NEWS NEW TECHNIQUE FOR THE DEPOSITION OF FINE SiOz POWDER Dean W. Matson, Robert C. Petersen and R.D. Smith present, in Advanced Ceramic Materials, l(3) (1986), this new process for the deposition of fine powders using the rapid expansion of supercritical solutions. The nucleation and the condensation of solute particles are controlled by the expansion conditions. The particle size and agglomeration characteristics of the powder depend on the concentration of the solution. SILICONE CARBIDE

A comparison of physical, thermal and mechanical properties of this “third generation” of fine ceramics with those of Al ,O, is presented in New Materials Japan, 3(2) (1986). This short survey points out the interest that these ceramics hold for devices such as heat exchangers. Dealing with the same materials, Don J. Roth and George Y. Baaklini in Advanced Ceramic Materials, l(3) (1986) 252, describe the strengths and the limitations of a non-destructive technique, namely scanning laser acoustic microscopy (SLAM) for detecting internal voids in such ceramics. They point out that voids as small as 30 pm and 60 pm in diameter, for SisN, and Sic, respectively, were detected with probabilities of 0.9 if they were relatively close to the surface. POLYMER

pared a titanium-rich ceramic called polytitanocarbosilane (PTC). This new ceramic, which is heat resistant and very strong may also be reinforced with aluminum [New MateriaIs Japan, 3(4) (1986)].
