Summary: This paper analyzes the influence of hard and soft admixture on the functional properties of multiferroic ceramic composites. Two composite materials were synthesized via solid-state reaction route, with PZT-type materials as the ferroelectric component and nickel-zinc ferrite as the magnetic component. It is found that the type of doping (soft vs hard admixture) has significant effects on the dielectric, ferroelectric, electromechanical, magnetic, and magnetoelectric properties of the composites. PZT with a soft admixture shows advantages in terms of effective polarization and high magnetoelectric effect, while PZT with a hard admixture demonstrates better stability of physical parameters.

Summary: The research presents a new method for producing multiferroic ceramic composites by connecting two ferroelectric ceramic materials, PBZrTiO3-based (P) and BaTiO3 (B), and zinc-nickel ferrite (F) in equal amounts. The goal of the experiment is to enhance the ferroelectric performance of the composites through pressureless sintering. Three different BPF composites with varying ferroelectric/magnetic content (95/05, 90/10, 85/15) were obtained. The crystal structure, electrical behaviors, dielectric, ferroelectric, and magnetic characteristics of the composites were extensively studied. The results demonstrate that using two ferroelectric materials improves the ferroelectric properties of the composites, with high saturation in ferroelectric hysteresis loops and high electrical breakdown strength.

Summary: A SiC-SiO2/3Al(2)O(3)·2SiO2 composite ceramic was prepared with enhanced EMW absorption properties using CVI technique. SiC nanocrystals were introduced to improve the weak EMW absorption performances of pure SiO2/3Al(2)O(3)·2SiO2 ceramic, with the optimal content found to be 77.1 wt%. The mechanisms of EMW consumptions in the composite ceramics include Debye relaxation, dipole polarization, interfacial polarization, multi-reflection, multi-scattering, and conductivity loss.

Summary: A new interface fracture test was developed for ceramic environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) on ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) by simplifying specimen preparation process. The test method involves using an asymmetric double cantilever beam (ADCB) specimen with a stiffener and wedge insertion to measure interface toughness. The results show good agreement with previous studies and demonstrate good validity and controllability by adjusting the notch position.

Summary: This manuscript presents an innovative approach for preparing TiAl matrix composites. By introducing mixed AlNb and B4C powder into TiAlNb alloy melt after ball milling, hybrid Ti2AlCw and NbC@TiBx core shell structures with high dispersion and good interface bonding were successfully synthesized. The in-situ reactions in AlNb/B4C powders and TiAlNb alloy melt contributed to the formation of NbC@TiBx structures and Ti2AlC whiskers, which exhibited excellent interfacial bonding with the TiAl matrix. The resulting TiAlNb composite exhibited improved mechanical properties due to the combination of multiple strengthening and toughening mechanisms. Room and high temperature compression tests demonstrated increased fracture stress and strain for the composite compared to the alloy.

Summary: In this study, a Ni/PDCs/biomass ceramic composite absorbing material was prepared using a simple suspension impregnation-in-situ reduction carbonization process. The composite exhibited a hierarchical porous structure, which provided a large number of heterogeneous interfaces and enhanced interface polarization, dipole polarization, and multiple reflection loss. The optimized sample showed good electromagnetic wave absorbing performance, with a minimum reflection loss of -66.38 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.54 GHz. This work presents a feasible scheme for enhancing the absorbing properties of biomass materials by adjusting their electromagnetic parameters through polymer conversion ceramics and metal oxides.
