• polymeric precursors for the synthesis of SiC ceramics (polymer derived ceramics) [31][32] has been found to be an easy approach. Herein, we report the synthesis of nanosized silicon(oxy)carbide spheres by the miniemulsion technique with the aid of a polycarbosilane precursor. The first studies using this
