The epoxy resin was modified with the mixture of α,ω-dihydroxy poly-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) siloxane (PTFPMS), KH560 and stannous octoate. KH560 can react with PTFPMS and also epoxy resin curing agent. The two reactions were characterized by FI-IR. The modified epoxy resin was characterized by FI-IR. The result showed that fluorine-containing silicone had been successfully introduced into the epoxy system. The mechanical and thermal properties of the modified epoxy resin were analyzed. The results showed that with the increase of PTFPMS the impact strength of epoxy resin increased, hardness and bending strength correspondingly reduced, slight decrease in the glass transition temperature.

In the current work epoxy resin is chosen as matrix, treated Sacharum offinarum (SugarCane) fiber, Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar) filler is chosen as reinforcement. Room temperature cured Epoxy System filled with Sacharum offinarum fiber and Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar) filler is synthesised by mechanical shear mixer, then kept in a Ultra sonic Solicitor for better dispersion of Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar) filler in the matrix. Different weights of modified Pennisetum typhoides (Jowar) filler (1,2,3,4,5 gm wt) has been incorporated into the Epoxy matrix in order to study the variation of Mechanical and Thermal properties.

Polylactic acid (PLA) was melt-blended with epoxy resin to study the effects of the reaction on the mechanical and thermal properties of the PLA. The addition of 0.5% (wt/wt) epoxy to PLA increased the maximum tensile strength of PLA (57.5 MPa) to 67 MPa, whereas the 20% epoxy improved the elongation at break to 12%, due to crosslinking caused by the epoxy reaction. The morphology of the PLA/epoxy blends showed epoxy nanoparticle dispersion in the PLA matrix that presented a smooth fracture surface with a high epoxy content. The glass transition temperature of PLA decreased with an increasing epoxy content owing to the partial miscibility between PLA and the epoxy resin. The Vicat softening temperature of the PLA was 59 °C and increased to 64.6 °C for 0.5% epoxy. NMR confirmed the reaction between the -COOH groups of PLA and the epoxy groups of the epoxy resin. This reaction, and partial miscibility of the PLA/epoxy blend, improved the interfacial crosslinking, morphology, thermal properties, and mechanical properties of the blends.

An in-situ, catalyst-free method for synthesizing 3C-SiC ceramic nanowires (SiCNWs) inside carbon–carbon (C/C) composites was successfully achieved. Obtained samples in different stages were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman scattering spectroscopy. Results demonstrated that the combination of sol-gel impregnation and carbothermal reduction was an efficient method for in-situ SiCNW synthesis, inside C/C composites. Thermal properties and mechanical behaviors—including out-of-plane and in-plane compressive strengths, as well as interlaminar shear strength (ILLS) of SiCNW modified C/C composites—were investigated. By introducing SiCNWs, the initial oxidation temperature of C/C was increased remarkably. Meanwhile, out-of-plane and in-plane compressive strengths, as well as interlaminar shear strength (ILLS) of C/C composites were increased by 249.3%, 109.2%, and 190.0%, respectively. This significant improvement resulted from simultaneous reinforcement between the fiber/matrix (F/M) and matrix/matrix (M/M) interfaces, based on analysis of the fracture mechanism.
