Ceramic coatings of the Al2O3/SiO2 composition by the sol-gel method on carbon fibers were obtained in order to prevent oxidation and destruction of the fiber at temperatures above 450°C. Various combinations and ratios of aluminum and silicon oxides were used. The results of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed a change in the topographic properties of carbon fiber during the deposition of coatings thereon. Thermal analysis showed that oxidative stability improved significantly due to coverage, increased to 1100°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
