Silicon oxycarbide glasses (SiOC-E1, E2, and E3) were obtained as black solids by hydrolysis/condensation polymerization (sol-gel process) of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTES-E1), -ethylene (BTES-E2), and -acetylene (BTES-E3), respectively, followed by pyrolysis of the resulting polysilsesquioxane gels (Gel-E1, E2, and E3) in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1000 degrees C.The pyrolytic reaction progresses were monitored by TGA. IR, and C-13 and Si-29 NMR spectroscopic analysis. Ceramic yields from the gels increased with the increase of the unsaturation degrees of the bridges, i.e. 87%, 90%, and 95% for gels Gel-E1. E2, and E3, respectively. Elemental compositions of the resulting glasses SiOC-E1, E2, and E3 were determined to be SiC0.70O1.60, SiC0.81O1.68, and SiC0.85O1.81, respectively by EPMA, indicating that the higher unsaturation of the organic bridge led to the higher carbon content (c) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
