A review of the research progress on the interface between oxide fiber and oxide ceramic matrix

Oxide ceramics have excellent high temperature performance, superior thermal and chemical stability, which can be used in high temperature oxidizing environments, while oxide ceramics generally have low toughness and are prone to catastrophic damage... Oxide ceramics can be reinforced by high performance ceramic fibers to improve the fracture strength and fracture toughness, thus expanding its application in high-temperature components such as aero-engine combustion chambers and tail nozzles. The interface between fiber and matrix is an important factor that determines the performance of the composites. By tailoring the interface, the energy dissipation mechanisms such as fiber debonding and fiber pull-out can be brought into play to avoid the catastrophic damage of the composites. This review paper summarizes the recent research progress of the oxide fiber/oxide ceramic matrix composites interface. The mechanical properties of the interface and the design principles of the interface engineering are discussed, and types of interfaces and coating preparation methods are reviewed.

Automated summary

Oxide ceramics exhibit excellent high temperature performance and thermal stability, but are prone to catastrophic damage due to low toughness. By reinforcing and tailoring the interface, the mechanical properties of oxide ceramics can be improved, allowing for wider applications in high-temperature components.
