Abstract
- • (ZrO 2 -SiO 2) f /ZrB 2 -SiOC composites with a continuous multilayer structure have been prepared. • The continous multilayer structure design allows impedance matching and multiple electromagnetic wave attenuation within multi-period layers. • The composites have excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance, radar cross-section reduction and thermal insulation in dynamic heating environment. • The composites exhibit an effective absorbing bandwidth of 4.2 GHz, covering the entire X-band. To simultaneously improve the microwave absorption and thermal insulation properties of the ceramic materials for stealth high-speed vehicles, layered composites made of polymer-derived SiOC/ZrB 2 reinforced by ZrO 2 /SiO 2 fibers were reported in this work. The composites possess a continuous multilayer structure, which was fabricated via the precursor impregnation assisted by hot press curing and pyrolysis using the transparent ZrO 2 /SiO 2 fibers and polymer-derived SiOC and nano ZrB 2. The layered composites show an effective absorption band (EAB) of 4.2 GHz at a thickness of 2.9 mm and a minimum reflection loss of –59.34 dB. The exceptional electromagnetic (EM) wave attenuation capability is ascribed to the impedance matching as well as massive EM wave loss caused by the multilayers in which the nano ZrB 2 provides interfacial polarization and electrical conduction loss. With a design of the multi-curvature arch structure, a remarkable reduction of radar cross section can be achieved. Besides, the layered composites exhibit good oxidation resistance and thermal insulation when exposed to the dynamic heating environment, demonstrating the potential application in harsh environments used for multifunctional electromagnetic absorbing materials.
