Silicon carbide (SiC) composites are receiving much attention for structural use at high temperatures. One class of composites are those reinforced with SiC fibers. The SiC fibers are coated with boron nitride (BN) which is weakly bonded to the fiber. During fracture, the coating deflects cracks causing pull-out of the fibers (Fig. 1). This process of fiber pull-out consumes energy and increases the toughness of the composite. Although much work has been done on characterizing these materials by SEM, not much has been done using TEM due to difficulties in specimen preparation. The purpose of this study is to characterize these fibers and composites using conventional and analytical TEM.In this study, TEM specimens were prepared by dimpling and ion milling. Careful control of the preparation was needed to ensure the integrity of the SiC-BN interface. Figure 2a is a TEM image of the fiber showing delamination at the SiC-BN interface.

Abstract Ceramic matrix composites have excellent properties such as high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, and have good application prospects in the hot end parts of engines. In ceramic matrix composites, the microstructure composition of silicon carbide fibers determines their macroscopic properties. Therefore, this article takes silicon carbide fiber as the research object, summarizes the existing SiC fibers structure, composition, and morphology characterization methods, compares the development and advantages and disadvantages of XRD, SEM, TEM and other testing equipment analysis, and proposes The problems of sample preparation, surface defects and internal structure changes in the microstructure characterization of silicon carbide fibers are discussed, which provides a reference for the preparation of high-performance SiC fibers and the improvement of their characterization work.

A series of polysilanes was prepared by the alkali metal dechlorination of chlorosilane monomers, in which the overall functionality, F, of the reaction was varied. Starting monomers of functionality f = 2.0 and 3.0 were reacted together in various proportions to achieve values of F of 2.2, 2.35, and 2.5. In addition to varying the functionality of the reaction, three different difunctional monomers, dimethyldichlorosilane (DMDCS), diphenyldichlorosilane (DPDCS), and methylphenyldichlorosilane (MPDCS), and two trifunctional monomers, phenyltrichlorosilane (PTCS) and ethyltrichlorosilane (ETCS), were used. The effect of these changes on the yields of the polysilanes was determined, and the products were investigated by the use of thermogravimetry (TG), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA). The ability to spin a polysilane fiber was also assessed.

Fuel particles for the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) contain a layer of pyrolytic silicon carbide to act as a miniature pressure vessel and primary fission product barrier. Optimization of the SiC with respect to fuel performance involves four areas of study: (a) characterization of as-deposited SiC coatings; (b) thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions between SiC and fission products; (c) irradiation behavior of SiC in the absence of fission products; and (d) combined effects of irradiation and fission products. This paper reports the behavior of SiC deposited on inert microspheres and irradiated to fast neutron fluences typical of HTGR fuel at end-of-life.
