Chemically Derived Ceramic Composites - Bog af Burtrand Lee - Hardback
Abstract:Silicon carbide was made from various organosilane precursors by crosslinking and pyrolyzing then in an inert atmosphere. Crosslinking of these silane precursors was studied by various means. The most successful means of crosslinking was found to be via a chemical free radical initiator, dicumyl peroxide. The mechanism of crosslinking for the precursors was determined.Pyrolyses of the silane precursors were carried out and increased ceramic yields after crosslinking were shown as compared..
