The goal of achieving higher thermal efficiency in nuclear power systems, whether fission or
fusion based, has invariably led to the study and development of refractory metals, ceramics …

B4C–SiC composite ceramics are a very promising alternative to pure B4C ceramics and
pure SiC ceramics. B4C–SiC composite ceramics exhibit a combination of the desirable …

This paper presents the pressureless preparation of dense and crack-free near
stoichiometric SiC monoliths via cross-linking and pyrolysis of a polycarbosilane, followed …

Open porosity cellular SiC-based ceramics have a great potential for energy conversion, eg
as solar receivers. In spite of their tolerance to damage, structural applications at high …

In order to demonstrate that digital material engineering methodology is able to address the
design and optimisation of architectured ceramic materials, solar volumetric receivers …

The application of advanced ceramic materials is limited by their brittleness and complicated
manufacturing methods. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a new method for …

A fully dense SiC ceramic with high thermal conductivity was obtained by conventional hot
pressing, with 1 vol% Y 2 O 3–Sc 2 O 3 additives. The ceramic had a bimodal microstructure …

In this study, a commercial polycarbosilane (PCS) and divinylbenzene (DVB) were used as
the preceramic polymer precursor and crosslinking agent, respectively to form porous silicon …

Synthesized ceramic precursor of silicon-containing polyborazine (SPBZ) was introduced to
fabricate the modified phenolic resins (SPBZ-PR), which was then performed as resin matrix …

One route for producing fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites entails repeated
impregnation and pyrolysis of a preceramic polymer in a fiber preform. The process relies …
