From page 20...
... The thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and oxidation behavior at elevated temperatures are the important physical properties of ceramic matrix composites. In the long run, the projected advantages for the sol-gel approach to composite fabrication are the simple processing steps, the flexibility of solution chemistry, the low-temperature treatments, and the small investment in equipment.
