Production and characterization of beta-silicon carbide and alpha-silicon nitride whiskers for ceramic matrix composites

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6203043
; ;
Los Alamos has undertaken an extensive program to develop improved structural ceramics. One avenue of research involves the investigation of short-fiber reinforcement (whisker) technology for production of ceramic matrix composites. Initial efforts have focused on the synthesis of high-quality beta-silicon carbide and alpha-silicon nitride whiskers. Details of the whisker growth processes and the properties of the whiskers are discussed.
