TL;DR: Silicon nitride has been researched intensively, largely in response to the challenge to develop internal combustion engines with hot-zone components made entirely from ceramics as mentioned in this paper, but this research effort has succeeded in generating a degree of understanding of silicon nitride and of its processing and properties.
Abstract: Silicon nitride has been researched intensively, largely in response to the challenge to develop internal combustion engines with hot-zone components made entirely from ceramics. The ceramic engine programs have had only partial success, but this research effort has succeeded in generating a degree of understanding of silicon nitride and of its processing and properties, which in many respects is more advanced than of more widely used technical ceramics. This review examines from the historical standpoint the development of silicon nitride and of its processing into a range of high-grade ceramic materials. The development of understanding of microstructure–property relationships in the silicon nitride materials is also surveyed. Because silicon nitride has close relationships with the SiAlON group of materials, it is impossible to discuss the one without some reference to the other, and a brief mention of the development of the SiAlONs is included for completeness.

TL;DR: Sialons as mentioned in this paper are phases in the Si-Al-O-N and related systems and are comparable in variety and diversity with the mineral silicates, and are built up of one-, two-, and threedimensional arrangements of (Si, Al) (O, N)4 tetrahedra.
Abstract: Although silicon nitride is at present a leading contender for gas turbines and other hightemperature engineering applications, it is only the first of a wide field of nitrogen ceramics, other members of which offer better prospects for technological exploitation. “Sialons” are phases in the Si-Al-O-N and related systems and are comparable in variety and diversity with the mineral silicates. They are built up of one-, two-, and threedimensional arrangements of (Si, Al) (O, N)4 tetrahedra in the same way that the fundamental structural unit in the silicates is the SiO4 tetrahedron. These new oxynitrides include structure types based uponα andΒ silicon nitrides, silicon oxynitride, aluminium nitride and silicon carbide, eucryptite, spinel, melilite and apatite. They are being explored for their thermal, mechanical, chemical and electrical properties.

TL;DR: The Third International Conference on Ultrastructure Processing of Ceramics, Glasses, and Composites held in San Diego in February 1987 as discussed by the authors was devoted to precursors and chemistry for ultrastructure processing; sol-gel science and technology; powders and colloids; advanced ceramics; and composites, new materials, and techniques.
Abstract: Experimental investigations and applications of advanced ceramics are discussed in reviews and reports presented at the Third International Conference on Ultrastructure Processing of Ceramics, Glasses, and Composites held in San Diego in February 1987. Sections are devoted to precursors and chemistry for ultrastructure processing; sol-gel science and technology; powders and colloids; advanced ceramics; and composites, new materials, and techniques. Particular attention is given to silicon oxynitride and sialon ceramics from organosilicon powders, fluoropolymer-modified silicate glasses, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy of rapid sol-gel processes, a low-temperature route to high-purity Ti/Zr/Hf diboride powders and films, and sol-gel methods for SiO2 optical-fiber coatings. Diagrams, drawings, graphs, micrographs, and tables of numerical data are included.
