Synthesis of silicon carbide nanomaterials by microwave heating: Effect of types of carbon nanotubes

One-dimensional silicon carbide nanomaterial (SiCNM) is the leading potential material for high temperature, high power and harsh environment components and devices. This is due to the outstanding properties of the one-dimensional SiCNMs such as high mechanical properties, high hardness, good chemic...
