- This work reported in the Q1 Journal Inorganic Chemistry (IF 4.85 in 2018) on the synthesis and mechanical properties of the (Nb,Zr)4AlC3 MAX phase solid solution, and has been cited 34 times. (Nb,Zr)4AlC3 is characterized by exceptional thermal stability, fracture toughness, and liquid metal corrosion resistance, making it a promising candidate material for Gen-IV lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs). (Zr,Nb)4AlC3 MAX phases were supplied for R&D purposes to the EPSRC-funded project CAFFE (Carbides for Future Fission Environments; Grants: EP/M018563/1, EP/M018482/1, EP/M018768/1) that run between July 2015 and June 2019 and involved Cambridge University, Imperial College London, Manchester University, Rolls-Royce and Westinghouse.
