Abstract:In this work, low-softening-temperature and low-modulus SiO2 was introduced as an embedded interface between SiC nanowires (SiCnws) and the BaxSr1−xAl2Si2O8 ceramic matrix to enhance the strength and toughness of the ceramic. In the sintering process, molten SiO2 enhances the flowability of the ceramic powders and modifies the dispersion of the SiCnws. The strengthening effect of SiCnws was fully realized, and the flexural strength of the optimized ceramics reaches 193±16 MPa, which represents an increase of 5… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
