National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Novel Processing of Unique Ceramic-Based Nuclear Materials and Fuels. April 1, 2005 - August 31, 2008.

Publication Date	2008
Personal Author	Zhang, H.

Abstract	The primary focus of this work is to use a pyrolysis-based process to fabricate a host of novel silicon carbide-metal carbide/oxide composites, and to synthesize new materials based on mixed-metal (metal/silicon) carbides that cannot be processed using conventional techniques. These mixed-carbide material systems are expected to offer improved material properties for higher-temperature applications. Our fabrication technique resulted in both amorphous and nano-grained SiC matrix composites by controlled pyrolysis of allylhydridopolyca rbosilane(AHPCS), the precursor for SiC for our study, under inert argon atmosphere.
