This study reviews densification behaviour, mechanical properties, thermal, and electrical
conductivities of the ZrB2 ceramics and ZrB2-based composites. Hot-pressing is the most …

As a bridge spanning the gap between the atomistic level and its bulk counterpart,
nanoscaled systems have recently become an active area of research in materials science …

High-entropy ceramics generally exhibit reduced thermal conductivity, but little is known
about what controls this suppression and which descriptor can predict it. Herein, 22 single …

Using fluorite oxides as an example, this study broadens high-entropy ceramics (HECs) to
compositionally-complex ceramics (CCCs) or multi-principal cation ceramics (MPCCs) to …

A series of dual-phase high-entropy ultra-high temperature ceramics (DPHE-UHTCs) are
fabricated starting from N binary borides and (5-N) binary carbides powders.>∼ 99 …

Focuses on the effects of porosity and microcracking on the physical properties of ceramics,
particularly nominally single phase ceramics. The book elucidates the fundamental …

The finite‐element method (FEM) is used to study the influence of porosity and pore shape
on the elastic properties of model porous ceramics. Young's modulus of each model is …

Improved thermomechanical properties have been reported for various high-entropy oxides
containing typically five metal cations. This study further investigates a series of duodenary …

The principles of continuum mechanics can be extended to porous solids only if the effective
moduli are known. Although the effective bulk modulus has already been determined by …

Four different experimental techniques, namely resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS),
impulse excitation (IE), nanoindentation (NI) and four-point bending (4PB) test were used to …
