Ceramic textiles, improved jet engine blades, 3-D printed ceramics and better batteries may soon become a reality, thanks to a recently patented polymer from a Kansas State University engineer. Using ...

Gang Shao's group from Zhengzhou University, China recently investigated the structural evolution of pentagonal polymer-derived SiAlBCN ceramics (PDCs) and outlined PDC-based sensor technology for ...

Smooth and dense SiHfBCN ceramic coating via the PDC approach was fabricated successfully and the performance was systematically studied. The composition shows interesting microstructural evolution ...

Metal and ceramic components are essential due to their specific properties, including hardness, thermal and electrical conductivity, high temperature, and corrosion resistance. Among the available ...

CSIRO Manufacturing and Materials Technology, through its spin-off company Ceram Polymerik (Waverley Gardens, Australia), has commercialized what it claims to be the first polymer that in a blaze will ...

Ceramic coating is a protective measure used in car detailing. In some ways, it’s effectively replaced trusty old carnauba wax and polymer sealants as the go-to post-cleaning protectant. At a pro ...

Some watches become legends because they perfectly embody their era. Others, more rarely, because they help shape the future.

Using five ingredients — silicon, boron, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen — an engineer has created a liquid polymer that can transform into a ceramic with valuable thermal, optical and electronic ...
