CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

An innovative high-strength ceramic consists of interlocked, nanometre-scale plates in which stacked layers of the material are twisted relative to each other. It can deform at room temperature ...

Smooth and dense SiHfBCN ceramic coating via the PDC approach was fabricated successfully and the performance was systematically studied. The composition shows interesting microstructural evolution ...
