Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to preceramic polymers incorporating boron and their application in the sintering of SiC ceramics. The present invention is also directed to a process for preparing a boron-substituted polysilazane which involves preparing a silazane ammonolysis product by reacting ammonia with a halogenated silicon compound selected from the group consisting of RSiX 3 , RR'SiX 2 , RR'R"SiX, SiX 4 and mixtures thereof, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br and I; and R, R' and R" are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of H, substituted or unsubstituted 1-6 carbon alkyl groups, aryl groups, 2-6 carbon alkenyl groups and 2-6 carbon alkynyl groups, wherein at least one of the halogenated silicon compounds may comprise at least one member selected from the group consisting of alkenyl groups and alkynyl groups; and reacting the silazane ammonolysis product with a borane containing at least one B-H group per molecule under conditions and for a time sufficient to form a boron-substituted polysilazane containing boron-carbon bonds.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 100 words
A process for preparing a sintered SiC-containing article comprising 1) shaping a composition comprising a boron-substituted polysilazane wherein the boron is derived from a borane and is bound to the polysilazane through boron-carbon bonds, said boron-substituted polysilazane comprising a member selected from the group consisting of alkenyl groups and alkynyl groups, 2) crosslinking said boron-substituted polysilazane by supplying an energy input selected from the group consisting of heat, UV irradiation, electron beam irradiation and gamma-ray irradiation, and 3) forming a sintered SiC-containing article from the crosslinked composition by heating to a temperature of greater than or equal to 1600° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 100 words
A process for preparing a sintered SiC-containing article comprising 1) shaping a composition comprising a boron-substituted polysilazane wherein the boron is derived from a borane and is bound to the polysilazane through boron-carbon bonds, said boron-substituted polysilazane comprising a member selected from the group consisting of alkenyl groups and alkynyl groups, 2) crosslinking said boron-substituted polysilazane by supplying an energy input selected from the group consisting of heat, UV irradiation, electron beam irradiation and gamma-ray irradiation, and 3) forming a sintered SiC-containing article from the crosslinked composition by heating to a temperature of greater than or equal to 1600° C.
