Abstract

Nanocomposites made of polymer-derived Si–C–N ceramic reinforced by single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were prepared for the first time. The synthesis procedure involved ultrasonic dispersion of the nanotubes into a liquid polysilazane precursor polymer, followed by cross-linking and thermolysis. With the aid of nanoindentation testing, dependence of the mechanical properties of the composites on the concentration and agglomeration state of SWCNTs, was studied. The nanotube-filled composites showed improved mechanical performance, as reflected by an increase in Young's modulus which was found to be correlated with the microstructure of the composites, in particular the degree of dispersion of the nanotubes inside the matrix, whereas the hardness is hardly affected.

Keywords: SWCNTs; Polymer-derived ceramics; Nanocomposites; Nanoindentation
