Ceramics often have microstructure and grain sizes that affect material performance. It is possible to optimize microstructure and grain boundaries with ceramic processing parameters for specific ...

Providing multiple functional roles simultaneously, the composition of seashells and bones gradually vary throughout their structure making them part of a group of materials called Functionally Graded ...

Where high temperatures, aggressive chemical environments, and demanding mechanical conditions come together, ceramics can provide superior performance to metals. In such environments, ceramic-based ...
