Preceramic polymers (PCPs) are a group of specialty macromolecules that serve as
precursors for generating inorganics, including ceramic carbides, nitrides, and borides …

Three strategies were proposed to prolong the service life of continuous fiber-reinforced
silicon carbide ceramic matrix composite (CMC-SiC), which served as thermal-structure …

Silicon‐based ceramics and composites are prime candidates for heat engine and heat
exchanger structural components. In such applications these materials are exposed to …

Preceramic polymers, ie, polymers that are converted into ceramics upon heat treatment,
have been successfully used for almost 40 years to give advanced ceramics, especially …

SiC retains high mechanical strength and oxidation stability at temperatures above 1500° C,
representing a viable alternative to silica, alumina, and carbon, which have been in use as …

Silicon carbide (SiC) as both the most important non-oxide ceramic and promising
semiconductor material grows stoichiometric SiO 2 as its native oxide. During passive …

Oxidation of SiC can occur in a passive mode, where a protective film is generated, or in an
active mode, where a volatile suboxide is generated. The transitions from active‐to‐passive …

In this paper, the introduction of nano-sized active fillers into preceramic polymers for the
realization of multifunctional ceramic components is discussed. Several silicate and …

Oxidation studies of SiC are reviewed and analyzed in terms of thermodynamics by crossing
the high temperature behavior of the SiC material-mainly the activities of its components …

The carbothermal formation of silicon carbide is studied in the case of carbon fibres coated
with a continuous silica film obtained by a solgel process. The paper discusses the influence …
