Polymer-derived ceramic

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009192",
  "term": "Polymer-derived ceramic",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A ceramic material produced by the pyrolysis of a preceramic polymer precursor. The polymer is cross-linked and then heated to high temperatures in an inert atmosphere, converting it into an inorganic ceramic with a specific microstructure. These ceramics often exhibit high thermal stability and mechanical strength.",
