Nacre-like alumina with unique high strain rate capabilities

Nacre-like alumina manufactured using spark plasma sintering shows a strikingly different mechanical behaviour compared to conventional alumina. A range of sintering conditions were applied to micron-sized alumina platelet powders to form alumina with different nacre-like microstructures, density, g...
