Abstract
Silicon carbide (SiC) has been considered for the thrust area of research since long time due to its unique thermal and mechanical properties. SiC is well known for its excellent material properties, high durability, high wear resistance, light weight and extreme hardness. We have synthesized SiC from the hybrid of bio-polymer using sol-gel process via carbothermal reduction. This talk will focus on the synthesis, properties and applications of silicon carbide nano ceramic materials using different source of polymer/organic waste.
