1D SiC decoration of SiC macroscopic shapes for filtration devices†
Abstract
The synthesis of a hierarchical support, constituted of a network of SiC nanofibers deposited on a SiC foam host resulting in a ceramic material with a controlled macroscopic shape and associated high specific surface area superior to 50 m2 g−1, has been reported for the first time. The new composite combines the nanoscopic properties of the SiC nanofibers’ network and controlled macroscopic shape and open porosity, typical of a SiC foam structure. The introduction of the
