The microstructure and properties of porous Si/silicon carbide (SiC) composites manufactured from nonwoven cellulosic fabrics have been investigated. A fibrillar reaction product with a microstructure reproducing the initial preform morphology consisting of β‐SiC and unreacted Si was obtained. Improvement of strength is expected to be achieved by increase of SiC content and reduction of porosity.
