Al Nasiri N, Patra N, Horlait D, et al., 2016, Thermal properties of rare-earth monosilicates for EBC on Si-based ceramic composites, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Vol: 99, Pages: 589-596, ISSN: 0002-7820
Rare-earth (RE) monosilicates are promising candidates as environmental barrier coating (EBC) materials for ceramic matrix composites for aerospace applications. Five rare-earth monosilicate materials have been investigated: Y2SiO5, Gd2SiO5, Er2SiO5, Yb2SiO5, and Lu2SiO5 produced from RE oxides and silica starting materials pressed and sintered at 1580°C under flowing air. Relative densities above 94% were obtained for all samples and ceramics were made containing 85–100 wt% of the RE monosilicate according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) with RE disilicates as the second phase in the Gd, Yb, and Lu silicate systems. Microstructures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and XRD, and thermal properties measured including specific heat, thermal expansion, and thermal diffusivity. For the first time, specific heat capacity values are reported for the monosilicates [0.45–0.69 J·(g·K)−1]. Thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) of the dense samples ranged between 5.9 and 10.3 × 10−6 K−1 measured for 473 to 1473 K. All EBCs have low thermal conductivities [1.8 W·(m·K)−1 or less] making them excellent EBC insulators.

Patra N, Al Nasiri N, Jayaseelan DD, et al., 2015, Low-temperature solution synthesis of nanosized hafnium carbide using pectin, Ceramics International, Vol: 42, Pages: 1959-1963, ISSN: 0272-8842
Nano-sized hafnium carbide was synthesized from organic–inorganic hybrid polymer based on polycondensation and carbothermal reduction reaction from pectin and hafnium tetrachloride followed by thermal treatment. Orthorhombic and monoclinic hafnia formed on pyrolysis which above 1300 °C transformed to hafnium carbide. Conversion of amorphous to crystalline hafnia was initiated at ~800 °C while the endothermic carbothermal reduction reaction started at ~1275 °C. Total yield of hafnium carbide was ~62%. The resulting carbide powders were equiaxed with narrow size distribution of crystallite size ~50 nm. SEM and EDX mapping confirm the uniform distribution of Hf and C. The high ceramic yield, uniform size particles, and simplicity of the process make it a promising route for polymer infiltration pyrolysis of carbon fiber/ultra high temperature composites.

A precursor of a zirconium diboride/silicon carbide (ZrB2/SiC) composite was synthesised via an organic–inorganic hybrid derived from gum karaya, tetraethyl orthosilicate, boric acid and zirconyl chloride starting materials. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the as-synthesised dried hybrid revealed the formation of Si–O, Zr–O–C and B–O–B. X-ray diffraction revealed that the powder consists of only ZrB2 and β-SiC. Scanning electron microscopy and TEM of the composite powders showed that SiC and ZrB2 occurred in intimately mixed aggregates of spheroidal submicron sized particles for low (3M) boric acid concentration, while at high (5M) boric acid concentration, the two phases are larger with the ZrB2 adopting a blocky, angular morphology (∼10–30 μm long by 5 μm wide and thick), while the SiC remains spheroidal with ∼1 μm diameter particles in 10–20 μm diameter aggregates. Thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis with the help of X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the formation temperature was low at 1275°C for ZrB2 and 1350°C for the SiC with 40 wt-% yield.

Zapata-Solvas E, Jayaseelan DD, Brown PM, et al., 2014, Effect of La2O3 addition on long-term oxidation kinetics of ZrB2-SiC and HfB2-SiC ultra-high temperature ceramics, Journal of the European Ceramic Society, Vol: 34, Pages: 3535-3548, ISSN: 0955-2219
Long-term oxidation kinetics of SiC-reinforced UHTCs and La2O3-doped UHTCs over an intermediate temperature range (1400–1600 °C) reveal partially protective behavior for the former characterized by an oxidation kinetic exponent 1 < n < 2. In addition, unstable oxidation behavior was observed in HfB2-based UHTCs due to the presence of SiC agglomerates. On the other hand, La2O3-doped UHTCs were found to be protective over the whole temperature range studied (n = 2), in particular at 1600 °C, where oxidation kinetic exponents as high as 8 were observed as a consequence of formation of new oxidation protective particles, MeOxCy, where Me is Zr, Hf or Si. Adsorption of oxygen-containing species formed protective MeOxCy phases, which enhanced the thermal stability of the oxide scale as well as providing protection against oxidation for long exposure times at 1600 °C.
Patra N, Jayaseelan DD, Lee WE, 2014, Synthesis of Biopolymer-Derived Zirconium Carbide Powder by Facile One-Pot Reaction, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Vol: 98, Pages: 71-77, ISSN: 1551-2916
Zirconium carbide (ZrC) was synthesized by polycondensation and carbothermal reduction reactions from an organic–inorganic hybrid complex. A natural biopolymer Gum Karaya (GK) and zirconyl oxychloride octahydrate (ZOO) were used as the sources of carbon and zirconium, respectively. FTIR of as-synthesized dried complexes revealed formation of Zr–O. Pyrolysis of the complexes at 1200°C/1 h under argon resulted in tetragonal and monoclinic zirconia which after heat treatment at 1400°C–1550°C transformed to zirconium carbide. Thermal analysis shows that the GK–ZOO complexes lost less mass than the pristine GK to 600°C. The intensity of exothermic decomposition decreases and shifted to higher temperature for the hybrid complexes indicating that zirconia induced thermal stability. A maximum ZrC yield of ~60 wt% is obtained for the intermediate GK–ZOO ratio of 1:2. Particles pyrolyzed for 1 h at 1550°C were coarser (5–10 μm) with flakes for lower GK–ZOO weight ratio, but were spheroidal with narrow size distribution (~1 μm) with increasing GK–ZOO weight ratio.

Zapata-Solvasa E, Jayaseelan DD, Brown PM, et al., 2013, Thermal properties of La2O3-doped ZrB2- and HfB2-based ultra-high temperature ceramics
Thermal properties of La2O3-doped ZrB2- and HfB2-based ultra high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) have been measured at temperatures from room temperature to 2000 °C and compared with SiC-doped ZrB2- and HfB2-based UHTCs and monolithic ZrB2 and HfB2. Thermal conductivities of La2O3-doped UHTCs remain constant around 55–60 W/mK from 1500 °C to 1900 °C while SiC-doped UHTCs showed a trend to decreasing values over this range.
