Non-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites

COI Ceramics, Inc. (COIC) is a leading developer and manufacturer of non-oxide ceramic matrix composites, produced using the Polymer Infiltration & Pyrolysis (PIP) process. This process is a versatile and robust manufacturing method that is well-suited for the fabrication of complex-shaped components. The PIP process takes advantage of the shaping capability afforded by a combination of polymeric and ceramic process steps.

COIC offers a number of non-oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) materials that incorporate various types of Silicon Carbide (SiC) and carbon reinforcing fibers, SiC/Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) matrix chemistries, and matrix modifiers. By selecting various combinations of these constituents, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) can be produced with tailored properties for a broad range of industries and applications. Typically, constituents are chosen based on application-specific operating conditions such as temperature, environment, mechanical stresses, and lifetime requirements.
