· JVASP-13087· Si2CN4

Si₂CN₄ is a silicon carbonitride ceramic compound that combines silicon, carbon, and nitrogen to form a high-performance structural ceramic. This material belongs to the family of non-oxide ceramics and is primarily of research and advanced development interest, valued for its potential combination of thermal stability, hardness, and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. Silicon carbonitrides are candidates for extreme-environment applications where traditional silicon nitride or silicon carbide may have limitations, particularly in aerospace propulsion systems and thermal protection where lightweight ceramics with superior creep resistance are required.
