| SiCN composite nanopowders with different chemical composition and characteristics were synthesized by the RF induction plasma at atmospheric pressure. Frequently the as-produced powders exhibit a high degree of chemical disorder or structural defects. Because the composition and the microstructure of starting powders have a great influence on the properties of composite ceramics, the changes of chemical composition, crystallization, and morphology of the as-produced powders during heat treatment up to 1500 °C were investigated in detail. |
