Abstract

Silicon carbide fibers which are derived from oligomeric and/or polymeric precursors are modified and strengthened in annealing the silicon carbide fiber at temperatures in excess of 800.degree. C. under a nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of carbon particles. The modified fibers can be used to make ceramic, metal, and plastsic composites.
