Surface Energy as an Indicator of Interfacial Mechanical Response
Abstract
Contact angles between silicon and a variety of silicon carbide-based fibers have been measured and correlated to the mechanical behavior of the fiber-matrix interface. Infiltration by the molten silicon into the fibers and/or reaction with excess carbon to form silicon carbide gives rise to low contact angles and high toughness interfaces. It is suggested that the high toughness of the interface is morphology-controlled.
