Abstract

Polycarbosilane is the most typical polymeric precursor for SiC ceramic. In this study, liquid type polycarbosilane was synthesized from polydimethylsilane in the presence of solid acid catalyst at 350°C. The molecular weights of the polycarbosilane were ranged between 350 and 530. Synthesized polycarbosilane was characterized with 29Si Solid NMR, FT-IR and GPC analysis. The synthesized polycarbosilane can be used as a good organometallic precursor for SiC coating via chemical vapor deposition or spin coating.
