The ceramization process of poly(Si-isocyanato-Si-methylpolysilazane)(MPZ-6) was investigated by means of the ceramic yield on pyrolysis, carbon content analysis, and solid-state cross-polarization/magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS NMR) spectra. On the pyrolysis of MPZ-6 under ammonia atmosphere, isocyanato and methyl groups were eliminated at about 400 °C to provide silicon nitride oxide at 700 °C. The 29Si, 13C, and 15N CP/MAS NMR spectra showed disappearance of the signals due to silylmethyl and silylisocyanato groups and appearance of the signals due to nitride oxide SiN4−nOn (n=0−4) unit structures, when the pyrolysis temperature was raised. In addition, the S/N ratio decreased in the 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra, due to the elimination of carbon on heating. MPZ-6 was amorphous after the pyrolysis at 1400 °C.
