Lignin/epoxy resin composites were prepared by blending lignin with epoxy resin cured by polyamide. The effect of the content of lignin and polyamide on the mechanical properties of the lignin/epoxy resin composites was studied systemically. And the structure for the blend of lignin and epoxy resin without the curing agent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results of mechanical properties test showed that the bending strength of the composites decreases gradually with increasing the content of lignin, while the impact strength increased firstly and then decreased. The bending strength of lignin/epoxy resin composites showed a trend of increasing firstly and then decreasing with the increase of the content of polyamide, while the impact strength exhibited an opposite trend. The density for the composites increased with the addition of lignin, and polyamide exhibited an inconspicuous effect on density of the composites. The FTIR analysis results showed that the epoxy resin could be cured by lignin without polyamide, which concluded that the lignin could catalyze the cross-linking of epoxy resin or react with epoxy resin, and this bonding effect would beneficial to the properties of lignin/epoxy resin composites.

The graphene oxide (GO) was obtained by pressurized oxidation method using natural graphite as raw materials. Then the GO/epoxy resin composites were prepared by casting. The mechanical and damping properties of composites were studied. As a result, the impact intensity of GO/epoxy resin composites was prominently improved with the content of the graphene oxide increasing. The glass transition temperature decreased and the damping capacity is improved.

One new kind of epoxy resin toughening agent defined as liquid crystalline polyurethane elastomers (LCPUE) containing mesogenic ester groups and trithylene glycol flexible chain was synthesized and its nematic structure was observed by POM and XRD. The LCPUE was to modify the epoxy resin (E-51). The mechanical properties, fracture surface morphology, and thermal properties of the E-51/LCPUE curing system were systematically investigated. Experimental results revealed that the impact strength of the epoxy resin modified with LCPU is 1.9 times higher than that of the unmodified system, enhanced the thermal decomposition temperature by about 12 °C, and the fracture surfaces all modified systems display tough fracture feature.

In this paper, composites with different contents of epoxy resin/nano-SiO2were fabricated, the influence of compounding process on nano-SiO2dispersion was studied, the microstructure and the relationship between impact strength and nano-SiO2content were investigated. The results showed that the distribution of nano-SiO2particles in the composites could be improved efficiently using high-speed shearing dispersion method. To composites with or without the coupling agent treatment, the impact strength grew with increasing nano-SiO2content, and increase to a maximum value when nano-SiO2content was 3wt.%. The maximum value was 75.4%, and 45.5% higher than that of monolithic epoxy resin respectively. With the nano-SiO2 content increased continually, the impact strength of composite materials decreased. The coupling agent treatment of nano-SiO2administered to improve the impact strength of the composites.

Polyamic acid (PAA) containing aromatic ester was synthesized and used to modify the epoxy resin (E-51)/PAA curing system. The mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, fracture surface morphology, and thermal properties of the E-51/PAA curing systems were systematically investigated. Experimental results revealed that the impact strength of the cured systems modified with PAA are 3 to 4 times higher than that of the unmodified system, and enhanced the thermal decomposition temperature by about 15°C, while the storage modulus is also higher than that of the unmodified system, and the fracture surfaces of modified systems display tough fracture feature.
