Toughening effect of mullite whisker within low-density ceramic proppants

Main crystal phases of low-density ceramic proppants prepared by bauxite and feldspar are granular corundum and whisker-shaped mullite. Mullite whiskers are interlocked with one another and piled up inside the pores. High aspect ratio of mullite whiskers inside the pores can greatly enhance the fracture toughness. The dominant toughening mechanism for the proppants is attributed to crack bifurcation and deflection and pulling out and bridging effect of mullite whiskers.
