Film formed by carbon nanotubes is usually called carbon nanotube film (CNTf). In the present study, CNTf fabricated by floating catalyst method was used to prepare CNTf/SiC ceramic matrix composites by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). Mechanical and electrical properties of the resulting CNTf/SiC composites with different CVI cycles were investigated and discussed, and the results revealed that the CNTf has a good adaptability to CVI method. Tensile test demonstrated an excellent mechanical performance of the composites with highest tensile strength of 646Â MPa after 2 CVI cycles, and the strength has a decline after 3 CVI cycles for an excessively dense matrix. While, the elastic modulus of the composite increased with the CVI cycles and reached 301Â GPa after 3 CVI cycles. Tensile fracture morphologies of the composites were analyzed by scanning electron microscope to study the performance change laws with the CVI cycles. With SiC ceramic matrix infiltrated into the CNTf, enhanced electrical conductivity of the CNTf/SiC composite compared to pure CNTf was also obtained, from 368Â S/cm to 588Â S/cm. Conductivity of the SiC matrix with free carbon forming in the CVI process was considered as the reason.
