Abstract
The rapid manufacturing of lightweight SiC reflector mirrors has always posed a formidable challenge. We have successfully solved the problem of SiC slurry’s difficulty in vat photopolymerization by using highly transparent organic particles to construct the light channels for the first time. Through the integration of digital light processing with reaction sintering, we manufactured complex-structured SiC/Si reflector mirrors. Utilizing the light channels constructed with PMMA, ultraviolet light can effectively penetrate SiC slurry, thereby significantly enhancing the curing depth. During subsequent reaction sintering, PMMA particles induce the formation of numerous spherical silicon through dissolution-precipitation mechanism, alleviating stress concentration in the matrix and enhancing the flexural strength of SiC/Si ceramics. The method achieves significantly higher curing depth for SiC slurry and greater flexural strength for ceramic compared to similar materials. Extending the success above further, we have demonstrated their potential as high-quality products for practical applications.
