Advanced materials obtained by Spark Plasma Sintering

New functional material: spark plasma sintered Si/SiO2 nanoparticles – fabrication and properties

“…The overwhelming majority of silicon light-emitting nanostructures is based on thin-lm technology. [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] The thickness of the emitting region does not usually exceed tens of nanometers. The spark plasma sintering technique allows the fabrication of bulk nanostructured samples from which one would expect much higher luminescence intensity.…”

“…The details of the spark plasma sintering method can be found elsewhere. 27 Hydrostatic weighing of the fabricated sample showed that it was highly porous with a density of $0.46 of the density of bulk monocrystalline silicon.…”

A Study on the Effect of Ultrafine SiC Additions on Corrosion and Wear Performance of Alumina-Silicon Carbide Composite Material Produced by SPS Sintering

“…Ceramics can be manufactured using traditional methods such as sintering, hot or cold pressing, and slip casting. A new cost-effective ceramic production method, spark plasma sintering (SPS), is of interest [14][15][16][17]. SPS makes use of direct pulsed current and uniaxial pressure to consolidate different nanocomposite materials [18].…”

Microstructure and phase composition of steatite ceramics sintered by traditional and spark plasma sintering

“…SPS is a method for powder processing which is characterized by application of pulsed direct electric current and uniaxial pressure during sintering enabling a high-speed compaction [21]. It is highly efficient and applicable in the production of nano-materials, composites, dense solid materials, electronic materials, and biomaterials [22][23][24][25]. The SPS method has several advantages that distinguish it from the traditional sintering methods such as hot pressing and sintering of pre-compacted Tab.ts.…”
