Metallically Electrically Conductive Si-Ti-C-N Ceramics
The improved electrical and mechanical properties of this composite are: Final ceramic composite possesses an excellent electrical conductivity, about 17200 (ohm.m)-1, which is higher than some metals Fracture toughness and hardness moderately improved over pure SiC/Si3N4 composites
Commercial applications for this material include: Ruggedized circuitry substrates Electrically conductive components Advanced ceramics for aerospace and defense High temperature severe load conditions Cutting tools and wear components
A ceramics composite material with improved electrical and mechanical properties has been produced by researchers at the University of California, Davis during consolidation through an in situ reaction of amorphous polymer precursor-derived silicon carbon-nitride and nano-TiO2. Using novel powder preparation and consolidation techniques, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCN) and nanopowders of alumina are combined into a composite with remarkable properties. The final composite consists of silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and titanium carbonitride, all with nanocrystalline grain sizes. Images Electrical Conductivity at Room Temperature (S/m)
