Ceramic materials typically have to be sintered at high temperatures, often above 1000 C.
This precludes the coating of lower-melting substrate materials, such as metals, glasses and …

Cold spray is an emerging surface coating technology for rapidly developing thick coating,
thin films and additive manufacturing of parts at relatively low temperatures. The low cost …

A novel method for depositing ceramic thick films by aerosol deposition (AD) is presented.
Submicron ceramics particles are accelerated by gas flow up to 100–500 m/s and then …

Ceramic integration technology requires downsizing and/or improvement of device
performance in many applications, such as in the fabrication of microelectromechanical …

Graphene-based inks are becoming increasingly attractive for printing low-cost and flexible
electrical circuits due to their high electrical conductivity, biocompatibility, and manufacturing …

Application of hydroxyapatite (HA) in orthopedic implants suffers from its low fracture
toughness and poor wear resistance. Carbon nanotube (CNT), with its high stiffness and …

Recent exciting findings of the biological interactions of graphene materials have shed light
on potential biomedical applications of graphene-containing composites. Fabrication of bulk …

Cold spraying (CS) has been widely explored over the last decade due to its low process
temperature and limited thermal effect on spray materials. As a solid-state process, the …

The deformation and bonding of particles in Aerosol Deposition (AD) is a topic of growing
technological interest for solid-state coating and additive manufacturing with ceramic …
