ABSTRACTThe pyrolytic conversion of a polyvinylsilazane precursor to Si-C-N ceramics is studied using solid-state NMR. 13C and 29Si magic angle spinning and 1H static NMR experiments allow us to investigate the structure of the disordered multiphased intermediates formed during the pyrolysis. The Si environments are quantitatively analyzed by 29Si MAS NMR spectra simulations. The relative abundance of SiHCN2, SiC2N2, SiN3C and SiN4 sites at different temperatures are used to calculate elemental compositions that characterize the Si-containing phase. The comparison of these compositions with those obtained from chemical analyses shows evidence of the presence of a free carbon phase.We have also determined the H and C contents in the free carbon phase.

Abstract The curing of brominated poly(isobutylene-co-4-methylstyrene) was studied using solid-state magic-angle-spinning NMR, a technique which is uniquely suited to investigate cured or crosslinked polymers. This brominated copolymer contains 4-bromomethylstyryl and 4-methylstyryl functional groups and was compression cured with pure ZnO. It was proposed that a precomplex is formed between zinc and the 4-bromomethylstyryl group, which generates a benzylic carbocationic intermediate. Crosslinking predominantly occurs by alkylation of the phenyl ring of another 4-bromomethylstyryl group by the benzylic intermediate. The ZnO brings the two bromides of these groups into proximity. The dependence of the cure chemistry on the concentration of 4-bromomethylstyryl functional groups was studied. Conversion of some 4-bromomethylstyryl groups to oxygenated species upon curing was also observed.
