StarPCSTM SMP-877

Polycarbosilane Precursor
POLYMER-TO-CERAMIC™ TECHNOLOGY

Technical Data Sheet


StarPCSTM SMP-877 is a liquid polycarbosilane precursor to thermally stable silicon carbide. Like the other polymers of the
StarPCSTM family, SMP-877 facilitates the manufacture of ceramic matrix composites, monolithic ceramics, and high temperature
silicon carbide coatings. SMP-877 can be cured at relatively low temperatures to enable machining in the green state.
SMP-877, when heated to pyrolysis temperatures, produces high purity ceramics of nearly Stoichiometric SiC but remains slightly
carbon rich as a ceramic. As a high temperature ceramic, SMP-877 operates to become a high temperature, oxidation resistant,
amorphous silicon carbide material.

Product Highlights
• Curable at temperatures between 150°C up to 300°C. • Solvent free polymer improves handelability
• Pyrolysis to form dense, amorphous ceramic1. • Can be used for infiltration polymer to yield strong, tough
• Slightly carbon rich ceramic matrix can be used as a carbon ceramic composites
source for subsequent processing

1 1,000°C pyrolysis produces 58-62 wt% ceramic yield.
