Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Silicon-based ceramics have become indispensable in many fields, from industrial automotive to aerospace to biomedical engineering. This progress is due to the 40 years of continuous research and developments of these high-performance materials. New information on processing parameters in different techniques as well as the microstructure–property relationship has lead to substantial improvements in performance and reliability for end-use aerospace structural, automotive, and functional applications, with lower cost. This Topic aims at addressing the recent developments in Si-based ceramic and composites. Si-based ceramics synthesis/processing, physicochemical properties, as well as current and prospective potential applications will be addressed. We would like to encourage the scientific community working in this area to contribute actively in the form of full articles, short communications, and reviews to this Topic.

The topics to be addressed are, e.g.,

  • Synthesis/processing of Si-based ceramics and composites; 
  • Polymer derived Si-based ceramics and its composites;
  • Additives and compounding of feedstocks;
  • Sintering (conventional, spark plasma sintering, and pressure and magnetic field-assisted);
  • Shaping of components (conventional and additive manufacturing); 
  • 3D printing (Si-based preceramics polymers and other methods);
  • Characterization (microstructure, mechanical, thermomechanical, and oxidation properties);
  • Applications of Si-based ceramics high-temperature structural applications.

Reaction-bonded SiC-B4C-Si ceramic composites were binder jet 3D-printed and subsequently pressureless-melt-infiltrated with molten Si. The addition of B4C aided the Si infiltration to produce a highly dense composite. The microstructures and phases of these composites were examined. The measured hardness values of each constituent with Vickers and nanoindentation matched the bulk values, and the macro-hardness values with Knoop and spherical indentation represented the bulk, composite hardness values of all three phases together, which was close to a rule of mixtures value. For particulate-based composites, this is a significant finding. The interfacial bonds of SiC and Si were imaged using scanning transmission electron microscopy to view intimacy, whereas the crack propagation was examined with carefully placed indents. This work demonstrated that pressureless melt infiltration with a reactive particle provides a method to shape non-wetting reaction-bonded ceramic composites with limited shrinkage and high density and provides insights into the mechanical behavior with numerous indentation techniques.
