Abstract Semi-conductive C/Al2O3 ceramic composites were successfully fabricated by a pretty simple approach, combining a powder mixture process and pulsed electric current sintering. In order to obtain homogeneous distribution of carbon contents, popular polymers were used as carbon fillers to mix with Al2O3 powder by a wet ball milling step. The sintering was conducted by pulsed electric current sintering without any special requirement of the reductive environment like in conventional sintering. Density of bulk bodies, states of carbon contents after sintering and the electrical properties were analyzed in this study. Although the density of sintered bodies and their electrical properties were not superior, those characteristics of C/Al2O3 ceramic composites in this study were still comparatively high among semi-conductive ceramics. Especially, the carrier type of semi-conductive C/Al2O3 composites could be modified easily by adding polycarboxylic acid (PCA) in the powder mixture as a dispersant.

Chromium oxide is a promising material for applications where excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness, and high wear resistance are needed. However, its use is limited because of low fracture toughness. Improvement of fracture toughness of chromium oxide while maintaining its afore mentioned key properties is therefore of high interest. In this communication we study the possibility of increasing the toughness of pulsed electric current sintered (PECS) chromium oxide by the addition of graphene oxide (GO). The indentation fracture toughness was improved markedly with the addition of graphene oxide. Materials prepared by direct chemical homogenization had better fracture toughness. In composites with 10 vol.% GO piling of thin graphene oxide layers resulted in the formation of graphite layers between Cr2O3 and in carbide formation, which were observed to be the main reasons for the degradation of the mechanical properties. The distribution of graphene oxide was more homogeneous, when the GO amount was 0.1 vol.% and the formation of graphitic layers were avoided due to lesser amount of GO as well as ultrasonic treatment following the ball milling.
