Summary: This study investigated the effects of sintering temperature and starting material compositions on the dielectric and electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) properties of high-density Si3N4-SiC ceramic nanocomposites. It was found that the real and imaginary permittivities of Si3N4-SiC ceramic nanocomposites increase with increasing sintering temperature or SiC content. This can be attributed to the improvement of interfacial and defect polarizations caused by nitrogen doping into the SiC nanocrystals. The study also concluded that Si3N4-SiC ceramic composites sintered at 1850 degrees C with 30 wt.% SiC and 5-8 wt.% sintering aids have both good EMA and mechanical properties.

Summary: Porous SiC-Si2N2O-Si3N4 composite ceramics with excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties were prepared using gelcasting and carbonthermal reduction techniques, resulting in improved bulk density, strength, and toughness. The in-situ generated SiC and Si2N2O fibers acted as microwave absorbent and reinforcing agent, enhancing the overall performance of the materials.

Summary: This study reports the X-band microwave absorbing properties of gelcasted SiC-Si3N4 ceramics with different hierarchical pore structures for the first time. The effects of pore structures, sample thickness, and temperature on the complex permittivity and microwave absorption performance of SiC-Si3N4 ceramics were systematically investigated. The results indicate that the introduction of appropriate hierarchical pore structure improves the absorbing performance of the material.

Summary: SiCN-based ceramics with broadband and strong microwave absorption properties exhibit outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption performance through the unique hetero-interface of Si3N4-BN, Si3N4-SiCN, and BN-SiCN in the ceramics synthesized using the CVI method. This leads to an effective absorption bandwidth covering the entire X-band.

Summary: In this study, porous SiC-Si3N4 composite ceramics with excellent EMW absorption performance were prepared by pre-oxidizing Si3N4 powders. The pre-oxidation improved rheological properties, suppressed pore defects, and enhanced mechanical and electromagnetic properties. The ceramics showed optimal EMW absorption properties and potential applications in EMW absorption fields.

Summary: SiC-Si3N4 composites were prepared by controlling the mixing ratios of Si and SiC powders and sintering temperatures. The composites sintered at 1450 degrees C exhibited the lowest porosity and absence of SiO2 phase. Hardness and flexural strength of the composites were strongly influenced by the alpha/beta-Si3N4 phase ratio.

Summary: The optical and electrical properties of SiC + Au and Si3N4 + Au thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering deposition and thermal annealing are investigated. The addition of gold increases the overall absorption and shifts the surface plasmon resonance peak towards larger wavelengths. The resistivity significantly reduces with increasing gold content in both types of films.

Summary: The interphase region significantly affects the dielectric properties of nanocomposites, especially at higher temperatures. Multiscale characterization reveals a correlation between interphase width and temperature. Additionally, a strong relationship is observed between interphase dielectric permittivity and NC breakdown strength.

Summary: Fiber coatings based on BN, BN/SiC, and BN/Si3N4 were optimized on Hi Nicalon type S SiC fibers, demonstrating high coverage and maintained tensile strength after thermal annealing. The coated fiber bundles showed only slight reductions in maximum tensile load compared to non-coated samples.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of Eu2O3 on the mechanical and dielectric properties of Si3N4-SiO2 composites. The addition of Eu2O3 reduced the flexural strength and increased the grain size and β phase concentration. With increasing mass fraction of Eu2O3, the average dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the samples also increased.

Summary: A novel porosity gradient structure is proposed to solve the shortcomings of traditional layered structure for broadband wave-transmitting applications. The key to design and fabrication lies in the precise turning of the relative permittivity of each layer and their simultaneous shrinkage during sintering. Different porosity porous BN/Si3N4 composites were prepared and exhibited low and similar shrinkage after sintering at 1900 degrees C. Moreover, the composites with different porosities showed excellent mechanical properties.
