Popis: This paper describes the structural and textural characteristics of silicon oxycarbide ceramics obtained from three different hybrid polymers by varying pyrolysis temperature. The first polymer was prepared by hydrosilylation between poly(hydromethylsiloxane) and divinylbenzene in stoichiometric proportions; the second was similarly obtained, but with excess of divinylbenzene (60 wt.%) and the third was also synthesized with 60 wt.% divinylbenzene, involving simultaneously hydrosilylation and radical reactions. Precursors were pyrolysed under argon at 1000, 1200 and 1500°C to produce silicon oxycarbide-based ceramics. Silicon carbide phase development and devitrification resistance were influenced by the disordered and ordered residual carbon fraction, which was directly related to the polymer structure. High specific surface area and pore volume values were obtained in C-richer ceramics at 1500°C derived from poly(divinylbenzene) network-containing precursor. Silicon oxycarbide matrices, derived from hybrid polymers containing graphitic carbon and silicon carbide phases together with different amount of porosity, revealed desirable features for electrochemical applications and adsorbent systems.
