The SiC nws /SiC nanocomposites were in situ synthesized by using nickel carbon foam as catalyst and skeleton. This technique has a series of advantages including simple operation, low cost, and high efficiency. Due to the excellent microwave absorption and thermal properties of SiC nws , SiC nws /SiC nanocomposites possess excellent electromagnetic shielding performance with a high SE T value of 38.3 dB and good thermal properties with thermal conductivity of 13.77 ± 0.098 wm −1 k −1 at room temperature. Meanwhile, the bending strength of the nanocomposites is 110.9 ± 7.7 MPa. The friction coefficient of nanocomposites is about 0.26 with a wear speed of about 67 um 3 /s. Therefore, the nanocomposites integrate many advantages including lightweight (2.0 g/cm 3 ), excellent electromagnetic shielding, good heat conduction, high strength, and wear resistance.
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.
