In an era dominated by advanced alloys, composites, and nanostructured materials, molybdenum (Mo) continues to occupy a critical position among refractory metals. Despite being discovered over two centuries ago, molybdenum remains indispensable in modern industry…
(read more) Why the Production Route Defines TEPA-rGO Performance In functional carbon materials, performance is not determined by composition alone, but by how that composition is created. This is especially true for amine-enriched reduced graphene oxide (TEPA-rGO),…
(read more) Introduction: Why Functionalized Graphene Matters More Than Ever Graphene and its derivatives have redefined how scientists and engineers think about carbon-based materials. Among these derivatives, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) occupies a special position because it…
(read more) Introduction: Why Cr₂AlC Deserves Special Attention Among MAX Phases In advanced materials science, there are very few material families that genuinely challenge the traditional boundary between metals and ceramics. MAX phases belong to this rare…
(read more)Introduction: Why Scaling Boron Powders Is Harder Than It Looks In advanced materials development, success in the laboratory is only the beginning. Many materials that perform exceptionally well at gram- or kilogram-scale fail when pushed…
(read more)Introduction: Why Boron Is Re-Emerging as a Strategic Energy Material The global transition toward electrification, renewable energy, and advanced energy storage has triggered an intense search for materials that can deliver higher energy density, faster…
(read more)Introduction: Why “Amorphous Boron” Alone Is Not a Specification In advanced materials engineering, buying the right powder is often more critical than owning the most advanced furnace or processing equipment. This is especially true for…
(read more) Introduction: Why Sintering Efficiency Begins with Powder Design In powder-based manufacturing routes—whether powder metallurgy, advanced ceramics, or additive manufacturing—sintering is the decisive step that transforms loose powders into functional, load-bearing materials. Regardless of how advanced…
(read more) Introduction: Why Boron Sits at the Core of Modern Energetic Systems In energetic and defense materials engineering, performance is measured not merely by strength or durability, but by energy density, reaction rate, ignition reliability, and…
(read more) Introduction: Why the Choice of Boron Precursor Defines Ceramic Performance In the field of advanced ceramics and refractory materials, raw material selection is not a preliminary step—it is the defining factor of final performance. Mechanical…
