Summary

Ceramic composites derived from biological structures by rapid, high- temperature conversion (biotemplating) represents a novel technology of advanced composite processing. The processing principles of biotemplating technologies will be presented: infiltration of liquid and gaseous Si into carbonized wood preforms to form SiSiC and SiC ceramics, infiltration of polymer/filler suspensions into preformed coirugated cardboard structures and conversion into ceramic composites. The resulting ceramic structures and composites exhibit unique macro- and microscopic cellular morphologies and show low density, high stiffness and excellent high temperature stability.
