Nanocomposites Through Cold Sintering: Designing the Intergranular Boundaries of Ceramics
Abstract
Cold Sintering offers a new processing method that permits the sintering of powders into dense strong materials at extremely low temperatures. The process involves a chemo-mechanical driving force that enables dissolution, transport,and precipitation to enable the densification of the powders. Typically, in powdered ceramics and metal materials this requires high temperature to densify the materials and as an approximate guide this is 50 to 80 percent of the melting temperature of the given materials. With cold sintering this can be as low as 10 percent of the melting temperature and thereby has an immediate attraction as a new strategy in sustainable production of materials. However, the focus of this study was to build upon the advantages of processing at such low temperatures.
