Synthesis of poly(dialkyl or monoalkyl)silanes as silicon carbide precursors for ceramic matrix composites

유기염화실란을 출발물질로 사용하고 초음파 반응 방법을 이용하여 알칼리 금속과 반응시켜 탈염소축합반응으로 폴리(디알킬)실란과 폴리(모노알킬)실란 등의 폴리알킬실란들을 합성하고 이들의 열적성질을 TGA로 조사하여 각각 10-20%와 40-60%의 잔류물 수득률을 얻었고 상업용 SiC 분말과 함께 펠렛 디스크를 성형하여 열분해 과정과 SEM, XRD 등으로 세라믹 복합체 응용 가능성을 조사하였다. Polyalkylsilanes such as poly(dialkyl)silanes and poly(monoalkyl)silanes were synthesized by sonochemical dechlorination-condensation method from (dialkyl or monoalkyl)chlorosilanes with sodium metal. Those polyalkylsilanes were analyzed for the properties such as thermal behaviors from TGA analysis and obtained ceramic yields of 10-20% for poly(dialkyl)silanes and 40-60% for poly(monoalkyl)silanes. Ceramic composite discs were prepared by the combined mixture of polyalkylsilanes and SiC powder and were tested by TGA and analyzed by SEM and XRD for the application as binder for ceramic composite precursors.
