Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Français)

Diamond is a material with outstanding physical qualities (e.g. hardness and thermal conductivity), due to covalent bonding between its atoms. Nowadays, small diamond crystals are mainly produced mainly for machining. This research aims at exploiting their properties as constituent material in ceramic matrix composites. Diamond/ceramic materials could present a very high potential for thermal applications in different industrial sectors, such as aerospace, electronics as well as automotive.
