SYNTACTIC FOAMS BASED ON HOLLOW CERAMIC MICROSPHERES AND POLYCARBOSILANE

Syntactic foams based on hollow ceramic microspheres and the ceramic-forming binder polycarbosilane, capable of transition to silicon carbide at elevated temperatures, are considered. The processes of heat treatment of compositions and the transition of polycarbosilane to silicon carbide are considered. The physicomechanical and thermophysical characteristics of syntactic foams are studied.
