Abstract Using ZrOCl 2· 8H 2 O, Na 2 B 4 O 7· 10H 2 O and C 12 H 22 O 11 as raw materials,
micron-sized rod-like ZrB 2 powders were prepared via a molten-salt-mediated …

To avoid introduction of milling media during ball‐milling process and ensure uniform
distribution of SiC and graphite in ZrB2 matrix, ultrafine ZrB2–SiC–C composite powders …

Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are candidates that can be used in extremely high
temperature environments relative to the Si-based ceramic due to their excellent high …

From a chemical infrastructure perspective, it is important to ensure that all ions constituting
