The beta silicon carbide whiskers produced by SAT NANO are needle-shaped cubic crystals. As an atomic crystal, it has low density, high melting point, high strength, high modulus, low thermal expansion rate, and excellent properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance. It is mainly used for metal substrates and ceramic substrates. , Reinforcement and toughness of resin-based composite materials, significantly improve the performance of composite materials.

How to use silicon carbide whiskers:
The silicon carbide whiskers are gray-green powder macroscopically, and only when they are evenly distributed in the matrix material can they have the best effect of strengthening and toughening. For this reason, we must focus on the dispersion of whiskers during use. The dispersion steps are:
1. Select the dispersion medium. Water, ethanol, isopropanol, etc. are acceptable
2. It is necessary to select an appropriate dispersant. PH value close to 7
3. Adjust the PH value of the dispersion medium. Generally adjust to 8
4. Stir evenly.

Precautions for silicon carbide whiskers:
1. Cannot be dispersed by ultrasonic
2. Can not be dispersed with a ball mill

3. In an aerobic environment, the heating temperature of the whiskers shall not exceed 700℃
