Abstract

Shells are natural composites with outstanding mechanical properties, achieved through a combination of calcium carbonate flakes and organic layers arrangements. Here, inspired by the layered structure of shell pearl, we report a C_f/(PyC/SiC)_n composites with high residual strength and good anti-ablation properties prepared via one-step chemical vapor infiltration method. The layered biomimetic structure increased the sliding resistance induced by the clamping stress to promote cracks deflection at multi-layer interface, where multiple crack initiation at a PyC weak layer followed by crack deflection in a SiC tough layer. The flexural strength of as-prepared C_f/(PyC/SiC)₅ composite was significantly improved about 55.7 % in comparation to C_f/PyC/SiC composite. After ablation, the flexural strength of C_f/(PyC/SiC)₅ composite degraded by only 11.2 %, while that of C_f/PyC/SiC composite reduced about 32.4 %. This work is expected to provide insights for the preparation of high-performance carbon-based composites, with promising applications as thermal protection materials in aerodynamic heating environments.

多层增韧贝壳珍珠结构仿生碳基复合材料的残余力学性能

贝壳是一种具有优异机械性能的天然复合材料，通过碳酸钙薄片和有机层排列的结合而实现。本文以贝壳珍珠的层状结构为灵感，采用一步化学气相渗法制备了一种残余强度高、抗烧蚀性能好的Cf/(PyC/SiC)n复合材料。层状仿生结构增加了夹紧应力引起的滑动阻力，促进了多层界面处的裂纹偏转，其中PyC弱层处萌生多重裂纹，SiC韧层处出现裂纹偏转。与Cf/PyC/SiC复合材料相比，Cf/(PyC/SiC)5复合材料的抗弯强度显著提高了55.7%。烧蚀后，Cf/(PyC/SiC)5复合材料的抗弯强度仅下降11.2%，而Cf/PyC/SiC复合材料的抗弯强度下降约32.4%。这项工作有望为高性能碳基复合材料的制备提供见解，在气动加热环境中作为热防护材料具有广阔的应用前景。
