Pin art gadgetry used to make
curvy glass sheets
The southern elevation of architect
Frank Gehry’s design for the Lou Ruvo
Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas,
Nev., rises and swells in waves of steel
and glass crashing over each other as if
caught in a confluence of currents going
in opposite directions. However, close
inspection indicates that the building
actually uses flat glass windows. Gehry,
perhaps, is lucky because even with the
flat glass, the viewer’s eye lets the windows
assume the contour of the building
like a leaf would on a wave.
Still, one would suspect that Gehry
would have liked to have used the same
wave shapes in the windows. Gehry,
however, could have been dissuaded
because—heretofore—curved glass
panels have been expensive to manufacture,
and even more so when each
one is different. Until now, the typical
process of making a custom piece of
curved glass involved making a mold of
The use of flat windows risks chopping
up the desired smooth appearance
of this Gehry-designed health center.
However, scientists at the Fraunhofer
Institute have developed a novel and
economical process for bending large
sheets of glass.
▼

the shape, laying a sheet of glass on top
of it, loading the mold-glass rig into a
furnace and heating it to a temperature
where viscous flow of the glass allows
it to slump and conform to the mold’s
contour. The piece must be closely
monitored: Remove the glass too soon
and you don’t have the right shape;
wait too long and you get pressure
marks at the support points.
Gehry would probably be cheered to
know that researchers at the Fraunhofer
Institute for Mechanics of Materials
IWM in Germany have found an ingenious
way to economically produce
bent glass pieces by getting rid of the
mold, itself. In a press release, scientist
Tobias Rist says, “It’s no longer necessary
to produce a special steel mold.”
Instead of forcing a glass sheet to
conform down onto a mold, they
Fraunhofer group has found a way to
have the form fall away from the sheet
so that only the necessary parts of the
glass sink into it. The process uses an
array of pins or rods, similar to the
pin art gadgets that make impressions
of things pressed into them, such as
hands, faces, etc. A sheet of glass is
slid over the flat array and then rolled
into an already hot furnace. Once the
assembly is in the furnace, the array
is programmed to assume the desired
geometry by having the appropriate
pins retract.
In the release, Rist says, “Our process
is roughly six-times faster than the
conventional process, as well as being
considerably more energy-efficient and
cost-effective.”
He explains that energy is saved
because the furnace is held at temperatures
slightly below that at which the
glass becomes viscous. The additional
heat needed to cause viscous flow is
applied only to the spots that need
to deform. Time and more energy are
saved because the furnace can be kept

hot between pieces, and additional cost
is saved by eliminating job-specific mold
forms.
The new approach allows for more
precise control of the process. Rist says,
“While the conventional process relies a
great deal on trial and error, we simulate
the process and the material behavior
on a computer. We then compare the
outcome with the results from physical
tests so we can identify and implement
the most favorable process conditions.”
The Fraunhofer team has demonstrated
the process on sheets of glass
measuring approximately one meter
square, a size that should be big enough
for Gehry and other creative designers
to work with.

NSF releases more info on
Materials Genome Initiative
funding plans
During his plenary presentation at
MS&T’11, NSF director Subra Suresh
mentioned several times that additional
information would be forthcoming
in regard to funding opportunities for
the high-priority Materials Genome
Initiate. In particular, Suresh alerted
the audience to the imminent release
of an NSF “Dear Colleague Letter” on
the topic.
The letter, “Designing Materials
to Revolutionize and Engineer our
Future,” has now been sent out and
posted on the NSF website.
Part of the emphasis in the DMREF
letter, signed by Edward Seidel and
Thomas Peterson, for the Mathematical
and Physical Sciences and Engineering
Directorates, respectively, is a call
for developing common toolsets,
which can be used across the entire
materials discovery-to-deployment
continuum. Seidel and Peterson specifically
mention in the letter that the
NSF is looking for tools that integrate
“advanced computational methods with
data-enabled scientific discovery and
innovative experimental techniques
in such a manner as to revolutionize
American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 90, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org
NSF director Subra Suresh (above) reported
during the MS&T’11 plenary session
that the agency would be moving quickly
to get out information about MGI funding
opportunities. The Designing Materials
to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future
“Dear Colleague” letter is the first such
announcement.
our approach to materials research and
engineering.”
The overarching goal of the DMREF
program is to have multiple breakthroughs
in developing and engineering
materials to specified functions or properties
from first principles.
Some of the particular points of
interests discussed in the letter are
• “Activities that accelerate materials
discovery and development by building
the fundamental knowledge base
needed to progress towards designing
and making a material with a specific
and desired function or property from
first principles;”
• “Proposals that seek to advance
fundamental materials understanding
across length and time scales to
elucidate the effects of microstructure,
surfaces, and coatings on the properties
and performance of engineering materials.
The ultimate goal is to enable
control of material properties through
design via the establishment of the
interrelationships between constitution,
processing, structure, properties, performance
and process control;”
(Credit: Peter Wray; ACerS.)
• Bridging, collaborative research
“and iterative process where computation
guides experiments and theory,
while experiments and theory advance
computation;” and
• Designs that address the “recyclability
and sustainability of materials.”
NSF is also encouraging collaborations
with industry, national laboratories,
engineering partners or other
organizations.
Seidel and Peterson make a point
of noting that DMREF is not a standalone
program and will work sideby-side
with two other programs: the
Grant Opportunities for Academic
Liaison with Industry and the Software
Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation.
The window for submitting DMREF
proposals to the NSF is Jan. 15, 2012–
Feb. 15, 2012.

