An extruded wood polymer composite (WPC) green body that has then been carbonized into a porous preform and then processed via silicon melt infiltration into a high-performance silicon carbide (SiC) ...

PI Ceramic introduces the new product category “Piezoceramic Composites” based on the development of a new manufacturing technology. In this technology, piezoelectric ceramics are embedded in filling ...

The integration of ceramic fillers into polymer matrices has led to composites that combine the ease of processing and flexibility of polymers with the robust dielectric and thermal properties ...

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 ...

Arceon (Delft, Netherlands) produces a family of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) called Carbeon which comprise uncoated carbon fiber reinforcement in a carbon-silicon carbide matrix (C/C-SiC) made ...

At the Institute of Structures and Design, CMC materials originally were developed for thermal protection systems of reusable spacecraft. These so-called C/C-SiC materials are manufactured via the LSI ...

Solid-state electrolytes, such as those made from ceramic-polymer composites, are promising alternatives to liquid electrolytes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries that are safer and more stable ...

Polymers are composed of very large molecules formed by a combination of different monomers (smaller and simpler molecules), which can be natural or synthetic. Polymers are the basis of many ...

The use of ceramics dates back some 25,000 years, to the oldest human settlements’ use of clay vessels and sculptures. These ceramics, as well as infrastructure components such as bricks, tiles, and ...

Nanomedicine. 2013;8(4):639-653. However, the interfacial compatibility and interaction between the n-HA filler and the polymer matrix are vital factors to determine the dispersion of n-HA in a ...

Dielectric properties of polymer composites have generated considerable interest owing to their potential for high-performance energy storage, sensing and actuation applications. These composite ...
