The goal of this research is to develop polymeric precursors for                TiN and related transition metal nitride ceramic fibers.  This                  work will involve a detailed exploration of the synthesis and                   chemistry of titanium-imido polymers (Ti(NR)2)x prepared by the                 reaction of Ti(NR'2)4 reagents with primary amines.  Preliminary                experiments indicate that these polymers can be drawn into fibers               and the fibers then converted into TiN ceramic fibers.  The in-                 depth characterization of the polymer to ceramic conversion will                constitute an important part of the proposed research as will the               materials characterization of the TiN ceramics which result from                the polymeric precursors.  Extensions of the research to                        developing polymeric precursors for other transition metal and                  rare earth nitrides and phosphides is also planned.
