Anomalous characteristics of the microcrystalline state of SiC fibres

Nature volume 279, pages 706–707 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

FIBRES of SiC are prepared1–4 from the polycarbosilane which, in various forms, is made into a precursor by melt-spinning: the precursor is then heated to produce the SiC fibre. Ceramics are produced in this way by heating the organosilicon polymer. The organic precursor is prepared in a subtle form (for example, as fibres) which is extremely difficult to produce from an inorganic precursor. On heating the organic precursor a ceramic skeleton remains. This inorganic residue derived from an organosilicon polymer possesses characteristics not previously known and these are reported here.
