Among hard materials, icosahedra-based boron-rich ceramics are only second to diamond-
based structures. This class of ceramics possesses lower density, higher thermal and …

B4C–SiC composite ceramics are a very promising alternative to pure B4C ceramics and
pure SiC ceramics. B4C–SiC composite ceramics exhibit a combination of the desirable …

A methodology is described for characterizing the spatial distribution of thermal mismatch
stresses at grain level in B 4 C-SiC-Si ceramic composites using Raman spectroscopy …

The well-documented formation of amorphous bands in boron carbide (B 4 C) under contact
loading has been identified in the literature as one of the possible mechanisms for its …

Over the last two decades, many studies have contributed to improving our understanding of
the brittle failure mechanisms of boron carbide and provided a road map for inhibiting the …

Micro-Raman spectroscopy (MRS) was utilized to investigate the graphitization of diamond
particles within a UO 2-diamond composite processed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) …

Polypropylene (PP) composites reinforced with hexagonal boron carbide (B 4 C)
nanoparticles were constructed using a Material Extrusion (MEX) 3D printing method. The …

The influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the mechanical properties and structure
formation during reactive sintering of B 4 C materials with Si addition was studied. Upon …

Boron carbide undergoes stress-induced amorphization when subjected to large non-
hydrostatic stresses that exceed its elastic limit. This has been proposed as the source for …

The residual pressure surrounding quasistatic and dynamic Vickers indentations in boron
carbide was quantitatively mapped in 3 dimensions using Raman spectroscopy. These …
