Ferroelectrics have a spontaneous electrical polarization that is arranged into domains and
can be reversed by an externally-applied field. This high versatility makes them useful in …

The controlled development of texture is one of the ways for effectively improving physical
and mechanical properties. In this review paper, we introduce a new processing of textured …

Coated tools constitute the majority of the tools applied in material removal processes,
rendering the employment of uncoated ones as an exception. A broad growing market of …

The distribution and orientation of platelet‐shaped particles of α‐alumina in a fine‐grained
alumina matrix is shown to template texture development via anisotropic grain growth. The …

Electrical, mechanical and other properties of ceramic materials can be controlled by
designing their microstructures. It had generally been difficult to utilize a magnetic field for …

α-Al2O3 coatings with (101̄2),(101̄4),(0001) and (101̄0) textures were obtained using
chemical vapour deposition. The textured coatings were compared with α-Al2O3 obtained …

The Templated Grain Growth (TGG) of Al2O3 occurs in three stages: densification, radial
growth of individual template grains until template impingement, and template grain …

Dense, high quality textured alumina was fabricated by templated grain with only 0.14
wt%(SiO2+ CaO) and 1–15wt% tabular alumina templates From stereological …

A novel method of reaction sintering combined with hot-pressing technology was developed
to prepare Li 2 Si 2 O 5 glass–ceramics with high flexural strength, hardness and fracture …

Textured, dense zinc oxide varistors were successfully fabricated by Templated Grain
Growth (TGG) technique. Rod-like, anisotropic ZnO particles (templates) were synthesized …
