Laminated biomorphous SiC/Si porous ceramics made from wood veneer
Graphical abstract Biomorphous SiC/Si porous ceramics has a clearly laminated structure, its micropore range from 1–10μm which retain the wood’s native characteristics. Retreatment process is a key factor which influence the free silicon content in the composites and lead to affect the basic characteristic. Crack deflection occur in the flaws, pores and weak interfaces, these allow continuous add loads and show progressive failure behavior: a step-like load–displacement response, it has high fracture toughness. Display Omitted Highlights ► Laminated SiC/Si porous ceramics make from wood veneer and Si with a bionic design. ► It has laminated structure, and still retains wood’s biomorphous characterization. ► Its excellent mechanical strength connects with laminated and biological structure. ► Nobody discussed this material before.
Abstract Biomorphous SiC/Si porous ceramics with laminated structure are prepared from beech veneer and phenolic resin. The preparation involves carbonization under vacuum and reaction with melted silicon to obtain the biomorphous carbide template. X-ray diffraction confirms that the biomorphous SiC/Si porous ceramics are mainly composed of β-SiC, free silicon and residual carbon. Scanning election microscopy observations indicate a laminated structure and 1–10μm microporous structures, which suggest retention of the native characteristics of the wood. This paper examines mechanical properties of the final composite in relation to the lamination, porous structure, and free silicon content. The bending strength of the ceramics decreases as the apparent porosity increases. The fracture toughness increases initially with apparent density and then decreases. The fracture toughness load–displacement curve presents a step-like pattern, which suggests that the laminated SiC/Si porous ceramics have high fracture toughness.
