“…The progress in the methods of manufacturing two-dimensional (2D) materials, initiated by obtaining graphene by Geim and Novoselov [12], created an opportunity for the development of a new family of composites reinforced with 2D crystals. The use of crystals with a 2D structure, such as graphene, graphene oxide, or surface-modified graphene as a reinforcement, by significantly reducing the growth of grain and introducing strengthening mechanisms into the matrix, causes a significant improvement of mechanical, electrical, and functional properties [13][14][15][16] with just a small addition of crystals with a 2D structure.…”

This article presents new findings related to the problem of the introduction of MXene phases into the silicon carbide matrix. The addition of MXene phases, as shown by the latest research, can significantly improve the mechanical properties of silicon carbide, including fracture toughness. Low fracture toughness is one of the main disadvantages that significantly limit its use. As a part of the experiment, two series of composites were produced with the addition of 2D-Ti3C2Tx MXene and 2D-Ti3C2Tx surface-modified MXene with the use of the sol-gel method with a mixture of Y2O3/Al2O3 oxides. The composites were obtained with the powder metallurgy technique and sintered with the Spark Plasma Sintering method at 1900 °C. The effect adding MXene phases had on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the produced sinters was investigated. Moreover, the influence of the performed surface modification on changes in the properties of the produced composites was determined. The analysis of the obtained results showed that during sintering, the MXene phases oxidize with the formation of carbon flakes playing the role of reinforcement. The influence of the Y2O3/Al2O3 layer on the structure of carbon flakes and the higher quality of the interface was also demonstrated. This was reflected in the higher mechanical properties of composites with the addition of modified Ti3C2Tx. Composites with 1 wt.% addition of Ti3C2Tx M are characterized with a fracture toughness of 5 MPa × m0.5, which is over 50% higher than in the case of the reference sample and over 15% higher than for the composite with 2.5 wt.% addition of Ti3C2Tx, which showed the highest fracture toughness in this series.

ZrO2 ceramic exhibits the characteristics of high hardness, good thermochemical stability, desirable biocompatibility, and unique stress‐activated tetragonal to monoclinic transformation toughening, thus having broad development prospects. However, as a typical ceramic material, it has the common shortcoming of brittleness and seriously limits the possible applications. In recent years, worldwide efforts have been made to improve the toughness of ZrO2 ceramic materials, which has great significance in promoting its industrial application. Herein, the influences of phase composition, stabilizer, grain size, and sintering method on fracture toughness of ZrO2 ceramic are introduced. The mechanism of phase transformation toughening, single‐phase and multiphase material dopant toughening, and lamellar ceramic toughening are also summarized. Moreover, the prevailing applications of toughened ZrO2‐based materials in structural ceramics, coatings, and biomaterials are discussed. The present review may offer insights in designing and fabricating ZrO2 materials with high strength and toughness to provide better performances in diverse applications fields.

Although ceramics have many advantages when compared to metals in specific applications, they could be more widely applied if their low properties (fracture toughness, strength, and electrical and thermal conductivities) are improved. Reinforcing ceramics by two nano-phases that have different morphologies and/or properties, called the hybrid microstructure design, has been implemented to develop hybrid ceramic nanocomposites with tailored nanostructures, improved mechanical properties, and enhanced functionalities. The use of the novel spark plasma sintering (SPS) process allowed for the sintering of hybrid ceramic nanocomposite materials to maintain high relative density while also preserving the small grain size of the matrix. As a result, hybrid nanocomposite materials that have better mechanical and functional properties than those of either conventional composites or nanocomposites were produced. The development of hybrid ceramic nanocomposites is in its early stage and it is expected to continue attracting the interest of the scientific community. In the present paper, the progress made in the development of alumina hybrid nanocomposites, using spark plasma sintering, and their properties are reviewed. In addition, the current challenges and potential applications are highlighted. Finally, future prospects for developing alumina hybrid nanocomposites that have better performance are set.
