Ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials (such as carbides, oxides and nitrides) made by shaping at a high temperature. Ceramics are hard, brittle, heat- and corrosion-resistant, and most often have a crystalline structure. Uncover the latest and most impactful research in Ceramics. Explore pioneering discoveries, insightful ideas and new methods from leading researchers in the field.
Expendable molds, such as sand, investment, and shell molds, are made from different types of refractory particles bonded by binders. Multiscale characterization of particle macro-shape and micro-surface topology is critical for achieving the...
Perovskite oxides are widely investigated for solid oxide fuel cells, catalysis, sensors, and other energy and functional applications; yet, selecting appropriate sintering temperatures remains challenging because sintering behavior depends on both...
This study investigated the effects of hydrothermal treatment (10, 20, 30, and 40 min) on the physical, milling, thermal, and microstructural properties of proso millet grains. Hydrothermal treatment modified key engineering properties, including...
The release of persistent synthetic dyes, including Brilliant Blue FCF, into aquatic environments is an increasing environmental concern because of their stability and resistance to conventional treatment methods. In this study, a green-synthesised...
This study investigates the microstructural evolution and interfacial stability of FAST/SPS-processed Al–10 wt% Ti₃SiC₂ composites consolidated at temperatures between 500 and 600 °C. Microstructural characterization by SEM, TEM and STEM-EDS...
The clogging behavior of a complete Al2O3–SiO2–C submerged entry nozzle (SEN) after the industrial service was investigated through multiscale characterization and was compared with that of a conventional Al2O3–C SEN. The clogging thickness,...
AZ61-Si3N4 Mg matrix composites with 5, 10, and 15 wt.% of Si3N4 were prepared in this study by stir–squeeze casting. The Si3N4reinforcement impact on dry sliding wear behaviour, microstructure, and mechanical properties was systematically examined...
In this study, friction stir processing (FSP) was employed to fabricate AZ31 magnesium-matrix composites reinforced with silica-rich rice husk ash (RHA), a sustainable reinforcement, to enhance their mechanical properties. The composites were...
Eggs are susceptible to moisture loss, quality deterioration, and microbial contamination during room-temperature storage. In this study, a fluorine-free, water-based TiO2@SiO2/chitosan composite coating was developed for egg preservation, with TiO2@SiO...
To investigate the influence of aggregate types on the long-term deformation performance of concrete after disasters, this paper takes normal-weight aggregate concrete (NWAC) and light weight aggregate concrete (LWAC) as the research objects, and...
Owing to its high Zn content, electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) requires treatment through a nonblast-furnace process for effective recycling. The electric smelting reduction furnace is a promising route for melting EAFD pellets to recover zinc as a...
Quantitative correlations between oxygen deficiency and multiple physical properties of Ba(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3(BFN) remain insufficiently established for specimens prepared under otherwise identical conditions. Here, BFN ceramics were synthesized by a...
The rapid depletion of bauxite resources, driven by rising global alumina demand, has strengthened the significance of secondary aluminum dross (SAD) as an alternative alumina source. However, the coexistence of calcium oxide (CaO) and silica (SiO2)...
This study presents the interlaboratory results on the autogenous deformation of alkali-activated slag (AAS) and alkali-activated metakaolin (AAMK) paste and mortar, obtained by the RRT3 Expert Group of RILEM technical committee (TC) 294-MPA. The...
To address the technical bottleneck in the disposal of high liquid limit waste clay in subgrade engineering and achieve synergistic resource utilization of industrial solid waste, this study proposes a treatment technology combining light-burned...
The thermo-mechanical reliability of solderable isotropic conductive adhesive (SICA) joints containing low-melting-point solder (LMS) filler was enhanced by incorporating high-melting-point solder (HMS) filler. SICA formulations containing LMS and...
In this study, ZrC and ZrC-ZrB2 ultra-high-temperature ceramic foams were fabricated through a slurry-based replication method, and their structural, mechanical, thermal, and oxidation properties were evaluated. Phenolic resin and ZrO2powders were...
Coal bottom ash (CBA), a byproduct of coal-based power plants, offers a potential route for reducing the environmental footprint of cement-based materials used to produce lightweight cellular concrete. This study experimentally investigates the...
To investigate the effect of different Y2O3 additions on the interfacial reaction behavior between CaZrO3–Y2O3 composite ceramic shells and ZTA15 titanium alloy, composite face coats containing 20, 40, 60, and 80 wt% Y2O3were prepared using...
This work presents a systematic investigation of the pyroelectric properties of ceramic materials synthesised in Armenia and evaluated as alternatives to conventional single-crystal pyroelectrics. A series of ceramic samples were fabricated via...
