A three-dimensionally (3D) well-ordered assembly composed of silicon oxycarbide (SiOxCy) microparticles was fabricated by an infiltration process using SiO2inverse opal structures as molds. Polycarbosilane was used as the precursor for the SiOxCysynthesis. The effect of the viscosity of polycarbosilane solution on the morphology of the fabricated SiOxCymicroparticles and their assemblies was investigated. The ideal viscosity for the infiltration process was found to be approximately 2.0mPas. The structures of the SiOxCymicroparticles obtained and their assemblies were analyzed by SEM, XRD, FT-IR, and N2adsorption. Each SiOxCymicroparticle was bonded to neighboring microparticles by bridge formation, which could enhance the mechanical strength of the prepared SiOxCymicroparticle assembly.
