Synthesis and characterization of preceramic precursors
- Univ. of Puerto Rico, Cayey (Puerto Rico)
The reaction of trichloroborazine with acetylides was investigated and found to result in the formation of potential precursors to ceramics, such as boron nitride (BN) and boron carbide (B{sub 4}C). The synthesis of molecular precursors to these ceramics is important since they will help to solve problems associated with traditional techniques used for the formation of these ceramics, such as coating substrates with suitable precursors to ceramic composites which are soluble in organic solvents. These precursors can find applications in modification of surfaces, studies of interactions between surface and ceramic, and new understanding in the topography and structure of the synthesized material. Conventional synthetic techniques in inorganic chemistry were utilized for the synthesis of these preceramic materials, these include, high vacuum line and bench top chemistry techniques. Partial characterization of the synthesized compounds was achieved by the use of standard characterization techniques in this field, such as multinuclear magnetic resonance experiments, and infrared spectroscopy.
