Popis: Existing sol-gel polymerisation/pyrolysis routes employed to form simple silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) glass compositions have been adapted to form more complex, multi-component glasses based on borosilicon oxycarbide (BSiOC) and aluminosilicon oxycarbide (AlSiOC) systems. Each system has been characterised at the gel, glass and glass ceramic stage by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), 29Si, 27Al and 11B magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The boron component of the BSiOC glass system exhibited predominantly BO3 coordination. The Al component of the AlSiOC glass system exhibited combinations of tetrahedral, pentacoordinated and octahedral coordination over a range of pyrolysis temperatures. For both systems SiC bonds were formed and retained throughout the hydrolysis, polymerisation and inert atmosphere pyrolysis stages with evidence of β-SiC crystallisation at elevated temperatures (> 1300°C). Crystallisation of both spinel and mullite phases has also been observed at elevated temperatures (> 1300°C) in the AlSiOC glass system.
