... His current research is concerned with chemical processing of nanophase metals, ceramics, cermets, and composites, starting from aqueous solution or metal-organic precursors. Primary objectives of the research are to develop scalable processes for the production of nanostructured powders, thin films and multilayered structures, diffusion and overlay coatings, particle-dispersed and fiber-reinforcec!
