Despite lower hardness, stiffness, and resistance to harsh environments, heavy metallic
parts and soft polymer-based composites are often preferred to ceramics because they offer …

Inkjet printing of ceramic materials is a shaping process of interest for building micrometer-
sized components. It consists of depositing droplets of colloidal inks according to a printing …

Functionalities of clay-polymer nanocomposites (CPN) are related to the degree of clay
particle exfoliation and orientation within the polymer matrix. Exploration of new physical …

Layered Silicates (LS) such as hectorite clays have been used as host matrices for optically
functional species due to their tunable structure. Luminescence has been reported for …

The present work reports the electrorheological (ER) response of high‐density polyethylene
(HDPE)/organically modified silicate layers nanocomposites based on four commercially …

Spinodal decomposition leads to spontaneous fluctuations of the local concentration. In the
early stage, the resulting pattern provides explicit information about the material properties …

Despite lower hardness, stiffness, and resistance to harsh environments, heavy metallic
