In this study fine grained bulk silicon carbide ceramics are processed using a novel
approach that involves pyrolysis of a preceramic polymer followed by spark plasma sintering …

This study reports on the fabrication and characterization of polymer‐derived amorphous
and nano‐grained SiC, by controlled pyrolysis of allylhydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) …

In this study, silicon carbide (SiC) is fabricated using polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP).
Allylhydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) is used as the preceramic polymer. Final processing …

Applications urgently demand higher flexural strength and oxidation resistance of
recrystallized silicon carbide (RSiC), which is weakened by its relatively low density and …

Conventional formation of carbonaceous uranium compounds requires bulk processing
using furnace-based approaches. Here, a methodology employing polymer covered …

Allyhydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) was partially modified with 9-borabicyclo-[3.3. 1]
nonane (9-BBN) via conventional hydroboration. The as-synthesized boron-modified …
