Abstract

Poly(borazinylamines) have been processed in THF and toluene solvents and aerogel forms produced by supercritical drying methods. The polymer aerogels have been pyrolyzed and porous amorphous and crystalline BN monoliths have been produced. These have been characterized and effects of processing factors on surface area and pore structure are described.
