Abstract

A fine SiC fiber is synthesized from a polymer blend of polycarbosilane (PCS) and polyvinylsilane (PVS) with electron beam curing under vacuum. The obtained SiC fiber from the PCS-PVS blend polymer has smaller average diameter of 8.5 μm than that of 11.8 μm from PCS, and shows higher average tensile strength of 3.2 GPa than that of 2.8 GPa from PCS after heat treatment at 1673 K in Ar gas atmosphere. However, the SiC fiber from the polymer blend decreases in tensile strength after heat treatment above 1773 K due to β-SiC crystal growth near the fiber surface, because of a small amount of oxygen incorporated in the fiber.
