A cost-effective one-step densification process based on bi-directional freeze casting was investigated to produce nacre-like alumina/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites with a unique micro-layered (μL) architecture. This method has the adva... Read More about Cost-effective fabrication of bio-inspired nacre-like composite materials with high strength and toughness.

Bi-directional freeze casting of porous alumina ceramics: A study of the effects of different processing parameters on microstructure (2018)
Journal Article
Algharaibeh, S., Ireland, A. J., & Su, B. (2019). Bi-directional freeze casting of porous alumina ceramics: A study of the effects of different processing parameters on microstructure. Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 39(2-3), 514-521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2018.09.030

Highly aligned lamellar ceramic scaffolds were produced using a bi-directional freeze casting technique. A specially designed, sloped copper mould was covered with a polymer to modulate the temperature field. Effects of different processing parameter...
