“…13,14 But the ceramic yield of the reported precursor prepared from (chloromethyl)trimethoxysilane (ClCH 2 Si(OMe) 3 ) is very low. 15,16 To increase the ceramic yield, olefinic side chain groups, vinyl, ethynyl or allyl, which could sufficiently promote crosslinking reactions at lower temperature and the ceramic yield, were introduced into the HBPCS backbone. 17,18 For example, by incorporation of allyl chloride or HC ≡ CMgBr into the starting materials, PCSs with approximate formulas [SiH 1.2 (CH 3 ) 0.71 (CH 2 CH = CH 2 ) 0.09 CH 2 ] n and [SiH 1.35 (CH 3 ) 0.37 (C ≡ CH) 0.28 CH 2 ] n respectively were synthesized.…”
