This study introduces a potentially sustainable binder-assisted atmospheric sintering technique for \u03b2-SiC formation from SiO2 and activated carbon, eliminating the need for vacuum or protective gas environments. Using a hybrid graphite\u2013mullite insulation system with sacrificial carbon barriers, \u03b2-SiC was successfully synthesized at temperatures as low as 1350 \u00b0C. The hybrid insulation acts as a passive getter, creating a localized reducing atmosphere, while the UF resin residue creates a carbon skeleton that enhances particle necking. XRD analyses confirmed the presence of 3C-SiC as the dominant phase, while binder addition markedly enhanced densification and mechanical strength. Incorporating urea\u2013formaldehyde resin achieved a compressive strength of 25.5 MPa after only 15 min of sintering at 1500 \u00b0C\u2500representing a 4-fold improvement over binder-free samples. Furthermore, specific surface area measurements revealed that the resin-bonded samples achieved substantial microstructural densification (0.35 m2\/g) by contributing to the reduction of accessible open pore networks. This work provides a potentially scalable and simplified atmospheric processing strategy for SiC production, showing that a fully atmospheric route combined with binder chemistry can yield improved mechanical performance in \u03b2-SiC ceramics at significantly reduced temperature and time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acsomega.6c03885","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]],"date-time":"2026-07-27T08:28:53Z","timestamp":1785140933000},"page":"46465-46474","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Novel Binder-Assisted\nAtmospheric Sintering Route\nfor Silicon Carbide (SiC) Production"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yasemin","family":"Gulce","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Erciyes University , , ,","place":["Kayseri, Turkey, 38039"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7757-4577","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Selda","family":"Topcu Sendogdular","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Erciyes University , , ,","place":["Kayseri, Turkey, 38039"]},{"name":"Erciyes University , , ,","place":["Kayseri, Turkey, 38039"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Levent","family":"Sendogdular","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Erciyes University , , ,","place":["Kayseri, Turkey, 38039"]},{"name":"Erciyes University , , ,","place":["Kayseri, Turkey, 38039"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026081110131165600_cit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmatsci.2015.01.003","article-title":"Recent progress\nin synthesis, properties and potential applications of SiC nanomaterials","volume":"72","author":"Wu","year":"2015","journal-title":"Prog.
