Abstract

Waste cotton linters from textile industry were used as templates to be transformed as cotton fiber/SiO complex after sol impregnation, carbonization, carbon thermal reduction reaction, to prepare nanoSiC fibers and nanoparticles. The phase of final products were identified by XRD as β-SiC, and the diameter size of nanoSiC fiber was ranged as 20~100mm analyzed by SEM and TEM. Based on the thermodynamic analysis of each step in the thermal reduction on carbon / SiO composite to generate nanoSiC fibers, the nanoSiC fibers were generated by the vapor reaction between SiO and CO, and its growth mechanism was deduced as vapor-solid. For the reuse of cotton linter, thus the research provides a new solution.
