Composites formed from wood fibers and man-made cellulosic fibers in PLA (polylactic acid) matrix, manufactured using sheet forming technique and hot pressing, are studied. The composites have very low density (due to high porosity) and rather good elastic ...

A relation for an adequate pore fraction needed to obtain residual Si and C free composites via reactive Si-X alloy infiltration is presented. The volume ratio of SiC and carbonaceous phase, the composition of the infiltrating liquid and the apparent densi ...

Delamination is a well-known damage mode exhibited by laminated composites which has been extensively studied in unidirectional laminates (UD). In this work, a novel strategy consisting of the introduction of a small interlaminar defect to enhance the frac ...

The thermomechanical properties of materials are among the most important properties for designing precision instruments, in particular for devices seeking high-dimensional stability, invariant temperature-elastic properties or low thermoelastic losses. De ...

Summarizing the work of nearly a decade of research on spark plasma sintering (SPS), a review is given on the specificities and key factors to be considered in SPS of ceramic materials, based on the authors’ own research. Alumina is used primarily as a mod ...

In a composite material (6), comprising a fibrous reinforcement (3), and a polymer matrix (14), wherein the polymer matrix (14) comprises two interpenetrating phases, namely a thermoset phase and a continuous thermoplastic phase, wherein the thermoset phas ...

The work needed to mechanically drive molten metal into a porous solid preform when producing a composite material by infiltration can significantly exceed the energy change required for thermodynamically reversible infiltration. We measure, by quantitativ ...

Silicon infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSiC) is one of the most promising and economical non-oxide ceramic matrix composites for high-temperature structural applications. In recent years infiltration by Si-alloys instead of pure Si has become popular to avo ...

Two-photon additive manufacturing of ceramic materials has demon-strated high-precision manufacturing of tools at the micrometer scale. Here, we propose single photon volumetric additive manufacturing toovercome limitations on print size and which avoid th ...

Micro- and nanoscale metallic glasses offer exciting opportunities for both fundamental research and applications in healthcare, micro-engineering, optics and electronics. The scientific and technological challenges associated with the fabrication and util ...
