Diffusion-driven superplasticity in ceramics: Modeling and comparison with available data
(2009)
The discovery of superplasticity in ceramics polycrystals led to debates about whether or not earlier models developed for metallic polycrystals can apply to these systems. In particular, all existing models require ...

Ultra-fast and energy-efficient sintering of ceramics by electric current concentration
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Electric current activated/assisted sintering (ECAS) techniques, such as electrical discharge sintering (EDS) or resistive sintering (RS), have been intensively investigated for longer than 50 years. In this work, a novel ...

Creep-resistant composites of alumina and single-wall carbon nanotubes
(2008)
Composites of alumina Al2O3 ceramic and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been tested in uniaxial compression at 1300 and 1350 °C (Ar atmosphere), and they have been found to be about two orders of magnitude more ...
