Polymer derived ceramic fibers having improved thermal stability
The present invention relates to ceramic fibers of the Si-C-N-O series with a diameter less than about 20 micrometers. It has been unexpectedly found that the thermal stability of these fibers can be increased by minimizing the impurity content, primarily the content of metals or metallic compounds....

Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to ceramic fibers of the Si-C-N-O series with a diameter less than about 20 micrometers. It has been unexpectedly found that the thermal stability of these fibers can be increased by minimizing the impurity content, primarily the content of metals or metallic compounds. Such fibers with low levels of contaminants retain greater than about 60 percent of their initial tensile strength when subjected to temperatures of 1300-1400 DEG C for at least 30 minutes in a non-oxidative environment. |
