Structural Design and Performance of the New SiC Composites

Caption

This diagram summarizes the design strategy and superior performance of the newly developed dual-phase SiC composite (DS@4MBNS). The top schematic illustrates the fabrication of a dense, reinforced structure designed for efficient microwave absorption and simultaneous mechanical toughening through mechanisms like crack deflection and bridging. The radar chart (bottom left) highlights how DS@4MBNS (marked by the red star) breaks conventional material trade-offs, achieving an unprecedented balance of high flexural strength, fracture toughness, and electromagnetic absorption compared to other SiC-based ceramics. The charts on the bottom right quantify the significant improvements in minimum reflection loss and wider effective absorption bandwidth.
