Abstract

A novel layered SiC/pyrolytic carbon (PyC) porous ceramic was synthesized from a nickel foam substrate via low-pressure chemical vapor infiltration (LPCVI) with SiCl3CH3-NH3-BCl3-H2-Ar. The microstructure and phase composition of the PyC deposited via Ni catalysis were investigated. In addition, the effect of the PyC content on the microstructure, conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of a two-layered SiC/PyC porous ceramic were discussed. Both the electrical conductivity (from 0.090 to 0.319 S/cm) and the total shielding effectiveness (from 19.2 to 29.0 dB) of the two-layer SiC/PyC porous ceramic (pore size: 200–400 µm) increased with the PyC content. The high-temperature shielding effectiveness of the sample showed an outstanding stability with temperature and remained nearly unchanged (only 2 dB variation) over the 25–600 °C temperature range.
