Abstract

Abstract A process for treating a polysilazane, characterized in that a polysilazane possessing on average at least two, and preferably at least three, hydrocarbon groups having aliphatic unsaturation per molecule is treated catalytically in the presence of a catalytically efficient amount of a co-ordination catalyst. The polysilazanes treated in this manner possess high thermal resistance and can be used, in particular, as precursors of ceramic products, with a high yield of inorganic product.
