Transition-metal diborides are a class of abundantly available ceramic materials that exhibit
a landscape of rich properties such as extraordinary high strength, exceptional hardness …

Twenty years passed since the discovery of superconductivity in MgB2. Although there is
much progress, the use of superconductors, in general, and of MgB2 in particular, remains …

Herein, we report for the first time a simple strategy to design a hierarchical chemically
exfoliated magnesium diboride and guar gum network structure decorated with Ru …

Three commercial powders of MgB2 were tested in vitro by MTS and LDH cytotoxicity tests
on the HS27 dermal cell line. Depending on powders, the toxicity concentrations were …

Polycrystalline MgB 2 bulk samples were produced by ex-situ spark plasma sintering (SPS)
using the oxygen-free preceramic polymer additive poly (dimethylsilane) as a source for …

The paper presents fabrication and characterization of spark plasma sintered textured (001)
MgB 2 with a record degree of orientation of about 40% and 16% by high-energy ultra …

Bulk high density MgB 2 and a composite material made of a PLA matrix and MgB 2 powder
inclusions were in vivo tested as candidates for biodegradable materials for orthopedic …

Pristine high-density bulk disks of MgB2 with added hexagonal BN (10 wt.%) were prepared
using spark plasma sintering. The BN-added samples are machinable by chipping them into …

Abstract High density samples (92–94.5%) of MgB 2 were prepared by Spark Plasma
Sintering (SPS). The on-off pulsed current patterns of SPS processing were 8–4, 12–2, 24 …

We report for the first time on the antimicrobial activity of MgB2 powders produced via the
Reactive Liquid Infiltration (RLI) process. Samples with MgB2 wt.% ranging from 2% to 99 …
