Abstract
A method of preparing polycarbosilanes having high molecular weight and also having the major structural unit of silicon-carbon linkage. The method comprises heating a polysilane at 50.degree.-600.degree. C. in atmosphere of an inert gas and distilling out a low molecular weight polycarbosilane fraction having the number mean molecular weight of 300-600, followed by polymerizing the fraction by heating it at 250.degree.-500.degree. C. in atmosphere of an inert gas. The polycarbosilane obtained by the method of the present invention is useful for the precursor of preparing silicon carbide fibres and shaped articles.
