The development of processing ceramics from polymer precursors has attracted great attention. In particular, inorganic polymers containing silicon are important for SiC-based ceramic synthesis. SiC ceramics have the advantage of hightemperature stability in an oxidation atmosphere. SiC is not readily sintered, and thus is difficult to obtain in either fiber or film form by traditional inorganic processes.
