On co-precipation fabrication of continuously graded composites

Abstract

The manner by which the particles settle in the laminar flow region is first described and the characteristics of co-sedimentation of two-species particles are summarized. The subsequent introduction is focused on the fabrication process of continuously graded composites using co-sedimentation technique. Finally, the authors point out the key problem that should be solved immediately, based on their current work.
