abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Ceramic materials are valued for their exceptional heat and corrosion resistance, yet their inherent brittleness limits their use in applications requiring high strength‐to‐weight ratios, fatigue resistance, and durability under harsh conditions, such as those in the aerospace and automotive industries. The development of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), incorporating continuous reinforcements, has enhanced the mechanical performance of ceramics, offering superior toughness compared to randomly oriented composites. Traditional fabrication methods for composites, such as polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI), are effective but constrained by shaping complexities. Direct ink writing (DIW) has emerged as a fabrication approach for CMCs fabrication, enabling custom geometries and tailored reinforcement architectures. Extrusion‐based processes naturally align fibers, optimizing their orientation and enhancing composite properties. This study focuses on the fabrication of silicon oxycarbide matrix reinforced with continuous carbon fibers using two DIW approaches. Comparative analysis highlighted the benefits and limitations of each method, with post‐processing via PIP addressing crack formation and improving densification. Mechanical properties were evaluated at different fabrication stages, revealing key relationships between processing techniques and final composite performance.</jats:p>},

abstract = {Material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing, while effective for many applications, faces challenges in fabricating arch shapes and suspended structures. This study advances MEX technology by drawing inspiration from ancient bridge construction techniques like the Zhaozhou Bridge, using an innovative embedded material extrusion (EMEX) method that eliminates the need for additional support structures in fabricating complex short carbon fiber reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites (Csf/SiC CMCs). Utilizing solid powders as a supporting medium, EMEX enables the creation of intricate arch shapes and suspension structures, overcoming limitations associated with conventional MEX. The impact of supporting media (SiC powders and sugar) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was demonstrated. Residual SiC powders caused uneven material distribution, while residual sugar led to cracking. The presence of residual powders also influenced the shrinkage behavior and bending strength of the Csf/SiC CMCs, with a notable decrease observed when transitioning from air to SiC powders and then to sugar as the printing environment. The successful fabrication of Csf/SiC CMCs with complex geometries using EMEX indicates its potential as a promising supportless strategy for producing sophisticated CMC structures.},

abstract = {Abstract Silicones added with nano-sized alumina particles are already known as starting materials for phase pure mullite ceramics, synthesized at quite low temperatures. The present paper deals with a fundamental upgrade, based on a novel suspension-emulsion concept, for the easy fabrication of highly porous lattice structures. An aqueous suspension of γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles in water was first distributed as emulsion within an “oily phase,” consisting of a silicone/acrylates blend, with the help of a surfactant. The mixture was later employed to fabricate highly porous structures (∼80% open porosity), by direct ink writing, that is, an extrusion-based 3D printing technology requiring specific rheological behavior of the feedstock ink. Finally, the structures were rapidly stabilized through a photo-polymerization step (configuring a form of “hybrid” direct ink writing). The presence of water also allowed the application of a freeze-curing procedure, for a second series of samples. The abundant water vapor release from the starting mixtures, upon firing (up to 1300°C), led to structures with enhanced pore interconnectivity. The freeze-curing protocol proved beneficial to the homogeneity of pore distribution and to the achievement of high strength-to-density ratios.},

abstract = {Abstract Geopolymers (GP) represent a promising class of inorganic materials with diverse applications due to their properties, including high temperature resistance and strong interfacial bonding ability. They are produced through alkali activation of aluminosilicate sources, such as metakaolin or fly ashes. Despite their attractive characteristics, conventional casting methods for GP production often result in prolonged curing times and inferior mechanical properties to OPC or other benchmark materials. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of rapidly densifying GP matrices using cold sintering technology (CSP), a novel approach previously employed in ceramic systems. Through CSP, it was possible to obtain a dense body starting from GP sodium-based powder with optimal moisture content (10% wt.) under mild isostatic pressure (70 MPa) and moderate temperature (150°C) conditions, with a short duration process (10 min). The resulting products exhibited chemical stability (high resistance to boiling test), high density (> 90% theoretical density) and good mechanical properties (flexural strength equal to 30 MPa and compressive strength over 200 MPa) without requiring additional thermal treatments. SEM, EDS and NMR studies indicated that the predominant densification mechanism was likely to be homogeneous dissolutions and precipitation of the material, consistent with pressure solution creep. Dilatometric tests were performed to track the densification process in real-time and to determine the activation energy, which revealed an exceptionally low value for the system (21.7 kJ/mol). Our results demonstrate the potential of CSP as a rapid and efficient method for producing high-quality GP-based components, paving the way for their broader application in various fields.},

