Aircraft engine manufacturers have spent years investigating exotic materials, in response to passenger, regulatory and cost pressures, that might reduce engine noise, emissions and specific fuel ...

What are Ceramic Matrix Composites? Composite materials typically consist of two components: a reinforcement part to provide mechanical strength and a matrix material that holds all the components ...

Delray Beach, FL,, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In terms of value, the Ceramic Matrix Composites Market is projected to grow from USD 12.0 billion in 2024 to USD 21.61 billion by 2030, at a CAGR ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

Demand continues to increase for ceramic matrix composites (CMC), which enable reduced weight and high performance at higher temperatures versus metals. This increases efficiency in engines, ...

CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

High-temperature ceramic matrix composites represent a critical class of materials engineered to withstand extreme thermal, mechanical and chemical stresses. These composites integrate ...

A quarter-century ago, the Department of Energy began a program to support U.S. development of ceramic matrix composites. In 2016 a new aircraft engine became the first widely deployed CMC-containing ...

Strategic materials essential for aerospace and hypersonic systems. This is how the National Composite Centre (NCC) defines ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). The organisation stresses the urgency of ...

It all started with an experiment on a domestic cooker… Frustrated by the cost and complexity of producing advanced thermal materials, engineers Danilo Di Salvo and Richard Grainger developed a ...

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials are made of coated ceramic fibers surrounded by a ceramic matrix. They are tough, lightweight and capable of withstanding temperatures 300-400 degrees F hotter ...
