Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) are redefining the limits of what advanced materials can achieve \u2014 from aerospace engines<\/em> and automotive heat shields<\/em> to thermal protection systems<\/em>. Among them, oxide\/oxide (Ox\/Ox) composites stand out for their exceptional thermal stability, strength, and corrosion resistance. The quality of a final CMC always starts with one critical step: powder and slurry formulation. But how is a slurry formulated for an Ox\/Ox CMC of high quality?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

💡 What are Baikowski Alumina and Mullite solutions advantages ?<\/h2>\n

In our latest white paper,\u00a0 we highlight our submicron alumina and mullite powders and show how tailored chemical compositions, dopants (such as nanozirconia), and ready-to-use forms (spray-dried or slurries) can unlock next-generation performance.<\/p>\n
