This research presents a simple method to additively manufacture Cone 5 porcelain clay ceramics by using the direct ink-write (DIW) printing technique. DIW has allowed application of extruding highly viscous ceramic materials with relatively high-quality and good mechanical properties, which additionally allows freedom design capability manufacturing complex geometrical shapes. Clay particles were mixed deionized (DI) water at different ratios, where most suitable composition for 3D was...

Fiber-reinforced thermoset composites are a class of materials that address the arising needs from aerospace and hypersonic industries for high specific strength, temperature-resistant structural materials. Among high-temperature resistant categories, phenolic triazine (PT) cyanate esters stand out thanks to their inherent degradation temperature, glass transition mechanical strength. Despite outstanding properties these thermosets, performance carbon fiber using PT as matrices has not been...

Abstract Ultra–high‐temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are valued for their extremely high melting temperatures and resistance to active oxidation. However, low fracture strengths the difficulties in shaping them into complex geometries hamper widespread application. This study aims fabricate zirconium diboride–silicon carbide (ZrB 2 ‐SiC) composites reinforced with aligned SiC fibers by formulating suspensions containing a preceramic polymer, ZrB , fibers. assessed influence of fiber alignment on...
