Abstract

Nanostructure ceramics and their composites are attracting growing interest nowadays. With the development of innovative processing methodologies, these materials have reached a long way from the laboratory level to the commercial scale. Several types of ceramics nanocomposite are synthesized these days; still, an insightful analysis of the materials’ properties across length scales is essential for the fruitful utilization of their unique properties. Actually, the knowledge of the effect of nanoscale structures on the bulk properties facilitates the development of high-performance composite ceramics materials. Further, the development of preferred nanostructured characteristics in the sintered composites is a challenging task that requires cautious management in all manufacturing stages. This chapter revises the mainly utilized synthesis methods for the development of the nanocomposite ceramic powders with special emphasis on the key role of the synthesis method in directing the microstructure and properties of the sintered ceramics.
