Preparation of silicon carbide whiskers.

摘要

Silicon carbide single crystals are prepared by (1) reacting silica gel, silicic acid or silicon dioxide with an inorganic base and a multifunctional alcohol or a multifunctional phenol to produce a carbon-containing chemically activated silicon compound, (2) mixing the activated silicon compound with carbon black or graphite and (3) heating the mixture to 1300 DEG to 1700 DEG C under a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
