It is known that ceramic-polymer composite materials can be used to manufacture spherical bodies in the category of balls. Since balls are frequently subjected to compression loads, the paper presents some research results on the compression behavior of balls made of ceramic composite materials with a polymer matrix. The mathematical model of the pressure variation inside the balls highlights the existence of maximum values in the areas of contact with other parts. Experimental research was carried out on balls with a diameter of 20 mm, manufactured by 3D printing from four ceramic-polymer composite materials with a polymer matrix: pottery clay, terracotta, concrete, and granite. The same ceramic-polymer composite material was used, but different dyes were added to it. A gravimetric analysis revealed similar behavior of the four materials upon controlled heating. Through the mathematical processing of the experimental results obtained by compression tests, empirical mathematical models of the power-type function type were determined. These models highlight the influence exerted by different factors on the force at which the initiation of cracks in the ball materials occurs. The decisive influence of the infill factor on the size of the force at which the cracking of the balls begins was found.

As one of the key components of supercapacitors (SCs), separators can directly affect the energy density, output power, and safety stability of SCs. However, it is still a challenge to prepare separators that simultaneously combine large pore size, ultrathin thickness, and excellent mechanical properties. Herein, a 5 μm ultrathin separator with a three-dimensional (3D) porous nanofiber skeleton dotted by fumed AlO nanoparticles has been developed using biaxial stretching.

The development of new encapsulating coatings for flexible solar cells (SCs) can help address the complex problem of the short lifespan of these devices, as well as optimize the technological process of their production. In this study, new laminate-type protective composite coatings were prepared using a silicon oxynitride thin-film matrix obtained by curing the pre-ceramic polymer perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) through two low-temperature methods: (i) thermal annealing at 180 °C and (ii) exposure to UV radiation at wavelengths of 185 and 254 nm. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used as fillers via dry transfer, facilitating their horizontal orientation within the matrix.

In the transition to safer, more energy-dense solid state batteries, polymer-ceramic composite electrolytes may offer a potential route to achieve simultaneously high Li-ion conductivity and enhanced mechanical stability. Despite numerous studies on the polymer-ceramic composite electrolytes, disagreements persist on whether the polymer or the ceramic is positively impacted in their constituent ionic conductivity for such composite electrolytes, and even whether the interface is a blocking layer or a highly conductive lithium ion path. This lack of understanding limits the design of effective composite solid electrolytes.

As a promising solution for solid-state batteries with high energy density and safety, understanding the mechanism of fast ion conduction in polymer-ceramic composite solid-state electrolytes (CSEs) is still a challenging task. Herein, we understand the enhanced ion conduction in CSEs using a series of ionic spectra. Ionic insight is extended to ion conduction in CSEs, resolving the mechanism of fast ion migration.
