Metallocene of zirconium were used as a catalyst for an insertion polymerization of 1-methylsilene directly into pre-ceramic precursor polyzirconocenecarbosilane (PZCS) during dechlorination of dichlorodimethylesilane by sodium, which exhibits high catalytic effectiveness with the maximum conversion ratio of polycarbosilane up to 91%. The average molecular weights of polymers synthesized are less than 1400, all with very narrow polymolecularities. The mechanism of catalytic polymerization was assumed to be similar to a coordination insertion polymerization of 1-olefins by metallocenes. The obtained PZCS show high ceramic yields with formation of composite ceramics of ZrC-SiC, which are novel polymeric precursors of ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) fiber and composite.
锆茂用作催化剂,在二氯二甲基硅烷与钠脱氯过程中,使1-甲基硅烯直接插入到陶瓷前驱体聚锆茂碳硅烷(PZCS)中进行插入聚合反应,该催化剂具有很高的催化效率,聚碳硅烷的最大转化率高达91%。合成聚合物的平均分子量小于1400,且多分散性都很窄。催化聚合反应的机理被认为类似于锆茂对1-烯烃的配位插入聚合反应。所得到的PZCS具有很高的陶瓷产率,形成了ZrC-SiC复合陶瓷,它们是超高温陶瓷(UHTC)纤维和复合材料的新型聚合物前驱体。
