Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) have been intensively studied for nearly 50 years due to
their unique advantages to producing ceramic fibers, coatings, foams, nanocomposites and …

Silicon oxycarbides can be considered as being carbon‐containing silicates consisting of
glass networks in which oxygen and carbon share bonds with silicon. The carbon‐for …

Composites consist by definition of at least two materials (Gibbsian phases) with rather
different properties. They exhibit a heterogeneous microstructure and possess improved …

The present Review addresses current developments related to polymer-derived ceramic
nanocomposites (PDC-NCs). Different classes of preceramic polymers are briefly introduced …

The polymer‐based synthesis of ceramics such as SiCO (and SiCN) leads to the
incorporation of significant amounts of carbon into their molecular structure. A key feature of …

Polymer derived silicon oxycarbide ceramics (SiOC-PDCs) with widely different carbon
contents have been synthesized, and their structures have been studied at different length …

Silicon oxycarbide (SiOC)-based materials are a class of polymer-derived ceramics that
enables the formation of a homogeneous structure at the molecular level starting from …

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) are fabricated through the controlled pyrolysis of silicon-
based polymeric precursors. Their structure, and subsequent material responses, are highly …

Amorphous silicon–oxycarbide (SiCO) can retain large mole fractions of carbon when it is
made from controlled pyrolysis of silicon‐based polymers. The crystallization resistance of …

In this work we investigate the electrochemical behaviour of two silicon oxycarbide (SiOC)
glasses synthesized from the same starting precursor. In one case we perform pyrolysis in …
