Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of
heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (> 100%) mechanical or physical …

The appropriate catalysts can accelerate the reaction rate and effectively boost the efficient
conversion of various molecules, which is of great importance in the study of chemistry …

The grain size, and therefore the grain boundary density, is known to play a major role in the
flow stress of metallic materials. A linear relationship to the inverse of the square root of the …

This paper provides a synergistic review of the current scenario and future prospects of
aluminum metal matrix composites (AMMCs). AMMCs are advanced materials that have …

Grain boundaries (GBs) play an important role in the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline
materials. Despite decades of investigation, the atomic-scale dynamic processes of GB …

Twin boundaries (TBs) are ubiquitous interfaces with specific structure in metallic materials.
They possess special interactions with dislocations and the fatigue cracking behaviors are …

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made structures with counterintuitive mechanical
properties that originate in the geometry of their unit cell instead of the properties of each …

Nanostructured metallic materials having nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained structures
show exceptional mechanical properties, eg superior strength, that are very attractive for …

Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

A wide variety of industrial applications require materials with high strength and ductility.
Unfortunately, the strategies for increasing material strength, such as processing to create …
