Lithium aluminosilicate reinforced with carbon nanofiber and alumina for controlled-thermal-expansion materials

Materials with a very low or tailored thermal expansion have many applications ranging from cookware to the aerospace industry. Among others, lithium aluminosilicates (LAS) are the most studied family with low and negative thermal expansion coefficients. However, LAS materials are electrical insulat...
