Oxide Ceramic Alloys and Microlaminates and Low Temperature Processing and Kinetics of Ceramics and Ceramic Matrix Composites with Large Interfacial Areas
ABSTRACT
We have discovered a novel two-step sintering method that opened up a low temperature processing window within which
fully dense nanocrystalline yttrium oxide was obtained with no concurrent grain growth during final-stage sintering. We have
developed a new method of processing laminate ceramics using deformation processing in the green state. We have lastly
developed a colloidal processing technique to encapsulate biomolecules at ambient, neutral-pH, aqueous conditions.
