Abstract
Pyrolysis of preceramic polymers has been proposed as a method for obtaining bonds between silicon carbide at relatively low processing temperatures. Shrinkage and evolution of gaseous species during pyrolysis of preceramic polymer-based joints, however, can give rise to strength limiting defects. In this work, the use of various reactive fillers to mitigate shrinkage was investigated. Dilatometry was used to measure shrinkage and x-ray diffraction was used to detect the onset of reactions between the filler phases and the preceramic polymer material. The effects of processing conditions, filler concentrations, and applied pressure on joint strength were also studied. Microscopy was used to complement mechanical testing. This talk will present the findings of this study and directions for additional development.