abstract = {Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is widely used for ceramic prototyping due to its compatibility with low-cost, custom-made printers designed for polymers. However, the bottleneck of the whole process lies in the slow thermal debinding and sintering that are usually employed to obtain dense and defect-free ceramics. In this study, a filament with ~79wt.% alumina powder in a thermoplastic binder was used to print gyroid structures with nozzle diameters of 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8mm. The components were at first partially solvent-debinded (acetone) and thereafter thermally debinded and consolidated in a single step (60s) by ultra-fast high-temperature sintering. Samples printed with a 0.4mm nozzle diameter resisted the ultra-rapid heating (UHS) and cooling rates (~103K/min), whereas some defects appear when considering larger nozzle size. On the other hand, all samples either cracked or shattered into pieces when fast-fired in air, highlighting the relevance of the thermal debinding atmosphere. Moreover, the densification upon UHS was largely improved compared to conventional sintering while retaining a finer grain size. This work provides a guideline for the rapid debinding and firing of fused filament fabricated ceramics and could be easily extended to other ceramic systems.},

abstract = {Piezoelectric ceramics are extensively used in several engineering applications in the field of sensors, actuators, energy harvesting, biomedical, and many more. Traditional ways of manufacturing piezoelectric devices result in better piezoelectric/ferroelectric performance. However, they are restricted to only simple shapes. With the widespread influence of additive manufacturing (AM), it is now possible to fabricate complex structures which were not possible by conventional technologies. In order to fabricate such complex structures with precision, it is necessary to understand in detail the factors influencing the feedstock preparation and the challenges associated with different AM technologies. With an emphasis on the most commonly used AM techniques (direct ink writing, fused filament fabrication, vat photopolymerization, binder jetting, and selective laser sintering) for fabricating ceramic parts, this review paper intends to provide a deep insight into the factors affecting the feedstock preparation as well as post-processing conditions required to develop a high-performance piezoelectric device. The summarized tables detailing the various piezoelectric ceramic compositions and additives or ingredients used in formulating a printable feedstock, along with the optimum printing and post-processing conditions, will aid the readers in developing their own printable formulations and determining the best post-processing parameters to achieve the best performance out of the fabricated piezoelectric device. The advantages and disadvantages of the AM technologies are analyzed with specific reference to piezoceramic materials and the remaining challenges that require further research are emphasized. Furthermore, with the ongoing and continuous developments in additive manufacturing of piezoelectric materials, it is expected that such advancements will progressively transition towards commercialization, with the ultimate goal of widely incorporating additively manufactured devices into practical applications.},

However, defects induced by the layer‐by‐layer approach on which traditional AM techniques are based still constitute a challenge to address. This study presents the volumetric AM of a SiOC ceramic from a preceramic polymer using xolography, a linear volumetric AM process that allows to avoid the staircase effect typical of other vat photopolymerization techniques. Besides optimizing the trade‐off between preceramic polymer content and transmittance, a pore generator is introduced to create transient channels for gas release before decomposition of the organic constituents and moieties, resulting in crack‐free solid ceramic structures even at low ceramic yield. Formulation optimization alleviated sinking of printed parts during printing and prevented shape distortion. Complex solid and porous ceramic structures with a smooth surface and sharp features are fabricated under the optimized parameters. This work provides a new method for the AM of ceramics at µm/mm scale with high surface quality and large geometry variety in an efficient way, opening the possibility for applications in fields such as micromechanical systems and microelectronic components.},

NH3-SCR tests, carried out on both monolithic and powdered samples in the temperature range of 70–550 °C, showed that composite monoliths provided very good activity, and that the intrinsic activity of SSZ-13 was enhanced by the hierarchical structure of the composite material.},
