Abstract

Resin matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide yarn and silicon carbide monofilament were fabricated and evaluated. Both composite systems exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Composite thermal expansion behaviour, fibre electrical resistance, and fibre thermal oxidation resistance are also reported. Advantages with respect to carbon fibre-reinforced resins are discussed.
