In the realm of advanced materials, the exceptional performance of ceramics and the processability of polymers have long existed on opposite ends of the spectrum. Achieving cost-effective fabrication of complex-shaped ceramic components and overcoming the densification and interface challenges of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) remain the shared dream of material engineers. Today, we present the key to unlocking this dream: Organopolysilazane IOTA 9108 (Ceramizable Precursor Polymer). It is both a high-performance thermosetting resin and a molecular bridge connecting the convenience of liquid-state forming with the ultimate performance of ceramics, allowing you to redefine the boundaries of design and manufacturing from the source.

IOTA 9108 is a liquid precursor polymer composed of repeating Si-N units. As a resin, its exceptionally low viscosity and short curing time enable deep penetration of fiber preforms and filling of micron-scale gaps, while its diverse curing methods allow for efficient shaping. Its excellent adhesion to heterogeneous materials such as metals, ceramics, and graphite makes it an ideal matrix for Ceramic Matrix Composites, Metal Matrix Composites, and high-temperature adhesives.

Its true revolutionary nature lies in its designable ceramic rebirth. IOTA 9108 boasts a high ceramic yield, enabling low-shrinkage conversion from polymer to homogeneous, dense SiCN (silicon carbonitride) ceramic under relatively mild pyrolysis conditions. The resulting ceramic exhibits high-temperature resistance up to 1500°C, along with excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding the most demanding thermal-mechanical-chemical coupling environments.

Based on this platform, the application horizon of IOTA 9108 is remarkably broad:

• Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs): As a matrix precursor for aerospace engine hot-section components and thermal protection structures for hypersonic vehicles.

• High-Temperature Coating Systems: Formulating anti-corrosion coatings and oxidation-resistant ceramic coatings to provide long-term barriers for metals and alloys.

• Precision Forming: Serving as an impregnation agent for ceramic preforms to achieve near-net shaping of ceramic components with complex geometries.

• Hybrid Material Innovation: Enabling the development of organic-inorganic hybrid materials with tailor-made properties at the molecular level.

Choosing IOTA 9108 means you no longer have to compromise between processability and thermal resistance. It simplifies complex ceramic fabrication into a clear liquid-phase processing workflow, allowing you to design ceramics like polymers and manufacture extreme-performance components like composites. This is the deterministic pathway to next-generation high-temperature structural materials.
