Abstract

AbstractPolyaluminocarbosilane (PACS) as the precursor of high‐temperature resistant SiC fibers was synthesized by reacting polycarbosilane (PCS) with aluminum(III)acetylacetonate [Al(AcAc)3] at 310°C in N2 under ambient pressure. The reaction mechanism and the structure of PACS were investigated in detail by FTIR, GPC, GC/MS, ESCA, and elemental analysis. The reaction was proven complex involving the formation of SiOAl and SiAlSi bonds, which were accompanied by the evolution of 3‐methoxy‐2,2‐dimethyl‐oxirane, 2,3‐dihydro‐[1,4]dioxine, pent‐3‐en‐2‐one, and 3‐ethyl‐but‐3‐en‐2‐one, and acetylacetone. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
