Abstract
Carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) reinforced Si3N4 ceramics has been prepared by incorporating CNTF preforms into ceramic precursor and followed by the sintering process. A SiC interface layer is formed due to the chemical reaction between Si and CNTs, leading to a good bonding between CNTs and Si3N4 matrix. Due to the ceramic deposition, the oxidation resistance is increased of 200 °C. Furthermore, the CNTs have well orientation and high-volume distribution (7 wt%) in the hybrid composites. Obvious improvements of the electrical conductivity (up to 103 S/m) and the microwave absorbing performance (up to 6 dB at 15 GHz) are obtained for the composites containing CNTFs. Our work provides a meaningful way to fabricate multifunctional ceramics possessing high electrical and microwave absorbind properties.
