Abstract Scope |
Silicon oxycarbide (SiCO) produced from a polymer derived ceramic route are a class of ceramic synthesized by a thermal decomposition of polymeric precursors like polysiloxane. Functional ceramic fibers with high electrical conductivity and metal nanoparticles (e.g. nickel and silver) have been fabricated through electrospinning the solutions of polysiloxane and common metal salts followed by pyrolysis. The composition and structure of the fibers were examined at different fabrication stages to understand the composition and structure change during the fabrication and the effect of composite fiber composition/structure on their properties. The performance of composite ceramic fibers as the catalysts and substrates for surface enhance Raman spectroscopy will be discussed in the presentation. |
