The CNT-SiC coating was prepared by direct growth of CNTs on C/C surface at 700 °C followed by deposition of SiC using chemical vapor deposition at 1150 °C for 1 h. SiC was deposited on the CNTs as well as the interface between CNTs and C/C, making CNTs strongly rooted on C/C surface. The final CNT-SiC coating consisted of two layers: the CNT-SiC layer and SiC layer. In comparison to the SiC coating, the CNT-SiC coating showed fewer cracks and a better oxidation resistance because the CNTs reduce the stress in the coating caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion between C/C and SiC., Composites Part B: Engineering, 42(8), pp.2158-2162; 2011}, pages = {2158--2162}, title = {A carbon nanotube–enhanced SiC coating for the oxidation protection of C/C composite materials}, volume = {42}, year = {2011} }
