Optimisation of fibre-matrix interface in ceramic matrix composite
Halasová, Martina ; Černý,, Martin (referee) ; Chlup, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis is concerned to the study of behaviour of fibre composites with ceramics matrix. The composite consists of pyrolysed polysiloxane matrix reinforced by ceramic fibre Nextel 720. Main aim of this work is optimisation of fibre matrix interface through the selection of suitable precursor of the matrix with respect to temperature stability, sufficient strength and reasonable fracture toughness. Samples of matrices were exposed to the long term heat treatment in the range 1100 – 1500 °C. The mechanical properties as hardness and indentation elastic modulus were determined after heat treatment. Selected precursors of matrices were used for composite fabrication. Elastic modulus and fracture toughness at room and elevated temperatures were studied. Discussion is dedicated to the description of changes in mechanical properties with respect to chemical processes taking place during high temperature exposition. Further, reasons of fracture behaviour of composite materials are discussed, and finally, gained knowledge and outlined possibilities of subsequent development are summarised.

Evaluation of properties of pyrolysed resins
Halasová, M. ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Strachota, Adam ; Černý, Martin ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The presented work describes mechanical properties of materials prepared by pyrolysis of polysiloxane resins. The polymeric precursors had different chemical composition. Materials under investigation are predetermined as a matrix for high temperature resistant long fibre composites. An instrumented hardness tester was employed for materials characterisation. The Vickers hardness, Martens hardness and indentation elastic modulus were the key parameters determined from the load-indentation depth curves. Influence of the mechanical properties on the ratio of T and D was established. Indents were observed by using confocal laser microscope.
