Hierarchic concept of structural levels and structural engineering of inorganic materials

  • Theory and Technology of Sintering, Thermal and Chemicothermal Treatment
  • Published:
Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

The paper considers the hierarchic concept of structural levels in inorganic materials. On the one hand, it reflects the hierarchic structure of matter and, on the other hand, plays a significant part in the well-known materials-science triad: chemical composition–structure–properties. It is the hierarchic concept of structure that may underlie the structural engineering of materials. Special significance of the concept in nanostructured materials science is emphasized.
