In order to obtain the composites with the integration of structural and functional properties, Ti 3 SiC 2 is introduced into C/SiC due to its excellent damage tolerance and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. C/SiC-Ti 3 SiC 2 has the lower tensile strength, while the higher compressive strength than C/SiC. The penetration energy of C/SiC-Ti 3 SiC 2 in the impact experiment is improved at least three times than that of C/SiC, resulting from the improved damage tolerance. With the introduction of Ti 3 SiC 2 , the EMI shielding effectiveness increases from 31 to 41 dB in due to the increase of electrical conductivity. C/SiC-Ti 3 SiC 2 reveals the great potential as structural and functional materials based on the multi-functional properties.
