On the project

The primary aim of the project is the study of the densification mechanisms during rapid rate sintering of advanced ceramic materials in a specially designed pressure-less furnace. Sequential sintering of ceramic bodies will result in densification curves, grain size and pore size evolution. Based on gained knowledge, densification theory will be proposed and the most optimal annealing and sintering conditions will be chosen in order to prepare relatively large, dense, non-defective and fine-grained ceramics.
