Ceramic composition and a process for producing the same

A process for producing a rod-form silica from a silicic acid ester according to a sol-gel process, which silica has a rod-form having a high aspect ratio and is advantageously used as a filler for resin sealants for semiconductors, is provided, which process comprises adding 35 to 150 parts by weight of a sol of a silicic acid ester to 100 parts by weight of a hydrophobic medium to form an emulsion, subjecting the emulsion to a temperature rise at two stages, the first temperature rise being by 5.degree. to 30.degree. C. at a rate of 10.degree. to 200.degree. C./min. or less and the second temperature rise being by 3.degree. to 20.degree. C. at a rate of 0.5.degree. to 10.degree. C./min., to form a rod-form silica.

Process for producing a rod-form silica

There is provided a new polysilazane product from a specific precursor. Desired molecular weight of the polysilazane can be obtained by selecting the proper molar ratio of R.sub.1 SiHX.sub.2 and R.sub.2 R.sub.3 SiX.sub.2 as raw materials. The polysilazane is stable during storage without gelation. The polymerization of the precursor can be carried out without gelation even at a high temperature and hence can be completed in a short time. The polysilazane can be made into ceramic fibers by spinning from a solution and subsequent firing.

Polysilazane and method for synthesis thereof

There is provided a new polysilazane product from a specific precursor. Desired molecular weight of the polysilazane can be obtained by selecting proper amount of a silazane or silylamine compound ##STR1## as an additive. The polysilazane is stable during storage without gelation. The polymerization of the precursor can be carried out without gelation even at a high temperature and hence can be completed in a short time. The polysilazane can be made into ceramics fiber by spinning from a solution and subsequent firing.

New polysilazane and process for production of the same

A process for producing silicon carbide in the form of uniform fine particles and having a high purity with a good efficiency is provided, which process comprises subjecting an organosilicon compound expressed by the formula;
