Metal/alloy matrices have been previously reinforced with ceramic nanoparticles, but such reinforcements tend to agglomerate, weak interfaces, and are expensive. Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) based composites can potentially overcome these shortcomings. These obtained from the preceramic polymers after pyrolysis. inexpensive, be fragmented nanoscale, pyrolyzed in-situ. Friction stir processin...
