Polysilazane can be divided into two categories: organopolysilazane (OPSZ) and perhydropolysilazane (PHPS). Polysilazane was discovered in the s. Due to the complicated preparation process, it was not launched in the 50s. It entered the stage of commercial development only in the s. Polysilazane synthesis methods include ammonolysis, aminolysis, hydrazinolysis, ring-opening polymerization, dehydrogenation coupling, etc. As research continues to deepen, the number of polysilazane synthesis methods will increase.

Polynitrogen silane is a new type of cutting-edge material. It is a ceramic material prepared with polynitrogen silane as a precursor. It has properties such as ultra-high temperature resistance, ultra-toughness, ultra-thinness, ultra-corrosion resistance, and ultra-high strength. In recent years, with the development of industrial technology, the global market demand for ceramic-based materials has been continuously released, which in turn has driven the growth of demand for polysilazane. It is expected that the global polysilazane market will maintain an average annual compound growth rate of more than 16.5% from to . rate growth.

1. Introduction to Silazane Polymers

Polysilazane is a type of inorganic polymer whose main chain has Si—N bonds as repeating units. Since A. Stock et al. first reported the use of ammonia gas to decompose chlorosilane to prepare polysilazane in , researchers have continued to study polysilazane for nearly a century. Compared with its similar polymer - polysiloxane whose main chain has Si-O chains as repeating units, the development and application of polysilazane is much inferior. There are two main reasons for this: first, most polysilazane is relatively active and has high reactivity with water, polar compounds, oxygen, etc., so storage and transportation are difficult; second, the preparation method of polysilazane It is not yet perfect and cannot effectively control the reaction products. The reaction products are complex and have low molar mass. Despite this, after nearly a century of development, commercial polysilazane products have been developed, such as Swiss Clariant, Japanese Teon, British AZ Electronic materials' perhydrogen polysilazane; American KiON's polyurea with the brand name "ceraset" Silazane and polysilazane; in addition, Dow Corning Company in the United States and Bayer in Germany also have some polysilazane products; domestically, the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed the PSN series of polysilazane. The successful commercialization of polysilazane has promoted its application research in various aspects, among which the research as a ceramic precursor is the most abundant.

Polysilazane as ceramic precursor

The method of obtaining ceramic materials by cracking polymers has unique advantages compared to the traditional inorganic powder sintering method. For example, ceramic materials can be prepared using the molding method of polymers, which has good processability; the chemical composition and structure can be obtained through polymer molecular design. Different ceramic materials.

(1) Used to prepare ceramic fibers

In the s, the rise of SiC fibers prepared from polymer precursors aroused researchers' interest in preparing Si3N4, Si3N4/SiC or SiCN fibers through polysilazane. At present, researchers have a deep understanding of the spinnability, spinning process, non-melting treatment method, cracking method, etc. of polysilazane, but previous research focused on melt spinning. Preparing fibers from liquid polysilazane requires the polysilazane to have a high viscosity to facilitate spinning; at the same time, the viscosity cannot change too quickly with temperature, otherwise the working window will be too narrow.

(2) Used to prepare bulk ceramic materials

The use of polymer precursors to prepare ceramic materials has unique advantages. However, the ceramics obtained in this way are not perfect: on the one hand, during the cracking process, some organic groups are removed and gas is generated, causing many pores inside the material; On the one hand, the material shrinks during the cracking process, and in severe cases, material cracking, warping and deformation may occur. To this end, researchers use different methods, such as hot pressing/cracking, liquid phase sintering, pre-cracking/bonding/cracking, pressure casting, etc., to solidify and crack polysilazane, resulting in relatively few defects. of ceramic materials. The hot pressing/cracking method is to grind the polysilazane solidified product into a solid powder, then hot press it into shape, and then crack it in an inert atmosphere to obtain amorphous SiCN ceramic material.

