Strong, tough and stiff bioinspired ceramics from brittle constituents
2014
The toughness of ceramic materials can be improved by introducing a polymeric or metallic ductile phase, yet most often this is at the expense of strength, stiffness and high-temperature stability. Now, a simple processing route based on widespread ceramic processing techniques is shown to produce bulk ceramics that mimic the structure of natural nacre and have a unique combination of high strength, toughness and stiffness, even at high temperatures.
