A SiC fiber-reinforced mullite ceramic-matrix composite with a carbon nanosphere network (CNSN) in the SiC interface was prepared. The composite showed significant improvement in flexural strength and failure displacement due to the contribution of CNSN towards interface debonding, fiber slipping, and individual fiber pull-out. The complex permittivity of the composite was enhanced, leading to increased effective absorption bandwidth and minimum reflection loss.
SiC fiber-reinforced mullite ceramic-matrix (SiCf/mullite) composite is a promising load-bearing and microwave absorption material. However, the strong interfacial bonding strength and low permittivity cause poor mechanical and absorption performance. Herein, we report SiCf/C-SiC/mullite composite containing a carbon nanosphere network (CNSN) in the SiC interface prepared by precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP). Due to the contribution of CNSN towards interface debonding, fiber slipping, and individual fiber pull-out, the composite shows significant improvement in the flexural strength (by 187%, from 56.23 +/- 4.89 MPa to 161.69 +/- 13.43 MPa) and the failure displacements (by 238%, from 0.080 +/- 0.006 mm to 0.271 +/- 0.015 mm). Moreover, the real and imaginary parts of complex permittivity (epsilon ', epsilon '') are enhanced from 5.57 to 5.98-6.36-7.11 and from 1.27 to 1.95-2.97-4.69, respectively. Under the synergistic effect of appropriate impedance matching in company with effective conductive loss and multiple polarization loss, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) increases from 0.98 GHz to the entire X band, and the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) enhanced from - 14.31 dB to - 41.51 dB.
