Abstract

The superior mechanical alongside thermal alongside chemical characteristics of advanced ceramics make them suitable for demanding applications. At present their natural brittleness stands as the main restriction to their use. This research examines the mechanisms of enhanced toughening through microstructural design by reviewing published works and reviewing experimental outcomes. The research demonstrates the need for exact microstructural manipulations when developing ceramic materials for modern engineering needs.
