Download or read book Polymer Derived Silicon Carbide Ceramics for Nuclear Applications written by Shelly Arreguin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next generation of nuclear fission and fusion reactors depends upon the development of high performance structural materials. Silicon carbide (SiC) is being considered for a variety of nuclear reactor components because it possesses outstanding physical and chemical properties, including: high thermal conductivity, high temperature stability, chemical inertness, extreme hardness and small neutron capture cross-section. However, when exposed to energetic particles, SiC is observed to experience various radiation induced defects such as: vacancy clusters, dislocation loops and network dislocations at lower temperatures and swelling of the material causing voids/cavities at higher temperatures. Recent studies have shown nanostructured interfaces and nanoscale grains are more radiation damage tolerant. Polymer derived ceramics (PDCs) provide a unique route to develop SiC ceramics with nanostructural features that can help mitigate radiation defects. A novel class of SiC ceramics with controlled microstructures has been developed through tailoring of the molecular architecture of the starting precursor (allylhydridopolycarbosilane, Starfire® SMP-10). Nanostructural features in the form of graphene layers were incorporated via excess carbon from the addition of divinylbenzene (0-5 wt%) to the liquid SMP-10. It was observed that with increasing concentration of carbon, the 6H SiC (hexagonal) phase formed at the expense of 3C SiC (cubic). The utilization of PDCs also made possible the addition of sintering additives at the molecular level through a hydroboration reaction of SMP-10 with decaborane. This allowed the boron additives to be contained within the SiC grains, as opposed to on the grain boundaries, as is observed in traditional ceramic processing. Finally, these materials were irradiated using ion accelerator facilities located at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. AFM results indicate that utilizing PDC processing routes vs. traditional ceramic routes yielded a significant decrease in the amount of swelling from point defect accumulation due to radiation bombardment. This research contributes to current priorities in designing materials for the next generation of nuclear power plants that are anticipated to have minimal waste, decreased risk of proliferation and increased accident damage tolerance.

Download or read book Smart Ceramics written by Ajay Kumar Mishra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in nanotechnology have paved the way for the development of new smart materials. The term "smart ceramics" refers to ceramic materials fabricated from ultrafine particles. They have attracted the attention of researchers and scientists thanks to their potential to manipulate the length scale in the nanorange, leading to better and some unusual material properties. Smart ceramics ensure control of particle size, surface contamination, and degree of agglomeration. They play a crucial role in challenging applications such as bone surgery (e.g., the development of substitutes for load-bearing bone parts) and in biomedical science, especially in tissue engineering, dental applications, and drug and antigen delivery using modified ceramics. Porous nanostructured ceramics have potential use in both simple and complex applications, such as bioimaging, sensors, paints and pigments, optics, and electronics, because of their surface- and size-dependent properties. For the synthesis of smart ceramics, the sol-gel route has been mainly utilized because of its ability to produce a large variety of compositions and to ensure homogeneous mixing of the constituent particles at low temperature. This book describes the innovations in technologies through the development of functionalized ceramic materials for various applications. It also describes recent and expected challenges, along with their potential solutions, in advanced techniques for the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured ceramics and their composites: bioceramics, bioactive ceramics, multifunctional nanoceramics, transparent ceramics, nanocore shells, nanowires, thin films, nanotubes, and nanorods. The applications include the environment, health care, electrochemical sensors, high-temperature superconductors, nuclear reactor fuels, electrical insulators, refractory materials, electrical transformers, and magnetic core memory. The book will benefit researchers, scientists, engineers, and technologists working in the industry and in national and international research laboratories; academics who are interested in traditional and advanced smart ceramic composites; and students pursuing their postgraduate, graduate, and undergraduate degrees in smart ceramics, nanomaterials, nanoscience, and engineering.

This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer-derived ceramics possess great advantages in the view of cellular ceramic processing compared to traditional powder-based technologies, as the polymeric nature of ceramic precursors allows the utilization of various shaping approaches. Amongst them, Additive Manufacturing and Freeze Casting are two novel shaping methods, which are capable of producing three-dimensional complex architectures and foams with well-controlled pore morphology, respectively. In this thesis, photoinduced thiol-ene polymerization of vinyl containing preceramic polymers with thiol monomers is systematically investigated, both from the energetic view and from the kinetic view. Subsequently, a novel stereolithographic approach is developed and applied to the additive manufacturing of complex-shaped polymer-derived ceramics. In addition, photopolymerization-assisted freeze casting is successfully developed to freeze cast liquid preceramic polymer and yields porous ceramics with well-controlled pore morphology. Polymerabgeleitete Keramiken besitzen große Vorteile im Hinblick auf den Verarbeitungsprozess von zellularen Keramiken im Vergleich zu traditionellen pulverbasierten Technologien, da der polymere Ursprung der Ausgangsstoffe für die Keramik die Nutzung verschiedener Formgebungsmethoden ermöglicht. Additive Fertigung und Gefriergießen sind zwei neuartige Formgebungsverfahren, die jeweils in der Lage sind, komplexe dreidimensionale Geometrien sowie Schäume mit einer kontrollierten Porenmorphologie zu produzieren. In dieser Arbeit wird die photoinduzierte Thiol-En-Polymerisation von prekeramischen Polymeren, die Vinyl und Thiol-Monomere enthalten, systematisch und sowohl aus energetischer als auch aus kinetischer Hinsicht untersucht. Im Folgenden wird ein neuartiger stereolithografischer Ansatz entwickelt und auf die additive Fertigung von polymerabgeleiteten Keramiken komplexer Gestalt angewendet. Zusätzlich wird photopolymerisierungsunterstütztes Gefriergießen erfolgreich entwickelt, um flüssige prekeramische Polymere gefrierzugießen und poröse Keramiken mit einer definierten Porenmorphologie zu erzeugen.
