elastic modulus from the Halpin-Tsai equation is possibly resulted from the<br />

residual stress due to the large shrinkage of nanocomposites during pyrolysis.<br />

Katsuda et al. determined the fracture toughness the Si-C-N/MWNT nanocomposites<br />

prepared by casting of a mixture of MWNTs <strong>and</strong> polyureasilazane followed by
