Unveiling the mechanisms of cold sintering of ZnO at 250 °C by varying applied stress and characterizing grain boundaries by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (2018, methodology): “All these studies suggest that the presence of water can, under given conditions, strongly reduce the sintering temperature of oxide powder compacts, by partial dissolution of the particles and subsequent precipitation, synthesis reaction or the diffusion of ions from the water molecules into the cr”
Cold sintering: Current status and prospects (2017, background): “The low temperatures which permit co-sintering of thermoplastics and ceramics also enable composite materials with low volume fractions of polymers that intercalate regions between well bonded ceramic grains.(19)”
Thinking the future of membranes: Perspectives for advanced and new membrane materials and manufacturing processes (2020, background): “Emerged sintering techniques such as cold sintering process have demonstrated that sintering can also take place at significantly lower temperatures [186 – 188].”
