Silicon carbide made by pyrolizing polymers. Method conceived for preparation of poly(decamethylcyclohexasilanes) as precursors for preparation of silicon carbide at high yield. Technical potential of polysilanes as precursors of SiC ceramics being explored. Potential limited by intractability of some polysilanes; formation of small, cyclic polycarbosilane fragments during pyrolysis; and overall low char yield and large shrinkage in conversion to ceramics.
