| Abstract: | The effects of porosity on the electrical and thermal conductivities of porous SiC ceramics, containing Y2O3–AlN additives, were investigated. The porosity of the porous SiC ceramic could be controlled in the range of 28–64 % by adjusting the sacrificial template (polymer microbead) content (0–30 wt%) and sintering temperature (1800–2000 °C). Both electrical and thermal conductivities of the porous SiC ceramics decreased, from 7.7 to 1.7 Ω−1 cm−1 and from 37.9 to 5.8 W/(m·K), respectively, with the increase in porosity from 30 to 63 %. The porous SiC ceramic with a coarser microstructure exhibited higher electrical and thermal conductivities than those of the ceramic with a finer microstructure at the equivalent porosity because of the smaller number of grain boundaries per unit volume. The decoupling of the electrical conductivity from the thermal conductivity was possible to some extent by adjusting the sintering temperature, i.e., microstructure, of the porous SiC ceramic. |
