Abstract
Tough ceramic products can be prepared without exotic pressure fabricating techniques by use of a matrix laminate comprising a continuous fiber ceramic reinforcement in tow or woven form for strength, stiffness, and toughness and a ceramic matrix generally comprising (a) a filler, such as mullite; (b) ceramic reinforcing whiskers, such as silicon nitride or silicon carbide, for fine-scale interlaminar shear resistance (c) a binder, such as colloidal silica; and (d) an activator, such as a trona-like material including sodium and carbonate. The matrix is brushed into the fiber reinforcement, which is then laid up, dried, and cured. Tandem ceramic composites can be fabricated.
