Sintering of nanocrystalline materials: Sintering parameters
Nanostructured materials (NsM) are typical materials with structural length scales of one, two, or three dimensions in the range of 1-100 nm. In the development of NsM, the microstructure of a material, which is an integral factor in determining the intrinsic performance of a material, is susceptible to changes that may hinder the desired nano-state ...
