Abstract

In recent years, there has been steadily increasing research activity directed towards preparation of ceramic materials via polymer pyrolysis. Among the most thermomechanically stable structural ceramics are SiC, Si3N4, and their solid solutions. These materials are widely used as ceramic fiber reinforcements in composites owing to their high mechanical strength, stiffness, and oxidative stability. Processes have now been developed to make these fibers by utilizing melt spinning. Fine diameter continuous filaments are formed, and further processing involves the steps of mild reactive cure and high-temperature pyrolysis. The approach in this review is to summarize the fiber making process with emphasis on improving fired properties by utilizing known mechanisms of fiber failure and process modification procedures. Fiber characteristics, applications of high performance fiber, and perceived trends will also be discussed.
