Record 2 2000-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Extremely fine nanoceramics which are uniform composites much smoother than the clay that potters bake may be the answer to long-standing problems in engine construction and design. They may also be used in false teeth, industrial drills, laser printers, and aircraft bodies. In short, anything that requires a super hard material that is resistant to heat and can be produced at low cost, would be a target for ceramics applications.
