Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a method of producing silazane polymers with silicon functional groups attached to the nitrogen. The method comprises treating a silazane polymer containing an N-H bond with an alkyllithium and then reacting the resultant silazane polymer with a chlorosilane. The invention also relates to novel silazane polymers produced by the above process as well as the use of these polymers to form ceramic materials.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 54 words
A method of adding silicon functional groups on a silazane polymer containing N-H bonds comprising: treating the silazane polymer containing the N-H bonds with an alkyllithium to form a silazane polymer containing LiN bonds; and reacting the silazane polymer containing Li-N bonds with a chlorosilane to form a silazane polymer with silicon functional groups.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 54 words
A method of adding silicon functional groups on a silazane polymer containing N-H bonds comprising: treating the silazane polymer containing the N-H bonds with an alkyllithium to form a silazane polymer containing LiN bonds; and reacting the silazane polymer containing Li-N bonds with a chlorosilane to form a silazane polymer with silicon functional groups.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alkyllithium is butyllithium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the treating and reacting are performed in a solvent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 11 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the solvent is an ether.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 10 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the ether is tetrahydrofuran.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the silazane polymer is selected from the group consisting of hydridopolysilazane and methylpolydisilylazane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 19 words
The method of claim 5 wherein the silazane polymer is selected from the group consisting of hydridopolysilazane and methylpolydisilylazane.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 40 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the chlorosilane has the formula R a SiCl b in which each R is independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group, a is 2 or 3, b is 1 or 2 and a+b equals 4.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 29 words
The method of claim 8 wherein at least one of the R groups is a hydrocarbon group of the formula --(CH 2 ) x CHCH 2 , wherein x=0-32.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 40 words
The method of claim 7 wherein the chlorosilane has the formula R a SiCl b in which each R is independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group, a is 2 or 3, b is 1 or 2 and a+b equals 4.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 29 words
The method of claim 10 wherein at least one of the R groups is a hydrocarbon group of the formula --(CH 2 ) x CHCH 2 , wherein x=0-32.
