PRINTEG - Advanced manufacturing for low-cost Thermo-electric device fabricationFunding source: E.P.S.R.C.Start: 01-09-2013 / End: 31-08-2015 For an automotive combustion engine only 35% of the energy produced is harnessed for motive power, with 65% of the energy being effectively 'lost' to the environment - 25% of that lost energy is transferred into the exhaust gases. For a typical 100hp (75kW) engine, the waste heat energy is ... |

Super High Curie Point Piezoelectric CeramicsHigh-temperature piezoelectric sensing technology is of major importance to the chemical and material processing, automotive, aerospace, and power generating industries. Ferroelectrics are desirable for piezoelectric application below their Curie points. Ferroelectric polycrystalline ceramics have the advantages over… |
Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)Ceramics are normally processed by the consolidation of powders by sintering at high temperatures. The time required for this process is usually measured in hours because of the slow rate of heating/cooling of the furnaces used. Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), as it is commonly referred to, is a rapid sintering process, where the… |
NanoceramicsThere is currently a great interest in size effects in materials. There are many properties that change dramatically when the grain size or component dimensions are below 100 nm. A wide range of nanoscale ceramic powders have been synthesised with dimensions in the nanometre range. However, during conventional sintering the… |
Lead-free piezoelectricsLead oxide based ferroelectrics, represented by lead zirconate titanate (PZT), are the most widely used materials for piezoelectric actuators, sensors and transducers due to their excellent piezoelectric properties when their compositions are close to morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). PZT contains more than 60 wt% lead, which… |
Carbon Nanotube - Ceramic CompositesUsing Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is is possible to process new composites, with new windows of properties, that were previously not possible to fabricate using conventional processing routes, non-equilibrium composites. When two non-equilibrium phases are processed by conventional sintering they react to form the equilibrium… |
