Abstract
Metal-containing (1.5 to 11 wt%) nanoparticles embedded in preceramic polym ers were prepared via thermolysis of metal-containing compounds (MCl4, CP2M Cl2, MBz(4); M = Ti, Zr) in molten oligosilacarbosilane. The materials were characterized by small-angle x-ray scattering, XPS, x-ray RED, and EXAFS. The results show that the nanoparticles (2-20 nm in size) have a complex co mposition (metallic, chloride, and oxide components) and are linked to the polymer matrix by M-C and/or M-Si bonds.
