Synthesis of Silicon Carbide and Silicon Nitride using Biomass Husks

Among modern ceramic materials, silicon carbide and silicon nitride have several high-tech applications. But the conventional production methods of both are energy intensive, and hence expensive. This detailed research work deals with the synthesis of these materials from a low-cost agro-industrial by-product. The contents encompass the subject, from theoretical studies to practical approach, equally useful for researchers and students in the field of Materials Science.
