Description

Silicon carbide (SiC) has wide application in various industrial fields because of their good high strength and modulus, low density, oxidation resistance and thermal stability. In this study, SiC-C composites were prepared from mixture of polycarbosilane (PCS), epoxy resin, and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) with weight ration of 2/1/1. PCS/epoxy/PVB mixture was cured by electron beam irradiation at 5,000 kGy. The cured composite was pyrolyzed by heat treatment in flowing argon at 1,300 .deg. C for 1 hr. As the result of TGA analysis, the oxidation resistance showed 95.2% residue at 1,500 .deg. C under air
