Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with excellent load-bearing and high-temperature resistance have attracted much attention for both civil and military applications. In this regard, mechanically robust (bending strength of 246 ± 15 MPa) C f @BN/(CrZrHfNbTa)C–SiC high-entropy ceramic matrix composite with BN interphase was designed and fabricated in this work for highly EMI shielding performance and high-temperature resistance. As a result of the synergistic effect of multi-components, mean total EMI shielding efficiency (SE T ) of the composite with 3 mm thickness is up to 32.5 dB (higher than 99.9 % EMI shielding) in Ku-band. This indicates that thickness of the BN interphase has a remarkable effect on EMI shielding performance, indicating that the absorption coefficient ( A ) increases gradually with increasing BN thickness. The EMI shielding performance exhibit excellent high-temperature stability in an oxidation environment. Even after multiple high temperature oxidations in the temperature range of 400–800 °C, the composite remains outstanding EMI shielding performance. This study provides a structural and functional integrated EMI shielding material with a potential long service life at high temperatures.

To overcome the strength-ductility conflict in particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites (PRAMCs), a novel dual configuration strategy of microstructure was proposed in this work. The dual configuration including both heterogeneous grain structure and hybrid reinforcements was obtained by powder metallurgy, which was designed as submicron-sized SiC particles (SiCsm)/Al and micron-sized SiC particles (SiCm)/2024Al components. Representative alternating coarse grain (CG) bands containing SiCm and ultra fine grain (UFG) bands with dispersed SiCsm were revealed in microstructural characterizations. Compared to corresponding homogeneous composites with the same fraction particles, the dual configuration composite achieved simultaneous enhancement in strength and ductility and remained a comparable Young’s modulus of 98GPa, which represented 442 MPa in yield strength, 590 MPa in ultimate strength and 8.7 % in fracture elongation. The extra strength provided by hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening is a potential dominant strengthening mechanism. The intrinsic toughening mechanisms primarily contribute to HDI strain hardening and enhanced dislocation accumulation capacity, while the extrinsic toughening mechanisms presumably attribute to more uniform microcrack distribution and blunting effect of CG zones on cracks. Our work provides a feasible route including ball milling and powder assembly to preparate high-modulus aluminum matrix composites for strength-ductility balance design.

Low turn-on fields together with boosted stabilities are recognized as two key factors for pushing forward the implementations of the field emitters in electronic units. In current work, we explored superior flexible field emitters based on single-crystalline 3C-SiC nanowires, which had numbers of sharp edges, as well as corners surrounding the wire body and B dopants. The as-constructed field emitters behaved exceptional field emission (FE) behaviors with ultralow turn-on fields (Eto) of 0.94–0.68 V/μm and current emission fluctuations of ±1.0–3.4%, when subjected to harsh working conditions under different bending cycles, various bending configurations, as well as elevated temperature environments. The sharp edges together with the edges were able to significantly increase the electron emission sites, and the incorporated B dopants could bring a more localized state close to the Fermi level, which rendered the SiC nanowire emitters with low Eto, large field enhancement factor as well as robust current emission stabilities. Current B-doped SiC nanowires could meet all essential requirements for an ideal flexible emitters, which exhibit their promising prospect to be applied in flexible electronic units.

Increasing the high-temperature anti-oxidation time of Carbon/carbon(C/C) composites faces significant challenges for conventional coatings. Herein, a unique bi-layer coating of HfC-TaC-B 4 C-SiC(HTBS)/ZrSiO 4 -glass(ZA) was proposed and prepared through slurry sintering method, and their oxidation behavior and mechanism were investigated. The results show that after oxidation at 1673 K in air for 750.5 h, the mass loss of the coated C/C was only 3.48% with about 720 h of weight gain oxidation, indicating that the anti-oxidation time has increased by two or three times compared to traditional coatings. The improved oxygen resistance performance was mainly attributed to the hinder layer of Si/Hf-Ta-Si-O during oxidation, which grew with the simultaneous carbothermal reduction reaction of SiO near matrix and oxidation reaction of HTBS. This is beneficial to lowering the thermal mismatch of coating system, reducing the connected thermal stress cracks as oxygen permeation channels. Our findings provide a new insight on improving the long-time thermal protection performance of C/C composites.

