Mechanical properties of hot-pressed SiC whisker/Al2O3 composites were strongly dependent on the granular characteristics of mixed powder, which were controlled by co-dispersion condition, the existence of steric barrier on whisker surface, and granulating method, etc. Heat-treatment of SiC whiskers at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr in air was very effective both for achieving dispersion stability of whiskers with PVA adsorption and for obtaining excellent mechanical properties of resulting composites. It is believed from the fractography of composites prepared with various whisker dispersion conditions that the most common fracture origin of Al2O3 agglomerate could be attributed to whisker clusters arising due to flocculation. Further improvement of mechanical properties of composites were achieved by hot pressing green tapes prepared by Doctor-blade process, which promoted two-dimensional random alignment of whiskers.

${\beta}$-Silicon carbide(${\beta}$-SiC) whiskers could be synthesized by the carbothermal reduction of kaolin at tem-peratures between 1400 and 1500$^{\circ}C$. The whiskers were grown up to about 1150 of aspect ratio by VS mechanism (showing tapering tips) and to about 45 of that by VLS mechanism (showing round droplet tips) respectively. Hydrocarbon like methane in the reaction atmosphere promoted the formation of gaseous il-icon monoxide(SiO) from silicon dioxide(SiO2) and subsequently reacted with it to form whiskers. The for-mation of ${\beta}$-SiC whiskers increased with increasing carbon content(to 30 wt%) and reaction temperatures. The max. yield of ${\beta}$-SiC whiskers was 15% at 1500$^{\circ}C$ under 20%CH4/80%H2.

일반적으로 혼합분말의 소결에서 작은 입자에 큰 입자의 첨가는 소결성의 저하를 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 원리를 이용하여 작은 SiC 입자에 큰 SiC 휘스커 또는 큰 SiC 입자를 첨가하여 소결성을 저하시키고, YAG(Y$_3$A1$_{5}$O$_{12}$)상을 소결 첨가제로 사용함으로서 다공질 SiC 세라믹스를 제조하였다. 제조된 다공질 SiC 세라믹스의 기공율은 큰 입자의 함량과 소결 압력을 제어함으로서 0.3-39% 범위에서 제어할 수 있었다. 기공율은 큰 입자의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, SiC 휘스커를 첨가하는 것이 큰 SiC 입자를 첨가하는 것 보다 기공율을 높이는데 효과적이었다. 제조된 다공질 세라믹스에서 기체의 통기성은 기공율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였고, 굽힘강도는 기공율이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 기공율이 18% 이상인 다공질 SiC 세라믹스의 경우에 주목할 만한 변형율이 관찰되었다.

The main purpose of this study is enhancing the filtering efficiency, performance and durability of filter by growing SiC whiskers on cordierite honeycomb substrate. The experiment was performed by Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) in order to control pore morphology of substrate. Increasing the mechanical strength of porous substrate is one of important issues. The formation of "networking structure" in the pore of porous substrate increased mechanical strength. The high pressure gas injection to the specimen showed that a little of whiskers were separated from substrate but additional film coating enhanced the stability of whisker at high pressure gas injection. Particle trap test was performed. More nano-particle was trapped by whisker growth at the pore of substrate. Therefore it is expected that the porous cordierite which deposited the SiC whisker will be the promising material for the application as filter trapping the nano-particles.

A twt -step carbothermal reduction scheme has been employed for the synthesis of SiC whiskers in an Ar or a H2 atmosphere via vapor-solid two-stage and vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism respectively. It has been shown that the whisker growth proceed through the following reaction mechanism in an Ar at-mosphere : SiO2(S)+C(s)-SiO(v)+CO(v) SiO(v)3CO(v)=SiC(s)whisker+2CO2(v) 2C(s)+2CO2(v)=4CO(v) the third reaction appears to be the rate-controlling reaction since the overall reaction rates are dominated by the carbon which is participated in this reaction. The whisker growth proceeded through the following reaction mechaism in a H2 atmosphere : SiO2(s)+C(s)=SiO(v)+CO(v) 2C(s)+4H2(v)=2CH4(v) SiO(v)+2CH4(v)=SiC(s)whisker+CO(v)+4H2(v) The first reaction appears to be the rate-controlling reaction since the overall reaction rates are enhanced byincreasing the SiO vapor generation rate.

자전연소합성(SHS)법을 이용하여 탄소섬유와 티타늄, 지르코늄, 니오븀, 규소, 붕소, 중석, 몰리브덴의 분말로부터 여러 가지 섬유상 탄화물의 합성을 시도하였다. 티타늄과 지르코늄은 예열없이, 그 이외의 경우는 전기로 또는 화학로를 사용하여 예열하여 반응을일으킨 결과, TiC, ZrC, NbC, SiC, $B_4$C, WC,$ Mo_2$C 의 순수한 탄화물의 형성되었다. TiC, ZrC, NbC 및 $B_4$C 탄화물의 형상은 속의 빈 섬유상이었고, SiC는 보다 작은 입자와 미세 휘스커로 이루어진 섬유상을 하고 있었고 WC와 $Mo_2$C 는 비섬유상을 하고 있었다. 여러 가지 형상의 원인에 대하여 합리적 설명을 시도하였으며 정성적 메카니즘을 제안하였다.
