Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) have been intensively studied for nearly 50 years due to
their unique advantages to producing ceramic fibers, coatings, foams, nanocomposites and …

Among engineering materials, ceramics are indispensable in energy applications such as
batteries, capacitors, solar cells, smart glass, fuel cells and electrolyzers, nuclear power …

Since the 1960s, a new class of Si-based advanced ceramics called polymer-derived
ceramics (PDCs) has been widely reported because of their unique capabilities to produce …

Silicon oxycarbides can be considered as being carbon‐containing silicates consisting of
glass networks in which oxygen and carbon share bonds with silicon. The carbon‐for …

Preceramic polymers were proposed over 30 years ago as precursors for the fabrication of
mainly Si‐based advanced ceramics, generally denoted as polymer‐derived ceramics …

Composites consist by definition of at least two materials (Gibbsian phases) with rather
different properties. They exhibit a heterogeneous microstructure and possess improved …

The present Review addresses current developments related to polymer-derived ceramic
nanocomposites (PDC-NCs). Different classes of preceramic polymers are briefly introduced …

A ceramic/graphene metamaterial (GCM) with microstructure‐derived superelasticity and
structural robustness is achieved by designing hierarchical honeycomb microstructures …

Carbon fiber composite's high specific strength makes it incredibly useful for structural
applications. However, their low strain-to-failure can be problematic in structural applications …
