Hey, friends! Today we are going to introduce a super powerful material - poly (methylsilane), which we commonly refer to as PMS.
You know what? PMS looks like that kind of yellow translucent liquid, like a magical "magic potion". It's unremarkable when placed there, but its abilities are enormous! As long as you give it some high temperature, it can undergo magical changes and transform into something called β - silicon carbide. This beta silicon carbide is amazing, it is an important component of many powerful materials.
Where is PMS used? There are too many uses! For example, it can be used to manufacture various composite ceramic precursors, just like the "cornerstone" of building high-rise buildings. With it, high-performance silicon carbide ceramic materials can be made. Also, in some composite materials, such as Cf/SiC composite materials and SiCf/SiC composite materials, PMS is like a "behind the scenes hero", silently playing a role in making these materials strong and durable, and able to work well in many complex environments. Moreover, coating something with a silicon carbide ceramic coating made of PMS is equivalent to putting a layer of "armor" on it to protect it from harm.
The products made by PMS also have their own unique skills! Let's talk about high temperature resistance first. Imagine being in a particularly hot place where ordinary materials can no longer withstand deformation or damage, but PMS made materials can stay there steadily without any problems, like a fearless "warrior". Anti erosion is also its specialty. If it encounters flames or high-temperature airflow impact, it will not be easily burned off and is very tenacious. It also has the ability to resist oxidation and corrosion. Whether placed in environments prone to rusting or in places with various chemicals, it can maintain its "health" and will not be corroded. The most noteworthy feature is its low density. If you want to make things that require high weight, such as components on airplanes and rockets, using PMS would be perfect. It can make these things lightweight and easy to use.
In fact, the structure inside PMS is also very interesting. It has a Si Si linear structure and a main structural unit called - CH ∝ SiH -. The Si-H bonds in it are very important. It is through them that SiC fibers with a near stoichiometric ratio can be generated during pyrolysis. This is like a "key" to open the door to success for manufacturing SiC fibers and functional materials.
On the global stage, there are not many manufacturers producing PMS, but our country is very powerful. Not only do we produce a lot, but we also use it a lot. Just like there is a Bowang Carbon Ceramic Co., Ltd. in Hunan, which also has a subsidiary called Hunan Qianfeng New Materials Co., Ltd. They have built the first 100t/a PMS production line in China and have already put it into operation, which injects strong impetus into the development of our country's PMS industry. In the future, we can see more powerful things made with PMS.
So don't underestimate this poly (methylsilane) (PMS), it is a shining star in the world of materials, quietly changing our lives and making many high-tech products even more powerful!
