Abstract

Commercially available silicone resin and silicon carbide (SiC) powders were adopted as the starting materials for the fabrication of porous SiC ceramics. During the heat treatment process, silicone resin experienced an organic–inorganic transformation and acted as the bonding material between SiC particles at a low temperature of 1000 °C. The mean particle size of starting SiC powders and silicone resin content can control the pore size, open porosity and fracture strength. The flexural strength of porous SiC ceramics increases with increasing silicone resin content and decreasing mean particle size of SiC powders. Larger pores can be obtained with coarser starting SiC powders and higher silicone resin content. The fracture surface of porous SiC ceramics was observed.
