Reactivity and molecular structure of silicon carbide fibres derived from polycarbosilanes: Part II XPS analysis
1992
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization of Nicalon NML 202 was carried out on the desized initial fibre (fibre A), fibre A after treatment with hydrofluoric acid (fibre B) and fibre B oxidized in air at 970 K (fibre C). Non-etched and Ar + -etched fibre bundles were studied. XPS analysis quantitatively fits the chemical analysis of the fibre: the Nicalon fibre is a continuous SiC and SiO x C y tetrahedron network with an excess of carbon and exhibits a silica sheath.
