Multiscale microshaping of functionally graded polymer-derived SiCN ceramics
Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) exhibit excellent properties and are compatible with many shaping techniques due to the liquid character of the preceramic polymers (PCPs). Furthermore, their properties are adjustable by modifying the precursor composition ...
EPFL2022Piezoelectric suspended microchannel resonators
The objective of this PhD thesis is the development of a microfluidic platform for the real-time measurements of the mechanical properties of biological analytes at the single entity level.The systems developed for these purposes consist of piezoelectrical ...
EPFL2022Systematic investigations of uranium carbide composites oxidation from micro- to nano-scale: Application to waste disposal
The production of radioisotope beams at the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator OnLine DEvice) facility at CERN is achieved by irradiating target materials (e.g. uranium carbides and metal foils) with protons. The materials are usually operated at temperatures above ...
EPFL2021Strain glass transition of cobalt phase in a cemented carbide
Cemented carbides are hard materials used for the fabrication of cutting tools. They consist of hard micron or sub-micron carbide grains held together in a matrix of a tough metallic binder such as cobalt. The understanding and control of cobalt characteri ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Mechanical properties of MC multimetallic carbides in steel
Carbides constitute a class of materials used for many applications, where excellent mechanical properties, such as stiffness, hardness and fracture toughness, are required. The machining industry is a typical example where carbide are crucial materials. W ...
EPFL2018The role of nanocrystalline binder metallic coating into WC after additive manufacturing
Tungsten carbide with microsized particle powders are commonly used embedded in a tough binder metal. The application of these composites is not limited to cutting tools, WC based material has been increasingly used in gaskets and other mechanical parts wi ...
