Spark Plasma Sintered Zirconia Ceramic Composites with Graphene-Based Nanostructures
(MDPI, 2018)
The addition of graphene-based nanostructures (GBNs) can improve the inherent fragility of ceramics and provide them with improved electrical and thermal conductivities. However, both the starting material (ceramic matrix ...

Nanocrystallization Kinetics Understood as Multiple Microprocesses Following the Classical Theory of Crystallization
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this work, we propose a model for using the classical Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) crystallization theory to analyze nanocrystallization processes as a set of multiple microprocesses. This model is based on the ...

Numerical Simulation of a Wall-Flow Particulate Filter Made of Biomorphic Silicon Carbide Able to Fit Different Fuel/Biofuel Inputs
(MDPI, 2019-12)
To meet the increasingly strict emission limits imposed by regulations, internal combustion engines for transport applications require the urgent development of novel emission abatement systems. The introduction of ...

Flue gas adsorption by single-wall carbon nanotubes: A Monte Carlo study
(American Institute of Physics Publising LLC, 2016)
Adsorption of flue gases by single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The flue gas is modeled as a ternary mixture of N2, CO2, and O2, emulating realistic compositions of ...

Grinding and particle size selection as a procedure to enhance the magnetocaloric response of La( Fe, Si)(13) bulk samples
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
The magnetocaloric effect of La(Fe,Si)13 samples deteriorates with the presence of secondary phases. However, it is highly challenging to produce single phase samples by conventional procedures and purification requires ...

Influence of the starting temperature of calorimetric measurements on the accuracy of determined magnetocaloric effect
(Elsevier, 2018)
Availability of a restricted heat capacity data range has a clear influence on the accuracy of calculated magnetocaloric effect, as confirmed by both numerical simulations and experimental measurements. Simulations using ...

Dense graphene nanoplatelet/yttria tetragonal zirconia composites: Processing, hardness and electrical conductivity
(Elsevier, 2017)
Yttria tetragonal zirconia ceramic composites with 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 vol% nominal contents of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were fabricated and characterized. First, the GNP dispersion in isopropanol was optimized to ...

Ball milling as a way to produce magnetic and magnetocaloric materials: a review
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Ball milling (BM) is a well-established technique for producing different materials in powder shape. Dynamical analysis of BM helps to optimize the process through simple but general relations (e.g., definition of an ...

Exotic grain growth law in twinned boron carbide under electric fields
(Elsevier, 2018)
Grain growth is a ubiquitous phenomenon in all materials, and it affects both structural and functional prop- erties. Despite its intrinsic importance, a full comprehension of grain growth from a fundamental point ...

The role of carbon nanotubes on the stability of tetragonal zirconia polycrystals
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
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 composites and after low–temperature ...
