Abstract
Boron nitride (BN) was prepared by polymer-derived method using precursor poly [(alkylamino) borazin (PABZ). The evolution of composition and structure of precursor PABZ into BN ceramic during curing and pyrolysis process was investigated by FTIR, TG, XRD techniques and chemical analysis. The results showed that PABZ could fulfill curing heated at 80°C for 2hrs in NH3 atmosphere. During the curing process the both transamination reaction and condensation reaction occurred, resulting in cross-link between monomer molecular. With the proceeding of curing process, the new B-N bonds were formed and continued to expand in three dimensions. After cured treatment the thermal pyrolysis of PABZ in ammonia atmosphere was took place, and inorganic degree and crystallinity of products were better, which was more suitable for preparation of high purity hexagonal BN (h-BN) ceramic.
