The experimental study for in situ synthesis of SiC nanofibers in Al2O3-based ceramics via cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) is reported herein. The experiment was carried out at 1600 °C under argon/hydrogen gas. The temperature was increased from 240 to 400 °C at a slow heating rate of 1 °C in order to...
