Abstract
A polytitanocarbosilane, which is useful as the precursor polymer for ceramic fibre, was synthesized using polydimethylsilane, polyborodiphenylsiloxane and titanium tetraisopropoxide. The polytitanocarbosilane was melt-spun and using the continuous heat-treatment process from the polymer fibre to ceramic fibre, flexible Si-Ti-C-O fibre was produced. The density, tensile strength and Young's modulus of this amorphous ceramic fibre were found to be 2.35 g cm−3, 3.0±0.2 and 220±10 GPa, respectively. The Si-Ti-C-O fibre retained its high tensile strength to higher temperatures (about 1200° C). The specific resistance of this ceramic fibre covered a wide range of 107 to 10−1ωcm. This ceramic fibre is considered to be useful as reinforcement fibre for composites.
