- Metals and ceramics are becoming increasing of importance to microsystem in reproduction and molding techniques because of the mechanical and physical properties.
- An assessment has been made of the current interest and potential future of zirconia ceramics for structural applications.
- Laser machining of structural ceramics is increasingly gaining acceptance as an alternative to traditional machining methods.
- Spark plasma sintering (SPS), initially developed as an advanced sintering technique for consolidating nanopowders into nanostructured bulk materials, has been recently looked at in much broader perspective and gained a strong reputation of a versatile method of solid state processing of metals, ceramics, and composites.
- Encompassing nanoscale thin twins in metals induces diverse influences, either strengthening triggered by the lattice dislocation blockage effects or softening prompted by dislocation emission from coherent twin boundary (CTB)/grain boundary (GB) intersections as well as CTB migration; yet the deformation mechanism remains poorly understood in ceramic nanostructures possessing covalent bonds.
- Powder-binder processing technologies are commonly used to form near finished shape parts for high performance metals and ceramics, but for successful powder–binder processing, it is necessary to estimate the critical powder loading to optimise the powder loading of powder–binder mixture.
- Calcium phosphate ceramic microspheres have attracted many research interests in various application fields, such as separation, catalysis, sensor, tissue engineering and drug delivery, due to their excellent permeability, high surface area ratio, low density and stable mechanical properties.
- The demand for ceramics with improved toughness and flaw tolerance has focused attention in recent years on R-curve behavior which is characterized by an increase in crack resistance (toughness) with crack extension.
- Because of excellent physical properties and wide range of applications in electrodes, electrical connections, microelectronic packaging, and heating mineral, Tungsten-copper (W-Cu) composite powders have been significantly remarkable.
