Abstract

Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) fiber was exposed to metal chloride vapors in a controlled atmosphere or electron beam irradiation in air to promote the curing process. The cured fibers were pyrolyzed at 1273K to compare the efficiency of individual curing method. The cured fibers were investigated by FT-IR, an optical microscope and TG analysis. In the case of successful curing, averaged diameter and tensile strength were analyzed on the obtained Si-O-C fibers.
