IOTA 9120 Polyborosilazane: The Dual-Function Ceramic Precursor

Hits: 702 img

Bridging the gap between polymers and ultra-high-temperature ceramics, IOTA 9120 liquid precursor delivers unmatched versatility—serving as both structural resin and 1600℃-stable SiBCN ceramic source. Its unique Si-N-B chemistry enables breakthroughs in aerospace, energy, and electronics.

Material Revolution

  1. Programmable Ceramization
    • Cures at 80-180℃ (air/inert or Pt-catalyzed)
    • 85% ceramic yield with tunable phases:
      • N₂/Ar: SiC+Si₃N₄ (hardness>20GPa)
      • NH₃: Pure Si₃N₄ (ΔT>1200℃ thermal shock)
      • Air: SiBOCN (superior oxidation resistance)
  2. Dual-Mode Performance
    • As resin:
      • <500cP viscosity for complex shaping
      • 250℃ HDT, k=3.5 @1MHz
    • As precursor:
      • 90% strength retention @1600℃
      • 25W/m·K thermal conductivity
  3. Extreme Environment Reliability
    • 15MPa adhesion to metals/ceramics
    • Survives 1000x thermal cycles (-40℃~800℃)

Industry Transformations

  • Spacecraft: CMCs for re-entry vehicles (40% lighter)
  • Nuclear: Corrosion-resistant coatings for molten metal systems
  • 5G Electronics: Low-loss substrates (<0.003 @10GHz)
  • Turbines: Oxidation barriers enabling 1500℃ operation
