Abstract

Polymer derived silicon oxycarbide ceramics (SiOC-PDCs) with widely different carbon contents have been synthesized, and their structures have been studied at different length scales using high-resolution ¹³C and ²⁹Si magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopic techniques. The data suggest that the structure of these PDCs consists of a continuous mass fractal backbone of corner-shared SiC_xO_4-x tetrahedral units with "voids" occupied by sp²-hybridized graphitic carbon. The oxygen-rich SiC_xO_4-x units are located at the interior of this backbone with a mass fractal dimension of ~2.5 while the carbonrich units display a slightly lower dimensionality and occupy the interface between the backbone and the free carbon nanodomains.
