If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

editPolymer derived ceramics
editChemistry
editPDCs are mainly fabricated through the pyrolysis of preceramic polymers.
In the families of preceramic polymers, polysiloxanes are the most famous preceramic polymers. The backbones comprise carbon and oxygen atoms. Poly(organo)siloxanes are polysiloxanes with organic groups in the backbones, e.g., polyborosiloxanes, poly(carbosiloxanes). Another important category of preceramic polymers are polycarbosilanes and poly(organo)carbosilanes, containing alternating carbon and silicone atoms in the backbones. Similarly, polymers made up of Si-N bonds are classified as polysilazane, poly(organosilazanes) and poly(organosilylcarbodiimides).[1] Different polymer compositions influence processing temperatures, microstructure transitions, ceramic yields and stabilities.[2]
The conversion of preceramic polymers to PDCs can be divided into four phases, shaping, cross-linking, pyrolysis, crystallization. Typically, PDC processing is completed at 1100°C-1300°C. To form a crystalline PDC, some materials require higher temperature to crystalize, usually over 1700°C.[3]
Properties
editPDCs are characteristic with many properties, including:[4]
- Mechanical properties: high hardness, modulus and strength.
- Stability in extreme environments: good thermal stability, high oxidation and corrosion resistance.
- Adhesion properties: high adhesive attraction and low surface tension.
- Durability: wear resistance, anti-fouling and anti-biofilm formation properties.
- Low toxicity and biocompatibility.
The combination of PDCs and other materials with different properties can develop combining properties for PDC-based composite materials. PDC-based composite materials can extend functions and usages of PDCs to a wide range of areas, for example, in biological, medical, electrical, magnetic, engineering and optical applications.[5]
Uses
editCoatings
editCompared with other coating methods, the thermal treatment of PDC processing is simple and low-cost. PDC coatings are good components in electronic devices and gas separation membranes. Due to the intrinsic stability of PDC materials, PDC coatings are also commonly used in environmental barrier coatings (EBCs).[3]
3D printing
editSpecific 3D printing techniques such as direct ink writing (DIW), stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) can control the structure of preceramic polymers from nanoscale to macroscale. 3D printing of PDCs can facilitate the fabrication and integration of advanced ceramic materials.[6]
Biomedical engineering
editBiocompatible PDCs and PDC-based composites can be applied in various biological systems. They are usually used to produce interface or surface with multi-functionality and complex shapes for biomedical applications, such as tissue regeneration, implant design, drug delivery, and wound dressing.[7]
Electronics
editHybrid PDC materials are feasible and tunable for substrate manufacturing in lithium ion batteries, sensors, actuators, high temperature electrical devices, etc. Common processing strategies of PDC composites for electronic applications include chemical modification, blending with metal or metal oxides, and incorporating with functional fillers.[5]
