Abstract

Over the past few decades, considerable research efforts and progress have been made concerning processing strategies of advanced ceramics as well as their structural/functional applications. Moreover, there are emerging research activities related to developing synthetic pathways to advanced ceramics with tunable composition, controllable morphologies, or improved sinterability. The polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) route is a relatively young technology for ceramic manufacturing compared with conventional ceramic powder technology, which brings a significant technological breakthrough for the development of ceramic science and technology. As the PDC route allows the processing and manufacturing of advanced ceramics from the liquid/solid polymeric precursors, they are highly interesting, for example, for the fabrication of near-net shape ceramics, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), additive manufacturing of advanced ceramics, and so on. The main objective of the present chapter is related to the recent developments of PDCs, to their processing strategies for ceramic components, and to the potential applications of PDCs.
