(author), Xiao, Ping (author) Yttria – partially stabilised zirconia (YPSZ) MoSi<sub>2</sub> composites have been designed to prolong the lifetime of the matrix by self – healing cracks during thermal cycling. The healing reaction at high temperatures is based on the decomposition of MoSi<sub>2</sub>, leading to a volumetrically expanding reaction product, which seals the...