Glass floor, railing to be glistening centerpiece of
Eiffel Tower renovation
Architectural glass will be the
centerpiece of a €25 million (approximately
$35 million) renovation of
the Eiffel Tower that will be undertaken
in 2012–13. Citing obsolescence
and inefficient use, the Eiffel
Tower Operating Company (SETE),
announced a plan to redevelop the
first floor of the iconic tower. The first
floor was last renovated 30 years ago.
The tower’s first floor is 57 meters
above ground, and the renovation
will feature a glass floor, giving visitors
an unimpeded view of the tower’s
street-level plaza and making
the first floor accessible to
all. Based on architectural
renderings, it appears that
the interior section of the
level will be surrounded by
a glass-wall–railing system
and several feet of clear glass
flooring that ends at the glass
wall.
New pavilions for restau-
rants, shops, conferences and
events will be built, too. The
renovation will integrate
green building technolo-
gies, such as solar, wind and hydraulic
energy, rainwater recovery and LED
lighting.
The project’s goals are to renovate
and modernize first-floor pavilions and
public spaces; attract more visitors to
the first floor; make the space accessible
for disabled visitors; and reduce
the Eiffel Tower’s carbon footprint.
Architects for the project are
Moatti-Rivière. The 18-month project
will renovate nearly 85 percent of the
floor’s 5420-square-meter area.

Black or white? Fuel economy
may be linked to car’s color
If you’ve had the experience of
climbing into a car on a hot, sunny day,
you might have wondered whether a
light colored car would be less miserable
than a dark one. The answer is
“yes,” and a recent paper published
in Applied Energy reports how much
warmer dark cars can be. Going a step
further, the paper predicts the extent
to which car color may influence fuel
consumption and emissions.
A news release from the Lawrence
Berkeley National Lab’s Environmental
Energy Technologies Division describes
the simple, but effective experiment.
The EETD’s Heat Island Group borrowed
two Honda Civic sedans from
the State of California, attached a variety
of temperature-measuring instruments,
parked the cars in a sunny spot
of the parking lot and took data.
The only discovered difference
between the nearly identical four-door
sedans was color: one was silver, the
other black. That is, one car had a high
solar reflectance (silver) and the other
did not (black). Solar reflectance values
range from 0 to 1, and the solar reflectance
of the silver car was 0.58, while
that of the black car was 0.05. As the

Honda Civic test vehicles. The higher solar reflectance
of the solar vehicle makes it more fuel efficient
than its black cousin.
term implies, surfaces with high solar
reflectance stay cooler in the sun.
The cars were subjected to five identical
soak-cool cycles comprised of an
hour-long soak in the sun without air
conditioning followed by a 30 minute
cool down with air conditioners running
at full blast. Meanwhile, measurements
were taken of the cars’ roof, ceiling,
dashboard, windshield, seat, door,
vent air and cabin air temperatures.
During the soak (warming) phases,
researchers found that the roof temperature
of the silver car was up to 45°C
cooler than the black car’s roof. Also,
the cabin air of the silver car was about
10°F cooler.
Next, the researchers developed a
thermal model to predict how much air
conditioning capacity would be needed
meet the industry standard of bringing
the cabin temperature to 77°F within
30 minutes. The analysis predicted that
the silver car would require 13% less
AC capacity than the black car to meet
the standard. Thus, light colored cars
can be built with smaller air conditioning
units, while imparting the same
level of comfort.
Other benefits could accrue with
smaller AC units. Using a simulation
tool called ADVISOR, the researchers
modeled fuel consumption and
emissions for typical driving scenarios
including highway, city and a variable
combination of the two. The simulation
shows that using a smaller AC
unit, which a white or silver car would
allow, could increase fuel economy by
about two percent, while reducing CO 2
by about two percent and other emissions
by about one percent.

There are about 25 million
registered cars in the state of
California, so even modest
improvements in efficiency and
emissions output can result in
large energy-saving numbers.
Coincidentally, DOE’s
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy just released
a Vehicle Cost Calculator and
widget to help consumers, fleet
managers and government offi-
cials to compare energy-saving vehicles.
Although the widget does not ask for
the car’s color, it is hoped that fleet
managers will use the EETD’s research
to evaluate the value of color as they
replace their inventories.

The annual MS&T
conference in
Columbus, Ohio, this
year had a myriad of
opportunities available
for students.
The ACerS PCSA cosponsored
an industry tour of Owens Corning
Science and Technology in Granville,
Ohio, which allowed students to visit a
commercial, innovative research center
(see inset). Other activities aimed specifically
for students included the Mug
Drop Contest, Undergraduate Student
Speaking Competition, student posters,
student mixer, graduate school information
program, career forum, and a session
on networking.
MS&T gives students the chance to
interact with leaders in the field and
learn about current research in very
specific areas of interest. As Georgia
Tech grad student,Tim Pruyn, says,
“I had a great time at MS&T. Not
only was it nice to see old friends from
undergrad there, I also found all the

