Sol-Gel Synthesis of the V2PC MAX Phase
Background Sol-gel chemistry is a well-known technique that allows for shape processability of target phases, and can be used for the formation of metal oxide and ceramic nanoparticles. Sol-gel chemistry involves dispersing metal ions that are derived from water soluble precursor salts throughout a semi-solid matrix. This allows for assured homogeneity...

Production of MAX Phase Cr2GaC Thick Films, Microspheres, and Hollow Microspheres
­Background MAX phases are ternary carbides and nitrides with unique combinations of ceramic properties (e.g., resistance to high temperature, fatigue, and damage) and metallic properties (e.g., high electrical and thermal conductivity). They can be used, for example, as coatings for electronics operating under extreme conditions. Synthesis of MAX...
