Porous SiOC ceramics were obtained from a new self-blowing precursor silicone resin DC217, by pyrolysis at 1200 degrees C in argon. Silicon carbide powders were incorporated into the silicone resin as inert fillers. The effects of the mean particle size of SiC fillers on the porosity, compressive strength and microstructure of the porous ceramics were investigated. With the mean particle size of SIC powders increasing from 5 mu m to 10 mu m, the porosity (total and open) of the porous ceramic increased and the compressive strength decreased. However, the porosity, compressive strength and cell morphology of the porous ceramics showed no evident changes when the mean particle size of fillers increased from 10 mu m to 15 mu m. Micrographs indicated that, when the mean particle size of fillers exceeded 5 mu m, the porous ceramics could have a well-defined and regular pore structure. Furthermore, comparing with the porous ceramics which fabricated under the same condition with the SiOC powders as fillers, the cell morphology was similar. But the compressive strength and the oxidation resistance of the porous ceramics with SiC powders as fillers were much better. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