ceramics in the environment
Easy catch: Ion exchange traps radioisotopes in titanate-based nanofibers
The release of radioactive materials
after the recent tsunami destruction of
the Fukushima Dai-ich nuclear power
plant has reignited public awareness to
the problem of capturing nuclear waste
on a grand scale. Less dramatically, but
more common and just as important to
control, are small scale leaks from nuclear
power plants and radioactive waste
generated by medical tests and research.
Capturing and containing radioactive
stuff is no small challenge, but a
new study shows that small—nanoscale
small—may be the way to go.
Researchers at Queensland
University of Technology in Australia,
in collaboration with a group at
Pennsylvania State University, may
have found a cheap, effective, nonreversible
way of capturing radioactive
cesium and iodine wastes using
titanate-base nanofibers and nanotubes.
A multi-institution international team,
led by QUT Professor Huaiyong Zhu,
has published a paper demonstrating
that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 nanofibers and nanotubes
can effectively capture and store
Cs + and I – ions. Sodium titanate has the
advantage of being easy and economical
to synthesize through hydrothermal
processes.
Cesium isotopes can be captured by
inorganic cation exchange with materials,
such as silico-titanates, zeolites, clay
minerals, layered zirconium phosphates
and layered sulfides. These materials are
able to withstand high radiation levels
and high temperatures, and they are
blessed with a high ion-exchange capacity.
Unfortunately, the ion-exchange
process is reversible, which means radioactive
ions can be released back into
solution when exposed to water.
Sodium titanate, on the other hand,
has a layered structure where TiO 6
octahedra form the basic structural
units, with Na + ions between the layers.
The radioactive 137 Cs + isotope
is captured in a simple ion exchange.
The team compared the chemisorption
properties of two forms of sodium tita-
nate: nanofibers and
nanotubes.
As it turns out,
the nanotubes had
a greater absorptive
capacity and are able
to remove to remove
about 80 percent of
the ions from solutions
compared to
only about 36 percent
ion removal by the
nanofibers.
The difference?
During uptake, the
nanofiber morphology
is maintained,
but if enough Cs +
ions are absorbed, the
titanate layers apparently
deform. When a
large concentration of
Cs + ions is absorbed,
a phase transformation occurs and creates
microporous tunnels in the layered
structure. The diameter of the tunnels is
narrower than the diameter of the Cs +
ion, thus immobilizing the ion and rendering
the exchange irreversible.
In contrast, Cs + ion uptake by nanotubes
results in a significant change
in their aspect ratio: The nanotubes
become more squat and wide. The
layered structure of the tubes remains
(there is no mention of a phase
change), but the interlayer space
expands, which may swell the nanotubes.
Nanofibers and nanotubes absorb
I – ions through a different mechanism.
Because I – is an anion, a direct ion
exchange with sodium is impossible. By
coating sodium titanate nanofibers and
nanotubes with nanoparticles of silver
oxide (Ag 2 O), I – ions can be stuffed into
the nanofibers or nanotubes by means
of several chemical reactions involving
intermediate compounds, hydration
and dehydration. The chemistries and
crystallographies involved combine to
provide excellent absorption properties.
Professor Zhu of Queensland University of Technology
shows jars of sodium titanate nanofibers and nanotubes that
pull radioactive cesium and iodine isotopes from contaminated
water by ion exchange.
Follow-up tests showed that the leaching
rate of I – ions back into solution is very
low. Thus, Ag 2 O-coated titanate nanofibers
and nanotubes also show promise as
effective candidates for capturing radioactive
iodine.
The paper does not address disposal
of the nanofibers/nanotubes after the
ion-exchange capture is completed.
In a press release from QUT, paper
coauthor Zhu claims, “One gram of the
nanofibers can effectively purify at least
one ton of polluted water.”
If so, the material should be an easy
and cost-effective addition to the toolkits
at facilities working with or managing
radioactive wastes that contain
cesium and iodine isotopes.
In the US, Zhu collaborated with
ACerS member Sridhar Komarneni, a
professor at Penn State.
The paper is “Capture of Radioactive
Cesium and Iodide Ions from Water
Using Titanate Nanofibers and
Nanotubes,” Angewandte Chemie
International Edition (doi: 10.1002/
anie201103286).

