Materials with exceptional shock attenuating properties are chemically bonded ceramics having densities that range from 30 to 160 lb/cubic foot (0.48 to 2.56 g/cc) and porosities of 20% to 80%. The materials are chemically bonded ceramic composites based on Portland cement, silica fume, various hollow fillers, and may include a dispersing agent, any of a variety of fibers and water.

Materials for shock attenuation

The temperatures at which the cementitious composite materials described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,482,385 can be used as tool or mold materials are extended by a treatment which comprises heating said composite materials to a temperature sufficient to expel free and adsorbed water from the concrete portion of the cementitious composite and thereafter refilling the resulting pores with an organic monomer or prepolymer and then crosslinking said impregnant to form an organic polymeric network in the inorganic composite material.

Cementitious composite material with vacuum integrity at elevated

Friction materials intended to be used as brake shoes, brake pads, and other brake components, comprising a composite in which one or more friction modifiers is embedded in a high strength cement matrix. The matrix material exhibits a flexural strength of at least 1,500 psi, a compressive strength of at least about 15,000 psi and a flexural modulus of about 1.times.10.sup.6 psi.

Cementitious composite friction compositions

Cementitious composite materials having high strength, vacuum integrity, good thermal properties and low coefficient of thermal expansion are prepared from a mixture of

Cementitious composite material containing metal fiber

An improvement over the cementitious composite material described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,482,385 consists in replacing the stainless steel particles with graded silicon carbide particles. The resulting material has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion, a greater thermal conductivity and an increased surface abrasion resistance as compared to the material described in the patent and is a lighter weight material. These properties enhance its applicability to certain uses.

Cementitious composite material with silicon carbide aggregate

The strength of the stainless steel containing cementitious composite material of U.S. Pat. No. 4,482,385 is improved by curing it according to a specific schedule which includes the steps of curing in a mold, steam curing after demolding, slow drying and dry thermal curing.
