From Kraft Pulp Fibers to Si-O-C Ceramics via Sol-Gel Synthesis: Impact of Functionalization and Pre-Pyrolysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigated the fabrication of C/SiO₂ ceramics using kraft pulp fibers (KF) and phosphorylated kraft pulp fibers (PKF) impregnated with a ceramic precursor via a sol-gel route. The rheological behaviour coupled to infrared spectroscopy of the ceramic precursor was examined to optimize the drying process of the impregnated preforms. Thermo-gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the thermal behaviour and micro-structure of the ceramics. The PKF exhibited a superior thermal stability, and enhanced fiber/ceramic interactions compared to untreated KF. The impact of the fiber functionalization and of the pre-pyrolysis of PKF on fiber/ceramic interactions was also explored. The in-situ formation of carbon fibers during heat treatment from PKF appears to be a more effective approach for developing future environmentally sustainable ceramic matrix composites (CMCs).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
