Abstract

Polymethylsilane (-[MeSiH]x-) synthesized from a single step catalytic polymerization of methylsilane (MeSiH3), provides a new route to near stoichiometric, microcrystalline silicon carbide fibers. The final composition is controlled by selected additives. The entire process simply contains 3 simple steps: (1) a single step synthesis of polymer precursor, (2) precursor fiber spinning, and (3) a single step pyrolytic conversion to target ceramic fibers.
