Abstract

Carbon fiber tows have been impregnated by ethanolic solutions of organo-silicon chlorides, and fired at temperatures up to 900°C to form silicon based coatings. Fired tows were subsequently examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to characterize the coated material. A uniform silicon oxycarbide is formed at temperatures upwards of 400°C, which provides an oxidation barrier in carbon fiber reinforced metals.
