Abstract
The invention presents a near-infrared photothermal coupling curing non-oxide ceramic slurry, along with its preparation method and application. The ceramic slurry consists of various raw materials, with weight fractions as follows: non-oxide ceramic powder (40?90 parts), photosensitive resin (0.5?20 parts), photosensitive monomer (1?40 parts), photoinitiator (0.25?4 parts), thermal initiator (0.25?4 parts), additive (0.75?5 parts), and up-conversion luminescent material (0.5?4 parts). The non-oxide ceramic powders can include Si.sub.3N.sub.4, TiN, BN, AlN, SiC, WC, TiC, ZrC, TiB.sub.2, and ZrB.sub.2.
