@article{Bunsell2006ARO, title={A review of the development of three generations of small diameter silicon carbide fibres}, author={A R Bunsell and Anne Piant}, journal={Journal of Materials Science}, year={2006}, volume={41}, pages={823-839} }
Three generations of small diameter ceramic fibres based on polycrystalline silicon carbide have been developed over a period of thirty years. This has been possible due to studies into the relationships between the microstructures and properties of the fibres. A variety of techniques have been employed by research teams on three continents. The fibres are made by the conversion of polymer precursors to ceramic fibres and all three generations are presently produced commercially. The nature of…
