Summary: The effect of second phase addition of zirconia on the mechanical response of textured alumina was studied. Highly textured monolithic tape-casted alumina was obtained through templated grain growth. Compositions containing different percentages of non-stabilised and yttria-stabilised zirconia were investigated. XRD analyses showed that the texture degree decreased with increasing second phase content. Microstructural analysis revealed the presence of zirconia grains inside the textured alumina grains, which affected the mode of fracture. The fracture toughness of textured alumina significantly decreased with the addition of a second phase, but the fracture toughness of textured alumina with yttria-stabilised zirconia was comparable to equiaxed alumina.

Summary: The role of anisotropic grain boundary energy in grain growth was investigated using textured microstructures. The textured microstructure exhibited faster growth and an increased population of low-angle boundaries compared to the untextured microstructure. AFM measurements showed that the grain boundary energy distribution narrowed and shifted to a lower average energy in the textured microstructure, while the energy distribution broadened in the untextured microstructure.

Summary: This study proposes a new strategy for maximizing texturing effect by suppressing the growth of untextured matrix grains, successfully preparing textured ceramics with ultrahigh piezoelectric properties. It demonstrates that in the templated grain growth technique, not only the degree of texture but also the coarsening of untextured matrix grains should be well-controlled.

Summary: Disk-shaped sintered compacts of c-axis-aligned lanthanum silicate oxyapatite (LSO) polycrystals doped with K2O and Al2O3 were prepared using templated grain growth method. The doping elements were introduced using tabular single crystals of K2O- and F-doped LSO as template particles and Al2O3-doped LSO as matrix powder. The resulting polycrystals showed higher oxide-ion conductivity along the c-axis direction, resulting in significantly higher total oxide-ion conductivity compared to randomly grain-oriented polycrystals. The textured polycrystals also showed potential application as electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells operating at medium to low temperatures.

Summary: Current grain growth models do not fully explain the impact of grain boundary networks on overall growth kinetics. In this study, highly textured materials were fabricated to explore the role of anisotropic networks in driving rapid grain growth. These findings will contribute to improved modeling of grain growth in real systems.

Summary: A strategy was proposed to improve the texture degree and density of ceramics simultaneously by a grain-orientation-engineered technique. Template layers without mixed matrix were prepared by the brushing technique to solve the problem of directional arrangement of template particles. Dense textured NaSr2Nb5O15 ceramics with grain size gradient distribution were designed by the lamination of template and matrix layers. Moreover, an evaluation method of texture degree was developed, and ferroelastic and ferroelectric domains were observed simultaneously in the oriented grains.

Summary: This study compared nine composite adsorbents prepared by electrospinning, tape-casting, and the powder method, with polyacrylonitrile/ferric hydroxide (fiber) showing the highest arsenic(III) adsorption capacity. Adjusting the pH to around 9 and operating at 15 degrees Celsius resulted in the highest adsorption capacities, demonstrating that electrospun membranes had the highest efficiency for arsenic removal among the three types of adsorbents.

Summary: An asymmetric alumina microfiltration membrane with high performance was prepared by combining freeze and tape casting techniques followed by two sintering steps. The morphology influences were investigated for different solid loadings, additives content and the assembled layer membrane structures. The assembled ceramic membrane had an average pore size between 30 and 50 m, suitable for microfiltration separation with porosity in the range of 26-50% and water flux of 11-32 m(3) m(-2) h(-1) bar(-1).

Summary: The structural study of (K0.5Bi0.5)ZrO3 compound (KBZ) revealed a cubic ABO(3) perovskite structure, with a linear increase in lattice parameter above room temperature and no phase transition or decomposition observed up to 1273 K. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric losses below room temperature require further investigation. Although KBZ is difficult to sinter, it does not exhibit relaxor behavior in dielectric properties despite the mixed occupancy of A-site ions. However, electrostriction is observed at room temperature, suggesting that KBZ may be an interesting material with improved sintering.
