  • Patent number: 9885126
    Abstract: A method for producing ceramic fibers of a composition in the SiC range, starts from a spinning material that contains a polysilane-polycarbosilane copolymer solution. The spinning material is extruded through spinnerets in a dry spinning method and spun through a spinning duct into green fibers, and the green fibers are subsequently pyrolyzed. Accordingly, the polysilane-polycarbosilane solution contains between 75 wt. % and 95 wt. %, in particular between 80 and 90 wt. %, of an indifferent solvent, and the spinnerets have a capillary diameter between 20 and 70 ?m, in particular between 30 and 60 ?m, in particular between 40 and 50 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20120280412
    Abstract: A method for producing carbon-containing fibers, in particular carbon fibers and/or the precursor fibers thereof, contains the following steps: a) providing one or more starting material fibers; b) bringing the one or more starting material fibers in contact with at least one treatment fluid, wherein a treatment fluid has at least one silicon compound and has a content of 0-25 wt. % water, in relation to the total weight of the treatment fluid; c) treating the one or more starting material fibers with the treatment fluid during a treatment time having a duration of at least three minutes at a treatment temperature ranging from 126 C to 450 C.
