Improve The Mechanical Properties Of Ceramic Matrix Composites

These drawbacks are addressed by the use of fibre reinforcement in ceramic matrix composites.

Improve the mechanical properties of ceramic matrix composites.

Advanced ceramics exhibit a combination of properties. Mwcnts as conductive fillers were used to improve the dielectric properties of pla composites. Graphene addition is an effective way to elevate the mechanical properties of composite ceramics especially with respect to toughness. In this study ema gma as epoxy containing elastomer was used to improve mechanical properties of pla.

The addition of cnfs to the ceramic matrix caused a slight deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composite but its electrical conductivity improved significantly. Properties of ceramic matrix composites. The reinforcements used in ceramic matrix composites cmc serve to enhance the fracture toughness of the combined material system while still taking advantage of the inherent high strength and young s modulus of the ceramic matrix. Cmcs are designed to overcome the main drawback of monolithic ceramics namely their brittleness.

Conventional ceramics have limited thermal shock resistance and low fracture toughness. Mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites depend on a properties of constituents b interface strength c fiber length orientation and volume fraction d all the above 10. Ils were used to disperse mwcnts and catalyze the ring opening of epoxy groups of ema gma to improve interfacial tension and adhesion.

For graphene al 2 o 3 composite ceramics the 28 33 and 53 increase in fracture toughness values were reported for the composites filled with 0 8 vol 0 22 wt and 2 0 wt graphene. High thermal shock and creep resistance. High strength at elevated temperature high hardness good corrosion and erosion behaviour high elastic modulus low density and generally low coefficients of friction that make them potential candidates for many structural applications. It is well known that iron iiii oxide has good mechanical properties including high fracture strength and high fracture toughness so it could be added to ceramic matrix as the second phase to improve the fracture behavior of composite ceramics and it can be also more efficient if it is used in the form of nano particles adebayo et al 2020.

In addition the graphene addition also plays an important role in the electrical properties of composite ceramics. Common properties of ceramic matrix composites are 3. Ceramic matrix composites cmcs generally consist of ceramic fibers or whiskers in a ceramic matrix.
