Abstract

Si-C-N-O monofilaments were spun from a molten new polycarbosilazane (PCSZ) precursor, cured under oxygen within the temperature range 90–230 °C and submitted to a pyrolysis treatment in argon up to 1600 °C. The curing step was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)and infrared (i.r.) analysis. The effect of the curing conditions on the weight loss, composition, structure and tensile properties was characterized after pyrolysis. The main reaction occurring during the curing step is the oxidation of Si-H bonds. The mechanical characteristics after pyrolysis have maximum values (σR=1850MPa and E=185 GPa) for a curing temperature θR=140 °C, corresponding to an oxygen atomic concentration of 12%. The lowering of σR and E observed when θR ≠ 140 °C could be due to: (i) a tendency of the monofilaments to stick to one another during pyrolysis (θR < 140 °C) and (ii) the evolution of gaseous oxygen-containing species during pyrolysis as well as an increase in Si-O bonds (θR>140 °C). The Si-C-N-O monofilaments remain amorphous up to 1400 °C whatever their oxygen concentration is.
