Preparation and characterization of benzoxazine based nanocomposites: comprehensive study in curing kinetics and enhanced thermal stabilities
journal contribution
posted on 2015-06-17, 14:52 authored by Yue Lin, Corinne A. Stone, Steve J. Shaw, Mo SongSeveral bisphenol-A benzoxazine (BEN) based nanocomposites incorporated with several polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and clays, were prepared successfully. The influences of the nanofillers on curing kinetics, network formation, and thermal stability of the BEN were investigated comprehensively. The addition of the nanofillers showed different influence on curing kinetics of BEN. Furthermore, the incorporation of the nanofillers showed good improvement on thermal stability of BEN. An increase of 70 and 336°C at the onset and the half-life decomposition temperature were observed with the addition of 5 wt % 30B clay in nitrogen atmosphere. With the incorporation of 5 wt % POSS, the half-life of decomposition and char yield enhanced by 280°C and 13 wt % in nitrogen atmosphere. For the 4 wt % MWCNT-COOH/BEN nanocomposite, the half-life of decomposition and char yield at 800°C increased by 286°C and 14 wt % in nitrogen atmosphere, respectively.
