TL;DR: In this paper, carbon nanotube reinforced ceramic composites were synthesized by using recently developed polymer-derived ceramics as matrices, and significant increases in mechanical and thermal properties were observed by adding only 6vol% nanotubes.

TL;DR: The elastic modulus of B19' shape-memory NiTi was determined using three techniques; from the response of lattice planes measured using in situ neutron diffraction during loading, instrumented indentation using a spherical indenter and macroscopic extensometry.

TL;DR: In this article, the principal component (PC) representation of rotationally invariant 2-point spatial correlations can adequately capture the salient features of the microstructure evolution in the thermal aging of the superalloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel spherical microindentation technique is applied to evaluate a library of scoop samples ranging between 0 and 99,000h of service, and microstructure and yield strength data for the different exposure periods are used to construct a structure-property (S-P) linkage using the MKS homogenization approach that employs spatial correlations, principal component analysis, and regression techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) revealed the retention of nanostructures at the select process conditions and correlated with the enhanced mechanical properties of the nanocomposite.
