Beaded silicon carbide nanochains via carbothermal reduction of carbonaceous silica xerogel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Novel silicon carbide nanostructures, beaded nanochains, are prepared from the carbothermal reduction of a carbonaceous silica xerogel with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and lanthanum nitrate as additives. The nanochains consist of a stem with a diameter of about 50 nm and uniform beads with diameters of 100–200 nm. It is demonstrated that the tensile strength of an epoxy composite filled with the SiC nanochains improves significantly due to the unusual morphology of the nanochains.

متن کاملSynthesis of silicon carbide using concentrated solar energy
Silicon carbide (SiC) has been prepared successfully using concentrated solar energy provided by the IER-UNAM solar furnace. This has led to the development of a low CO2 emissions process for the production of this material via carbothermic reduction of a silica/carbon (SiO2/C) nanocomposite, which has shown a more reactive carbon for formation of composite, being more thermally stable. Silica ...
