Flexural strength, thermal and dielectric properties of AlN ceramics with BN nanoplatelets addition

The enhanced mechanical properties of SiC nanowires/Ba 0.75Sr 0.25Al 2Si 2O 8 ceramics with embedded SiO 2 interface

“…The introduction of reinforcements is an effective approach to improve the strength and toughness of ceramics [11][12][13][14]. Typical reinforcements include zerodimensional (0D) ceramic particles (e.g., SiC particles and Si3N4 particles) [15,16], one-dimensional (1D) nanotubes (e.g., carbon nanotubes and BN nanotubes) [17,18], nanowires (e.g., carbon nanowires and SiC nanowires (SiCnws)) [19][20][21], twodimensional (2D) (e.g., graphene and BN nanosheets [22][23][24]). Among these, the enhancing effects of carbon nanotubes, SiC nanosheets, and BN nanosheets on the mechanical properties of BAS ceramics have been confirmed, with optimized flexural strength and fracture toughness reaching approximately 190 MPa and 3.0 MPa• m 1/2 , respectively [10,17,25].…”
