CG MATERIAL

Polycarbosilane Lump (PCS Lump)

Polycarbosilane Lump (PCS Lump)

Polycarbosilane Lump (PCS Lump) is a high-performance polymer material that is widely used in the production of advanced ceramics and carbon materials. It is a precursor material that can be converted into various forms of silicon carbide, carbon fibers, and other high-performance materials through a pyrolysis process.

PCS Lump is a dark brown solid material that is soluble in organic solvents such as toluene and chloroform. It is a thermosetting polymer with a three-dimensional network structure, which means it cannot be melted or re-molded once it has been cross-linked. PCS Lump has excellent thermal stability and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C without significant degradation.

PCS Lump is used in the production of advanced ceramics and carbon materials due to its ability to form high-purity silicon carbide and carbon fibers through a pyrolysis process. It is also used as a binder in the production of advanced ceramics, such as SiC ceramics and ceramic matrix composites.

In addition, PCS Lump is used in the production of high-performance carbon materials, such as carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes. It is an important precursor material for the production of carbon fibers, which are used in a wide range of industrial applications, including aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods.

Overall, Polycarbosilane Lump (PCS Lump) is a high-performance polymer material that is widely used in the production of advanced ceramics and carbon materials. Its unique properties make it an important precursor material for the production of high-performance materials that are used in a wide range of industrial applications.

Silicon Carbide Ceramics Applications

Until the invention of boron carbide in 1929, silicon carbide was the hardest synthetic material known. It has a Mohs hardness rating of 9, approaching that of a diamond. In addition, SiC crystal has fracture characteristics that make them extremely useful in grinding wheels and in abrasive paper and cloth products.

Its high thermal conductivity, together with its high-temperature strength, low thermal expansion, and resistance to chemical reaction and thermal shock, makes silicon carbide valuable in the manufacture of high-temperature bricks and other refractories.

SiC ceramic is also classed as a semiconductor, having an electrical conductivity between that of metals and insulating materials. This property, in combination with its thermal properties, makes SiC a promising substitute for traditional semiconductors such as silicon in high-temperature applications.
