Synthesis of TiC via polymeric titanates: the preparation of fibres and thin films

Effect of Raw Material Characteristics on the Carbothermal Reduction of Titanium Dioxide

“…Each method has varying characteristics of particle size and distribution, morphology, state of agglomeration, chemical purity, and stoichiometry. The titanium carbide powder is commercially produced primarily by the carbothermal reduction of titanium dioxide by carbon, especially carbon black, over a temperature range of 1700$2100 K. 4) The reaction behavior of the titanium dioxide/carbon mixture, especially titanium carbide formation, in the carbothermal reduction method is very important to obtain an optimized titanium carbide powder. The manufacturing of the ultrafine titanium carbide powder with a nonagglomerated state by this method should be known to be the reaction mechanism.…”

“…A number of processes exist for synthesizing titanium carbide powders, such as carbothermal reduction of titanium dioxide, 4) direct carbarization of titanium, 5) chemical reaction of titanium chloride (TiCl 4 ), 6) self-propagating hightemperature synthesis, 7) amongst others. Each method has varying characteristics of particle size and distribution, morphology, state of agglomeration, chemical purity, and stoichiometry.…”

Formation of inorganic (TaC, TaN) fibers by thermal decomposition of cellulose acetate–tantalum alkoxide precursor gel fibers

“…6 However, continuous spinning is difficult because long periods are required for the sol-gel conversion. Thorne et al 7 formed TiC fiber by pyrolysis of polymeric titanates formed by the reactions of various esters with Ti isopropoxide, and Sugimoto et al 8 formed TiN fiber from Ti alginate precursor fiber. These fibers are porous structured and brittle.…”

Formation of Refractory Carbide and Nitride Nanofibers by Thermal Decomposition of Poly(vinyl alcohol)-Titanium Lactate Hybrid Nanofibers

“…There are some studies for these carbide and nitride micro-scale fibers [16][17][18][19][20]. The aim of this study was to create refractory (transition metal carbide and nitride) nanofibers by heattreatment of organic-inorganic hybrid precursor nanofibers by varying heating conditions.…”
