Why is it important?

Biomasses are converted to useful SiC nanowires/whiskers. The whisker yield was enormous by the addition of polycarbosilane.

Perspectives

Biological waste materials like rice husk and coconut shell was successfully transformed to structurally and functionally applicable SiC. This process is economically viable due to the presence of robust resources.
