A commercially available methylphenylvinylhydrogen polysiloxane preceramic polymer was cross-linked and pyrolyzed in argon in order to study if this compound could be used as an organic precursor for the manufacture of silicon carbide parts by photopolymerisation-based three-dimensional printing. X-Ray diffraction experiments and transmission electron microscopy observations showed that the pyrolyzed material was constituted by an interconnected polycrystalline network made of faulted/twinned beta -SiC grains surrounded by an amorphous and porous second phase mainly constituted (at least 80 at%) of carbon. The free carbon residual content was estimated to be around 17.2 wt%. Additional efforts are then required to be able to use such a preceramic polymer to manufacture SiC parts by photopolymerisation-based three-dimensional printing.
