The scientific investigation of magma fragmentation and the development of experiments to
constrain and quantify its mechanisms, dynamics, efficiency and products was ushered in …

Volcanic ash is a major threat to aviation safety. The softening/melting temperatures of
volcanic ash lie far below typical aero‐engine operating temperatures. Thus, molten ash can …

Grain boundary (GB) corrosion of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) under calcium-magnesium-
alumino-silicates (CMAS) attack was investigated. Dense YSZ ceramics with YO 1.5 …

Reversible wettability transition has drawn substantial interest because of its importance for
widespread applications, but facile realization of such transition on ceramic surfaces, which …

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with higher rare earth (RE) contents are more resistant to
CaO-MgO-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 (CMAS) attack due to their reaction to form apatite protective …

Airborne silicate pollutants in flight corridors pose a serious threat to aviation safety whose
severity is directly linked to the wettability of molten silicates on thermal barrier coatings …

Aero-engine is a key part of aircraft, the operating temperature of which is being pushed to
unprecedented levels for higher engine efficiency and performance. To accomplish higher …

Plasma spray physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD)(Gd 0.9 Yb 0.1) 2 Zr 2 O 7 (GYbZ) thermal
barrier coatings (TBCs) exhibited better silicate-phobicity than coatings produced by …

Abstract In 2010, southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted, releasing ash that
spread across Europe. Due to its potential to damage aircraft, much of European airspace …