New graphene ‘hub’ and electronics discovery create excitement in UK
In early October, the United Kingdom’s
Chancellor of the Exchequer
George Osborne announced plans by
the government to invest £50 million
(about $80 million) in a new graphenebased
R&D center. The center, to be
called the Graphene Global Research
and Technology Hub, will be located at
the University of Manchester.
The location in many ways is a tribute
to the past and ongoing work by
Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov,
who discovered graphene at the University
of Manchester in 2004 and were
awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics.
Geim and Novoselov’s pioneering
work has allowed them to attract a talented
team and stay at the forefront of
this field, where a lot of ideas for commercialization
are being brewed.
Although no timetables are being
proposed in regard to real commercialization
opportunities, Osborne, according
to a university news release, told
attendees of a Conservative Party Conference,
“…We will fund a national
research program that will take this
Nobel-prize-winning discovery from the
British laboratory to the British factory
floor. … We’re going to get Britain
making things again.”
In the same release, the university,
itself, goes on to predict, “The development
of the Hub will capitalize on
the UK’s international leadership in
the field. It will act as a catalyst to
spawn new businesses, attract global
companies and translate the value of
scientific discovery into wealth and job
creation for the UK. The center would
help develop the technology to allow
manufacture on a scale that would open
up the promising commercial opportunities,
incorporating a large doctoral
training center and advanced research
equipment.”
To be sure, there are many other graphene
research efforts, public and private,
in the UK and around the world.
Responding to the news about the
funding for the Manchester hub, a story
American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 90, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org
Noble laureates Novoselov and Geim,
left, along with Nancy Rothwell, president
and vice-chancellor of the University of
Manchester, meet with UK Science Minister
David Willetts and Osborne to discuss plans
for a new graphene-based R&D hub to be
located at the school.
at Optics.org notes, “Though it is home
to the graphene discoverers, when it
comes to future commercialization of
the technology, the UK will face stiff
competition from both competing
academic institutions and many of the
world’s largest technology companies.”
Already several big-name companies,
such as IBM, Hitachi and TDK, have
received patents for novel graphenebased
devices. But, as is usually the
case, having a patent and having a
commercial success are unrelated
events. Although there is a lot of promise,
there is still a long way to go in
fundamental research and,
at the other end of the spectrum,
basic processing and
application methods.
Given the interest and
competition, the £50 million
investment could easily
be dwarfed if not carefully
targeted. Along these lines,
the Optics.org story discusses
the views of another UK graphene
researcher, Karl Coleman
(University of Durham),
and reports, “Coleman thinks
that manufacturing ought to
be one of the priority areas
for the future technology
hub, and also points out that
graphene applications go
beyond the high-profile areas
(Credit: Univ. of Manchester.)
of electronics, displays and aerospace.
‘[We] would like to see the hub include
what we sometimes call the low-hanging
fruits, such as capacitors, conducting
inks and composites, to name just
a few, that are likely to be commercialized
much sooner,’ he said.”
On the other hand, Geim and
Novoselov do have a high-profile
electronics application in mind for
graphene: the elusive replacement for
the silicon chip. In a paper, “Tunable
Metal–Insulator Transition in Double-
Layer Graphene Heterostructures,”
recently published in Nature Physics
(doi:10.1038/nphys2114), their group
discusses the creation of double boron
nitride–graphene sandwich structures.
Essentially, these investigators transferred
a graphene monolayer to the top
of a 20- to 30- nanometer-thick BN
crystal (prepared on a silicon wafer).
The graphene was then covered with
another BN crystal and another graphene
monolayer. Both monolayers
were given multiterminal shapes, individual
electrical contacts and aligned
identically over each other.
According to the authors of the
paper, the four-layer structure for the
first time allowed the behavior of gra-

way it was impossible before. … So far
people have never seen graphene as an
insulator unless it has been purposefully
damaged, but here high-quality
graphene becomes an insulator for the
first time.”
Regarding the implications of this
work, Geim says in the same release,
“Leaving the new physics we report
aside, [so] technologically important
is our demonstration that graphene
encapsulated within BN offers the best
and most advanced platform for future
graphene electronics. It solves several
nasty issues about graphene’s stability
and quality that were hanging for a
long time as dark clouds over the future
road for graphene electronics. … We
did this on a small scale, but the experience
shows that everything with graphene
can be scaled up. … It could be
only a matter of several months before
we have encapsulated graphene transistors
with characteristics better than
previously demonstrated.”
That sounds like the type of confidence
the UK’s new graphene hub
hopes to leverage.

Superionic phosphate glass
stamp for lab-on-a-chip
manufacture
The days of having vials of blood
drawn for diagnostic testing could
become history if lab-on-a-chip technology
develops to its full potential.
LOCs are a specialized type of
micro-electromechanical system device,
comprising an array of tiny diagnostic

sensors. For example, LOCs may be
able to detect early stage cancer cells
from a single drop of blood. Other
applications of LOCs include immunoassays,
biochemical assays, polymerase
chain reactions (used for DNA
sequencing) and more. Besides reducing
blood-draw-dread, LOCs could be of
great service to health care providers in
regions that lack medical supplies and
laboratory equipment.
To fully realize the advantages of
these applications, manufacturing of
LOCs needs to be affordable and reproducible.
Existing fabrication methods,
such as electron beam lithography
and nanoimprint technology have the
disadvantages of being, respectively,
expensive and imprecise. However, a
new approach that uses a glass stamp to
replicate patterns on a substrate shows
promise as a cost-effective way to make
high-resolution patterns, which is a key
step in fabricating LOCs.
A group at MIT published a paper
in Nanotechnology describing the use of
superionic silver metaphosphate glasses
to “stamp” precise, nanoscale patterns
on silver substrates. Inspired by glassblowers
and noting that molten glass
can be molded quickly and smoothly,
Nicholas Fang says in a news release
with regard to glass molding, “[I]t works
very well at a small scale, too, at a very
high speed.”
The glass Fang studied, AgI–AgPO 3 ,
is a solid electrolyte and has a high
room-temperature ionic conductivity,
where Ag + is the mobile ion. Particles
of the low-melting composition were
melted in a small syringe at less than
200°C and pressed onto a metallic master
pattern to create a glass stamp.
Patterns were “stamped” by pressing
the glass stamp against a silver substrate
and applying a voltage above the silver
layer. The voltage stimulated ions in
the glass and silver surfaces, causing
the glass mold pattern to effectively
etch into the silver surface. The group
reports that patterns in a variety of geometric
features were stamped with resolutions
of 30 nanometers and etch rates
of up to 20 nanometers per second.
The metallic master pattern still
must be made using expensive lithographic
techniques, but glass stamps
may open the door to cost-effective
mass-production of LOCs. Fang notes
in the release that only one master pattern
and one glass stamp are needed to
produce an entire line of sensors.
The paper’s abstract also notes that
the glass has enough transparency to
overlay and integrate with existing fabrication
tooling. Fang says, “With this
stamp, I can reproduce maybe tens of
hundreds of these sensors, and each of
them will be almost identical.”

