Mf. Gozzi et Ivp. Yoshida, STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION OF A POLY(METHYLSILANE) TETRA-ALLYLSILANE MIXTURE INTO SILICON-CARBIDE/, European Polymer Journal, 33(8), 1997, pp. 1301-1306
A polymeric precursor to SiC based on the mixture between poly(methyls
ilane) and tetra-allylsilane was prepared. The structural evolution by
which this precursor system undergoes until its conversion to SiC was
monitored by IR, Raman, C-13 and Si-29 MAS NMR spectroscopies, and by
XRD techniques. Thermal and density measurements were also run. The r
ole of the hydrosilylation reaction between Si-H and C=C moities on th
e ceramic conversion was also investigated. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science