(3) Used to prepare ceramic coatings

Research on the preparation of ceramic coatings using organopolysilazane has yielded many interesting results. F. Kerm[3] and others designed a pilot plant for coating the surface of carbon fibers. From fiber surface treatment, impregnation in polysilazane solution, to coating curing and cracking, it can be carried out continuously, achieving Continuous processing of 10 000 m carbon fiber. In this process, the concentration of polysilazane is very important. If it is too low (polysilazane mass fraction is less than 2%), comprehensive protection of the fiber cannot be achieved. If it is too high (polysilazane mass fraction is greater than 10%), it will cause Coating chipped. However, polysilazane requires a higher concentration (polysilazane mass fraction 20% ~ 60%) when treating ceramic and metal surfaces to cover up larger defects on the substrate surface; in the pull (dip coating) and spin coating processes , usually multiple coatings are used.

(4) Used to prepare porous ceramic materials

Porous ceramics are widely used in filtration, catalysis, heat insulation, adsorption, etc. Polysilazane's many modification methods and good molding capabilities allow it to adopt a variety of pore-forming methods to prepare porous SiCN ceramic materials.

(5) Used to prepare ceramic MEMS components

(6) Used to prepare composite materials

Polysilazane as resin material

Although polysilazane itself is a polymer resin, there has been less research on it as a resin than on its use as a ceramic precursor. In this regard, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made some attempts, including directly using polysilazane as the resin matrix, and using it to modify allyl phenolic resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, etc., and has achieved a series of meaningful results.

3.Applications of Silazane Polymers

Polysilazane is used to resist oxidation of carbon materials

Carbon materials, such as graphite and carbon fiber, have low density, high performance, no creep, ultra-high temperature resistance in non-oxidizing environments, good fatigue resistance, specific heat and electrical conductivity between non-metals and metals, small thermal expansion coefficient, It has good corrosion resistance and other characteristics, and is an indispensable and important material in the field of high temperature resistance. However, the oxidation resistance of carbon materials is poor. When the temperature reaches above 400°C in the air environment, weight loss and strength decrease will occur.

For carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, when the oxidation weight loss rate reaches 2% to 5%, the mechanical properties decrease by 40% to 50%, which seriously limits its application. Therefore, it is crucial to improve the antioxidant properties of carbon fiber. German researchers coated polysilazane on carbon fiber filaments and solidified it at room temperature to form a coating. Through the assessment of the isothermal weight loss of the fiber in the muffle furnace, it was found that the coating can effectively increase the oxidation temperature of the carbon fiber, making the thermal stability temperature of the carbon fiber reach 750°C. They further coated polysilazane on the carbon fiber roving and solidified it at around 200°C. They found that the coating could also effectively improve the fiber's antioxidant properties and high-temperature stability.

Polysilazane for high temperature protection of metals

High-temperature anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation of metals has always been an important topic in the industry and scientific research circles. SiO2 or SiCN formed by the conversion of polysilazane has excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, due to the Si-N polarity in its structure, it is easy to combine with the metal substrate, so it is a good high-temperature resistant anti-corrosion coating material. At present, there are commercialized high-temperature resistant coating materials using polysilazane as the main raw material, which are mainly used in exhaust pipes, pistons, heat exchangers, etc. of cars and trucks.

Polysilazane for high temperature sealing

When ceramic parts or coatings are prepared by inorganic sintering or plasma spraying, the material always has a certain porosity, which will affect the air tightness of the material and thus its high temperature resistance, so it is necessary to perform hole sealing. Commonly used sealing agents are divided into two types: organic sealing agents and inorganic sealing agents. Organic sealing agents are mostly organic resins, which can only play a sealing role at low temperatures and lose their effectiveness after decomposing at high temperatures. Inorganic adhesives are generally a combination of inorganic powder and organic adhesives. Their temperature resistance is higher than that of organic sealing agents. However, as the temperature increases further and the adhesive decomposes, the gaps between the inorganic nanoparticles will cause the sealing effect to decrease. M. R. Mucalo et al. used polysilazane to coat alumina flakes. After high-temperature cracking, a Si3N4/Si2N2O coating was formed on the surface of the alumina. Through scanning electron microscopy, it was found that the density of alumina increased significantly, and the more times it was coated, the better. The higher the density.

Other

Due to the good temperature resistance of polysilazane, when appropriate fillers are added, high temperature insulation effects can be achieved. For example, adding hollow glass beads to polysilazane, spraying them on the surface of the composite material, and curing at 200°C can provide good high-temperature protection for the composite material.
