Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) have been intensively studied for nearly 50 years due to
their unique advantages to producing ceramic fibers, coatings, foams, nanocomposites and …

Porous ceramics, in particular cellular ceramics with open and closed porosity, are key
enabling components in different demanding applications because of their favorable set of …

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) are fabricated through the controlled pyrolysis of silicon-
based polymeric precursors. Their structure, and subsequent material responses, are highly …

Micro-and macro-cellular SiCN and SiOCN foams were produced via two different routes by
using a polysilazane preceramic polymer. In the first route, a mixture of partially cross-linked …

Nanocomposites consisting of precursor-derived Si–C–N ceramics incorporated with carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) were successfully prepared by casting of a mixture of CNTs and a liquid …

In this work, polycyclic silazane/siloxane networks bearing SiO and SiN bonds were
synthesized, via hydrosilylation reaction, from cyclotrisilazane,[CH2CH (CH3) SiNH] 3, and …

Structural evolution and crystallization behavior between 600° C and 1450° C during the
preparation of bulk SiC/B 4 C/C nanocomposites by the pyrolysis of CB‐PSA preceramic …

The isothermal mass loss of two polymer-derived ceramics with compositions SiC1. 4N0. 9
and SiC1. 5N1. 0B0. 05 were measured as a function of time using thermal gravimetric …

Inorganic ceramic materials of the system Si‐(B‐) C‐N which are produced from preceramic
polymers by solid state thermolysis have gained much interest during the last years because …

Thermodynamic modelling has been used to explain structural transformations during
crystallization of amorphous Si–C–N polymer derived ceramics. Nanocrystalline SiC and …
