Ultrafine-grained materials: a personal perspective
Abstract
The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu wrote that “a journey of a thousand li begins with a single step”.† My first step on the road to ultrafine-grained materials occurred on 5 May, 1989, when I boarded a plane in Los Angeles on the way to Ufa via Copenhagen and Moscow. This review provides a very brief summary of the historical development of ultrafine-grained materials and my personal journey through this important area of materials research.
