The preparation and the conversion in ceramics of the precursor cross‐linked copolysilazane (CPSZ) of formula (ViSiHNH) x (MeSiHNH) y have been summarized in Part I. Part II will examine the evolution and the thermal behavior of CPSZ at high temperatures under argon atmosphere. Gaseous phase, graphite or alumina crucible environments, and the activity of free carbon in ceramic residues have shown decisive effects on reaction products. The changes in crystallinity, powder morphology, XRD spectra, SEM observations, and oxidation behavior for samples annealed from 1200° to 1450°C are consistent with an amorphous‐to‐crystalline transformation. The influence of nitrogen atmosphere on the structural rearrangement will be shown in Part III.
