Fabrication of Macroporous SiCN Ceramics from Mixed Polysilazanes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Macroporous polymer-derived SiCN ceramics are fabricated directly by mixing polysilazane precursors followed with crosslinking and pyrolysis. Two kinds of polysilazanes namely polyvinylsilazane and polyhydrosilazane are mixed, crosslinked by 2, 2-Azo-bis-isobutyronitrile to form resins before pyrolyzed to form ceramics in argon flow at 1000°C. The density of the SiCN ceramic is 1.65 g/cm3 with corresponding porosity of 30 % compared to dense SiCN ceramics. SEM images show that the ceramics possess high porosity and homogeneous honeycomb-like macropores of ~2 μm. The porous SiCN exhibits good mechanical property with Vicker hardness of 11-13 GPa under a load of 0.2 kg.
