Abstract

The Nicalon silicon carbide fibre has been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Elements entering the fibre are carbon, silicon and oxygen. In addition to previously reported chemical entities (silicon carbide, silica and graphitic carbon) evidence is found of the presence of a new supplementary phase which is attributed to an intermediate silicon oxycarbide phase. As this phase is found to participate in very appreciable proportions to the composition of the fibre, some influence on the properties of this fibre can be anticipated.
