Abstract

Nanosized silicon carbide powders are synthesized by the Chemical Vapor Synthesis (CVS). Grain and particle sizes are measured by XRD and BET. Agglomeration, crystallinity and the chemical composition of the SiC samples are investigated as a function of storage conditions and the CVS process parameters: precursor material, synthesis temperature and reactor length. Grain and particle sizes below 10 nm are observed in all samples.
