Synthesis and Sintering of High Entropy Ceramics
Complex ceramics solid solutions are currently attracting a growing scientific interest due to their unique combination of functional and mechanical properties. In particular, the entropy-driven stabilization of new phases and compositions represents a kind of new “far west for ceramurgists”: this approach allows the development of novel materials with still unexplored properties. Moreover, the presence of different cations (typically 5+) in the high entropy ceramics (HEC) structures allows a fine-tuning of their properties by tuning their composition in a multidimensional space.
Due to their complex composition, high entropy ceramics require advanced processing routes, often aided also by the development of predictive models to define their thermal stability. As such, HECs have been manufactured by various synthesis processes, including sol-gel processing, wet-chemical synthesis, spray pyrolysis, solid-state synthesis, and others. Also, various sintering processes have been applied to high entropy ceramics like SPS, flash sintering, UHS, and conventional sintering.
In this webinar, we will present some of the last results regarding the synthesis of novel high entropy rock salts, fluorites, and carbides with a specific focus also on the use of innovative processing/sintering routes.
