Hybrid ceramics materials.

NIST Materials Properties Databases for Advanced Ceramics

The NIST Ceramics Division maintains two databases on the physical, mechanical, thermal, and other properties of high temperature superconductors and structural ceramics. Crystallographic data are featured prominently among the physical property data and serve several important functions in the classification and evaluation of the property values. The scope of materials, properties, and data ev...

Synthesis and Thermoluminescent Characterization of Ceramics Materials

The development of novels materials represents a new and fast evolving application of research in physics and medicine. Processing synthesis is critical because it generally controls the final properties of the materials, ceramic forming techniques are generally based on powder processing with powder synthesis, forming and sintering. Moreover, ceramic processing has also to consider other techn...

Surface Patterning of Functional Ceramics: A Materials Design

Introduction to Hybrid Materials

Recent technological breakthroughs and the desire for new functions generate an enormous demand for novel materials. Many of the well-established materials, such as metals, ceramics or plastics cannot fulfill all technological desires for the various new applications. Scientists and engineers realized early on that mixtures of materials can show superior properties compared with their pure coun...
