Abstract Carbon fiber-reinforced HfC-SiC ceramic matrix composites (C f/HfC-SiC) with
different HfC-SiC matrix thicknesses were prepared by the chemical vapor infiltration …

The microstructure and crack propagation path of 2.5 D SiC f/SiC composites were observed
by synchrotron radiation x-ray computed micro tomography (SR-μCT) equipped with in-situ …

This study presents new findings related to the incorporation of MXene phases into ceramic.
Aluminium oxide and synthesised Ti3C2 were utilised as starting materials. Knowing the …

The high-temperature fracture toughness of C/SiC composites is of great significance for the
tolerance assessment and safety application of components in service. In this work …

This article reviews recent developments in small-scale mechanical property testing with
some emphasis on intermediate (meso) length scales in complex microstructures and …

In recent years, the rapid development of aerospace technology has been greatly
associated with the development of materials science. The temperatures of sharp leading …

The environmental degradation of SiC/BN/SiC CMCs under low temperature water exposure
is still an unexplored field. This work shows how the effect of low temperature humid …
