New Structures of Preceramic Polysilazanes Synthesized by Transition Metal Catalysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Further capability of silazane dehydrocoupling polymerization catalyzed by ruthenium carbonyl (20–200 ppm) is demonstrated in a series of reactions. Ammonia and monomethylamine are used as reactants to bridge oligomers and polymers containing Si-H bonds to provide higher molecular weight polymers with higher latent reactivity and to increase the ceramic yields and the nitrogen-to-carbon ratio in the final ceramic compositions. New types of tractable polymers containing cyclomers having [MeSiHNH] units with molecular weights over 2000 d are formed. Various polymeric properties (e.g., viscosities, softening and melting points) and ceramic yields up to 80–85 wt% are obtained by controlling the catalytic reaction conditions.
