Abstract

Polycarbosilane(PCS) is an important precursor for melt-spinning the silicon carbide(SiC) fibers and manufacturing ceramics. The PCS is a metal-organic polymer precursor capable of producing continuous SiC fibers having excellent performance such as high-temperature resistance and oxidation resistance. The SiC fibers are manufactured through melt-spinning, stabilization, and heat treatment processes using the PCS manufactured by synthesis, purification, and control of the molecular structure. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of purification of unreacted substances and low molecular weight through solvent treatment of PCS and the effect of heat treatment at various temperatures change the polymerization and network rearrangement of PCS. Especially, we investigated the complex viscosity and structural arrangement of PCS precursors according to solvent treatment and heat treatment through the rheological properties


폴리카보실란은 탄화규소 섬유 방사와 세라믹 제조를 위해 필요한 중요한 전구체이며, 이 전구체는 제조 방법 및 공정에 따라 고내열성 및 내산화성 및 연속적인 탄화규소 섬유 생산 능력이 달라진다. 탄화규소 섬유는 폴리카보실란의 합성, 정제 및 분자구조제어기술, 그리고 이를 이용한 용융방사 및 안정화, 열처리 공정을 통해 제조된다. 본 논문에서는 폴리카보실란 전구체를 다양한 용매처리를 통하여 전구체 내에 존재하는 미반응물 및 저분자량의 정제효과를 파악하였으며, 또한 다양한 온도에서의 열처리에 따른 폴리카보실란 전구체의 중합 및 네트워크 재배열에 의한 변화에 대해 열적 분석을 실시하였다. 특히, 폴리카보실란 전구체의 유변물성 특성을 통해 용매처리 및 열처리에 따른 복합점도 및 구조적 배열의 변화를 분석하였다
