Abstract

A BN rich layer grown on Nextel™312 fibers by appropriate ammonia treatments was evaluated using various complimentary techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)/ Parallel Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (PEELS in TEM). Three different ammonia treatments were studied. Ammonia treatment resulted in crystallization of the Nextel™312 fiber. The BN rich surface layer formed due to ammonia treatment was clearly detected in XPS and PEELS both before and after oxidation. The layer thickness was estimated to be between 5–10 nm. The layer was stable after oxidation treatment at 600°C for 100 hours. High resolution TEM observations of the fiber surface revealed a variable BN rich layer thickness. Patches of turbostratic BN were observed under certain conditions, however mostly the layer appeared to be amorphous.
