Abstract

The pyrolysis of a poly ethylsilazane was studied using a CO2-laser beam heated solid state MAS-NMR probe head. Chemical structures of the intermediate stages could be identified. The analogy of the pyrolysis evolution for the following two different methods could be shown: A) in an inert gas furnace conventionally prepared and B) laser irradiated in the NMR probe head under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions. Samples prepared by method A were studied by 29Si MAS-NMR and samples prepared by method B were studied with an appropriate cross polarization time by 29Si CP-MAS-NMR. Both experiments showed the same mechanisms for the pyrolysis as the polymer is transformed into a Si3N4/C ceramic.
