Abstract

The polycrystalline β-SiC fiber of diameter 14 μm (without a carbon core) is piezoresistive under tension, with gage factor 5. The resistivity increases linearly and reversibly with strain in the elastic regime. The fiber of diameter 140 μm (with a carbon core) is not piezoresistive, due to the carbon core controlling the electrical resistance.
