Silicon carbide (SiC) whiskers were formed by microwave and conventional heating in this study. SiC whiskers with diameters in the nanometer range were synthesized by reducing silica with various forms of carbon in a microwave furnace. The effects of temperature and type of heating on the production of SiC whiskers, as well as the role of carbon, are discussed here.
