Precursor Derived SiC-Carbon Nanotube Composites

Abstract

Nanocomposites of SiC ceramic and carbon nanotubes were prepared. Surface modified carbon nanotubes and nanofibers were mixed with a silicon carbide polymer precursor material, allylhydridopolycarbosilane, using high energy sonication followed by crosslinking and pyrolysis. Samples were examined using electron microscopy and tests were performed to investigate the crack inhibiting effects of the nanoreinforcements on the silicon carbide.
