“…The properties of mullite filler infiltrated in the Si-Ti-C-O fabric were as follows : chemical composition (mass%)-71.46 Al 2 O 3 , 28.13 SiO 2 , 0.30 ZrO 2 , 0.10 TiO 2 , 0.01 Na 2 O, cumulative particle size distribution (µm)-0.7 (10%)-1.7 (50%)-3.8 (90%). An electrosterically stabilized aqueous mullite suspension of 40 vol% solids at pH 8.5, was prepared by adding polyacrylicammonium (average molecular weight, 10000) of 0.65 mass%, against the mass of mullite [8]. The 13 sheets of a woven fabric of Si-Ti-C-O fibers, 270 µm thick, 20 mm wide, and 90 mm long were laminated together in the mullite suspension.…”
