US researchers have reported the effects of oxidation on the mechanical properties of ceramic matrix composites. Scientists at the University of Chicago at Illinois based their work on AlliedSignal's Blackglas, a silicon oxycarbide ceramic produced by pyrolysis of a preceramic polymer, reinforced with 3M's Nextel 312 fibre.

The ceramic matrix composites were produced using conventional polymer matrix composite fabrication techniques followed by conversion by means of p...
