Hollow silicon boron nitride (Si-B-N) ceramic fibers with composition of Si0.3BN1.4 were prepared by melt-spinning, partial curing with trichlorosilane (HSiCl3), and pyrolysis of a novel polyborosilazane under NH3 up to 1000 ¡ãC. The polyborosilazane fibers with low ceramic yield were partially cured to make sure the hollow Si-B-N ceramic fibers could be fabricated after pyrolysis. The hollow Si-B-N ceramic fibers were ~ 16 ¦Ìm in diameter with inner hollow pore diameter of ~ 4 ¦Ìm, and showed good average tensile strength of 1.03 GPa and elastic modulus of 106 GPa. Moreover, the hollow Si-B-N ceramic fibers also exhibited excellent dielectric properties with the average dielectric constant real part and loss tangent about 3.06 and 0.0032 at 2-18 GHz, respectively, making them to be promising microwave-transparent materials.
