Abstract
Controlled shrinkage of hydrothermal carbon coating (HTCC) during its carbonization preparation process offers a novel strategy for optimizing the interfacial properties of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix materials. In this study, the effect of volumetric shrinkage in monolayer or bilayer HTCC on the interface characteristics and mechanical properties of Cf/ZrB2-SiC composites is investigated. The bilayer HTCC significantly enhances the crack deflection effect within the interphase compared to the monolayer HTCC. By precisely controlling the shrinkage of the layers of the bilayer HTCC, an innovative C/SiC/C trilayer interphase was synthesized in situ during the polymer infiltration process for preparing the Cf/ZrB2-SiC composites, which synergistically enhances stress dispersion and load transfer efficiency within the interface. The work of fracture for Cf/ZrB2-SiC composites modified by the trilayer interphase has been significantly elevated to 2258 J/m2, which far exceeds the 129 J/m2 measured for the composites lacking a HTCC interphase.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
