Abstract
AbstractPolymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ), compounded with particles of Al2O3 (22–47 nm), micro size aluminum (30 µm) or nano size aluminum (50 nm) with a starting Al:Si molar ratio of 1.0, was prepared in a thick sheet form and pyrolyzed at various temperatures up to 1673 K to investigate the filler effect on the ceramization. By adjusting the concentrations of PMSQ, filler and cross‐linking agent in ethanol, self‐standing ceramic sheets were obtained after pyrolysis without fragmentation. The phases formed in each sheet during pyrolysis were identified by using X‐ray diffraction patterns. The resulting micro structures were characterized by the Archimedes method, SEM observation and electron micro probe analysis. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
