- Abstract
FIBRES of SiC are prepared1-4 from the polycarbosilane which, in various forms, is made into a precursor by melt-spinning: the precursor is then heated to produce the SiC fibre. Ceramics are produced in this way by heating the organosilicon polymer. The organic precursor is prepared in a subtle form (for example, as fibres) which is extremely difficult to produce from an inorganic precursor. On heating the organic precursor a ceramic skeleton remains. This inorganic residue derived from an organosilicon polymer possesses characteristics not previously known and these are reported here.
