New paper out in ACS Omega πΊπΈπ§ͺποΈβοΈ. In partnership with the our friends at AFRLπ©οΈ, we examine the local structure of polymer derived SiOC, an industrially relevant material that is poorly understood π. Here, we use a range of synchrotron techniques (at APS πΊπΈ, CLS π¨π¦, and Aussitron π¦πΊ) to show how this material isnβt simply a mix of carbon, oxides, and/or carbides, but demonstrates local Si-O and Si-C coordination in a disordered environment. Cool new insights π. Thanks to our colleagues at the synchrotron facilities, and @yuweii77vv @haihackbarth for their efforts.
