Ceramics are ideally suited for high temperature applications but suffer from poor toughness.
Our approach uses graphene platelets gpl that are homogeneously dispersed with silicon nitride particles and densified at 1650 c using spark plasma sintering.

Toughening in ceramics containing graphene fillers 1.
Two types of si 3 n 4 composites containing graphene nanostructures using two different.
The resulting cage like graphene structures that encapsulate the individual grains were observed to deflect propagating cracks in not just two but three dimensions.
Most of the works on ceramic composites with graphene fillers deal with two types of ceramics namely.
