Abstract: Thin ceramic tiles are functional products with low energy consumption, but their application is limited by high breakage rate caused by low strength. In this case, it has become a research hotspot in ceramic industries to strengthen thin ceramic tiles with low cost. In this study, various kinds of fabrics and binders were optimized to prepare fabrics reinforced thin ceramic tiles with layered composite structure, which was proved to have low cost and excellent mechanical properties. Besides, the apparent morphology of cross-section and the fracture mechanism were investigated, respectively. It is observed that the composite thin ceramic tile with carbon fabric and epoxy resin as reinforcements has the best interface bonding strength and mechanical properties. And its bending strength is 85.26 MPa and the impact energy is 1.45 J, which are 22.98% and 141.67% higher than those of thin ceramic tiles green body. There are many positive strengthening and toughening mechanisms, such as microcrack expansion, fiber deflection and so on, which are conducive to improving the mechanical properties of thin ceramic tiles with fabrics and binders.
Key words: thin ceramic tile, composite structure, fabric, binder, fracture mechanism, mechanical property
