Abstract
Fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites are prepared by coating refractory fibers having a interfacial coating thereon with a curable preceramic polymer having a char which contains greater than about 50% sealant oxide atoms followed by forming the coated fibers into the desired shape, curing the coated fibers to form a pre-preg, heating the pre-preg to form a composite and heating the composite in an oxidizing environment to form an in situ sealant oxide coating on the composite. The resultant composites have good oxidation resistance at high temperature as well as good strength and toughness.
