Progress in Si-Based Ceramic and Composites
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Silicon-based ceramics have become indispensable in many fields, from industrial automotive to aerospace to biomedical engineering. This progress is due to the 40 years of continuous research and developments of these high-performance materials. New information on processing parameters in different techniques as well as the microstructure–property relationship has lead to substantial improvements in performance and reliability for end-use aerospace structural, automotive, and functional applications, with lower cost. This Topic aims at addressing the recent developments in Si-based ceramic and composites. Si-based ceramics synthesis/processing, physicochemical properties, as well as current and prospective potential applications will be addressed. We would like to encourage the scientific community working in this area to contribute actively in the form of full articles, short communications, and reviews to this Topic.
The topics to be addressed are, e.g.,
- Synthesis/processing of Si-based ceramics and composites;
- Polymer derived Si-based ceramics and its composites;
- Additives and compounding of feedstocks;
- Sintering (conventional, spark plasma sintering, and pressure and magnetic field-assisted);
- Shaping of components (conventional and additive manufacturing);
- 3D printing (Si-based preceramics polymers and other methods);
- Characterization (microstructure, mechanical, thermomechanical, and oxidation properties);
- Applications of Si-based ceramics high-temperature structural applications.
