A novel amorphous ceramic composites was fabricated from precursors mixed by polycarbonsilicon(PCS) and boron-modified polyvinylsilazane(PBS).The crystallization of the ceramic composites was studied after heat-treated at high temperature.Thermal analysis(TG-DTA),X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Transmission electron microscope(TEM) were utilized respectively to analyze the mechanism of pyrolysis,the effects of precursor compositions,pyrolysis temperature and time on crystallization and the microstructure of the sample.The experimental results indicate that the precursor compositions and the temperature have a major impact on the crystallization behavior.The SiC/SiBCN ceramic composites annealed 1100 ℃/2 h are prepared when PCS/PBS= 1(w/w) and pyrolysized.The SiC crystallites about 3 nm in size appear at 1400 ℃/4 h,which are pyrolysized from PCS.The microstructure of ceramic composites is SiC crystallites with ~10 nm in size embed in the amorphous SiBCN homogenously at 1500 ℃ /4 h.When the ceramic composites are heat-treated at 1700 ℃ for 2 h,the size of the SiC crystallites increases to ~16 nm.Moreover,the amorphous SiBCN starts to crystallize at 1800 ℃/2 h and the SiC crystallites grows to about 35 nm.
