Abstract
The Nicalon SiC-based ceramic fibres and their precursors have been investigated by complementary techniques: EXAFS, WAXS, ESCA and NMR. For SiC-Nicalon fibres, an alternative model is proposed based on a microcrystalline structure where pureβ-SiC is embedded in a continuum of tetrahedral SiCxOy(x+y=4). We have found that the inorganic material skeleton is already contained in the carbon and silicon structure of the polymer precursor.
