“…5 Recently, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is an emerging technique that has been utilized to densify different kinds of materials. The SPS process is a pressure-assisted pulsed current sintering process in which densification is highly promoted at lower temperatures compared to conventional processes.…”

Textured alumina ceramics were obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering of undoped commercial a-Al 2 O 3 powders. Various parameters (density, grain growth, grain size distribution) of the alumina ceramics, sintered at two typical temperatures 1400 C and 1700 C, are investigated. Quantitative textural and structural analysis, carried out using a combination of Electron Back Scattering Diffraction and X-ray diffraction, are represented in the form of mapping and pole figures. The mechanical properties of these textured alumina ceramics include high elastic modulus and hardness values with high anisotropic nature, opening the door for a large range of applications.

“…size, aggregation, morphology, surface area), and hence affects their physical properties. Conventional synthetic routes to Ce-Zn oxides include high-temperature solid-state reactions, high-energy ballmilling, precipitation in micro-emulsions (Kockrick et al 2008), sol-gel syntheses (Evans 2008;Yang et al 2008), etc. Unfortunately, many of these synthetic processes are energy or chemically intensive (environmentally unfriendly), timeconsuming, multi-step and offer poor control of reaction conditions.…”

High-throughput continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis has been used as a rapid and efficient synthetic route to produce a range of crystalline nanopowders in the CeZn oxide binary system. High-resolution powder X-ray diffraction data were obtained for both as-prepared and heat-treated (850• C for 10 h in air) samples using the new robotic beamline I11, located at Diamond Light Source. The influence of the sample composition on the crystal structure and on the optical and physical properties was studied. All the nanomaterials were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometry, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and elemental analysis (via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). Initially, for 'as-prepared' Ce 1−x Zn x O y , a phasepure cerium oxide (fluorite) structure was obtained for nominal values of x = 0.1 and 0.2. Biphasic mixtures were obtained for nominal values of x in the range of 0.3-0.9 (inclusive). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the phase-pure nano-CeO 2 (x = 0) consisted of ca 3.7 nm well-defined nanoparticles. The nanomaterials produced herein generally had high surface areas (greater than 150 m 2 g −1 ) and possessed combinations of particle properties (e.g. bandgap, crystallinity, size, etc.) that were unobtainable or difficult to achieve by other more conventional synthetic methods.

“…For example, CaPO 4 -based bulk bioceramics with the reasonable mechanical properties might be prepared by means of self-setting (self-hardening) formulations (see section 5.1 below). Furthermore, the reader's attention is paid on an excellent review on various ceramic manufacturing techniques [328], in which various ceramic processing techniques are well described.…”
