Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are an advanced family of polymers that change their shape through electric stimulation and have been a point of interest since their inception. This unique functionality has helped EAPs to contribute to versatile fields...

Lanthanum molybdenum oxide (La₂Mo₂O₉, LAMOX)-based ion conductors have been used as potential electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells. The parent compound La₂Mo₂O₉ undergoes a structural phase transition from monoclinic (P2₁) to cubic (P2₁3) at 580 °...

The present work shows the path towards the industrial production of ceramic tiles containing a high amount of recycling materials in the substitution of natural raw materials. Starting from the applied research at laboratory scale, which is able to...

Tailoring electrical and mechanical properties in the fluorite oxides family is of great interest for technological applications. Other than doping and substitution, entropy-driven stabilization is an emerging technique for new solid solutions format...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate and compare the effect of various surface treatments on the micromorphology and the roughness of four CAD/CAM lithium silicate-based glass-ceramics (LSGC). Method: Eighty specimens of four LDGC materials (IP...

In this paper, we examined the dielectric properties of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ (CCTO) ceramics fabricated by various routes and discussed the most important conditions affecting their dielectric behavior. We prepared feedstock powder using a molten salt route a...

Numerical calculations were carried out to simulate, under conditions of close spark plasma sintering (SPS), the temperature distribution during the passage of current in dense cylindrical samples of two materials: aluminum oxide and copper located i...

Composite electrolytes containing lithium ion conducting polymer matrix and ceramic filler are promising solid-state electrolytes for all solid-state lithium ion batteries due to their wide electrochemical stability window, high lithium ion conductiv...

Brushing with bonded abrasives is a flexible finishing process used for the deburring and the rounding of workpiece edges as well as for the reduction of the surface roughness. Although industrially widespread, insufficient knowledge about the contac...

Composite ceramics of stabilizer oxide coated ytterbia-samaria costabilized zirconia (1.5Yb1.5Sm-TZP) and 24–32 vol% of tungsten carbide as an electrically conductive dispersion were manufactured by hot pressing at 1300–1400 °C for 2 h at 60 MPa pres...

Fine biocompatible powders with different phase compositions were obtained from a 0.5 M solution of ammonium sulfate (NH₄)₂SO₄ and calcium lactate Ca(C₃H₅O₃)₂. The powder after synthesis and drying at 40 °C included calcium sulfate dehydrate CaSO₄·2H...

Ceramic tiles and ceramic tile adhesives (CTA) are two impressive materials that have changed construction history. Ceramic tiles could not provide their beauty and durability for buildings when used as a covering both for the inside and exterior fin...

Anisotropic CuCrO₂ thin films were successfully prepared on glass substrate by the electrospinning method followed by annealing at 600 °C. The directionality of the nanowires increased with increases in rotation speed. In addition, the structural for...
