Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed a new type of functional gradient material - multilayer optical ceramics. It is created from two well-known and well-studied types of optical ...

It is difficult to imagine the present world without polymers. Natural polymers have a very important role as structural materials (polysaccharides and proteins), information storage (nucleic acids), ...

A functionally graded material (FGM) is a two-component composite characterised by a compositional gradient from one component to the other. In contrast, traditional composites are homogeneous ...

The core competence of the department “Interfaces, Coatings and Corrosion Protection for Functional Material Systems” is the control of material properties in devices and systems through interface and ...

Chemists have studied an elusive property in cathode materials, called a valence gradient, to understand its effect on battery performance. The findings demonstrated that the valence gradient can ...
