Ceramic Materials from Preceramic Organometallic Copolymers: Progress Report

摘要

The work undertaken over the last 6 months involved the synthesis of some Si-C-N homopolymers/copolymers, solution characterization of same by NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses, pyrolysis under N sub 2 and NH sub 3 and product/char characterization by FT-IR spectroscopy, and preliminary thermolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry experiments on model systems and some thermolysates. One, or possibly two, scientific presentations(s) will be made on the preliminary results at the ACS National Meeting in Los Angeles, California. A full manuscript is also planned for preparation over the next few months. (ERA citation 13:022103)
