Novel Structure, Properties, and Synthesis of Refractory Carbides

Dyatkin B., Laskoski M., Rock B.Y., Qadri S., Kolel-Veetil M., Keller T.M., Gamache R.M., U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, US

Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) and refractory carbides with high hardness and oxidation resistance demonstrate significant promise in armor and hypersonic engine applications. However, to date, they have been too brittle and expensive to widely implement [...]

Inkjet Printing of High κ-Dielectric Ceramic/Polymer Composite Thick Films

Mikolajek M., Binder J.R., Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), DE

Inkjet printing offers a high flexibility and therefore is increasingly gaining importance for the selective deposition of functional materials, for example in printed electronics. However, till today either particle based inks or inks based on [...]

Utilization of ceramic wastes as pozzolanics materials

Irassar E., Rahhal V., Tironi A., Trezza M., Pavlík Z., Pavlíková M., Pavlíková M., Jerman M., Cerný R., Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Bs.As., AR

The possible applicability of waste ceramic powder as partial portland cement replacement in concrete production is studied in this paper, due to rapid increase of concrete as building material. The cement industry alone is estimated [...]

Hybrid Polymeric-Ceramic Nanostructured Materials

Guillen G.R., Hoek E.M.V., Kaner R.B., Water Planet Engineering, US

UCLA professors have collaborated to develop a portfolio of IP around the synthesis of a new class of polymeric-ceramic nanostructures, coating films and membranes. As membranes, these novel materials exhibit microfiltration like productivity with nanofiltration-like [...]
