Abstract:
The invention provides composite materials comprising eucryptite particles distributed in a matrix material other than eucryptite. The matrix material may be a ceramic material such as an oxide ceramic. In an embodiment, the eucryptite particles are transformed from the β-phase to the ε-phase during fabrication of the composite. This phase transformation can enable a eucryptite-based transformation toughening mechanism.
