Abstract
Ceramic matrix composites have versatile application potential but are astricted by brittleness and single function. It can be ameliorated assisted by reinforcements, but the uneven distribution of reinforcements seriously limits the reinforcing efficiency. In this work, the layered porous skeleton of alumina (Al2O3) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) was prepared, then defective-graphene (DG) and silicon nitride nanowires (Si3N4nw) were successively grown in-situ in the skeleton (Al2O3/SiO2-G-Si3N4nw) to concurrently strength and toughen, as well as endow Al2O3 ceramic with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance. Subsequently, Al2O3/SiO2-G-Si3N4nw preform was sintered to construct a uniform Si3N4nw synergistic DG enhancement network. The optimum flexural strength and fracture toughness of the sintered ceramic reached 388.52 MPa and 11.29 MPa m1/2, respectively. This was mainly since DG can fine the ceramic grains, induce crack deflection and furcation, while the uniformly distributed Si3N4nw consumed additional energy during the pull-out process. In addition, the EMI shielding effectiveness of the sintered ceramics in X-band was up to 31.77 dB, which is mainly attributed to the conductive loss, dipole polarization loss and interfacial polarization loss of DG. Remarkably, this work provides an idea for efficient strengthening, toughening and integration of structure and function.
