TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the kinetics of reaction, densification and grain growth for nano-powders using spark plasma sintering (SPS) and showed that the results are correlated with the microstructural features of these samples, e.g., the grain sizes present in the compacts.

TL;DR: In this article, a superplastic-deformation-induced directional dynamic ripening was used to align grain alignment in Bi4Ti3O12 ceramics by super-plastic deformation induced directional dynamic ripping.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the possibility to utilize the benefit gained from nano-structure to produce complex shaped ceramic components by superplastic forming and then converting the ductile nano-sized structure into a rigid in situ reinforced microstructure by post annealing above T g.

TL;DR: Spark Plasma Sintering Behavior of nano-sized (Ba, Sr)TiO3 powders: determination of sintering parameters yielding nanostructured ceramics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the soft-phonon branch curvature from inelastic neutron data and Landau theory to fit the dielectric, infrared reflectivity and Raman measurements of the SrTiO3 ceramic with the average grain size of 150nm processed by spark-plasma sintering.
