Abstract
Abstract Preceramic polymer dispersions which have particular utility in providing protective ceramic coatings having low moisture sensitivity on carbon/carbon composites, graphite, carbon fibers, and other normally oxidizable materials are prepared by dispersing about 0-3 parts by weight of aluminum-silicon eutectic, about 0-4 parts by weight of silicon carbide, about 1.5-5 parts by weight of silicon boride, and about 0.4-5 parts by weight of silicon metal in a solution or dispesion obtained by dispersing about 0.1-1.0 parts by weight of a Group IIA metal salt in an organoborosilazane polymer obtained by reacting about 0.25-20 parts by weight of a trialkoxy-, triaryloxy-, or tri(arylalkoxy)boroxine with one part by weight of a polysilazane in an organic solvent and, if desired, heating the dispersion to convert it to a solution.
