Matrix insertion methods

Matrices can be inserted in a variety of methods:

  • The classical ceramic route : slurry impregnation, then sintering
  • The Sol-gel route
  • The polymer route : Polymer Impregnation and Pyrolysis (PIP)
  • The liquid metal route : Liquid Silicon Infiltration (LSI), Reactive Metal Infiltration (RMI), …
  • The gas route : Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI)
