“…The SiC fabric was pre-treated with a sodium dioctyl-sulfosuccinate (SDOSS) solution to improve wettability. 41 After the deposition, the samples were dried in air at room temperature, vacuum-infiltrated by an aluminium dihydrogen phosphate (Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 ) aqueous solution (TKI Hrastnik, Slovenia), and sintered at 1300 • C in argon (Ar) for 3 h. The microstructures of the green and sintered samples were observed using field emission gun scanning electron microscopes (FEG-SEM, LEO 1525, and Zeiss SUPRA 35VP). The sintered samples were inspected by EDS.…”
