Potential application of ceramic matrix composites to aero-engine components
TLDR
In this paper, the potential application of ceramic matrix composites to aero-engine components is discussed, including combustors, nozzle flaps, bladed disks, and others.Abstract:
The present paper describes the potential application of ceramic matrix composites to aero-engine components by reviewing the related published papers and our experience in this field. It contains the material requirements for aero-engines, trends in aero-engine materials use, Japanese projects related to ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and potential application of CMCs to aero-engines, such as combustors, nozzle flaps, bladed disks and others. From the point of application to aero-engines, the remaining research and development issues are discussed to some extent. Material developments, particularly of the interface and fibers for high temperature, are still required and stressed.read more

Design, preparation and properties of non-oxide CMCs for application in engines and nuclear reactors: an overview
TL;DR: SiC-based ceramic matrix composites, consisting of carbon or SiC fibers embedded in a SiC-matrix, are tough ceramics when the fiber/matrix bonding is properly optimized through the use of a thin interphase.

Towards physical properties tailoring of carbon nanotubes-reinforced ceramic matrix composites
TL;DR: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been considered as a new promising reinforcement for ceramic matrix composites over the last decade, owing to their exceptional properties as mentioned in this paper, however, gaining further control over challenging CNTs dispersion is still an important issue with the aim of tailoring multifunctional properties of CNT-reinforced CMCs.
