“…Depending on the material composition, the grain sizes and the characteristics of the grain boundaries, microcracking might occur during cooling from sintering and/or during fracture. The adequate manipulation of the level of these stresses via microstructural design in monolithic and layered materials can lead to materials with improved flaw tolerance and/or toughness [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…It is known that several additives (e.g. MgO, Fe 2 O 3 ) may help reduce the rate of decomposition and increase the strength and conversion of Al 2 TiO 5 [3][4][5][6][7]. Of course the amount of Al 2 TiO 5 formed is influenced by the preparatory techniques, such as solid state reaction (reaction sintering or sintering of presynthesised Al 2 TiO 5 ), sol-gel processing, combusting or hot pressing [8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…In particular, there is nowadays a great effort to design and fabricate ceramic materials following the so called biomimetic approach, which consists in fabricating hierarchical structures through artificial methods mimicking natural bio-structures, which in most of the cases present a failure behaviour that significantly overcome that of the individual components (26)(27). In this sense, anisotropic materials on a macroscopic level have been developed (7,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). Materials formed by a combination of layers of different microstructures (7,(28)(29)(30) and materials fabricated by directional solidification of compositions close to eutectic ones (31-32) offer improved behaviour in comparison with the behaviour of monolithic materials with the same microstructure as that of the constituents.…”
