Abstract
Abstract Polysilazane addition polymers are prepared by (1) reacting ammonia with one or more halogenated organic silicon compounds to produce a cyclic silazane ammonolysis product and (2) reacting the ammonolysis product with from 0.1% to 30% by weight of an isocyanate, isothiocyanate, ketene, thioketene, carbodiimide, or carbon disulfide. Polysilazane addition polymers containing alkenyl or alkynyl groups can be cured by supplying energy to generate free radicals. The cured or uncured polymers can be pyrolyzed to produce silicon nitride-containing ceramic materials.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A process for preparing a partially cross-linked polysilazane addition polymer comprising (1) preparing a silazane ammonolysis product by reacting ammonia with a halogenated silicon compound selected from the group consisting of RSiX 3 , RR'SiX 2 and mixtures thereof, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br and I; and R and R' are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of H, substituted or unsubstituted 1-6 carbon alkyl, aryl, 1-6 carbon alkenyl and 1-6 carbon alkynyl groups, at least one of the halogenated silicon compounds containing a Si-H bond, (2) reacting the silazane ammonolysis product with from about 0.1% to about 30% by weight, based on the weight of the ammonolysis product, of a compound selected from the group consisting of isocyanates, isothiocyanates, ketenes, thioketenes, carbodiimides and carbon disulfide to form a polysilazane addition polymer, and (3) heating to a temperature not exceeding 300° C. for a time sufficient to partially cross-link the addition polymer and increase the viscosity to a value suitable for the desired end use of the polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
