Preparation of Polycarbosilane Using a Catalytic Process and Its Practical Uses

摘要

Polycarbosilane is the most typical polymeric precursor for SiC ceramic. In this study, liquid type polycarbosilane was synthesized from polydimethylsilane in the presence of solid acid catalyst at 350 deg C. The molecular weights of the polycarbosilane were ranged between 350 and 530. Synthesized polycarbosilane was characterized with ~(29)Si Solid NMR, FT-IR and GPC analysis. The synthesized polycarbosilane can be used as a good organometallic precursor for SiC coating via chemical vapor deposition or spin coating.
