A polymeric precursor route to non‐oxide ceramics that involves pyrolyzing an organic/inorganic hybrid polymer containing alternating metal alkoxide and diacetylene units is examined. The Figure is a transmission electron microscopy image showing the 20–50 nm TiC nanoparticles that result from processing the titanium polymeric precursor at 1400°C for 2 h in argon.
