Novel fabrication of SiC based ceramics for nuclear applications
(2009-05)
Advances in nuclear reactor technology and the use of gas-cooled fast reactors require the development of new materials that can operate at the higher temperatures expected in these systems. These materials include refractory ...
Polymer derived ceramics: Processing-structure-property relationships
(2008-05)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important ceramic, most commonly used because of its excellent properties such as high strength, high modulus, excellent creep resistance and its high temperature stability. Moreover, it is ...
Fabrication of fine grained SiC and SiC-exfoliated graphene nanocomposites using spark plasma sintering of polymer derived SiC
(2014-07)
In spite of excellent thermo-mechanical properties of silicon carbide (SiC), its application is limited due to its inherent brittle nature. Inclusion of a high strength and high modulus second phase can potentially improve ...
