Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

Similar to the widespread interest in “graphite” and “diamond,” there is growing interest in metastable phases, which have different physical properties than those of stable phases. However, processes ...

Feng's team from Tsinghua University has reported an innovative study on optimizing the thermoelectric performance of SnSe via liquid phase sintering.
