Demand continues to increase for ceramic matrix composites (CMC), which enable reduced weight and high performance at higher temperatures versus metals. This increases efficiency in engines, ...
Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Zhenyang and ZHANG Shudong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new type of ceramic fiber aerogels ...
The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics boast impressive strength and durability, but their inherent rigidity and brittleness have long hindered applications demanding flexibility, such as filters, sensors, ...
Carbon fiber-reinforced ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) matrix composites are extensively used in space shuttles and high-speed vehicles. However, these composites suffer from a lack of ...
GE Aviation’s two new plants will help to establish a supply chain for CMCs needed for rapidly expanding jet engine demand, in particular the LEAP turbofan engine. GE Aviation announced on Oct. 27 ...
