Confronted with extreme temperatures and complex service conditions, single-phase ceramic materials often fall short. Are you searching for a material that combines the easy processability of a resin with the ultimate properties of a ceramic, and even allows for on-demand design of its composition and structure? Polyborosilazane IOTA 9120 is the ideal answer. It is an unprecedented “intelligent” ceramifiable precursor polymer, serving not only as a bridge between the organic world and inorganic high-performance SiBCN ceramics but also as a programmable “tuning platform” for ceramic composition.
The core value of IOTA 9120 lies in its exceptional processing flexibility and the designability of the final ceramic properties. As a liquid polymer, its low viscosity ensures superior process adaptability. It offers multiple and mild curing pathways: thermal curing at 120-180°C, or platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation curing at 80-100°C, making it perfectly compatible with heat-sensitive substrates or complex shapes (e.g., fiber preforms). The cured product exhibits excellent adhesion to metals, ceramics, graphite, and more.
The true revolution begins with pyrolysis. IOTA 9120 can transform into high-performance SiBCN ceramic under relatively mild conditions with a high ceramic yield. Its unparalleled “intelligence” lies in the fact that the final ceramic composition can be precisely tailored by the pyrolysis atmosphere—obtaining a composite of SiC and Si₃N₄ in nitrogen/argon; converting primarily to Si₃N₄ in ammonia; or forming unique SiBOCN ceramic in air. This provides unprecedented material customization capability for diverse application needs, be it oxidation resistance, high hardness, or specific dielectric properties. Combined with fillers, further fine-tuning of performance and structure is achievable.
From ultra-high-temperature components in aerospace and semiconductor heating fixtures to next-generation brake pads and high-performance corrosion-resistant coatings, IOTA 9120 is the key to realizing lightweight, extreme-environment-resistant composites and ceramic parts. It transforms complex ceramic manufacturing from the traditional “powder metallurgy” model to a new era of designable, near-net-shape “polymer precursor” technology.
Choosing IOTA 9120 means adopting a forward-looking materials strategy and manufacturing freedom. It tightly connects application imagination with materials science. Please note: to achieve its optimal performance, use dry solvents and strictly avoid contact with water, alcohols, and protic substances. Explore IOTA 9120 today and unlock the customized future of high-performance ceramics.
