C f /SiBOC was fabricated from 2D carbon fabric as reinforcement and slurry-containing boronmodified phenol formaldehyde (BPF) resin with silicon as matrix resin using reaction-bonded silicon carbide method. The processing involves synthesis of (BPF) resin by reacting various amount of boric acid with phenol formaldehyde resin, polymer to ceramic transformation at 1450°C under argon atmosphere, with and without silicon, thermal transformation of the polymer matrix composite into a ceramic matrix composite and evaluation of isothermal oxidation for ceramics and its composites at 1000, 1250 and 1500°C. The ceramic studies, confirmed the formation of B 4 C, SiC and SiB 4 (SiBOC) mixed phase and the role of boron as a catalyst for graphitisation of free carbon present in the ceramic. Oxidation of C f /SiBOC composite at various temperatures leads to the formation of borosilicate glass which heals the cracks, hindering the inwards diffusion of oxygen.
