Abstract

A complex ceramic particle and ceramic composite material may be made of a pretreated coal dust and a polymer derived ceramic that is mixed together and pyrolyzed in a nonoxidizing atmosphere. Constituent portions of the particle mixture chemically react causing particles to increase in density and reduce in size during pyrolyzation, yielding a particle suitable for a plurality of uses including composite articles and proppants.
