Abstract
The behavior of ceramics at the nanometer scale strongly differs from the one of the corresponding bulk material. For instance, strong plastic deformation has recently been reported in isolated nanometer-sized alumina nanoparticles or MgO nanocubes, when tested in situ in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). This plastic behavior may also occur in a powder during the compaction process, even at room temperature. Controlling plastic deformation of nanoparticles during the ceramics processing might be a way to enhance their properties or to improve the processing route (compaction and sintering steps, for instance). We present here a comprehensive study of the mechanical behavior of transition alumina in the compacted powder.
