Ceramic Fibers and Their Applications

NOTE EDITORE

To date, several polymer-derived ceramic fibers have been developed all over the world, out of whichSiC fibers synthesized from polycarbosilane and their derivatives have achieved highest heat resistanceand show excellentmechanical properties. Their use in ceramic matrix composite materials has resulted in high-temperature stability and light weight, which show great promise in next-generation applications, such as aerospace engines. This bookpresents polymer-derived ceramic fibers from a historical viewpoint; basic information about them, such as production process, fine structures, and physical properties; their applications; and prospects of future inorganic fibers.

SOMMARIO

1. Historical Viewpoint of Ceramic Fibers2. Progress of Ceramic Fibers 3. Mechanical Strength of Ceramic Fibers 4. High temperature properties of SiC-based Ceramic Fibers
