Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced ultra high temperature ceramic composites possess excellent high-temperature mechanical and functional properties, which have been extensively used in many high-technical industrial fields such as aerospace, metallurgy, oil & gas, nuclear power, and energy. They mainly include oxide composites with high melting point, carbide composites, nitride composites, boride composite and metal-matrix composite, and so on. To further improve their properties and extend service lives, and to decrease cost and environmental pollution, considerable efforts have been continuously made in the world, but are still facing many challenges for which it is urgent to develop next generation advanced ultra high temperature ceramic composites. In the past few years, great progress has been obtained in this field of multi-scale composition design, new/advanced preparation method, refined microstructure control, and advanced characterization of mechanical properties, and so on. This Special Issue will focus on the recent research work on advanced ultra high temperature ceramic composites, so as to provide a new insight into the current status and future prospects in this field. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-scale composition design of ultra high temperature ceramic composite systems with high strength and toughness
- Novel synthesis method of oxide composites with high melitng point, carbide composites, nitride composites, boride composite and metal-matrix composite
- Novel preparation techniques of ultra high temperature ceramic composites (e.g., Casting, additive manufacturing, directional solidification, coating preparation techniques, composite preparation techniques)
- Sintering/densification/solidification mechanisms (e.g., hot-pressing, SPS sintering, laser processing, directional/rapid solidification and flash sintering)
- Microstructural characterizations and controlling mechanisms
- Properties: mechanical, thermal and chemical properties
- Applications of ultra high temperature ceramic composite
It is my great pleasure to invite every one to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews on any aspect of ultra high temperature ceramic composite are all welcome.
