摘要: A composite tape and method of fabrication are provided which includes multiple layers and a laser-driven chemical vapor deposition (LCVD)-formed additive material in at least one layer of the multiple layers to enhance one or more properties of the composite tape. The LCVD-formed additive material is a single crystalline material and can include LCVD-formed granular material and/or LCVD-formed fiber material in the same or different layers of the composite tape to enhance, for instance, fracture strength and/or wear resistance of the composite tape.

摘要: A multi-component or ‘composite’ inorganic fiber comprising a nano-scale contiguous collection of a plurality of packed unique phases of material randomly interspersed throughout the fiber body, without unwanted impurities, and a method for producing same. Said phases include three or more foundational chemical elements from the Periodic Table mixed together during fiber production, producing distinct material phases interspersed throughout the fiber volume.

摘要: A non-woven fabric is provided which includes a three-dimensional array of fibers. The three-dimensional array of fibers includes an array of standing fibers extending perpendicular to a plane of the non-woven fabric and attached to a base substrate, where the base substrate is one or more of an expendable film substrate, a metal base substrate, or a mandrel substrate. Further, the three-dimensional array of fibers includes multiple layers of non-woven parallel fibers running parallel to the plane of the non-woven fiber in between the array of standing fibers in a defined pattern of fiber layer orientations. In implementation, the array of standing fibers are grown to extend from the base substrate using laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD).

A high performance fiber (HPF) structure, including a plurality of fibers arranged in the structure; a matrix disposed between the fibers; wherein a multilayer coating is provided along the surfaces of at least some of the fibers with an inner layer region having a sheet-like strength; and an outer layer region, having a particle-like strength, such that any cracks propagating toward the outer layer from the matrix propagate along the outer layer and back into the matrix, thereby preventing the cracks from approaching the fibers. A method of forming an interphase in a ceramic matrix composite material having a plurality of SiC fibers, which maximizes toughness by minimizing fiber to fiber bridging, including arranging a plurality of SiC fibers into a preform; selectively removing (e.g., etching) silicon out of the surface of the fibers resulting in a porous carbon layer on the fibers; and replacing the porous carbon layer with an interphase layer (e.g., Boron Nitride), which coats the fibers to thereby minimize fiber to fiber bridging in the preform.
