We attempted melt-spinning and investigated the compatibility and thermal decomposition of a mixture comprising polysilsesquioxane and polycarbosilane for the purpose of manufacturing low grade silicon carbide (SiC) fibers or silicon oxycarbide fibers. The fabrication approach was selected to reinforce the strength of the as-spun fibers, as well as increase the yield of long SiC fibers. Although the addition of polysilsesquioxane increased the viscosity of the mixed polymer, the mixed polymer could be melt-spun by incorporating a softener during the fabrication process. Cross-linking between polysilsesquioxane and polycarbosilane was successfully accomplished by heating them to 600 °C. Consequently, the mixed polymer demonstrated a higher yield in comparison to pure polycarbosilane. The as-spun fibers derived from the mixed polymer had a tensile strength approximately 10 times that of the fibers derived from pure PCS using an identical approach. Thus, we were able to confirm that blending polysilsesquioxane effectively reinforced the tensile strength of the as-spun fibers to generate long SiC fibers.
