Synterials develops chemical vapor deposited materials for oxidation protection and interface & barrier layers or freestanding parts. Synterials Inc capabilities include: * Interface coatings for ceramic matrix composites (CMC), * Interface coating for metal matrix composites (MMC), * Silicon carbide foams, * Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) composites, Protective Coatings and * CVD Ceramic Monoliths. The company specializes in interface coatings for Ceramic Matrix Composites. Typical coatings include: * Borides, * Nitrides (e.g. BN, Si3N4), * Carbides (e.g. SiC, B4C) and * Oxides Coatings can be applied in single or multiple layers to a cloth, tow or preform. The firm's unique deposition process yields: 1) Uniformly coated fibers with minimal bridging between adjacent fibers., 2) Tow or fabric that retains its flexibility, and is not significantly stiffened as a result of the coating., 3) Coatings that do not flake or spall during composite forming processes
