· JVASP-17702· Nd3SnC

Nd₃SnC is a ternary ceramic compound combining rare-earth neodymium, tin, and carbon, belonging to the family of MAX phases and related intermetallic ceramics. This is a research-stage material studied for its potential combination of ceramic hardness with metallic conductivity and damage tolerance, rather than an established commercial product. Interest in this composition centers on applications requiring electrical or thermal conductivity in ceramic matrices, and the material family is being investigated for next-generation structural ceramics and electronic applications where traditional brittle ceramics fall short.
