For decades, enormous investigation effort has been devoted to the fabrication of new
ceramic matrix composites with enhanced mechanical properties. One of the most explored …

Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), commonly referred to as ultimate
reinforcement, the main purpose for fabricating CNT–ceramic matrix composites has been …

This review outlines the state of the art, processing techniques, and mechanical testing
methods of zirconia (ZrO2)-based composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The …

Incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in thermally sprayed ceramic coatings is expected
to improve its properties. However, it is difficult to disperse CNT in the thermal spray …

The aim of this research is to investigate the combined effects of CeO 2 additions and hot-
isostatic pressing sintering (HIPping) technique on the hardness and toughness of ZTA …

In this study, zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) samples with different amounts of CeO 2
were prepared by the spark plasma sintering method. The phase composition and …

Although ceramics have many advantages when compared to metals in specific
applications, they could be more widely applied if their low properties (fracture toughness …

The effect of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) at zirconia grain boundaries on the
stability of a tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline matrix has been explored in as–sintered …

In marine environments, steel friction pairs undergo significant degradation due to the
combined effects of wear and corrosion, known as tribocorrosion. This study investigates the …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have occasionally been observed to benefit the aqueous
colloidal processing of nano-SiC with its nano-Y 3 Al 5 O 12 liquid-phase-sintering additives …
