The term “nature-inspired” is associated with a sequence of efforts to understand, synthesize
and imitate any natural object or phenomenon either in a tangible or intangible form, which …

Since its first introduction in 2016, cold sintering process (CSP) has gained worldwide
interest from the scientific community as green and innovative fabrication route due to the …

Cold sintering is an unusually low-temperature process that uses a transient transport
phase, which is most often liquid, and an applied uniaxial force to assist in densification of a …

Dielectric composites boost the family of energy storage and conversion materials as they
can take full advantage of both the matrix and filler. This review aims at summarizing the …

The need to reduce the energy consumed and the carbon footprint generated by firing
ceramics has stimulated research to develop consolidation techniques operating at lower …

This manuscript describes, defines, and discusses the process of cold sintering, which can
consolidate a broad set of inorganic powders between room temperature and 300° C using …

Ceramic–polymer composites are of interest for designing enhanced and unique properties.
However, the processing temperature windows of sintering ceramics are much higher than …

Inorganic salts are promising and effective candidates used as phase change materials
(PCMs) for medium and high temperature thermal energy storage applications, owning to …

Cold sintering densification and coarsening mechanisms are considered from the
perspective of the non-equilibrium chemo-mechanical process known in Earth Sciences as …

Traditionally ceramic artifacts are processed at high temperatures (> 1000° C) by classical
sintering techniques such as solid state, liquid phase and pressure-assisted sintering …
