Biomass pyrolysis is considered one of the most promising technologies for production of
sustainable fuels. Rice husk ash (RHA) contains over 60% silica, 10–40% carbon and minor …

The use of composite materials, because of their light weight and high performance, has
increased manifold over the years, starting from aerospace to building applications …

Ceramic-based nanocomposites were reviewed, emphasizing the newly developed concept
of material design for ceramics. First, characteristics of the nanocomposites observed by …

The addition of SiC or TiC nanoparticles to polycrystalline alumina matrix has long been
known as an efficient way of improving the mechanical properties of alumina-based …

Toughening and strengthening mechanisms in ceramic-based nanocomposites were
explained based on Griffith's energy equilibrium and residual stresses around second …

Due to the rapidly degradative mechanical performance of selective laser melted (SLM) Al–
12Si at elevated temperatures, an Al–12Si–Ti alloy was synthesized by SLM processing with …

In this work, we have developed a new method for manipulating and transferring up to 5
mm× 10 mm epitaxial oxide thin films. The method involves fixing a PET frame onto a PMMA …

Al2O3/SiC composites were prepared by hot pressing with micrometer Al2O3 powders and
SiC powders as raw materials. The mechanical properties, including flexural strength …

This paper describes a new class of alumina composites based on a novel hybrid
microstructure design, in which multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and SiC …

The influence of different SPS‐based methods, that is, conventional spark plasma sintering
(SPS), flash SPS (FSPS), and reactive SPS (RSPS) on the properties of Al2O3/SiC …
