Si-3N4f/SiO2 and Si-3N4f/Si ONc/SiO2 composites were prepared by sol-gel method to explore the influence of Si ON coating on the mechanical properties of composites.The results show that with the protection of Si ON coating, Si-3N4fiber enjoys a strength increase of up to 24.1% and Si-3N4f/Si ONc/SiO2 composites have a tensile strength of 170.5 MPa and a modulus of26.9 GPa, respectively. After 1000℃ annealing in air for 1 h, Si-3N4f/Si ONc/SiO2 composites retain 65.0%of their original strength and show a better toughness than Si-3N4f/SiO2 composites. The improvement of mechanical properties is attributing to the healing effect of Si ON coating as well as its intermediate coefficient of thermal expansion between Si-3N4fiber and SiO2 matrix.展开更多

文摘In order to modify the interface, Si ON coating was introduced on the surface of silicon nitride fiber by perhydropolysilazane conversion method. Si-3N4f/SiO2 and Si-3N4f/Si ONc/SiO2 composites were prepared by sol-gel method to explore the influence of Si ON coating on the mechanical properties of composites.The results show that with the protection of Si ON coating, Si-3N4fiber enjoys a strength increase of up to 24.1% and Si-3N4f/Si ONc/SiO2 composites have a tensile strength of 170.5 MPa and a modulus of26.9 GPa, respectively. After 1000℃ annealing in air for 1 h, Si-3N4f/Si ONc/SiO2 composites retain 65.0%of their original strength and show a better toughness than Si-3N4f/SiO2 composites. The improvement of mechanical properties is attributing to the healing effect of Si ON coating as well as its intermediate coefficient of thermal expansion between Si-3N4fiber and SiO2 matrix.
