SiCN Nanofibers with a Diameter Below 100 nm Synthesized via Concerted Block Copolymer Formation, Microphase Separation, and Crosslinking. Issue 7 (19th November 2012) - Pillai, Saravana K. T.
Abstract Ultrathin SiCN fibers 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.
