An Overview on the Improvement of Mechanical Properties of Ceramics Nanocomposites

Abstract

Due to their prominent properties (mechanical, stiffness, strength, thermal stability), ceramic composite materials (CMC) have been widely applied in automotive, industrial and aerospace engineering, as well as in biomedical and electronic devices. Because monolithic ceramics exhibit brittle behaviour and low electrical conductivity, CMCs have been greatly improved in the last decade. CMCs are produced from ceramic fibres embedded in a ceramic matrix, for which several ceramic materials (oxide or non-oxide) are used for the fibres and the matrix. Due to the large diversity of available fibres, the properties of CMCs can be adapted to achieve structural targets. They are especially valuable for structural components with demanding mechanical and thermal requirements. However, with the advent of nanoparticles in this century, the research interests in CMCs are now changing from classical reinforcement (e.g., microscale fibres) to new types of reinforcement at nanoscale. This review paper presents the current state of knowledge on processing and mechanical properties of a new generation of CMCs: Ceramics Nanocomposites (CNCs).

Enhancing stab resistance of thermoset–aramid composite fabrics by coating with SiC particles

“…SiC, one of the most outstanding ceramics, has been widely used as bullet-proof material and abrasive due to its high hardness and excellent wear resistance [17,18]. As mentioned above, the SiC particles dispersed among the fibers reduced the tear properties of fabrics.…”

Ceramic bodies with rock processing residues (RPR) for constructing materials

“…3). Again, we discussed and compared the six groups: RPR0 (0 wt%), RPR 10 (10 wt% The huge content of SiO 2 is oriented with crystalline phase of quartz and combined to Al 2 O 3 in the aluminosilicates structure [17,18].…”

Feasibility Study of Construction Project in Compliance with Bank Investment Supervision Requirements

“…(3) Risks of the highest impact values affect the monitored projects with pretty low level of likelihood and those of the lowest impact values are aligned with higher level of likelihood. Lack of correlation of risks impact and their likelihood at really high level determines reasonable level of risks significance, not higher than 1/3 of possible significance in "risks monitoring" strategy [8][9][10]. Therefore, all professionally monitored construction risks are "manageable".…”
