To further enhance the ablation resistance of C/C composites, solid solution ceramic Ta 0.2 Zr 0.8 C was used to replace traditional ultra-high-temperature ceramic carbides for matrix modification of C/C composites. The C/C-Ta 0.2 Zr 0.8 C-SiC composite was fabricated by a high-solid-loading slurry impregnation combined with the precursor infiltration and pyrolysis process. The comparative samples of C/C-ZrC-SiC and C/C-TaC-SiC were also prepared using these same technologies. The microstructure, flexural properties, and ablation performance of the composite were investigated. Results showed that the C/C-Ta 0.2 Zr 0.8 C-SiC exhibited excellent overall flexural properties. During the ablation test under an oxyacetylene flame with high heat flux, the ablation resistance of C/C-Ta 0.2 Zr 0.8 C-SiC improved with prolonged ablation time, reaching mass and linear ablation rates of 0.67 mg/s and 0.18 μm/s after 120 s of ablation. Compared to the C/C-ZrC-SiC and C/C-TaC-SiC, the mass ablation rate of the composite was reduced by 49.24% and 68.70%, and the linear ablation rate was reduced by 97.22% and 97.71%, respectively. The enhanced ablation resistance was primarily attributed to the formation of the Ta-Zr-O oxide layer, composed of TaZr 2.75 O 8 , ZrO 2 , and Ta 2 O 5 , on the composites surface. In the oxide layer, the Ta-rich oxides served as a binder, filling gaps in the interface. Meanwhile, the Zr-rich oxides formed the skeleton that pinned the molten liquid oxides. The combined effects of Ta-rich and Zr-rich oxides made the Ta-Zr-O oxide layer more compact and strongly bonded to the matrix.

High flight speed of hypersonic vehicles will push thermal insulation composites to achieve balanced enhancement of high porosity with increasing load-bearing capability. Herein, hierarchically porous SiC(rGO) polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) with lightweight, heat-insulating, anti-ablative and tough engineered merits, are designed from polycarbosilane-vinyltriethoxysilane-graphene oxide precursors by re-pyrolysis/graphite-assisted decarburization . Graphite pore-forming agents tightly coupled with SiO x C y /C free (rGO) by C-dangling bonds, can inhibit SiO x C y decomposition, increase ceramic network disorder and expedite concurrent removal of C free . SiO 2 generated from Si-dangling oxidation bonding, efficiently densifies framework to retain mechanical performances, and meanwhile creates more interfaces to enhance phonon scattering. Such structure similar to nodular cast iron confers low thermal conductivity (0.11 W·m -1 ·K -1 ), particularly, fully preserves good compressive strength (5.4 MPa) for SiC(rGO) 40% . Under both cyclic butane flame ablation (∼1300 °C) and long-term oxidation for 7200 s, self-healing effect of SiO 2 imbues products with good structural integrity, shedding light on the opportunity to apply any thermal protection system.

In this work, a novel carbon-enriched SiC by the polymer derived ceramic (PDC-SiC) route was manufactured. By varying the branched chain of the preceramic polymer, the structure and electromagnetic properties of the obtained PDC-SiC ceramics can be effectively altered through carbon enrichment. Specially, PDC-SiC ceramics obtained from branched polysilylacetylene (PSA) constitute a composite material that contains nano-sized SiC grains, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and silicon carbide nanowires (SiC nw ). Such PDC-SiC ceramics possess a complex three-dimensional network of CNT S /SiC nw , leading to remarkable microwave absorption properties. Notably, the PDC-SiC ceramics processed from dimethyl-polysilylacetylene (D-PSA) achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of −55.0 dB at 14.4 GHz, and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) extends across 5.5 GHz, with a thickness of 2 mm.

