Structure and stoichiometry of boron carbides synthesised by microwave heating
A key focus in industrial processing is finding greener routes to well-established, high performance materials. Boron carbide is such a material, with excellent mechanical and... -
Ultra-rapid microwave materials synthesis: in-situ and ex-situ studies of ter...
The proposal consists of two parts. Firstly, we will undertake an ambient temperature ex-situ PND study of some new ternary transition metal carbide phases that have been... -
Transition metal carbides via novel, ultrafast microwave synthesis; Reaction ...
We are investigating the ultra-rapid synthesis of transition metal carbides using microwave (MW) irradiation. Currently we are establishing an understanding of these reactions...
