Abstract

Stable, viscous polymers of silicon, nitrogen and hydrogen are formed by reacting a halosilane with ammonia in the presence of a solvent comprising an aliphatic ether, a chloromethane or mixtures thereof. After the solvent has been removed from the reaction product, the polymer can be poured into a container of desired shape and then can be sintered to form a uniform silicon nitride product.
