Notes:
The alumina-carbon composite fibers were obtained from poly[(acyloxy)aloxane] (PAA) with 3-ethoxypropanoic (EPA) and m-anisic acids (m-AA) legands. This preceramic polymer can be dissolved in p-xylene-methanol-EPA mixed solvent, and the concentrated solution exhibited an excellent spinnability. During the pyrolysis and sintering processes, aliphatic carboxylate in the side groups was easily decomposed and eliminated. The aromatic carboxylate, however, seems to be converted and migrated to a carbon domain in the alumina matrix into which aloxane repetition was converted. The fibers pyrolyzed up to 800 and 1000°C have electrical conductivities that monotonically increase with increasing temperature. The fiber pyrolyzed up to 1200°C showed the electrical conductivity in a rather complicated manner.
