Abstract

Silicon carbide ceramic materials have been successfully formed from commercially available polycarbosilane using microwave radiation as the sole source of heat. Conventional thermal processing of the same polymeric precursor was also studied for comparison with microwave processing. Microwave heating enhances crystallinity at much lower curing temperature and within shorter times. Possible explanations for microwave enhanced processing are proposed.
