The diameter and length of the SiC whiskers were about 0.1-1.0 μm and 20-100 μm, respectively. The largest diameter of their enlarged ends of the whiskers was about 0.2-1.0μm, and it gradually and smoothly decreased to the size of the plain part of the whiskers. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis show that the crystalline structure of the obtained SiC whiskers is β-SiC. It is considered that the SiC whiskers grow via a vapor-solid mechanism.展开更多
