New Polymer for High-Temperature Ceramics

This is cool stuff. There are no exotic ingredients. It has the consistency and viscosity of water making it easy to pour into molds. It has a long shelf life as a liquid. It can be mass-produced. It can be sprayed on. It can be used as the fluid in a 3-D printer. It can withstand 10 times more heat than that in a rocket nozzle. It can be tuned from a insulator to a semiconductor. It is lightweight. It can be fabricated to absorb light from infrared to ultraviolet frequencies. Just awesome.
