Mechanical Properties and Deformation Behavior of Superhard Lightweight Nanocrystalline Ceramics

Byeongyun Jeong et al.

Summary: Lightweight polycrystalline ceramics have promising physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. However, their coarse-grained structures make them brittle and low in fracture toughness. It has been discovered that nanocrystalline ceramics with soft interface phases or disordered structures can significantly enhance their mechanical properties.
