Abstract

SiCN-based ceramics with broadband and strong microwave absorption properties are desired for the structural and functional integration of ceramic matrix composites. The elemental composition and thermal expansion coefficients of the ceramics matrix crucially affect its microstructure and electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption properties. BN layer with lower electrical conductivity and higher specific area, exhibits both the impedance matching characteristic and EMW attenuation in the process of multiple reflections, electrical conductivity loss, dipole polarization and interfacial polarization. Therefore, Si3N4-BN-SiCN ceramics, which were synthesized using chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) method, construct unique hetero-interface of Si3N4-BN, Si3N4–SiCN and BN-SiCN. Therefore, the Si3N4-BN-SiCN ceramics have outstanding EMW absorption performance and realize an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) that covers the whole X band and the minimum reflection coefficient (RC) reaches -18.43 dB at a thickness of 3.37 mm.
