Chemical design of onion-like carbon-silicon diimide polymer composites

Abstract Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel class polymer composites based on onion-like carbons (OLCs)-silicon diimide by salt-free polycondensation reaction. The pyridine-catalyzed polymerization reaction was carried out in presence various contents (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 wt%) carboxyl-functionalized OLCs argon atmosphere to provide with well-dispersed covalently incorporated 0D nanocarbons throughout 3D matrix silicon polymer. A strong dependency optical properties (UV absorbance photoluminescence spectra) content functionalized within observed. are suitable precursors for design advanced multifunctional 0D-nanocarbon–containing Si 3 N 4 -based ceramic nanocomposites.
