Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain silicon nitride whisker with simple operation by supporting polysiloxanes having a specific substituent on a carbonaceous substance and heating in nitrogen stream. CONSTITUTION:The objective silicon nitride whisker is produced by supporting dimethylpolysiloxane, ether methylpolysiloxane or methylalkylpolysiloxane (organic silicon compounds) on a carbonaceous substance and treating in nitrogen gas stream at 1,200-1,500 deg.C. The carbonaceous substance supporting said polysiloxanes is coke, fiber or activated carbon. There is no or extremely little formation of whisker by using other inorganic substances such as alumina or silicon dioxide. It is necessary to support the polysiloxane on a carbonaceous substance in order to produce a large quantity of whiskers. The coke may be a green coke containing several % of volatile component (organic material) or a calcined coke produced by calcining the green coke.

<Prior Art and Problems> Several methods have already been proposed for producing silicon nitride whiskers. For example, after mixing and granulating silicon dioxide and aluminum, in a nitrogen gas stream -
Treated at 1400 to 1800°C in the presence of a carbon oxide source (Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-54120) A molded body of oxides such as silicon nitride and silicon dioxide is heated in a nitrogen gas atmosphere for 14 hours.
Method of treatment at 00 to 1900°C
No. 00), carbon monoxide gas was added to silicon dioxide at 110%
A method in which nitrogen gas is added to a mixed gas of silicon monoxide gas and carbon gas by bringing them into contact at 0°C or higher (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6
2-87497). All of these methods use inorganic compounds such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride as main components, and when using silicon dioxide as a raw material, there is a problem in that it must be reduced to silicon monoxide. Furthermore, when a molded body of silicon dioxide and aluminum or a molded body of silicon nitride and oxide is used, there is a problem that the amount of silicon nitride whiskers produced is small.

The same applies to fibers. It is better to pulverize the coke in order to increase the amount of coke supported.

The method of supporting polysiloxanes on a carbonaceous material is to dissolve the polysiloxane in a solvent such as benzene or toluene, add the carbonaceous material thereto, and then remove the solvent. A carbonaceous material carrying polysiloxanes was placed in a heated container and heated for 12 hours in nitrogen gas.

Heat at 1500°C. At temperatures below 1200°C, silicon nitride whiskers are hardly produced;
Even if heated above, the amount of whiskers produced does not increase, and the holding time may be 1 hour or more.

By the above operations, the silicon nitride voice car is produced in the form of a white film at a location away from the position of the carbon container in which the carbonaceous material supporting polysiloxane is installed in the direction of flow of nitrogen gas. Therefore, it can be easily recovered by an appropriate method, for example, by peeling it off with a sharp edged object such as a knife or wiping it with a clean cloth. In this case, contaminants can be easily removed by processing in air at 500 to 600°C.

Example 1 1 g of dimethylpolysiloxane was collected in a beaker, and toluene lomt' was added thereto to dissolve it. Petroleum coke 1 crushed in this solution to an average particle size of 7 μm using a milling machine
After adding 0 g and mixing, the mixture was heated to 80°C to remove toluene. This has a width of 25 mm, a height of 20 mm, and a length of 50 mm.
It was placed in one end of a M graphite container and covered with a graphite plate. This was placed in a horizontal tube furnace having a length of 1000 m so that the sample was near the nitrogen gas inlet. Then, while flowing nitrogen gas at a rate of 5QQmm/min, the temperature was 1°C at a rate of 5°C per minute.
It was heated to 400°C and held for 1 hour. When the container was taken out after cooling to room temperature, the surface of the container away from the sample was covered with a white product. This was wiped with a cloth and the weight was measured, and the result was 0.09 g. When the shape was observed using a scanning electron microscope, it was found that the diameter was 1 as shown in Figure 1.
The fibers were approximately 2 μm in length and had a smooth surface. Selected area electron diffraction using a transmission electron microscope revealed that the material was a cubic single crystal, and X-ray diffraction revealed that it was α-silicon nitride.
