Abstract

A copolymer prepared using methylcyclosiloxanes and methylcyclosilazanes has been pyrolysed in N2 and a NH3/N2 mixture. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in both atmospheres and thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared (TG-FTIR) studies in N2 are discussed. The latter results have been used to suggest a mechanism for the thermal decomposition of the copolymer.
