Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title whiskers which is of high purity and used for reinforcing a composite material, by effecting vapor-phase pyrolysis of an organosilicon compound in a specific range of Si/C molar ratio or a mixture thereof with a hydrocarbon compound in the presence of a reductive carrier gas containing an S compound or an inert carrier gas. CONSTITUTION:An organosilicon compound of 0.1-2 Si/C molar ratio such as a silane or siloxane or a mixture thereof with a hydrocarbon compound (aliphatic or aromatic) is subjected to vapor-phase pyrolysis at 1,100-1,500 deg.C in the presence of a reductive or inert carrier gas (H2 or N2) containing an S compound such as hydrogen sulfide or a mercaptan to give the title whiskers.
