A process is disclosed for preparing R.sub.3 SiNH-containing hydrosilazane polymer by contacting and reacting trichlorosilane with a disilazane (R.sub.3 Si).sub.2 NH where R is vinyl, hydrogen, phenyl, or alkyl radicals containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms. These hydrosilazane polymers are useful, when fired at high temperatures, in the formation of silicon nitride and silicon nitride-containing ceramic materials.
