(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics boast impressive strength and durability, but their inherent rigidity and brittleness have long hindered applications demanding flexibility, such as filters, sensors, ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
The research team developed single-crystal HfB2 with a nanorod structure as the toughening phase for ceramic matrix composites, successfully fabricating HfB2-SiC composites that simultaneously possess ...
President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to providing increased strength properties, fiber-reinforced CMCs exhibit markedly improved toughness and damage tolerance compared to traditional ...
The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...
Advanced Ceramic Fibers LLC (ACF, Idaho Falls, Idaho, U.S.) has developed patented processes and materials that enable ultra-high temperature (UHT) ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and metal matrix ...
In a ceremony with Alabama public officials, GE Aviation broke ground on two adjacent factories to mass-produce silicon carbide (SiC) materials used to manufacture ceramic matrix composite components ...
