Thixotropic casting involves vibratory casting of highly thixotropic slips of very high solids loadings that are fluid only under vibration, using porous or nonporous molds. It is quite different from ...

The field of porous ceramics has experienced significant progress due to advanced processing methods such as freeze casting, also known as ice templating. This technique harnesses the directional ...

Particle size is the most important parameter in the production of ceramic products. The particle size must be optimised to ensure that the desired physical / mechanical properties are achieved. The ...

(Nanowerk News) In recent times, humans have faced the threats of global warming and depletion of energy resources. In Japan, about 40% of the greenhouse gases generated due to energy consumption are ...

Microwave cold sintering process (MW-CSP) was used to densify NaCl, KDP, MgMoO₄, Li₂MoO₄, and TiO₂ ceramics. Under the fundamental densification mechanisms dominated by the coupling of the transient ...
