Introduction:
High-entropy ceramics have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties that make them suitable for extreme conditions such as high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stress. These materials are composed of multiple elements in high concentrations, leading to the formation of complex structures that offer enhanced mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability compared to traditional ceramics. This thesis explores the potential applications of high-entropy ceramics in extreme conditions and aims to contribute to the understanding of their behavior under such environments.