Ceramic membranes with tailored surface wettability have gained increasing attention for improving their separation efficiency and antifouling ability, while most of the previous work focused on the underwater oleophobic behavior. In this work, in-air highly oleophobic and hydrophilic SiC membranes were achieved through the UV irradiation triggered polymerization and controlled crosslinking between oleophobic perfluorodecyl acrylate (TFOA) and hydrophilic methacrylic acid (MAA). These key processing parameters including MAA content, soaking time and irradiation duration were systematically studied through examining the changes in porous microstructure, surface wettability and separation performance in oil-in-water emulsion. Results showed that the flux attenuation rate of SiC membranes can be effectively reduced by regulating the content of hydrophilic components. Due to the alternation of the surface wettability to highly oleophobic in air, the oil droplets can hardly attach on the surface of modified SiC membranes at the beginning of filtration process, and the membrane fouling was significantly slow down yet dominated by the intermediate blocking. Correspondingly, a combined cleaning procedure was proposed to regenerate the fouled SiC membranes. Further, the antifouling ability of modified and original SiC membranes was comparatively studied under the conditions of a fixed permeate volume (15 ml) and various oil concentrations (200 ∼ 1000 ppm) in the separation of oil-in-water emulsion. The advantages of modified SiC membranes become more notable when used for highly concentrated oil–water emulsion as reflected by the slower flux decline and higher stable flux. This work provides a feasible pathway to realize the in-air highly oleophobic and hydrophilic surface on ceramic membranes, and primarily demonstrates the advantages of antifouling ability in oil-in-water emulsion separation.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are widely used in vibration control due to their excellent magneto-controlled mechanical properties. In this research, polyurethane-based MRE polishing pads were prepared and used for the polishing of single-crystal SiC to investigate the magneto-controlled mechanical properties, the magneto-polishing effect, and the mechanism of action thereof. The results show that the pre-structuring process is affected by parameters such as mass fraction and particle size of magnetic particles in MREs and curing magnetic field strength, different chain strings that demonstrate different magnetorheological effects are formed. The greater the mass fraction of magnetic particles and curing magnetic field strength, the more the MREs exhibit magnetorheological effects, especially so when the magnetic particles size of 3 μm. A series of 90 min polishing experiments on single-crystal SiC with original surface roughness (Ra) 80 nm were conducted using an MRE pad. The results indicate that with the increase of polishing magnetic field strengths, the shear modulus of MRE polishing pads increases, the material removal rate (MRR) of the polishing process increases and Ra decreases. As the magnetic field strength is increased from 0 mT to 335 mT, the shear modulus is increased from 1.392 MPa to 1.825 MPa (an increase of 31.1%), while MRR is increased from 706.3 nm h−1 to 835.3 nm h−1 (an increase of 18.3%), Ra is decreased from 19.92 nm to 3.62 nm (an improvement in surface quality of 81.8%). The results show that the increase of the polishing magnetic field strengths changes the material modulus of the MRE polishing pads, which cause the decreases in the compressive and shear elastic deformation of the abrasive grains on the elastic substrate. This increases the positive pressure of the abrasive grains on the SiC wafer, which enhances the material-removal ability of the SiC wafer, thereby improving the surface quality of the wafer.

Sustainable transformation of methane into methanol feedstock syngas is a promising direction in future energy generation. A monolithic SiC-foam (SiC-foam, denoted as SCf) supported structured Ni-SrO composite nanomaterial was prepared via reducing the SrNiO 3 perovskite. The Ni-SrO/SCf displays a stronger resistance to Ni-sintering/coke-deposition than the unmodified Ni/SCf due to its uniform Ni distribution as well as the strong Ni-SrO interaction. In the presence of Ni-SrO/SCf sample at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 24,000 mL CH4 CO2 g Cat −1 h − 1 and an operating temperature of 850 °C, the initial conversion rate of biogas (CH 4 /CO 2 ) was 70/94%, which gradually dropped to 55/72% within 40 h, but its activity remained stable for the next 60 h. By contrast, the conversion rate of biogas (CH 4 /CO 2 ) in the presence of Ni/SCf sample was decreased rapidly from 60/80 to 50/65% within 20 h, due to the severe coke deposition and Ni-sintering.

Ti–Si–Fe alloys extracted from high-titanium blast furnace slag were utilized to replace part of the silicon powders, and then nitride/oxynitride bonded SiC ceramics were prepared by reactive sintering in graphite bed. Ti–Si–Fe alloys could react with CO/N 2 at a low temperature (1200 °C), and the addition of Ti–Si–Fe alloys could reduce the nitriding temperature of Si. Density functional theory calculations suggested that Ti–Si–Fe alloys enhanced reaction activity via weakening the strength of C O and N N bonds. The regional equilibrium phase diagrams of Si–C–N–O and Ti–Si–C–N–O under CO/N 2 atmosphere were calculated by thermodynamics. The change of whiskers morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the bulk density, the cold modulus of rupture, and the cold compressive strength improved with Ti–Si–Fe alloys content. The results showed that the addition of Ti–Si–Fe alloys not only significantly promoted nitriding of Si and formation of Si 3 N 4 whiskers, but also improved the mechanical properties of the samples.

The integration of phase change material (PCM) into aircraft thermal protection system (TPS) can dissipate aerodynamic heat by utilizing its sensible and latent heat, but there is a problem of leakage. Porous SiC ceramics with high-temperature resistance and low thermal conductivity are utilized to encapsulate high latent heat PCM, solving leakage issues and mitigating the high-temperature aerodynamic heating environment experienced by aircraft. In this study, low thermal conductivity porous SiC ceramics were prepared, where the addition of SiO 2 in the skeleton led to a 36% reduction in thermal conductivity, while the mechanical properties were improved by 129%. After loading the PCM, the thermal conductivity of the composite was only 0.402 W/(m·K), while the latent heat reached up to 231.07 J/g. Aircraft is subjected to space particles when serving in the space environment, therefore the effects of 60 Co γ-ray irradiation on composite PCMs were investigated. The results showed that irradiation induced a small number of point defects in the skeletons, which caused phase changing polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular chain breakage and the production of new compounds, thereby inducing a decrease in the latent heat of the PEG composites, whereas there was no significant effect on the phase changing mannitol (Man) composites. This study may provide guidance for the application of composite PCMs in TPS.

