Polyborazylene is an inorganic polymer made from self-condensation of the monomer borazine.
Borazine was originally discovered by Alfred Stock and Erich Pohland in 1926. In 1990, Fazen et al. were able to isolate a solid polyborazylene through the self-condensation of borazine under vacuum at 70° C for approximately 48 hours (Figure 144.1).
Polyborazylene is an excellent polymeric precursor to boron nitride. It is soluble and varies in the physical state from liquids to solids; as a result they appear suitable for various processing and shaping techniques. As an illustration, they were soluble in polar solvents, providing an interesting source for shaping in solution such as ...
