Advanced Ceramic Fibers LLC (ACF, Idaho Falls, Idaho, U.S.) has developed patented processes and materials that enable ultra-high temperature (UHT) ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and metal matrix ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Kansas State University have demonstrated a spray-on mixture of carbon nanotubes and ceramic that has unprecedented ability to ...

Ceramic fibers provide the skeletal structure of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and are major contributors to the composite's mechanical and physical properties. The network of ceramic fibers ...

Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, has a layered structure of carbon rings formed in a hexagonal lattice structure. This arrangement of carbon in two-dimension gives properties such as high thermal ...

If you've searched for any car-cleaning product over the past few years, odds are you've come across the terms "ceramic technology" or "ceramic coating." But what exactly is a ceramic coating, and how ...

Carbon ceramic brakes attract intrigue in the automotive world, but what are they? And can you experience them in something other than a supercar?

Researchers have demonstrated a spray-on mixture of carbon nanotubes and ceramic that has unprecedented ability to resist damage while absorbing laser light. Coatings that absorb as much of the energy ...
