Phase Separation in an SiCO Glass Studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Electron Energy‐Loss Spectroscopy

Abstract: SiCO glasses prepared from sol-gel precursors via pyrolysis in argon at temperatures ranging from 1000°to 1400°C were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in conjunction with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). EELS analysis showed that stoichiometric SiCO glass underwent phase separation, forming SiO 2 -and SiC-based environments. This process started at ϳ1200°C. However, at temperatures >1300°C, precipitation of nanometer-sized SiC particles embedded in vitreous SiO 2 was monitored by hig… Show more

“…It is known that amorphous SiOC glasses are not stable at high temperatures and at temperatures of > 1000 °C-1200 °C, they will undergo a phase separation process, resulting in the formation of SiC nanocrystals and amorphous SiO 2 , accompanied by the release of SiO and CO gases [15]. The phase separation process can be described roughly by the following equation (1) [16].…”

“…The small shoulder and peaks correspond to a-SiC crystallite. According to the computer simulation results calculated by Pujar and Cawley [30], the additional peaks result from stacking faults [31][32][33][34][35]. Another viewpoint attributes these additional peaks to the existence of the 2H polytype [36].…”

“…Th erefore the obtained silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) ceramic structures have been assumed to be amorphous. In accordance to results in the literature phase separation and crystallization occur at temperatures above 1200 °C [20]. Foams with additional strut porosity were prepared by using distinct pore formers made up of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microbeads or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene grains (PE), respectively.…”
