Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon black were added to alumina to convert it into a good electrical conductor. Alumina-CNT and alumina-carbon black nanocomposites were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). The electrical conductivity of alumina-CNT nanocomposites was found to be four times hig

The spark plasma sintering (SPS), also known as plasma activated sintering, is a method applicable for rapid sintering of metals and ceramics. The technique is thought of a type of rapid hot pressing, implying that the application of a uniaxial pressure is essential for enhanced densification kineti
Commercial alumina powder was densified by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1150 • C. During SPS processing, the effects of the heating rate were examined on microstructure and transparency. With decreasing heating rate, the grain size and the residual porosity decreased, while the transparency incre
Monophasic mullite precursors with composition of 3Al 2 O 3 •2SiO 2 (3:2) were synthesized and then were sintered by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) to form transparent mullite ceramics. The precursor powders were calcined at 1100 • C for 2 h. The sintering was carried out by heating the sample to 1450
