| KiON CERASET Ultra is a solid polysilazane that softens upon heating. KiON CERASET Ultra Polysilazane can be melt- or solvent- spun into fibers. Fibers spun from KiON Ceraset Ultra Polysilazane are readily shape stabilized prior to pyrolysis by various methods including radical- or UV-initiated curing processes. The resulting fibers can then be pyrolyzed to silicon carbide, silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, or silicon carboxynitride by heating to 1,000°C. The final ceramic phase is dependent upon the pyrolysis atmosphere. The ceramic yield as measured by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is 84 % in a nitrogen atmosphere. Applications Ceramic Fibers, Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC’s), Metal Matrix Composites (MMC’s), Ceramic Joining, SiC/Si3N4 coatings for C/C composites. Information provided by KiON Corporation |
