Abstract
The microstructure and electromagnetic (EM) properties of near-stoichiometric SiC fibres (with C/Si ratio of 1.125) were analyzed and evaluated in detail. The SiC fibres consisted of β-SiC nanocrystallines and free carbon, and exhibited a uniquely specific skin-core structure with thin carbon layer of 5 nm on their surfaces. The relative complex permittivity increased with the increasing fibre volume fraction from 13 vol% to 27.5 vol%. The imaginary part of permittivity increased from 1.36 to 2.13 at 10 GHz, due to more SiC nanocrystallines and interfaces generating. The EM wave absorption properties were enhanced by the increasing fibre volume fraction and the effective absorption bandwidth was approximately 2.6 GHz when the fibre volume fraction was 27.5 vol%.
