Abstract
The liquid reactive processing of ceramic preforms is developing into a viable method for producing near-net-shape composites. The combined concepts of transport phenomena, interfacial phenomena, and reactivity will serve to improve the processing and minimize the cost of the end product. As the understanding of these concepts increases, the metal- and ceramic-matrix composites being designed will continue to grow in range, complexity, and utility.