Finding the perfect ink for printing ceramic parts
Inkjet printing techniques are applied
with an increasing number of materials.
In particular, solid freeform fabrication
methods for ceramic materials have
attracted great interest in recent years.
Methods such as stereo lithography,
selective laser sintering and threedimensional
printing are used to produce
complex geometries or parts with material
gradients directly from a digital model.
The technological approach for such
production methods can be divided into
two categories: direct ceramic inkjet
printing and three-dimensional printing.
In the former, an ink containing ceramic
particles is printed onto a substrate,
and the part’s buildup is accomplished
through stacking of printed layers. In the
latter, binder solutions are printed into a
powder bed and bind the loose powder.
Now, D.A. Polsakiewicz and W. Kollenberg
at the Bonn-Rhine-Sieg University
of Applied Science in Germany
have investigated inks for application
in a piezoelectric print head with high
solid content. They prepared and characterized
alumina inks and examined
the influence of various solids loadings,
dispersant concentrations and binding
agents. Their paper appears in Materials
Science and Engineering Technology
(doi:10.1002/mawe.201100780).
Polsakiewicz and Kollenberg found
that a binary mixture of water and ethylene
glycol can serve as a that solvent
system for alumina particles and solvent
properties can be adjusted by varying
composition. As their results reveal,
viscosity as well as shear-thinning
behavior increased with raising solids
content. Rheological behavior of the
inks was not affected by small changes
in particle size or specific surface area.
However, surface tension values varied
depending on the powder used. Supplementary
experiments are necessary to
confirm and understand these results.
Moreover, further printing experiments
are essential for clarification of an
interesting assumption. The researchers
suppose that higher solids loadings also
American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 90, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org
could be possible without increasing the
viscosity. But they say attention must be
given to increasing shear-thinning characteristics
for higher solids loadings.

Does fast firing of multilayer
ceramic capacitors help or
hinder?
A group of investigators led by
Penn State University’s Clive Randall
recently published a paper, “Effect
of Firing Rates on Electrode Morphology
and Electrical Properties of
Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors” in
the Journal of the American Ceramic
Society and available via the Early
View option (doi:10.1111/j.1551-
2916.2011.04880.x).
Because of improved processing over
the past decade, the volumetric capacitance
of multilayer ceramic capacitors
has increased significantly. However,
as devices are miniaturized, their usefulness
is limited by high electrical
leakage, which can be attributed to the
morphology of the electrode–dielectric
interface and microstructural defects,
such as porosity and roughness, at the
electrode–dielectric interface.
Part of the problem on firing MLCCs
is that the barium and titanium (from
the BaTiO 3 dielectric layers) and nickel
(from the electrode layers) form a
low-melting Ba–Ti–Ni alloy that leads
to electrode instabilities. One way to
avoid the problematic alloy formation is
“fast-firing,” i.e., using very high heating
rates to reach the firing temperature.
However, even with fast firing,
the electrode interface is not perfectly
continuous and planar, which limits the
device’s performance.
Previous work had established that
differences in heating rates lead to very
different morphologies. Two batches of
MLCC were cofired at approximately
1280°C for two hours under identical
atmospheres, but at heating rates of
either 150°C per hour or 3000°C per
hour. The team used finite element
analysis to predict the outcomes.
As expected, the continuity of the
electrodes is higher for the fast-fired
batch, and measurements show that
the capacitance of the device also is
higher. Also, impedance measurements
showed that the electrode–dielectric
interface and grain boundaries contribute
to the improved resistance of
the MLCC. (However, the interface
contributes more significantly than do
the grain boundaries). The slow-fired
batch exhibited a higher concentration
of electrode defects, leading to a higher
leakage current and confirming the
group’s FEA predictions.
The group concludes that the interface
plays an important role in MLCC
performance and that electrode morphology
can be controlled to a considerable
extent by processing.

ceramics in biomedicine
Berkeley Lab, Imperial College make progress on strong glass scaffolds for bone repairs
Researchers in glass and ceramics
continue to search for materials and
fabrication techniques that can deliver
strong, well-tolerated, customizable
and, it’s hoped, inexpensive scaffolds
for bone replacement and regeneration.
The end product typically should
be something that can serve as a temporary
host for normal tissue to form
matrices (that support and encourage
cell growth, nutrient transport,
vascularization, etc.) and also can be
resorbed by the body in a planned and
therapeutic way.
And, when looking at bones, one has
to consider that not all of them function
the same way. For example, the
strength of tissue in long, load bearing
bones needs to be quite high (at least in
the axis of the length of the bone).
Along these lines, investigators at
the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
recently described some of the joint
work its Advanced Light Source facility
is doing with researchers at Imperial
College London in using a special
bioactive glass material—6P53B—and
the “robocasting” processing technique
to produce samples that are both highly
porous and strong (in the sense of compressive
strength).
Those interested in this topic typically
want to know how glass compositions
compare to the well-known 45S5
(”Bioglass”) glass material developed
by Larry Hench. The main difference is
that the 6P53B contains K 2 O and MgO
that is absent in Bioglass, and contains
more SiO 2 ; on the other hand, Bioglass
has more Na 2 O and CaO.
LBL has been working on using robocasting
of 6P53B scaffolds and doing
in-vitro testing since at least 2006.
Robocasting is a method of computercontrolled
3D deposition or “printing”
of a slurry “ink” that has glass powder
suspended in it. The computer builds
a 3D structure layer-by-layer. Several
other groups are using similar inkjet
printing-like techniques for bioimplantable
materials. Of robocasting, LBL
researchers say on the ALS website,
“This technique allows patterning and
controlled fabrication, creating the
scaffold following a computer model,
and sintering the glass into the desired
3D visualization of the sintered 6P53B glass scaffolds using the Advanced Light Source’s
synchrotron X-ray microcomputed tomography (left and top right) and a corresponding
scanning electron microscopy image (bottom right).
composition and shape. Therefore, it
is possible to design glass scaffolds with
variable degradation rates to match that
of bone growth and remodeling.”
The LBL and Imperial College groups
claim to be finding success in building
scaffolds with compressive strengths in
the range of what’s required for long,
dense bones (approximately 136 megapascals),
while retaining enough porosity
to encourage cell growth and ion
exchange. They report on their website,
“The strength of this porous glass scaffold
is approximately 100-times that of
polymer scaffolds and four to five times
that of ceramic and glass scaffolds with
comparable porosities previously reported
in the literature. The glass scaffold’s
biological performance in both small
animals (mice) and big (miniature pigs)
is currently under systematic evaluation
at the University of California, San
Francisco.”

