【 摘 要 】

The primary focus of this work is to use a pyrolysis-based process to fabricate a host of novel silicon carbide-metal carbide/oxide composites, and to synthesize new materials based on mixed-metal (metal/silicon) carbides that cannot be processed using conventional techniques. These mixed-carbide material systems are expected to offer improved material properties for higher-temperature applications. Our fabrication technique resulted in both amorphous and nano-grained SiC matrix composites by controlled pyrolysis of allylhydridopolyca rbosilane(AHPCS), the precursor for SiC for our study, under inert argon atmosphere.
