Abstract
Ceramic compositions can be formed by the pyrolysis of a particulate metal, which forms a component of the ceramic, and another metal, which forms another component of the ceramic.
Claims18
A process for forming a ceramic consisting essentially of the pyrolysis product of a particulate metallic material and an organometallic polymer, said process consisting essentially of
- (A) mixing a particulate metallic material and an organometallic polymer containing a metal different than that of the metallic material;
- and
- (B) pyrolyzing said mixture.
A process for forming a ceramic consisting essentially of the pyrolysis product of a particulate metallic material and a non-oxygen containing organometallic polymer, said process consisting essentially of
- (A) mixing a particulate metallic material and a non-oxygen containing organometallic polymer containing a metal different than that of the metallic material;
- and
- (B) pyrolyzing said mixture.
A process as claimed in cl aim 1 particulate metallic material is metallic hydride.
