Summary: Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) are cost-effective and versatile for manufacturing thin-film sensors, and laser pyrolysis is used to fabricate a sensitive thin-film temperature sensor with a pyrolysis process that only takes 1.7 seconds. The PDC sensor shows good repeatability in resistance-temperature tests, and is capable of measuring temperature from room temperature to 800 degrees C. This provides a rapid method for the fabrication of PDC film heat flux sensors and anemometers, among other applications.

Summary: The mechanical properties of a ZrB2-SiC-G ultrahigh temperature ceramic were evaluated through ultrahigh-temperature uniaxial tension and in-situ monitoring of fracture behavior. The material exhibited inconsistent property degradation at temperatures between 1200-2000°C. Tensile modulus degradation was significant at 1400°C, while strength degradation occurred mainly at 1800°C. Elastic fracture was observed at 1200, 1400, and 1600°C, but interrupted at 1800 and 2000°C. Severe plasticity occurred in this temperature range, reducing the material's bearing capacity. The brittle-to-ductile transition was confirmed through in-situ observation of fracture behavior at 1200-2000°C. Finally, a constitutive relation of modulus and strength was developed, considering the effect of temperature, which can be applied in finite element models for the structural design of UHTC-based thermal protection systems.

Summary: Porous Si/C/O/(N) ceramic bodies were prepared by direct consolidation of liquid silicon-based preceramic polymer/porogen systems followed by burnout and N2 pyrolysis. The material was characterized by porosity analysis, phase evolution study, and microstructure analysis. The ceramics exhibited hierarchical porosity with larger irregular pores and a smaller volume of meso- and micropores. The presence of meso- and micropores contributed to the high specific surface area achieved in the material pyrolyzed at 1500 degrees C.

Summary: The attainment of both high strength and toughness is the ultimate goal for most structural materials. Although ceramic materials have high strength and good chemical stability, they suffer from low toughness. Y-TZP-based ceramic materials with toughnesses exceeding 20 MPa m(1/2) and strengths over 1,200 MPa have been developed by reducing the phase stability of tetragonal zirconia through tailoring microstructure and chemistry, which can further advance the design and application of ceramic-based structural materials.

Summary: Flash sintering of alumina is more difficult than that of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). However, mixed powders of bi-phasic ceramics can be flash sintered under lower conditions. This study found that flash initiates in the YSZ layer and then spreads through the alumina layer after a brief incubation period.

Summary: This study describes a new system for flash sintering, where a green sample is sintered quickly using an energy transfer mechanism between the reactor walls and the sample through a magnetic field. The experiments show that the reactor walls, in a constant state of flash, generate a concentrated plasma field that helps transfer energy to the green sample. The method is capable of achieving high-density and uniform nanoscale sintering in just a few seconds.

Summary: Ultrafast high-temperature sintering and flash sintering are novel methods for rapid ceramic sintering, completed in a few seconds. They both exhibit abrupt increase in electrical conductivity and electroluminescence. The induction of flash without the application of electric field suggests that rapid heating alone can induce similar effects.

Summary: We present first-time results for in-operando flash sintering synchrotron experiments carried out in current rate mode, allowing for a longer time dependence of the sintering behavior. Two results are shown: comparison of temperatures measured with the platinum standard to those predicted by the black body radiation model, and measurements of excess lattice expansion as a function of density. This work highlights the potential of current rate experiments for gaining further insights into the mechanisms of flash sintering.

Summary: This work presents an extension of the touch-free flash sintering technique, where chemical reaction and sintering occur simultaneously in the presence of electric and magnetic fields, without the use of electrodes. The study demonstrates the production of a dense, single-phase strontium hexaferrite magnet from a mixture of commercial carbonate and oxide powders in just over a minute. This technique offers significant reductions in energy and time consumption compared to conventional sintering, primarily due to its ultrafast processing.

Summary: In this study, CBS glass/Al2O3 composites were developed for LTCC applications based on a CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS) glass system with a high boron content. The study revealed that the softening of glass and interfacial reaction between the glass and Al2O3 were the two most important factors affecting LTCC's densification process. Real-time shrinkage rate of LTCC during sintering was successfully simulated, and it was proven that the formation of the CaAl2(BO3)O phase played a significant role in reducing glass viscosity and promoting dense structure formation. The resulting LTCC composite exhibited excellent performance for high-frequency applications.

Summary: In this study, the disordering caused by swift heavy ion irradiation in two different compositions of pyrochlore structures was investigated. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the samples before and after irradiation. It was found that both compositions underwent amorphization due to irradiation, with a slower rate observed in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1. The irradiation-induced modified track region in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1 consisted of defect-rich pyrochlore structure, anion-deficient fluorite structure, and amorphous domains.

Summary: Microstructure design plays a crucial role in regulating the microwave dielectric properties of materials, however, the understanding of frequency temperature stability and related micromechanism remains limited. In this study, a combination of first-principles calculations and experimental observation was used to investigate the correlation among sintering behavior, crystal structure, bonding nature, and microwave dielectric properties of LnPO(4) (Ln = Eu, Pr) ceramics. The research findings systematically clarify the optimized effect and micromechanism of lanthanides on the dielectric properties of monazite ceramics, providing insights into the design and enhancement of microwave dielectric materials.

Summary: The study investigates the frictional and wear behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites with different fiber orientations mating with ceramic balls. The results show that fiber orientation significantly affects the friction and wear properties of the composites. Pads with randomly arranged fibers demonstrate better friction stability and lower wear volume, potentially suitable for bearing material applications. The research also explores the factors influencing the formation of continuous tribo-film and identifies abrasive wear and oxidation wear as the dominant wear mechanisms for the friction pairs.
