The morphology,crystal defects and chemical compositions of surfaces in two kinds of SiCwhiskers related to their growth mechanism have been studied by means of electronmicroscopy and surface chemical analyses.Based upon the experimental results,five criteriafor evaluating the whisker microstructure were suggested as:proportion of the perfect singlecrystals,morphology and dimensions,defects and their distribution,the bulk and surfacechemistries,and crystallographic characteristics.
