Self-Replenishing, Wear-Resistant and Anti-Sticking Surfaces Based on Liquid Impregnation of Microstructured Mesoporous α-AI₂O₃ [Alpha Alumina] Matrices

Sriharitha Rowthu

Fabrication of wear-resistant omniphobic surfaces is a persistent scientific challenge and essential for various applications such as in paint industries, fluid transport, antifouling, reduction of friction drag on ship hulls, and stain resistant textiles. ...

Grain boundary complexion and transparent polycrystalline alumina from an atomistic simulation perspective

Paul Bowen, Abhishek Tewari

Transparent alumina is often processed with sintering additives such as, Y, La, and Mg, in order to limit its grain growth at high sintering temperatures. Usually, these additives segregate to the grain boundaries due to their larger cationic size than Al ...

Surface 3D Micro Free Forms: Multifunctional Microstructured Mesoporous alpha-Alumina by in Situ Slip Casting Using Excimer Laser Ablated Polycarbonate Molds

Paul Bowen, Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Sriharitha Rowthu

Ceramic surface microstructuring is a rapidly growing field with a variety of applications in tribology, wetting, biology, and so on. However, there are limitations to large-area microstructuring and fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) micro free forms. ...

Toward Knowledge-Based Grain-Boundary Engineering of Transparent Alumina Combining Advanced TEM and Atomistic Modeling

Paul Bowen, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Michael Stuer, Farhang Nabiei, Abhishek Tewari

Transition element dopants (e.g., Y, La) are commonly used as sintering aids in polycrystalline alumina ceramics, which segregate to the grain boundaries and control the grain-boundary mobility. However, due to the extremely thin (

Reactive friction stir processing of AA 5052-TiO2 nanocomposite: process-microstructure-mechanical characteristics

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a solid state route with a capacity of preparing fine grained nanocomposites from metal sheets. In this work, we employed this process to finely distribute TiO2 nanoparticles throughout an Al-Mg alloy, aiming to enhance me ...

Effect of interfacial interactions on the electromechanical response of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene)/BaTiO3 composites and its time dependence after poling

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Sara Dalle Vacche

Solvent cast and compression molded composite films based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene), containing pristine and silylated BaTiO3 particles, were poled, and their electromechanical response (d(33)), their dielectric properties, and the cry ...

Dynamic crack propagation in a heterogeneous ceramic microstructure, insights from a cohesive model

Seyedeh Mohadeseh Taheri Mousavi

Silicon nitride is a widely used industrial ceramic, specifically for dynamic loading applications because of its special mechanical and material properties. The investigation of the underlying mechanisms which lead to these properties is experimentally ch ...

Segregation of anion (Cl−) impurities at transparent polycrystalline α-alumina interfaces

Paul Bowen, Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Farhang Nabiei, Abhishek Tewari

Small amounts of anion impurities (e.g. Cl), which are incorporated during the synthesis of ceramic powders, can affect the properties and microstructure of the final sintered ceramic. The effect of anion impurities is a little studied and poorly understoo ...

Performance of ceramic anvils for high pressure neutron scattering

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

Three kinds of ceramics, zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA), alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), were tested as anvil materials, mainly for the purpose of neutron scattering study under high pressure. ZTA with non-toroidal ...
