Abstract

Ceramics can be prepared by pyrolysis of organosilicon polymers. Advantages of this method of ceramics preparation are; the ability to prepare shapes difficult to achieve by other methods such as fibers and films; the ability to achieve high purity because reagents used to prepare the polymer can be purified by well established chemical methods; processing at lower temperature than conventional methods [2].
