Abstract
A print and fusion process is used to fabricate ceramic elements that are subsequently utilized to generate a composite including a fibrous mat and discrete ceramic elements. The composite may include a substrate and a flexible or rigid non-ceramic composition between the discrete ceramic elements and/or the substrate. A ceramic ink preferably partially penetrates the fibrous mat to form the discrete elements or a continuous layer.
