T. Ebadzadeh et We. Lee, PROCESSING-MICROSTRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONS IN MULLITE-CORDIERITE COMPOSITES, Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 18(7), 1998, pp. 837-848
The complex interrelations between processing, microstructure and elec
trical and mechanical properties are considered for mullite-cordierite
composites. Fabrication procedures using mixed powders or routes base
d on sol-gel precursors are presented, along with the phase evolution,
densification and microstructural formation. Final microstructures (i
ncluding porosities and grain sizes) are correlated to the mechanical
(hardness, toughness and strength) and electrical (dielectric constant
) properties. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Limited. All rights reserved.
