physical vapor transport (PVT)
technique, chemical vapor deposition (CVD),
self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS),
sol–gel, microwave, and plasma driven reactions [6–12].
In addition, special attention was given in recent years
towards synthesis of nanosized SiC powder to allow the
production of high performance products like structural
components. Particularly, plasma techniques have been
attractive for nanoscale synthesis due to the high energy
available and the short reaction time required.
