FUNDAMENTALS OF POLYMER PRECURSOR METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING SILICON CARBIDE BASED CERAMIC FIBERS

摘要

Inorganic fibers become major materials in modern industry. In particular, the carbon fiber technology shows remarkable development. Nowadays, carbon fibers with extreme strength and flexibility play an important role in airplane industry as carbon fiber reinforced plastic matrix composites (CFRP). Success of carbon fiber gives a clue that even the materials with no fusibility or with high melting points can be shaped to thin fiber form by using polymers as starting precursors.
