TL;DR: In this article, a template-less and surfactant-free aqueous method is proposed to generate metal oxide thin films with controlled complexity. But the synthesis involves a templateless and a surfactent-free approach, which enables the generation of, at large-scale, low-cost, and moderate temperatures, advanced metal oxide particle-to-particle thin films.
Abstract: A novel approach to the rational fabrication of smart and functional metal oxide particulate thin films and coatings is demonstrated on the growth of ZnO nanowires and oriented nanorod arrays The synthesis involves a template-less and surfactant-free aqueous method, which enables the generation of, at large-scale, low-cost, and moderate temperatures, advanced metal oxide thin films with controlled complexity The strategy consists of monitoring of the nucleation, growth, and aging processes by means of chemical and electrostatic control of the interfacial free energy It enables the control of the size of nano-, meso-, and microcrystallites, their surface morphology, orientations onto various substrates, and crystal structure

TL;DR: In this paper, intergranular nanocomposites were found to have two to five times higher toughness and strength at room temperature than those of monolithic materials, and the hardness, toughness, strength and fracture resistance for creep and fatigue at high temperatures as well as the thermal shock fracture resistance were also strongly improved for these composites.
Abstract: Ceramic nanocomposites can be divided into three categories: intergranular nanocomposite, intergranular nanocomposite and nano/nano composite. The intra- and intergranular nanocomposites were found to show the two to five times higher toughness and strength at room temperature than those of monolithic materials. The hardness, toughness, strength and fracture resistance for creep and fatigue at high temperatures as well as the thermal shock fracture resistance were also strongly improved for these composites. On the other hand, the new function such as machinability and superplasticity was observed for the nano/nano composites. The fabrication processes of these nanocomposites by sintering methods, micro and nanostructure observations, improvements of mechanical properties were reviewed and the roles of the nano-size dispersoids were discussed. Finally the new approach on structural materials design will be given.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of carbon particle called carbon nano-horn was found, which is composed of an aggregate of many horn-shaped sheaths of single-walled graphene sheets, which can be produced at about 10 g/h.
