Polymer infiltration pyrolysis (PIP) is widely used in the preparation of ceramic matrix composite because of its simple process

and being adopted to mold complex components in clear dimension. However

its precursor has complicated synthetic process

with low ceramic yield

high price

resulting in the long producing cycle and high cost of PIP

which handicaps the development and engineering application of PIP. This paper reviews the low-cost production of ceramic matrix composite from two perspectives: The low-cost research and development of ceramic precursor

and the efficient densification process.
