Design and Performance of Biologic Ceramics Based on Ordinary Paper

Porous composite ceramics was manufactured from ordinary paper by sol-gel techniques, and SiC/Si ceramics composite with laminated or tubular structure were also prepared by biomimetic design. The results show that the amorphous carbon remained after carbonizing of the ceramic paper had changed into β-SiC after silicon infiltrating in the vacuum environment. The bending strength of SiC/Si ceramic composite was up to 200MPa, and it behaved as non-catastrophic fracture behavior.
