Abstract:This paper describes the fabrication of high density (ρ ∼ 1.75 g/cc) composites containing a hybrid (carbon and boron nitride), or complete boron nitride matrix. The composites were reinforced with either chopped or 3D needled carbon fibers. The boron nitride was introduced via liquid infiltration of a borazine oligomer that can exhibit liquid crystallinity. The processing scheme was developed for the chopped carbon fiber/boron nitride matrix composites (C/BN) and later applied to the 3D carbon fiber reinforced/boron nitride matrix composites (3D C/BN). The hybrid matrix composites were produced by infiltrating the borazine oligomer into a low density 3D needled C/C composite to yield 3D C/C-BN. In addition to achieving high densities, the processing scheme yielded d002 spacings of 3.35 Å, which afforded boron nitride with excellent hydrolytic stability. The friction and wear properties of the composites were explored over the entire energy spectrum for aircraft braking using an inertial brake dynamometer. The C/BN composites outperformed both the previously reported C/C-BN and chopped fiber reinforced C/C. The high density 3D C/BN performed as well as both the 3D C/C and the C/BN. The 3D C/C-BN provided outstanding wear resistance, incurring nearly zero wear across the entire testing spectrum. The coefficient of friction was relatively stable with respect to energy level, varying from 0.2 to 0.3.
