Thermal Reactor Synthesis of Nanoscale Ceramic Powders using Organosilazane Aerosols
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
This investigation involves the thermal conversion of an organosilazane precursors into ultrafine ceramic particles. In this process, aerosols of a reactive organosilazane precursor, [CH3SiHNH]n n = 3 or 4, are injected into a hot furnace to obtain Si3N4/SiC ceramic powders. One critical feature examined in this process was the rapidity of the powder synthesis, in a reaction which involves (i) elimination of ligand groups, (ii) formation of ceramic species, and (iii) condensation of ceramic species into ultrafine ceramic particles. Accompanying studies a model has been formulated to determine the gas cooling rate and particle size.