Addition of ceramic particles,
fibers toughens polymer
cartilage candidate after
gamma exposure
Although they are somewhat light
on the details, researchers at the
Changzhou Institute of Light Industry
Technology (CIT) say they may have
found a way to address fatigue problems
associated with two materials of interest
for use as cartilage-like coating material
for joint prostheses.
Led by Maoquan Xue, the CIT
group wanted to see if they could
improve the performance of ultrahigh-molecular-weight
polyethylene
and polyetheretherketone that had an
unfortunate knack of developing fatigue
cracks. Presumably, that occurs because
the long polymer chains carry the force
from one point to the next.
They began by modifying “cartilage”
made from UHMWPE and from PEEK
by adding unspecified ceramic particles
and fibers, which alone, they say,

improved the spatial structure of the
material—but not enough to eliminate
all fatigue wear. They hit on a wellperforming
cartilage sample when they
doused the mix with a gamma radiation
burst. They says this irradiated combination
breaks the main polymer chains
without disrupting the overall structure
of the artificial cartilage. The free radicals
are recrosslinked, improving the
mechanical and tribological properties
of the materials.
According to a news release, the
group believes the irradiated cartilage
composite “could toughen up plastic
joints in joint replacement surgeries
and make them strong enough to last
for years.”
The release continues, “As a result
of the gamma burst, there is no way for
microscopic fractures to be propagated
throughout the material because there
are no long stretches of polymer.”
Xue and others in the group say the
composite has an advantage on alter-

native artificial joint coatings, such as
nylon and nonstick polymers, because
the polymers produce debris that ultimately
causes inflammation and pain.
They also believe the composite is
more “biocompatible” and may be a
good host for the of addition of bonegenerating
cells.

The fuzzy line between biology
and materials science: Using
DNA to build new materials
In an interesting twist on designing
and engineering materials, a group at
New York University led by Paul M.
Chaikin and Nadrian C. Seeman, has
demonstrated that DNA can be used to
assemble complex new materials that
are not necessarily organic.
According to a NYU news release
the NYU scientists created artificial
DNA “tile motifs,” which are short,
nanometer-scale arrangements of DNA.
In the group’s novel approach each
tile serves as a letter— say an “A” or
a “B”—that recognizes and binds to
complementary letters A’ or B’. This
parallels the natural world’s DNA replication
process, where complementary
matches between bases-adenine (A)
pairs with thymine (T) and guanine
(G) pairs with cytosine (C)—to form
its familiar double helix.
However, the NYU researchers take
the DNA a big step farther. Their tile
motif, called BTX (bent triple helix
molecules, each containing three DNA
double helices) differs from ordinary
DNA in a major feature: The BTX
code is not limited to just four letters.
In principle, the BTX motif-based code
can contain quadrillions of different
letters and tiles that combine—still in
pairs—to form a six-helix bundle.
To begin the self-replication of the
BTX tile arrays, the researchers create
a “seed” word to begin to catalyze multiple
generations of identical arrays. In
the work reported in a recent issue of
Nature (doi:10.1038/nature10500), the
NYU group used a BTX seed that consisted
of a sequence of seven tiles, or in
their terminology, a seven-letter “word.”
The self-replication process begins
with placing the seed in a chemical
solution, where it assembles complementary
tiles to form a “daughter BTX
array”— i.e., a complementary word.
The daughter array then is separated
from the seed by heating the solution to
approximately 40°C. The process then
is repeated. The daughter array binds
with its complementary tiles to form a
“granddaughter array.” It is the granddaughter
arrays that represent the self-
NYU scientists have developed artificial structures consisting of triple helix molecules
containing three DNA double helices that can self-replicate. In the above illustration, two
BTX domains are paired by two lateral connections (another two existing connections are
not shown). The cross-section view shows two of the four helices that are formed by the
lateral cohesive interactions.

replication of the material and of the
information in the “seed,” identical to
the sequence in the original seed word.
The excitement of the authors comes
through in their paper. “Considering
that DNA is a functional material that
can organize itself and other molecules
into useful structures, our findings raise
the tantalizing prospect that we may
one day be able to realize self-replicating
materials with various patterns or
useful functions,” they say.
Paul Chaikin, a physics professor and
one of the coauthors says in the news
release, “This is the first step in the process
of creating artificial self-replicating
materials of an arbitrary composition.”
Chaikin says the next step is to tune
the process so that many “generations”
of material units are replicated.
The researchers also go on to note
another feature of their method. They
say that although the variations possible
in the BTX “language” make
complex structures possible, this system
benefits from a major simplicity not
found in the replication processes that
occur within the cells: No enzymes are
required and that even the DNA can

be synthetic.
Ceramic scientists may be wellpositioned
to work with the new idea.
Biomimetic materials and self-assembled
monolayers have been studied for
a long time. Perhaps most importantly,
nature already has provided the proofof-concept
with synthesis of ceramic-
like components, such as bones, teeth,
conch shells, etc., using a DNA-dictated
process.
The group’s paper is titled, “Self-
Replication of Information-Bearing
Nanoscale Patterns.”

