A novel variety of silicon-based ceramic fibers has been prepared from a preceramic organosilicon polymers called polytantalocarbosilane (PTaCS). This melt-spinnable polymer has been synthesized by thermally induced reactions between tantalum (V) tetraethoxyacetylacetonate (Ta(Acac)(OEt)4) and polysilacarbosilane (PSCS). The polymer in which [–Si–C–]n chains are crosslinked via Ta-containing bridges as identified by infrared spectroscopy, XPS and NMR, is decomposed in high ceramic yield (76%) and can be spun in the molten state into fibers to be cured in air then pyrolyzed in flowing nitrogen at 1200 °C into amorphous SiTaC(O) fibers. Complete characterization of this new generation of silicon-based ceramic fibers was made based on mechanical tests, XRD and SEM. These fibers exhibit relatively good mechanical properties and excellent high-temperature stability with good oxidation resistance.
Research highlights▶ This paper reports the preparation and characterization of a novel variety of silicon-based ceramic fibers. ▶ In the present paper, we provide a detailed picture of the preparation process of SiTaC(O) ceramic fibers from a polytantalosilane. ▶ We have fully characterized the polymer by FT-IR, NMR, chemical composition, GPC and TGA as well as the chemical composition, the structure, the texture, and the mechanical properties of the ceramic fibers by XPS, SEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mechanical tests.