We studied the effects of particle size of raw materials (B 4 C, TiC and Si powders) on the characteristics of both TiB 2 –SiC composite powders and ceramics. Results show that the size of B 4 C and Si particles hardly affects the size of TiB 2 and SiC particles because B 4 C is decomposed and consumed during the formation of TiB 2 , and Si is melted during the formation of SiC. The size of SiC particles is within the nano and submicron scale. However, the size of TiC particles determines the sizes of TiB 2 particles and TiB 2 grains in the composite ceramics because TiC particles serve as templates to form TiB 2 particles. Consequently, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the TiB 2 –SiC composite ceramics are affected. The TiB 2 –SiC composites fabricated using nano-sized TiC powder possess smaller grain size, better dispersibility and more reasonable crack propagation path, thereby obtaining the optimal mechanical properties (Vickers hardness of 30.2 GPa, flexural strength of 732 MPa and fracture toughness of 7.37 MPa m 1/2 ).

An electrochemical immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of acrylamide (AA) in water and food samples was developed. SnO 2 -SiC hollow sphere nanochains with high surface area and gold nanoparticles with good electroconductivity were fabricated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode pre-coated with chitosan. The coating antigen (AA-4-mercaptophenylacetic acid-ovalbumin conjugate , AA-4-MPA-OVA) was immobilized on the electrode. Polyclonal antibody specific for AA-4-MPA was conjugated to gold nanorod (AuNR) as primary antibody (AuNR-Ab 1 ). Horseradish peroxidase labelled anti-rabbit antibody produced in goat was conjugated to AuNR as secondary antibody (HRP-AuNR-Ab 2 ). For detection, the analyte (AA-4-MPA) in sample competed with coating antigen for binding with AuNR-Ab 1 . After washing, HRP-AuNR-Ab 2 was added to capture the AuNR-Ab 1 , and the electrical signal was obtained by addition of hydroquinone and H 2 O 2 . After investigation of the binding ability on nanomaterials and optimization of competitive immunoassay conditions, the proposed immunosensor exhibited a sensitive response to AA with a detection limit of 45.9 ± 2.7 ng kg −1 , and working range of 187 ± 12.3 ng kg −1 to 104 ± 8.2 μg kg −1 for drinking water samples. Recoveries of AA from spiked samples were ranged from 86.0% to 115.0%. The specificity, repeatability and stability of the immunosensor were also proved to be acceptable, indicating its potential application in AA monitoring.

This study presents a novel fabrication strategy for unidirectional carbon fiber/ceramic films and integrates them with helical assembly, compression molding, and precursor infiltration and pyrolysis to construct a biomimetic Bouligand structure in ZrB 2 -SiC based composites. With a fixed helix angle of 30°, the influence of carbon fiber volume fractions (20 %, 30 %, 40 %) on the mechanical properties was investigated. The C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composites with 40 vol% carbon fiber exhibited the highest mechanical properties. Building upon this result, the effect of different helix angles (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°) on the mechanical properties was further investigated. The C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composite with 40 vol% fiber and a 60° helix angle sample exhibited the best overall mechanical performance, characterized by a flexural strength of 346.9 MPa, fracture toughness of 11.8 MPa·m 1/2 , and work of fracture of 5170.6 J·m −2 . SEM and CT analysis revealed that toughening was primarily attributed to crack deflection, microcracking, fiber pull-out, and bridging mechanisms.

High-temperature thermal-insulation aerogels with high mechanical strength and well oxidation resistance are critical for the thermal protect system (TPS) of aerospace vehicles. However, it is still challenging to achieve large-scale preparation of aerogels that integrate the above functions through a simple method. In this work, carbon fiber (CF) felts are introduced as a reinforcement and template to prepare silicon carbide nanowire (SiC nw ) aerogel composites through a simple in-situ growth strategy. The high-strength CF as the skeleton endows high mechanical strength, and the in-situ grown SiC nw aerogels lead to good thermal insulation of the composites. More importantly, a dense SiC shell was also formed and tightly coated on the surface of CF (CF@SiC) during the in-situ growth process, which effectively protects the CF from oxidation, thus enhancing the high temperature oxidation resistance of the composites. As a result, the optimal CF@SiC/SiC nw aerogel composites possess a low thermal conductivity of only 0.056 W m −1 K −1 at room temperature. The back temperature of the 9 mm thick composites is only 151.9 °C after exposure to a butane flame at 1220 °C for 300 s, and it still maintains considerable thermal insulation and mechanical properties after the ablation. In addition, the machinability of the CF felts makes it easy to prepare the composites in various shapes and larger sizes. This work provides a simple and scalable strategy to synthesize reliable SiC-based aerogel composites for high-temperature thermal insulation applied in extreme environments.
