Tribo-driven evolution of specific nano-heterostructures to achieve exceptional wear resistance in composites

This materials science study investigated wear behavior in a NiAlTa/cBN composite produced by spark plasma sintering, finding that tribologically driven formation of specific nano-heterostructures in the wear surface produced an extremely low wear rate and reduced friction coefficient.

A comprehensive study on the fire resistance properties of ultra-fine ceramic waste-filled high alkaline white cement paste composites for progressing towards sustainability

Researchers partially replaced white cement with ultra-fine ceramic waste particles to create construction composites with improved durability, lower porosity, and better resistance to heat, while also reducing manufacturing costs and the environmental footprint of cement production. The results suggest that waste ceramic materials can serve as a sustainable additive to improve the performance of building materials.

In Situ Synthesis and Wide-Temperature Tribological Properties of Biphasic Structure High-Entropy (Mg1/6Ni1/6Co1/6Cu1/6Zn1/6Al1/6)3O4 Ceramics

Researchers developed biphasic high-entropy oxide ceramics with a rock-salt/spinel structure via in-situ synthesis of alumina as a secondary phase, achieving Vickers hardness of 802 Hv and an ultralow coefficient of friction of 0.07 with minimal wear rate at 300°C. The biphasic strategy overcame the mechanical-tribological optimisation bottleneck of single-phase high-entropy oxide ceramics, demonstrating potential for wide-temperature lubricant material applications.
