Summary: ZrB2-SiC powder with increased eutectic content was fabricated through the induction plasma spheroidization process using raw materials of different particle sizes. The microstructure and phase composition of the coating were examined before and after ablation testing. The use of nanometer raw materials facilitated the formation of more ZrB2-SiC eutectic phases during the IPS process. The porosity of the coating decreased from 32.26% to 22.86%. TEM analysis revealed two types of interstitial phases in the ZrB2-SiC coating: fine ZrB2 particles surrounded by SiC and dendritic ZrB2-SiC eutectic. The ZrB2-SiC coating provided effective protection for C/C composites for 120 s at 2000 °C, with an ablation mass rate of -1.18 x 10-4 g/s.

Summary: The densification behavior and mechanical properties of ZrB2-based composites were studied. It was found that fully dense composites could be achieved at lower sintering temperature and pressure when the HfSi2 content was above 20 vol.%. The composites exhibited a special core-shell structure with ZrB2 as the core and (Zr, Hf)B-2 solid solution as the shell. The diffusion of Hf atom into the boride matrix contributed to the core-shell structure formation and enhanced densification, while the intergranular liquid phase induced by HfSi2 addition effectively filled the micropores during sintering. With 20 vol.% HfSi2, the composite showed maximum compressive strength, hardness, and fracture toughness values of 1617 MPa, 15.99 GPa, and 2.44 MPa m(1/2), respectively.

Summary: The final-stage sintering process of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) ceramics was analyzed, and it was found that temperatures above 1900 degrees C and an applied uniaxial pressure of 50 MPa were necessary to achieve full density. Specimens sintered between 1900 and 2100 degrees C had relative densities greater than 97%, while those sintered below 1900 degrees C did not reach the final stage of sintering. The dominant mechanism for final-stage sintering was determined to be dislocation motion.

Summary: The recent increase in plastic use and pollution has created a strong demand for bioplastics. This study investigates the use of biochar (BC) as a filler in poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/starch composites. The results show that the particle size and loading of BC greatly influence the mechanical properties of the composites. A combination of smaller particle size and lower loading leads to increased tensile strength and toughness of the composites.

Summary: ZrB2-SiC coatings were prepared on graphite surfaces by slurry brushing method to enhance oxidation resistance. The effects of ZrB2 content and polyvinyl butyral (PVB)-ethanol solution concentration on microstructure and static oxidation behavior were investigated. Results show that increasing ZrB2 content improves the oxidation resistance of the coatings. Increasing binder solution concentration raises component content in the coatings. Excellent oxidation resistance is attributed to self-sealing ability of B2O3 and borosilicate glass, as well as the restriction of microcrack growth by ZrO2 and ZrSiO4 particles in the coatings.

Summary: In this study, zirconia ceramics were prepared by sintering nano-CeO2 (Ce = 7 mol%) doped zirconia powder under high-frequency microwave irradiation. The different effects of temperature environment on the phase structure transformation, surface functional groups, microstructure, growth process, and density of doped zirconia were analyzed, and the optimized microwave sintering process for zirconia was determined. The experimental results show that the tetragonal phase of zirconia is positively correlated with temperature, and the density and growth activation energy of zirconia are also related. Furthermore, the efficient heating of microwave and the incorporation of nano-ceria stabilizer affect the particle growth and phase transition temperature of zirconia.

Summary: Dual-phase, high-entropy boride-carbide ceramics were densified by pressureless sintering, achieving relative densities up to approximately 96%. Isostatic pressing at 200 MPa resulted in higher relative densities of both the green bodies and final ceramics compared to uniaxial pressing. The highest relative density of 96.3% was achieved for a ceramic that was isostatically pressed at 200 MPa and sintered at 2300 degrees C for 2 h, with grain sizes of approximately 2 mu m. This is the first report of pressureless sintering of dual-phase, high-entropy boride-carbide ceramics.

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: Silicide ceramics, including tantalum disilicide (TaSi2), are known for their exceptional physical properties but are limited in practical applications due to their inherent brittleness at room temperature. In this study, we successfully improved the mechanical properties of TaSi2 ceramics and increased their electrical conductivity by modifying the preparation methods and sintering conditions. These findings provide valuable insights for future applications of TaSi2 and the design of advanced ceramic materials.

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.

It reveals that high Na+ content leads to large ferroelectric domains, while high K+ content results in local polarity heterogeneity and distinct dielectric relaxational behavior. The balanced local polarity and stress heterogeneities contribute to improved piezoelectricity.
