Abstract

To obtain better electromagnetic wave absorbing property, it is vitally necessary to develop novel ceramics with not only high dielectric loss but also low dielectric constant. Si 3N 4-SiBC, a composite ceramic with such dielectric properties, was fabricated by infiltrating SiBC into porous Si 3N 4 ceramic via low pressure chemical vapor infiltration. The high dielectric loss and the low dielectric constant are attributed to the unique microstructure of SiBC, which also leads to a very excellent wave-absorbing property of Si 3N 4-SiBC ceramic, attaining a minimal reflection coefficient of -28dB. Besides, the Si 3N 4-SiBC ceramic also shows a high mechanical property. Therefore, the Si 3N 4-SiBC ceramic exhibits great potential as an excellent functional and structural ceramic.
