Abstract: | A carbon nanotube–enhanced SiC (CNT–SiC) coating was deposited on C/C composites to improve the oxidation resistance of C/C. The CNT–SiC coating was prepared by direct growth of CNTs on C/C surface at 700 °C followed by deposition of SiC using chemical vapor deposition at 1150 °C for 1 h. SiC was deposited on the CNTs as well as the interface between CNTs and C/C, making CNTs strongly rooted on C/C surface. The final CNT–SiC coating consisted of two layers: the CNT–SiC layer and SiC layer. In comparison to the SiC coating, the CNT–SiC coating showed fewer cracks and a better oxidation resistance because the CNTs reduce the stress in the coating caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion between C/C and SiC. |
