Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Ultrathin SiCN fibers</bold> are produced from inexpensive carbosilazane‐polyethylene block copolymers. The two‐step synthesis consists of a concerted block copolymer formation, microphase separation and crosslinking step, followed by pyrolysis. The fibers have a mean diameter of 45 nm and an aspect ratio of up to 100. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1x7449nb" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
