Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been grown on commercially available silicon carbide (SiC) fabric by the catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) technique. These CNT coated SiC fabrics were used to develop Silicon Carbide–Carbon Nanotube–Silicon oxy Carbide matrix composites (SiC/CNTs/SiOC) by sol gel technique. Silicon oxy Carbide refers to carbon containing silicates wherein oxygen and carbon atomsshare bonds with silicon in the amorphous network structure. In this approach, alkyl-substituted siliconalkoxides, which are molecular precursors containing oxygen and carbon functionalities on the silicon, arehydrolyzed and condensed in the presence of sucrose, which provides excess of carbon to bond into thesilicon alkoxide network during hydrolysis. A low-temperature (1000 °C) heat-treatment of the gel createsa glassy silicate material whose molecular structure consists of an oxygen/carbon anionic network. Themicrostructures of these hybrid materials and their composites have been studied using scanning electronmicroscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman spectroscope.
