Abstract: In this paper the pyrolytic process of polycarbosilane mixed with nano nickel particles was studied. This process involves two stages: the transition of organosilicon polymer to inorganic amorphous state and then to crystallite. The dominative form in pyrolytic products is Ni2Si. The addition of nano nickel particles accelerates the growth of β-SiC and the increase of crystallite size.

Key words: polycarbosilane, nano material, nickel, pyrolysis, silicon carbide fibers
