Lightweight SiC-ZrB2 porous ceramics is of great potential as thermal insulation material used in aerospace, chemical and energy industries. In this work, a series of SiC bonded ZrB2 (SiCb-ZrB2) porous ceramics with porosity high up to 86.9% were prepared by a simple foam gel-casting method. The SiC...
