It is well-established that the inclusion of small atomic species such as boron (B) in powder
metal catalysts can subtly modify catalytic properties, and the associated changes in the …

When exposed to carbonation, Na 2 CO 3-activated slag (SCAS) concrete demonstrated
53% mass loss and 57% reduction in compressive strength due to the decalcification of C …

Among the available routes to enhance the mechanical behavior and toughening degree of
ceramics, in situ formation of acicular or platelet grains in the resulting microstructure has …

Two barium-containing borates BaMBO4 (M= Al, Ga) were synthesized via the solid-state
method under atmospheric pressure. The 3D configurations of BaGaBO4 and BaAlBO4 are …

The crystal structure and disorder phenomena of Al 4 B 2 O 9, an aluminum borate from the
mullite-type family, were studied using automated diffraction tomography (ADT), a recently …

Two new sodium aluminum borates, Na3AlB8O15 and Na3Al2B7O15, have been
successfully synthesized by the high‐temperature solution method. They crystallize in the …

A SiC whisker-bonded mullite foamed ceramic was prepared by using white clay, industrial
alumina and silicon powder as raw materials without solid carbon sources. The XRD, SEM …

Based on refractory end-users' requirements, continuous efforts have been made to design
engineered products able to withstand high temperatures (800–1500° C) and severe …

Dense aluminum borate (Al18B4O33) materials were processed by simple milling-sintering
of aluminum borate powders obtained by reacting calcined alumina and fine boric acid at …

Al5BO9 is a promising thermal sealing material for hypersonic vehicles due to its low
density, theoretically predicted low shear modulus, and low thermal conductivity. However …
