Biomorphic silicon carbide (bioSiC®) is an SiC-based advanced ceramic material, fabricated through a cost effective and environment friendly process that uses cellulose as its starting point.

BioSiC® shows excellent thermo-mechanical performance, chemical and structural stability, in a wide interval of temperatures. It’s possible to tailor the thermal and electrical properties of these materials to a wide range of values to satisfy device requirements.
