Abstract

The preparation of new, hybrid pre-ceramic organosilicon polymers are described. These hybrid polymers were prepared by reactions of polysilazanes and polysiloxanes. Ceramic materials containing Si-O-N were obtained with high yields (∼ 80%) by pyrolyzing these new polymers at low temperatures (< 800°C). A wide range of chemical compositions and properties can be obtained by using different ratios of polysilazanes and polysiloxanes. Microstructural characterization and densification studies of these ceramic materials are presented.
