Two-photon additive manufacturing of ceramic materials has demon-strated high-precision manufacturing of tools at the micrometer scale. Here, we propose single photon volumetric additive manufacturing toovercome limitations on print size and which avoid th ...
[001]-Oriented barium titanate (BaTiO3) ceramics were prepared by templated grain growth using [001]-oriented plate-like template BaTiO3 particles, synthesized via the molten salt method. Platelets synthesized in a 2-step or 3-step molten salt were used in ...
Colloidal processing is a key aspect in modern ceramic processing but most formulations are found empirically. The need for a better knowledge based design of suspension formulation can be achieved by using interparticle potential modelling linked to rheol ...
This dissertation addresses the development of a Solid Freeform Fabrication process, Selective Laser Pyrolysis, to fabricate three-dimensional porous ceramic preforms from ceramic powders and preceramic polymers. It contributes to a better understanding of ...
The present thesis deals with new composite photoresists for the UV-LIGA and microstereolithography microfabrication processes. The aim is to build functional 3D objects, with high aspect ratio. Two projects have been investigated in parallel for each micr ...
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 ...
Over the last century, the constant quest to improve the mechanical properties of ceramics has ultimately led to the appearance and production of transparent ceramics. Indeed, microstructural refinement and reduction of the residual porosity after sinterin ...
Besides 'bulk' structural and functional ceramic, a third interesting group of inorganic or ceramic materials exists: particles used for medical applications like contrast agent as building blocks for photonic crystals, as thin or thick layers with control ...
Microstructural control is a key aspect in producing ceramics with tailored properties and is often achieved by using dopants in a rather empirical fashion. Atomic scale simulations could provide much needed insight but the long-standing challenge of linki ...
