Fully dense and net-shaped silicon carbide monoliths were produced by liquid silicon infiltration of carbon preforms with engineered bulk density, median pore diameter, and chemical reactivity derived from carbonization of crystalline cellulose and phenolic resin blends. The ideal carbon bulk density and minimum median pore diameter for successful formation of fully dense silicon carbide by liquid silicon infiltration are 0.964 g cm−3 and approximately 1 μm. By blending crystalline cellulose and phenolic resin in various mass ratios as carbon precursors, we were able to adjust the bulk density, median pore diameter, and overall chemical reactivity of the carbon preforms produced. The liquid silicon infiltration reactions were performed in a graphite element furnace at temperatures between 1414 and 1900 °C and under argon pressures of 1550, 760, and 0.5 Torr for periods of 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, and 300 min. Examination of the results indicated that the ideal carbon preform was produced from the crystalline cellulose and phenolic resin blend of 6:4 mass ratio. This carbon preform has a bulk density of 0.7910 g cm−3, an actual density of 2.1911 g cm−3, median pore diameter of 1.45 μm, and specific surface area of 644.75 m2 g−1. The ideal liquid silicon infiltration reaction conditions were identified as 1800 °C, 0.5 Torr, and 120 min. The optimum reaction product has a bulk density of 2.9566 g cm−3, greater than 91% of that of pure β–SiC, with a β–SiC volume fraction of approximately 82.5%.

Abstract Fir sawdust was liquefied in phenol solvent under acidic catalyst at 135, 150 and 165 °C, respectively; after neutralization, bio-crude was obtained where contained oil-like liquid and tiny powder-like residue. The bio-crude was chemically modified with urea at high temperature (e. g. > 130 °C) to form carbamate so as to improve chemical reactivity of bio-crude in phenolic resin synthesis. The carbamate-containing bio-crude was condensed with paraformaldehyde into thermosetting phenolic resin. Finally, this biomass-derived phenolic resin matrixed silica fabric laminates were processed. The uncured and thermally cured bio-based resins were characterized by the techniques of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum (FT-IR), rheology and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and the laminates’ structure and mechanical performances were studied using the methods of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), three point bending mechanical test and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The results showed: (1) the chemical reactivity of bio-crude was highly improved by carbamation; (2) biomass-derived thermosetting phenolic resin was thermally curable at 150–250 °C (with two exothermic peaks at 185 °C and 220 °C); (3) the char yield was about 47 %, which was not in apparent relationship with sawdust liquefaction temperatures; (4) flexural strength of silica fabric laminates at room temperature was around 357 MPa (similar with that of conventional phenolic laminate); (5) glass transition temperature of silica fabric laminate was above 270 °C (much higher than Tg of conventional phenolic resin laminate, which is normally at 215 °C). The biomass-derived phenolic resin is expected to be widely used as cost-effective and environment-friendly thermosetting resin in the application of high-performance composites.
