Aminoborane polymers as precursors of C-N-B ceramic materials

Journal Article · · J. Am. Ceram. Soc.; (United States)

Aminoborane polymers were prepared via condensation reactions between polyfunctional amines and either triethylborane or tris(dimenthylamino) borane. The products were characterized by chemical and spectroscopic analyses. The thermal degradation of these materials was studied to establish pyrolytic pathways and to evaluate their potential as precursors to C-N-B ceramic materials. The borane condensation products with 4,4'-methylenedipyrazole, o-phenylenediamine, and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine produced relatively high ceramic yields at 800/sup 0/C, whereas that with diethylenetriamine decomposed into partially volatile oligomers.
