Abstract Low molecular weight copoly(methylsilylene/1,4-phenylene/methylvinylsilylene) (I) has been prepared by the reaction of a mixture of methyldichlorosilane and methylvinyldichlorosilane with the di-Grignard reagent prepared fromp-dibromobenzene.I has been characterized by1H,13C, and29Si NMR as well as FT-IR spectroscopy. Its molecular weight distribution has been determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), its thermal stability in nitrogen evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and its glass transition temperature (T g) measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Platinum-catalyzed hydrosilation cross-linking ofI yields a thermoset material. The bending modulus (logE′), tan·, andT g of these cross-linked materials have been measured by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Carbon fabric treated with catalytic amounts of platinum has been coated withI. Multilayers of coated carbon fabric have been consolidated (cured) to yield aromatic carbosilane/carbon composite materials. The interlaminar shear strength of these materials has been determined by short beam shear. Flexure strength and modulus of elasticity of these composite samples have been measured. The ultimate compressive strength and compression modulus as well as the tensile strength and elastic modulus of these have been determined.
