The effect of the addition of ceria stabilised zirconia on the creep of mullite
, Pages: 69-77, ISSN: 0196-6219Mullite is considered a promising candidate for ceramic recuperators in turbo propelled engines, due to due to its low thermal conductivity, adequate thermal shock resistance, low cost, low density, thermodynamic stability, and reasonable strength at high temperatures. Unfortunately, the limited fracture toughness of mullite (∼1.8-2.8 MPa m1/2) is considered too low. Improving the fracture toughness to 4.7 MPa m1/2 is possible by the addition of ceria stabilised zirconia (CSZ). However, the addition of CSZ to mullite may also affect other properties. In this paper the effect of the addition of CSZ on the creep resistance is described by comparing a mullite-zirconia composite made with a commercially available mullite powder against the creep behaviour of mullite made from the same mullite powder. The stress exponent is close to 1 and the activation energies for creep were similar at 426±38 kJ mol-1 and 452±15 kJ mol-1. However, the resistance to creep as expressed by a given strain rate for a given stress is 250°C lower in the 20 vol% zirconia-mullite composite compared to the baseline.

Nanoindentation of porous bulk and thin films of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δ
, Acta Materialia, Vol: 61, Pages: 5720-5734, ISSN: 1873-2453In this paper we show how reliable measurements on porous ceramic films can be made by appropriate nanoindentation experiments and analysis. Room-temperature mechanical properties of the mixed-conducting perovskite material La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δ (LSCF6428) were investigated by nanoindentation of porous bulk samples and porous films sintered at temperatures from 900 to 1200 °C. A spherical indenter was used so that the contact area was much greater than the scale of the porous microstructure. The elastic modulus of the bulk samples was found to increase from 33.8 to 174.3 GPa and hardness from 0.64 to 5.32 GPa as the porosity decreased from 45% to 5% after sintering at 900–1200 °C. Densification under the indenter was found to have little influence on the measured elastic modulus. The residual porosity in the “dense” sample was found to account for the discrepancy between the elastic moduli measured by indentation and by impulse excitation. Crack-free LSCF6428 films of acceptable surface roughness for indentation were also prepared by sintering at 900–1200 °C. Reliable measurements of the true properties of the films were obtained by data extrapolation provided that the ratio of indentation depth to film thickness was in the range 0.1–0.2. The elastic moduli of the films and bulk materials were approximately equal for a given porosity. The 3-D microstructures of films before and after indentation were characterized using focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy tomography. Finite-element modelling of the elastic deformation of the actual microstructures showed excellent agreement with the nanoindentation results.

Production of nepheline/quartz ceramics from geopolymer mortars
, Journal of the European Ceramic Society, Vol: 33, Pages: 251-258, ISSN: 1873-619XThis research has investigated the mechanical properties and microstructure of metakaolin derived geopolymer mortars containing 50% by weight of silica sand, after exposure to temperatures up to 1200 °C. The compressive strength, porosity and microstructure of the geopolymer mortar samples were not significantly affected by temperatures up to 800 °C. Nepheline (NaAlSiO4) and carnegieite (NaAlSiO4) form at 900 °C in the geopolymer phase and after exposure to 1000 °C the mortar samples were transformed into polycrystalline nepheline/quartz ceramics with relatively high compressive strength (∼275 MPa) and high Vickers hardness (∼350 HV). Between 1000 and 1200 °C the samples soften with gas evolution causing the formation of closed porosity that reduced sample density and limited the mechanical properties.

Building on Soft Foundations – New Possibilities for Controlling Hybrid Photovoltaic Architectures
, Advanced Energy MaterialsHere we outline a methodology for the deposition of a highly crystalline transparent conductive metal oxide (ZnO) onto a functionalised organic thin film poly (3-hexylthiophene, P3HT) without degradation of the microstructural, optical or electronic properties of the organic layer. To confirm the absence of damage we have assembled a simple bilayer photovoltaic (PV) device. The processing methodology has enabled us to demonstrate hybrid photovoltaic (h-PV) device formation in the conventional architecture for the first time. The compatibility of this novel low temperature processing route with π-conjugated molecular materials has tremendous potential for applications including electron accepting layers and optical spacers in organic PVs and light emitting diodes, as transparent electrodes and all future devices reliant on flexible substrates.
