Wood‐based SiSiC ceramics with isotropic mechanical behavior were produced from commercial wood‐based composites (e.g., fiber boards). Properties can be tuned by the compression of the starting material, and by the content of added phenolic resin, which influences pore density and the amount of SiC infiltrated. In turn, the abundance of SiC versus residual silicon and carbon in the product determines its mechanical strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