Simple nanoscale processes improve electrode performance in Li-ion
batteries and supercapacitors
Stanford University associate professor
of materials science and engineering
Yi Cui knows his way inside and out of
a carbon nanotube, and he’s using his
knowledge of that terrain to design new
electrodes for lithium-ion batteries and
ultracapacitors. Two papers published
in recent weeks in Nano Letters describe
the details.
The first paper describes an approach
to cathode design for Li-ion batteries
that incorporates sulfur. Sulfur is an
attractive cathode material because of
its high storage capacity at relatively
low voltage. It also is inexpensive,
abundant and nontoxic. According to
a Stanford news release, batteries with
sulfur cathodes can store four to five
times as much energy as existing Li-ion
batteries.
There have been previous cathode
designs that coated sulfur onto porous
carbon structures. However, they fail
quickly during the charge–recharge
cycle because intermediate lithium
polysulfide compounds are in contact
with the electrolyte solution and dissolve
into it. Cui’s graduate student,
Wesley Guangyuan Zheng, describes
the problem they tackled, saying, “[W]
e don’t want a large surface area contacting
the sulfur and the electrolyte,
and on the other hand we want a large
surface area for electrical and ionic
conductivities.”
The Cui team separated the sulfur
from the electrolyte by simply moving
it inside the cathode. Adapting a
commercially available water filtration
process, they coated the interior of
CNTs with sulfur. The new design prevents
polysulfides from leaking into the
electrolyte solution, while still allowing
easy transport of Li ions through the
CNT wall. Tests showed a high specific
capacity after 150 charge–discharge
cycles. In the same paper, they reported
improved coulumbic efficiency gained
by adding LiNO 3 to the electrolyte.
American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 90, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org
Cui’s second paper also investigates
electrode efficiency, in this case
one made with manganese dioxide, a
promising material for supercapacitors
(also called ultracapacitors) because of
its high theoretical specific capacity,
low cost and nontoxicity. However,
although MnO 2 is blessed with a high
charge storage capacity, it has low electrical
and ionic conductivity, so getting
the charge in or out quickly is a barrier.

hollow carbon nanofiber-encapsulated
sulfur tubes, at the heart of a new battery
design.
To improve the conductivity of the
electrode at its surface, two conductive
coatings were investigated: carbon
nanotubes and a conductive polymer.
Coatings were applied by dipping a
graphene-MnO 2 nanostructured composite
electrode into a solution of the
coatings.
Both coatings increased electrode
conductivity, and therefore capacitance.
The specific capacitance of the
CNT-coated electrode increased by 25
percent and that of the polymer-coated
electrode increased by 45 percent. The
paper also reports that the coated electrodes,
which the authors describe as
ternary composites, delivered superior
cycling performance, retaining more
than 95 percent of their capacitance
after more than 3000 cycles.

Optimizing YBCO superconductor
magnet design
Twenty-five years after their
discovery, high-temperature super- conductors
are starting to be used in applications.
Since the beginning, much
attention has focused on the ytrrium
barium copper oxide family of superconductors,
and they are starting to be
used in some systems. But, basic physics
still presents a few obstacles.
One of them is the issue of “quenching,”
which is the sudden loss of the
superconductive property. Quenching
can be catastrophic because the sudden
release of stored electricity can destroy
systems. Quench protection is designed
into most superconducting magnet
systems, but quench onset must be
detected early enough for the protection
mechanism to react effectively.
A difficulty yet to overcome with
YBCO materials is that the “normalzone
propagation velocity” is slow.
The implications of this are that the
property changes that signal the start of
quench, such as voltage and temperature,
are too small to detect.
Complicating the obstacles provided
by physics alone, is the challenge facing
system designers to develop products
based on the properties of existing
materials. Device configuration can
influence the quench properties, but to
what extent has not been clear.
A recent paper by Wan Kan Chan
and Justin Schwartz at North Carolina
State University introduces a way of
looking at how device geometry and
material selection affect the properties
of a YBCO superconductor. In the news
release, Schwartz says, “This approach
moves us closer to the ideal of having

