Abstract

A biomorphic porous carbon coated with SiC (SiC/BPC) was prepared by controlled carbonizing native pine under Ar atmosphere and then processed with precursor infiltration-pyrolysis (PIP) of organosilane. Microstructure and component of SiC/BPC were analyzed by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and EDS (attached with line scanning program). The non-isothermal oxidation properties and mechanism of SiC/BPC were studied by TGA. The kinetic parameters were calculated through model-free kinetics methods. Experimental results showed that SiC/BPC had a topologically uniform interconnected porous network microstructure; the obtained gradient SiC coating on BPC surface was amorphous and combined well with the carbon surface, which can improve the oxidation resistance of BPC clearly. The non-isothermal oxidation reaction of SiC/BPC exhibited a partial self-accelerating characteristic. The oxidation process was complicated, firstly it was controlled by gas diffusion in coating, then controlled by chemical reaction, and at last it was controlled by gas diffusion and chemical reaction together, the corresponding effective activation energy was calculated also.