C f /SiC-ZrC renowned for its outstanding performance as a thermal protectant, has gaining widespread recognition. Recent research on this system has emphasized the development of a cost-effective and reusable version with increased thickness for extended use in thick-walled thermal structural components. Ablation resistance, high strength retention, and high thermal conductivity are crucial for successful aircraft reentry. In this study, a low-cost reactive melt infiltration (RMI) method is developed for preparing dense and high-performance large-thickness C f /SiC-ZrC (L-C f /SiC-ZrC) with a gradient-structured matrix. The use of a fine weave-pierced fabric preform structure enhances both the structural integrity and thermal conductivity of C f /SiC-ZrC in the thickness direction. Simultaneously, the gradient-structured matrix, with appropriate contents of surficial ZrC and SiC exhibits erosion resistance, where the internal core with a high SiC content ensures remarkable strength retention. This unique matrix-structure design is achieved by integrating porous C with a single-stage pore structure and a high degree of graphitization degree, and a Si-Zr alloy with a unique composition. The 20mm thick C f /SiC-ZrC obtained via RMI has a density of 2.79 g/cm 3 with an open porosity of 5.65% and flexural strength of 224.3±5.4 MPa. Under a heat flux of 4.186 MW/m 2 , C f /SiC-ZrC exhibits an ablation rate of −0.004 mm/s after 60 s, demonstrating its resilience against ablation damage. Moreover, the post-ablation strength (166.0±4.4 MPa) exceeds that of reported C f /SiC-ZrC congeners, highlighting the robust load-bearing capability.

Aiming at forming a stable ablation layer for hafnium-based ultrahigh-temperature ceramics under ablation environment, in this work, the Ta-based ceramic was introduced into the Hf-based ceramic, and the effect of Hf/Ta molar ratios on the ablation response behavior and mechanism of (Hf, Ta)B 2 -(Hf, Ta)C-SiC ceramics was investigated. It was found that the introduction of Ta could form a continuous and dense ablation layer. When Hf/Ta= 0.9:0.1, the ceramic composite presented excellent ablation resistance, and the linear ablation rate was −0.083 μm/s, which was only 5.85 % of that of Hf-based ceramics (HfB 2 -HfC-SiC). The excellent ablation resistance attributed to that the ablation products (Ta 2 O 5 and Hf 6 Ta 2 O 17 ) could strongly bonded to the substrate, which was conducive to enhance the stability of the ablation layer.

Lithium-ion batteries crucially rely on an effective battery thermal management system (BTMS) to sustain their temperatures within an optimal range, thereby maximizing operational efficiency. Incorporating bio-based composite phase change material (CPCM) into BTMS enhances efficiency and sustainability. This study commences by blending lauric acid and myristic acid in a 7: 3 mass ratio to synthesize a bio-based CPCM, following which the thermophysical properties of this CPCM are tested. Subsequently, the CPCM is integrated into a SiC foam and coupled with air to develop a novel BTMS. Then the effects of air velocity and initial temperature on the temperature of the battery pack are analyzed. Finally, the RIME-Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)- Self-Attention (SA)- Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model is established to predict the temperature of the battery in this BTMS. The results indicate that the latent heat of the CPCM is 97.98 J/g, melting at 35 °C upon heating. The incorporation of SiC foam-CPCM effectively reduces battery temperatures. When the air velocity is set at 3 m/s, the battery temperature remains below 40 °C during a discharge rate of 2C. Notably, the CPCM melts at higher initial temperatures, effectively mitigating the temperature rise in the battery pack. The RIME-CNN-SA-GRU model exhibits remarkable accuracy, with a maximum prediction error of 0.56 °C and a RMSE of 0.23, precisely capturing the trend of a sharp temperature rise at the end of discharge. This study presents an efficient solution for lithium-ion battery thermal management and temperature prediction.

In reactive distillation processes constrained by the efficiency of vapor–liquid mass transfer, reducing the physical dimensions of simultaneous reaction and separation operations can significantly enhance overall process efficiency. To achieve this, HY@SiC, a structured catalytic packing was developed, allowing for concurrent catalytic reactions and vapor–liquid mass transfer on its surface. This innovative catalytic packing was employed in a pilot reactive distillation column to experimentally investigate the production of dimethyl maleate via reactive distillation, marking the first validation of its performance. Additionally, a reactive distillation model incorporating HY@SiC structured catalytic packing was established. Ultimately, a new double-column reactive distillation process for producing dimethyl maleate was proposed, with plans for optimization aimed at minimizing total annual cost, which was 4.08 × 10 5 $/y, utilizing a sequential iterative algorithm as the core focus for design improvements, while achieving DMM yield and purity levels of 99.42 % and 99.0 wt%, respectively.