developed at North Carolina State University helps optimize superconductor
geometry and properties.
materials engineering become part of
the product design process.”
In an earlier paper—actually Part
I of a two-part series, with the abovementioned
paper serving as Part II—the
authors introduced a model to simulate
quench propagation in micrometerscale,
mixed-dimension commercial
tapes. (“Mixed dimension” refers to the
varying dimensions of the individual
constituent layers in a commercial
superconductor tape. A typical tape is
comprised of a bottom layer, substrate,
buffer layer, YBCO and, lastly, a silver
layer, all of which is encased in a stabilizer.
Each constituent contributes to
the device performance and needs to
be modeled accordingly.) In the Part I
paper, the authors were able to demonstrate
the validity of the model based
on previously published results.
With a valid model in hand, the
authors studied how device configuration
and material selection affect
quench behavior, that is, to understand
the trade-offs in HTS magnet design.
The authors used their model to
evaluate systematically seven variations
of magnet design. The parameters they
varied included the thicknesses of the
YBCO and copper stabilizer, the material
used for the substrate and stabilizer
and the conductivities of the silver and
buffer layers.
They say in the paper that the
simulations show “quench behavior is
very sensitive to changes in the thickness
and the electrical conductivity of
the stabilizer.” Also, the normal-zone
propagation velocity—the key property
for quench detection—is very sensitive
to YBCO thickness. The substrate
material also exerts considerable influence,
with a tradeoff occurring between
quench behavior and mechanical properties.
In conclusion the authors state, “The
benefit of the approach developed here
is that one can identify parameters for
which relative impacts on these three
key quench parameters can be optimized.
… Ultimately, however, this can
be incorporated into a multivariable,
multiobjective design optimization process
that can vary more than one parameter
and also consider other aspects of
magnet optimization based on the mission
of the magnet in question.”
This paper contains many of the
features discussed as part of the new
Materials Genome Initiative. Schwartz
says, “The focus of [the MGI] initiative
is to expedite the process that translates
new discoveries in materials science
into commercial products—and I think
our process is an important step.”

Tape casting of ITO for electroluminescent
devices
Transparent conducting oxides are
used for applications such as flat panel
displays, solar cells and touch panels.
Commercial composition is tin-doped
indium oxide, or indium tin oxide.
ITO films are usually made by sputtering
or physical vapor deposition.
However, the Andreas Roosen group at
the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg
is investigating a well-established forming
technique—tape casting—for ITO
fabrication. Tape casting is economical,
scalable and is a proven way to fabricate
other multilayer devices.
The Roosen group made ITO slurries
with varying ITO particle loads and
amounts of binders, plasticizers, etc.
Slurries were also prepared of the other
functional layers (ZnS:Cu, BaTiO 3
and silver). ITO tapes were cast using
a fixed casting head with two doctor
blades onto a silicon-coated PET carrier
tape. The group made several thicknesses
and the green tapes were very
flexible because of the binder and plasticizer
contents. Binders were burned
out, but the tapes were not fired.
Then these investigators fabricated
electroluminescent lamps—a “luminescent
capacitor” —by laminating the
layers in the stack in a uniaxial hot
press. The optical transmission of the
device was 60-70 percent, dependent
on the thickness of the ITO layer. The
electrical conductivity is dependent on
the ratio of ITO to organic additives.
The authors conclude, “Bright electroluminescence
of the lamps could
be observed even under bending, thus
proving the functionality and applicability
of the ITO tapes manufactured in
the unfired state.”

American Ceramic Society paper:

Electronic Materials and Applications 2012 will focus on
electronic ceramics for energy generation, conversion and
storage applications. It will bring together leaders and experts
in the field to address the related material challenges. Jointly
programmed by the Electronics Division and Basic Science
Division of ACerS, the meeting is designed for materials
scientists, engineers, students, researchers and manufacturers
with an interest in renewable energy, innovative hybrid and
all-electric transportation development, electrical ceramics and
advanced microelectronics.
The technical program will include invited lectures, contributed
papers, poster presentations, round tables on emerging topics,
plus a symposium led by the ACerS President’s Council of
Student Advisors featuring student research.
Because of increased investment in renewable energy, “smart
grid” technologies, all-electric vehicles and innovative hybrid
transportation development, electronic ceramics are positioned
as the key enabler of these technologies. There also is
continued interest in energy harvesting, integrated sensors,
bio-inspired vehicles and systems, where advanced functional
microelectronics, integrated electrical ceramics and composites
will play a key role. EMA 2012 aims to present information
about the current state-of-the-art in applications of these materials,
the fundamental science of materials processing and the
advanced methods of materials integration.
See you in Orlando!

Lower costs and improve
your Ceramic Glaze and
Body Formulations with
In Natural and Frit Glaze Suspensions:
• Acti-Gel ® 208 greatly improves
adhesive strength by >80%
which helps to reduce surface
defects and glaze chipping
from handling and shipping.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 eliminates other
mineral thickeners and
reduces cellulose ethers in
glaze formulations.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 should be used
without Phosphates
Dispersants such as SHMP or
STPP which chelate excess
ions thereby de-activating
Acti-Gel ® 208.
• By using Acti-Gel ® 208 to
reduce Cellulose Ethers and
eliminate Phosphate
Dispersants, the negative
effects of Sodium are greatly
In Ceramic Body Formulations:
• Acti-Gel ® 208 is an excellent flow aid, binder and reinforcing
agent in extrusion and dry press applications.
Acti-Gel ® 208 features and benefits:
• Lowers Formulation Costs!
• Increases adhesion strength!
• Dewaters Rapidly!
• Allows more efficient use and
faster batch addition times.
• Excellent Anti-Settling and
Anti-Sag properties.
• Low yield point of gel
structures allows for quick,
easy flow under shear
conditions.
reduced, allowing for increased
adhesion strengths and
reduced surface defects.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 allows the glaze
to dry rapidly without cracking.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 is added directly
to the mill for ease of
dispersion and for ease of
glaze removal from ball mill.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 based glazes are
highly stable and can sit,
without settling or hardpacking,
for >30 days.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 works efficiently
in Suspensions from 25% to
80% solids.
• Acti-Gel ® 208 contains no
sulphates
• Ultra fine particle size gives
excellent performance in
spray and curtain coating
applications.
• Reduces extrusion pressures
and improves forming and
green strength.
• Very low free crystalline silica
(less than 1%), Grit Free.
• Low free Moisture: Typical is
5%-8% FM.
