Conclusion

The concept of developing new materials with prescribed properties based on ideas about "building" structures may be realized in creating ceramic composite materials. Creation of heterogeneous composite structures is the main path for achieving high crack resistance (a parameter which mainly governs the operating reliability of structural articles). These structures make it possible to realize energy-consuming processes of the dissipation of work for failure from external forces. The level of properties achieved (crack resistance above 300 N/mm3/2, strength above 500 N/mm2), and the high permissible operating temperatures make ceramic composite materials irreplaceable for a number of fields of technology. However, the main problems connected with the development of ceramic composites remain unresolved. These are problems for achieving the optimum structure and composition of the interface for components, thermal stability of reinforcing elements, the production cost of both fibers and composite materials, and obtaining highly compact matrices in composite materials reinforced with continuous fibers.
