Abstract

We report on an alternative route to quaternary ceramics which can be prepared by polycocondensation of commercially available polysilazanes with the appropriate alkyl amides (M(NRR')X with M = B or P and subsequent pyrolysis in argon atmosphere at 1000°C. Ceramic monoliths are obtained if the modified polysilazane is crosslinked at 400°C for 3 h. After ball-milling, sieving and cold isostatic pressing the green body is directly pyrolysed to the appropriate monolith. The obtained material is amorphous to X-ray-diffraction. Investigations by electron spectroscopie imaging (ESI) in TEM indicate a homogeneous distribution of the elements M, Si, C and N (M = B, P) within a resolution of 2 nm. Upon annealing at elevated tempertures in a nitrogen atmosphere crystallization of the appropriate thermodynamically stable phases occurs around 1400°C yielding a micro/nano-, nano/nano- or micro/microcrystalline microstructure with design-tailored properties depending on the element M.
