FILLING IN A GAP IN THE PROPERTY PROFILE OF GLASSCOMPOSITES

摘要

This study describes the manufacturing and characterization of translucent glassmatrix composites with enhanced fracture strength. An improvement of fracture toughness is realizedby single (boron nitride) and double (boron nitride/titanium oxide) filament coatings, deposited byCVD. No significant influence of the coating technology on the fiber tensile strength was found. Thecomposites, manufactured by hotpressing, have shown a fracture strength up to 320 Mpa and anoptical transmittance of about 10-13%. The interface regions were examined by AFM, SEM and TEM.
