Die exakte wissenschaftliche Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Keramik hat erst zum Ende des
19. Jahrhunderts eingesetzt. Die dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dienten nicht nur der …

In this paper we propose a vector function ξ (n̂) as an alternative to the scalar function γ
(n̂) with which the free energy of anisotropic surfaces is usually described. The vector …

The London dispersion forces, along with the Debye and Keesom forces, constitute the long‐
range van der Waals forces. London's and Hamaker's work on the point‐to‐point dispersion …

Résumé Les caractéristiques des changements de phases d'équilibre du 1er ordre des
joints de grains eux-mêmes sont telles qu'elles conduisent à une définition des phases des …

Abnormal grain growth (AGG) is not one of the intrinsic properties of alumina but rather is an
extrinsic property that is controlled by certain impurities that are introduced during powder …

The effects of MgO on sintering and grain growth of alumina in the absence of any other
impurities as well as in the presence of various amounts of CaO were investigated using …

The interface atomic structure was proposed to have a critical effect on microstructure
evolution during sintering of ceramic materials. In liquid‐phase sintering, spherical grains …

Computer modelling techniques were used to elucidate the hydration behaviour of three iron
(hydr) oxide minerals at the atomic level: white rust, goethite and hematite. A potential model …

The effects of chromia (Cr2O3) additions on the microstructural evolution and the
mechanical properties of alumina (Al2O3) were investigated. When small amounts (< 5 …

This study focuses on interfacial bonding between intergranular silicon carbide particles and
an alumina matrix, to determine the creep inhibition mechanism of alumina/silicon carbide …
