This dissertation aims to utilize contemporary advanced sintering techniques such as cold sintering, reactive hydrothermal liquid phase densification, fast firing, flash sintering, and ultrafast high-temperature sintering for sintering of various ceramic materials. The ceramics produced through these methods are compared with their traditional counterparts in terms of processing-structure-property relationships. In the first section, a brief overview of the advanced sintering techniques used is provided. Chapters 2-7 give a review study on low-temperature densification techniques, and the studies conducted using the cold sintering process and reactive hydrothermal liquid phase densification process, namely cold sintering techniques, which allow densification below 400 °C. Chapters 8&9 presents research related to ceramic materials produced via the fast-firing technique with rapid heating rates compared to conventional sintering, widely employed in the industry. Chapters 10-12 cover sintering studies conducted utilizing joule heating based sintering techniques allowing very fast heating rates such as flash sintering and ultrafast high-temperature sintering. Chapter 13 presents a comparison of current sintering techniques used in terms of applicability, equipment, materials, and so on. The pros and cons of such techniques were explained. In conclusion, there may be no guarantee that every ceramic material will yield successful results in all sintering processes. It is essential to recognize that each sintering process occurs within distinct sintering mechanisms. The selection of the appropriate advanced sintering method and conditions should be based on an assessment of the specific material's characteristics and the desired properties in the final product.
