| Abstract Scope |
There is an urgent need for materials which can be used for high performance applications like aerospace, triboactive, and biomedical applications. In this presentation, I will present some a review of the recent development in synthesis and characterization of MAX and MAB phases. As a background, MAX and MAB phases belong to a family of ternary/quaternary compounds which are bestowed with unique properties like high mechanical strength, nano-laminated microstructure, tailored hardness, high thermal and electrical conductivity, among others. |
