ABSTRACTBoron nitride thin films have been produced on silicon carbide whiskers (SiCw) by a novel processing method. A polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) coating was formed in situ on the whisker surface which was subsequently thermally degraded creating a highly porous carbon layer. The total available pore volume of the carbon layer/ SiCw system (SiCwC) was varied by controlling the quantity of PDVB adsorbed. Next, anhydrous sodium borate was mixed with the SiCwC, and upon heating, the precursor melted and absorbed into the porous carbon layer followed by nitridation with anhydrous ammonia. Under certain reaction conditions, silicon oxynitride was also produced as a sublayer. The amount of the latter can be controlled by varying the reaction temperature and time. Control over the thickness of the BN film was achieved by varying the amount of the carbonized polymer layer in proportion to the quantity of sodium borate.

ABSTRACTSilica and alumina gels were mixed to make a hybrid of a mullite precursor gel and a silicon carbide precursor gel. The crystallization of these above 1400 °C, to form in-situ composites of silicon carbide whiskers in a matrix of mullite, cristobalite and a glassy phase, was studied for different processing conditions.

To produce a homogeneous composite of silicon carbide whiskers in a silicon nitride matrix, the whiskers were formed in situ. The resulting bulk density was higher than that obtained by a physical mixing of the components using a dispersion procedure. Bending strength at room temperature of the in situ formed composite was about the same as that for the physically mixed composite when the small amount of carbon remaining in the in situ formed composite was removed.

ABSTRACTDensification and crystallization kinetics of bulk SiC amorphized by neutron irradiation is studied. The temperature of crystallization onset of this highly pure, fully amorphous bulk SiC was found to be between 875-885°C and crystallization is nearly complete by 950°C. In-situ TEM imaging confirms the onset of crystallization, though thin-film effects apparently alter the kinetics of crystallization above this temperature. It requires >1125°C for complete crystallization of the TEM foil. Annealing at temperatures between the irradiation and crystallization onset temperature is seen to cause significant densification attributed to a relaxation, or reordering, of the as-amorphized structure.

Hybrid composite materials based on an aluminium phosphate matrix with silicon carbide whiskers and multi-walled carbon nanotubes were studied in a wide frequency range (20 Hz to 36 GHz). It was demonstrated, that the addition of the silicon carbide whiskers enhances the dielectric permittivity and conductivity. This was explained by the difference in tunnelling parameters. Hybrid ceramics with nanotubes and whiskers also exhibits substantially improved electromagnetic shielding properties. The hybrid ceramics with 10 wt. % silicon carbide whiskers and a 1 mm thick 1.5 wt. % carbon nanotube layer, show higher than 50% absorption of electromagnetic radiation.

The current research is focused on developing a geopolymer binder using rice husk ash–derived silica nanoparticles. Four types of rice husks were collected directly from various rice fields of Bangladesh in order to evaluate the pozzolanic activity and compatibility of the derived rice husk ashes with precursors of sodium-based geopolymers. Silicon carbide whiskers were introduced into sodium-based geopolymers in order to evaluate the response of silicon carbide whiskers to the interfacial bonding and strength of sodium-based geopolymers along with rice husk ashes. Compression, flexural and short beam shear tests were performed to investigate the synergistic effect of rice husk ashes–derived silica and commercially available silicon carbide whiskers. Results show that rice husk ashes–derived spherical silica nanoparticles reduced nano-porosity of the geopolymers by ∼20% and doubled the compressive strength. The simultaneous additions of rice husk ashes and silicon carbide whiskers resulted in flexural strength improvement by ∼27% and ∼97%, respectively. The increase in compressive strength due to the inclusion of silica nanoparticles is related to the reduction in porosity. The increase in flexural strength due to simultaneous inclusion of silica and silicon carbide whiskers suggest that silica particles are compatible with the metakaolin-based geopolymers, which is effective in consolidation. Finally, microscopy suggest that silicon carbide whiskers are effective in increasing bridged network and crack resistance.
