The diamond-SiC composite has a low density and the highest possible speed of sound among existing materials except for diamond. The composite is synthesized by a complex exothermic chemical reaction between diamond powder and liquid Si. This makes it an ideal material for protection against impact loading. Experiments show that a system of patterns is formed at the diamond-SiC interface. Modeling of reaction-diffusion processes of composite synthesis proves a formation of ceramic materials with a regular (periodic) interconnected microstructure in a given system. The composite material with interconnected structures at the interface has very high mechanical properties and resistance to impact since its fractioning is intercrystallite.

The drilling of State-of-the-Art printed circuit boards (PCBs) often leads to shortened tool lifetime and low drilling accuracy due to improved strength of the PCB composites with nanofillers and higher thickness-to-hole diameter ratio. Diamond coatings have been employed to improve the tool lifetime and drilling accuracy, but the coated microdrills are brittle and suffer from coating delamination. To date, it is still difficult to deposit diamonds on ultrathin microdrills with diameters lower than 0.

A novel, parameter-independent multiscale correlational constitutive model has been devised to predict thermomechanical properties of Si-diamond-SiC and Si-diamond composites, including the effective elastic modulus, effective bulk modulus, effective shear modulus, effective Poisson's ratio, average coefficients of thermal expansion as well as thermal conductivity. Based on this model, the effective thermomechanical response of two kinds of composites was simulated, and the underlying mechanisms of thermomechanical coupling between constituents were also critically evaluated. The findings were shown that the effective elastic properties of composites, including effective elastic modulus, effective bulk modulus, effective shear modulus, increased with diamond and SiC, and that the introduction of dispersed diamond with highly thermal conductivity and lowly thermal expansion significantly enhanced thermophysical properties of Si-diamond-SiC composites.

Diamond/SiC (Dia/SiC) composites possess excellent properties, such as high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient. In addition, they are suitable as electronic packaging materials. This study mainly optimized the diamond particle size packing and liquid-phase silicon infiltration processes and investigated a method to prevent the adhesion of the product to molten silicon.

Diamond-silicon carbide (SiC) polycrystalline composite blends are studied using a computational approach combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for obtaining grain boundary (GB) fracture properties and phase field mechanics for capturing polycrystalline deformation and failure. An authentic microstructure, reconstructed from experimental lattice diffraction data with locally refined discretization in GB regions, is used to probe effects of local heterogeneities on material response in phase field simulations. The nominal microstructure consists of larger diamond and SiC (cubic polytype) grains, a matrix of smaller diamond grains and nanocrystalline SiC, and GB layers encasing the larger grains.