The high refractive index , high absorbance, and low sintering activity of SiC powders pose challenges in achieving sufficient curing depth of SiC slurries and achieving densification of SiC ceramics. Hence, the preparation of high-strength SiC ceramics by vat photopolymerization is a challenge. This study proposes a strategy of particle surface oxidation modification and particle gradation to address this difficulty. Specifically, the surface of micron and submicron SiC particles is oxidatively modified to enhance the curing depth of SiC slurry, and the gradation of these particles is optimized to improve the sintering activity of the SiC particle system. The percentage of oxidized micron and submicron SiC particles is carefully adjusted to meet the requirements of both vat photopolymerization preparation and sintering. It found that increasing the percentage of sub-micron particles in the particle grade system had a negative impact on the rheological and curing properties of the slurry but contributed to the stability of the slurry and the performance of the sintered ceramic parts. Ensuring that the percentage of sub-micron particles reaches 50% or higher and reducing direct contact between micron particles to form sintered necks are two key conditions for the preparation of high-strength SiC ceramics. Additionally, it found that interlayer bonding location is the pore defects concentrated in the sintered ceramic parts, providing direction for further optimization of ceramic properties. By implementing the oxidation modification and particle gradation optimization strategy , the densification and three-point flexural strength of SiC ceramic parts were improved significantly. The relative density and three-point flexural strength of SiC increased from 65.7 ± 5.3% to 86.8 ± 3.7% and from 75.0 ± 2.1–170.9 ± 11.6 MPa, respectively. This approach provides a simple and effective method to prepare high-strength SiC ceramics by vat photopolymerization .

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.

Superhydrophobic polyurethane foam has great potential to be used as adsorbent for cleaning up oil spills. In this study, lignin and castor oil were used as alternative resources to petroleum-based raw materials for the production of degradable polyurethane foams for oil spill treatment. SiC was first modified by 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorododecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) to obtain F-SiC. F-SiC was superhydrophobicity with an irregular crystalline structure of diameters ranging from 20 to 500 nm. It was incorporated into the matrix of lignin and castor oil derived polyurethane foam. With the addition of F-SiC, the water contact angle of the foam increased to 151.7 °C to render the foam superhydrophobic. After 100 cycles of mechanical compression, the foam showed a good elastic recovery ability. It is shown in SEM that F-SiC was distributed on the foam skeleton. Under 1 KW/m 2 sunlight intensity, the temperature of the foam went up to 88.8 °C. On top of that, the foam showed excellent self-cleaning and oil-absorbing properties. It degraded within 4 h in alkaline solutions. Therefore, these castor oil and lignin derived bio-based polyurethane foams possess good mechanical stability, fast oil absorption, and alkaline degradability which has good application prospects in oil spill cleanup.

Carbon fiber reinforced ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites (C f /UHTCMCs) are considered ideal materials for thermal protection components in hypersonic vehicles due to their outstanding overall performance. However, the existing fabrication techniques for C f /UHTCMCs face significant engineering challenges, including high raw material costs and complex processing methods. Here we propose a cost-effective fabrication strategy. This approach ensures the oxidation and ablation resistance of the material by incorporating sufficient ZrB 2 and SiC, followed by filling the remaining pores in the composite with in-situ derived pyrolytic carbon from furfuryl ketone resin, which significantly reduces fabrication costs and enables rapid densification. The C f /ZrB 2 -SiC-C composites produced by this strategy exhibit a flexural strength of 468 ± 18 MPa and a fracture toughness of 18.23 ± 1.14 MPa m 1/2 . Furthermore, the composites remain non-ablative when exposed to temperatures of 2300 °C for extended periods, with a mass ablation rate of only 4.14 × 10 −6 g/(mm 2 ·s) after 400 s of testing. This strategy offers significant design versatility and can be applied to various ultra-high temperature ceramic systems, offering a novel and cost-effective approach to the development of thermal protection materials for hypersonic vehicles.
