Fracture energy of 6H-SiC at the microscale: effects of testing geometry and notch preparation
Zhuoqi Lucas Li, Siyang Wang, Ao Li +5
Micromechanical testing enables small-scale fracture energy measurements, but values depend strongly on geometry and specimen preparation. Here, the fracture energy of the single-c…
Strong lead-free bioinspired piezoceramics for durable energy transducers
Ruxue Yang, Temesgen Tadeyos Zate, Peiren Wang +9
Durable, high-performance and eco-friendly lead-free piezoceramics are essential for next-generation sustainable energy transducers and electromechanical systems. While significant…
Inorganic/inorganic composites through emulsion templating
Tianhui Jiang, Shitong Zhou, Yinglun Hong +3
Inorganic/inorganic composites are found in multiple applications crucial for the energy transition, from nuclear reactor to energy storage devices. Their microstructures dictate a…
Order induces toughness in anisotropic colloidal crystal composites
Victoria Vilchez, Shitong Zhou, Florian Bouville
Spatial ordering of matter elicits exotic properties sometimes absent from a material's constituents. A few highly mineralised natural materials achieve high toughness through delo…
Carbon ablators with porosity designed for enhanced aerospace thermal protection
Erik Poloni, Florian Bouville, Alexander L. Schmid +8
Porous carbon ablators offer cost-effective thermal protection for aerospace vehicles during re-entry into planetary atmospheres. However, the exploration of more distant planets r…
Design principles for textured multi-layered composites using magnetically assisted slip casting
Hortense Le Ferrand, Florian Bouville, André R. Studart
In many natural multi-layered composites, such as in the dactyl club of Stomatopods or the shell of bivalve mollusks, the defining functional and structural properties are determin…
Processing of dense bio-inspired ceramics with deliberate microtexture
Hortense Le Ferrand, Florian Bouville, André R. Studart
The architectures of biological hard materials reveal finely tailored complex assemblies of mineral crystals. Numerous recent studies associate the design of these local assemblies…
Porous silicon carbide and aluminum oxide with unidirectional open porosity as model target materials for radioisotope beam production
M. Czapski, T. Stora, Caroline Tardivat +5
New silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) of a tailor-made microstructure were produced using the ice-templating technique, which permits controlled pore formation condi…
Dispersion of Boron Nitride Powders in Aqueous Suspensions with Cellulose
Florian Bouville, Sylvain Deville
The dispersion of nitride and carbide ceramic particles in water is difficult, due to the absence of hydroxyl groups on their surface. Boron nitride is not an exception and despite…
Reply to the correspondence: "On the fracture toughness of bioinspired ceramic materials"
Florian Bouville, Eric Maire, Sylvain Meille +3
This is a reply to the correspondence of Prof. Robert Ritchie: "On the fracture toughness of bioinspired ceramic materials", submitted to Nature Materials, which discusses the frac…
Magnetically-Assisted Slip Casting of Bioinspired Heterogeneous Composites
Hortense Le Ferrand, Florian Bouville, Tobias P. Niebel +1
Composites are often made heterogeneous in nature to fulfill the functional demands imposed by the environment, but remain difficult to fabricate synthetically due to the lack of a…
Self-Assembly of Faceted Particles Triggered by a Moving Ice Front
Florian Bouville, Eric Maire, Sylvain Deville
The possibility to align and organize faceted particles in the bulk offers intriguing possibilities for the design and discovery of materials and architectures exhibiting novel fun…
Templated Grain Growth in Macroporous Materials
Florian Bouville, Etienne Portuguez, Yunfei Chang +5
We demonstrate a facile method to produce crystallographically textured, macroporous materials using a combination of modified ice templating and templated grain growth (TGG). The…
Strong, Tough and Stiff Bioinspired Ceramics from Brittle Constituents
Florian Bouville, Eric Maire, Sylvain Meille +3
High strength and high toughness are usually mutually exclusive in engineering materials. Improving the toughness of strong but brittle materials like ceramics thus relies on the i…
