The matrix of silicon carbide (SiC) is sufficiently rigid and strong, but in order to fully realize its potential capabilities, it is necessary to reduce its fragility and increase its reliability when used under shock loading conditions, which is achieved by creating ceramic composites based on it. Zirconia (ZrO2) was chosen as a hardening additive, since it has very high resistance to crack propagation and thermal, electrical, optical, strength, and other properties. Stabilization of the cubic phase of zirconia ...

The aim of this work is to experimentally study the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers by catalytic pyrolysis of methane-hydrogen mixtures, as well as to develope a kinetic scheme that takes into account the accelerating and suppressing effect of hydrogen on pyrolysis. Carbon nanotubes were synthesized in a laboratory kinetic setup with a vertical quartz reactor at a temperature of 700?. The oxide system (Fe0.45Co0.15Al0.40)2O3 obtained by combustion method was taken as a catalyst. The hydrogen concentra...
