The lithium aluminosilicate system (LAS) is being explored for almost seven decades due to
its anomalous and attractive properties (especially low/negative thermal expansion and fast …

A simple, soft, and fast microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was used for the
preparation of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite powders from commercially-available Fe (NO 3) …

Microwave sintering has emerged in recent years as a novel method for sintering a variety of
materials that have shown significant advantages against conventional sintering …

Processing of ceramic materials has also a strong impact in the quality of the consolidated
body, as it plays a key role in the resulting microstructure and, as a consequence, in its final …

Abstract The compound BaZn2Si2O7 shows a high coefficient of thermal expansion up to a
temperature of 280° C, then a transition to a high temperature phase is observed. This high …

The objective of this work is to study the changes in the physical and mechanical properties
of strontium-doped lanthanum manganite (LSM) material and LSM-YSZ (ZrO 2 doped with 8 …

The sinterability of 3Y-TZP/TiO 2 materials using micrometre-sized ZrO 2 and nanometre-
