Abstract

The subject-matter of the present invention is to solve the technical problem resulting from the instability in air of polysilanes. For this purpose, it proposes a polysilane-based composition, used particularly for producing silicon carbide, comprising: PA1 polysilane chains capable of being degraded by oxidation and the formation of polysiloxane-type products and/or polysilane chains suitable for being bound together directly by a reaction between Si--H and Si--X radicals, and/or indirectly through the intermediary of a crosslinking additive and by a reaction between A--X and A--H radicals, X being an olefin radical, preferably comprising 1 to 18 carbon atoms and, more preferably still, being constituted by a vinyl radical (Vi:--CH.dbd.CH.sub.2), A being an organic, organosilicic or silicic radical; PA1 and at least one antioxidant system.
