Porous phyllosilicate-based ceramics were manufactured by freeze-tape casting from clays of different particle size and morphology in order to characterize their microstructure stress rupture changes before after firing. Three raw selected: HCR (77% Halloysite–10Å), KORS (29% kaolinite), KCR kaolin (98% kaolinite). These exhibited a monomodal distribution used prepare four slurries, three with ...

Ceramic YAG/Yb:YAG/YAG planar waveguide lasers were realized on continuous-wave and mode-locked operations. The straight waveguide, fabricated by non-aqueous tape casting and solid state reactive sintering, enabled highly efficient diode-pumped waveguide continuous-wave laser with the slope efficiency of 66% and average output power of more than 3 W. The influence of the waveguide structure on ...

We describe a scalable method for producing continuous graphene networks by tape casting surfactant-stabilized aqueous suspensions of functionalized graphene sheets. Similar to all other highly connected graphene-containing networks, the degree of overlap between the sheets controls the tapes' electrical and mechanical properties. However, unlike other graphene-containing networks, the specific...

Flexible micro-supercapacitor (MSC) with in-plane electrodes has attracted significant attention as microscale energy storage device. Especially, flexible MSCs adhesion properties are of great interest for wearable electronics. Here, we demonstrate a facile and cost-effective mask-assisted drop-casting method to fabricate adhesive MSC on medical tape using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) doped poly (...
