TL;DR: In this article, preliminary results of studies of ceramic-metal composites Al2O3-Fe obtained via infiltration of a porous ceramic matrix are reported, and composites with a thin FeAl2O4 spinel layer, as observed in the present work, on the ceramic/metal interface, will give an opportunity to develop an interpenetrating network with a strong ceramic−metal bonding.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on Al2O3-Al composites obtained via infiltration of porous ceramics by liquid Al. This effect should be taken into consideration in designing of composites (in calculation of the amount of Al which is needed for full infiltration).

TL;DR: In this article, a new low-toxicity monomer, glycerol monoacrylate, has been synthesized and successfully used for the gelcasting of ceramic suspensions, which allows the formation of a polymer network by the monomer polymerization and cooperative hydrogen bonding without any external crosslinking agent.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of ceramic-metal composites with a gradient concentration of the metal particles fabricated by the slip casting method is presented, where the gradient concentration was achieved through their sedimentation under the action of the gravitational force and a magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new low-toxic monomer obtained from glucose is reported and its application in gelcasting process is presented and the new monomer named 3-O-acrylic-d -glucose is an interesting alternative for the commercially available acrylic monomers.
