    Syntactic foams based on hollow ceramic microspheres and the ceramic-forming binder polycarbosilane, capable of transition to silicon carbide at elevated temperatures, are considered. The processes of heat treatment of compositions and the transition of polycarbosilane to silicon carbide are considered. The physicomechanical and thermophysical characteristics of syntactic foams are studied.

    Abstract Silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) ceramic has been widely applied in various engineering fields. The emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies provides an innovative approach for the fabrication of complex‐shaped Si 3 N 4 ceramic components. This article systematically reviews the advances of the AM of Si 3 N 4 ceramic in recent years and forecasts the potential perspectives in this field. This review aims to motivate future research and development for the AM of Si 3 N 4 ceramic.
