| Abstract Scope |
Colloidal processing is widely recognized as a powerful approach to produce a broad variety of ceramics and ceramic-based composites for either structural or functional applications. One of the most important features of colloidal processing is its feasibility to design nanostructured materials with tailored microstructures and complex microarchitectures. This can be achieved through a suitable selection of synthesis routes and shaping techniques by optimizing the rheological properties of the suspensions in combination sometimes with fast sintering techniques in order to reach high denisficaties and to preserve the nanostructure. In this talk some examples of the feasibility of colloidal processing in the manufacture of laminates and nanostructured composites are shown, such as the manufacture of multilayer composites designed by combination of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic lead-free phases and the optimization of fuel cell components, emphasizing the direct effect of rheological properties on the mcrostructural features of the sintered materials. |
