“…Majority of R&D researches for the property evaluation of SiC f /SiC composites were also devoted to the establishment of baseline properties such as microstructure, bending strength, tensile strength, associated with the optimization of fabricating conditions [9][10][11][12]. Among the manufacturing processes of SiC f /SiC composites, liquid phase sintering (LPS) process can be recognized as an attractive method for providing the dense SiC matrix with a high crystalline [13,14]. In addition, the utilization of ultra-fine SiC powder with submicron or nano size for the fabrication of SiC f /SiC composites also was very effective * Corresponding author.…”
