Silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) is a promising protective coating material. However, so far there has not been any comprehensive review to systematically evaluate the characteristics and properties of this material as coatings. In this review, SiOC compositions and fillers are examined based on their fundamental functions in the coating materials. From a processing point of view, different coating formation processes, such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition, dip coating, and spin coating, are discussed. As an intrinsic requirement and one of the most challenging aspects for SiOC to be used as coating materials, the stability of SiOC in air conditions is analysed and the degradation mechanisms of SiOC are discussed. Lastly, for different application needs, the physical and mechanical behaviours, electrical conductivity, and optical property of the coatings are presented. This first-ever systematic review on the SiOC system as coating materials is intended to provide guidance for future SiOC coating development.

聚合物衍生的碳氧化硅基涂料

碳氧化硅（SiOC）是一种有前途的保护涂层材料。但是，到目前为止，还没有任何全面的综述来系统地评估这种材料作为涂料的特性和性能。在这篇综述中，根据SiOC组合物和填料在涂料中的基本功能对其进行了研究。从工艺的角度，讨论了不同的涂层形成工艺，例如等离子体增强化学气相沉积，浸涂和旋涂。作为SiOC用作涂层材料的内在要求和最具挑战性的方面之一，分析了SiOC在空气条件下的稳定性，并探讨了SiOC的降解机理。最后，针对不同的应用需求，物理和机械性能，电导率，并给出了涂层的光学性能。首次对作为涂层材料的SiOC体系进行系统的审查，旨在为将来的SiOC涂层开发提供指导。
