This project is in the area of the Materials Chemistry                          Initiative.  An integrated, interdisciplinary research program                  will be pursued involving:  (1) the synthesis of molecular and                  polymeric precursors to silicon nitride and carbide, (2) the                    application of these precursors to the preparation of ceramic                   materials, and (3) the analysis of the microstructure and                       properties of the ceramic end products to determine the                         dependence on processing variables.  Various routes to                          organosilicon ring systems and ring-chain polymers will be                      investigated in pursuit of precursors to Silicon nitride and                    Silicon Carbide.  The pyrolysis chemistry of these compounds                    will be studied to establish design parameters for the                          preparation of precursors which will yield the ceramic end                      product in the desired final form in high yield and purity.                     This will include the use of volatile compounds for chemical                    vapor deposition as well as oligomers and polymers of low                       volatility for the preparation of high purity powders of                        controlled morphology, as sintering aids and for direct                         pyrolysis to monolithic ceramics.
