Abstract: Boron-containing ceramics are formed from organoboron precermaic polymers which are carboralated acetylenic poolymers. The polymers can be formed by carboralating acetylenic or diacetylenic diols and condensing the diols to form carboralated polyesters. In an alternative process, polydiacetylene formed by the polymerization of diacetylene monomers having conjugated triple bonds are carboralated subsequent to polymerization. A process for obtaining readily soluble polydiacetylenes comprises heating a diacetylene diol in a high boiling solvent.
