From the perspective of improving the thermodynamic properties of epoxy resin, it has become the focus of research to enhance the operational stability of GIS (Gas Insulated Substation) basin insulators for UHV (Ultra-High Voltage) equipment. In this paper, three aminosilane coupling agents with different chain lengths, (3-Aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (KH550), Aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (KH792) and 3-[2-(2-Aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl-trimethoxysilane (TAPS), were used to modify nano-SiO2 and doped into epoxy resin, respectively, using a combination of experimental and molecular dynamics simulations. The experimental results showed that the surface-grafted KH792 model of nano-SiO2 exhibited the most significant improvement in thermal properties compared with the undoped nanoparticle model. The storage modulus increased by 276 MPa and the Tg increased by 61 K. The simulation results also showed that the mechanical properties of the nano-SiO2 surface-grafted KH792 model were about 3 times higher than that of the undoped nanoparticle model, the Tg increased by 36.5 K, and the thermal conductivity increased by 24.5%.

Oxidative Ageing

T800/high-temperature epoxy resin composites with different hole shapes were subjected to hygrothermal ageing and thermal-oxidative ageing, and the effects of these different ageing methods on the open-hole properties of the composites were investigated, including analyses of the mass changes, surface topography changes (before and after ageing), fracture morphologies, open-hole compressive performance, dynamic mechanical properties and infrared spectrum. The results showed that only physical ageing occurred under hygrothermal ageing (70°C and 85% relative humidity), and the equilibrium moisture absorption rate was only approximately 0.72%. In contrast, under thermal-oxidative ageing at 190°C, both physical ageing and chemical ageing occurred. After ageing, the open-hole compressive strength of the composite laminates with different hole shapes decreased significantly, but the open-hole compressive strength after thermal-oxidative ageing was greater than that after hygrothermal ageing. Among the aged and unaged laminates, the laminates with round holes exhibited the largest open-hole compressive strength, followed by those with the elliptical holes, square holes and diamond holes. The failure modes of the laminates were all through-hole failures. The unaged samples had a glass transition temperature ( T g) of 226°C, whereas the T g of the samples after hygrothermal ageing was 208°C, which is 18°C less than that of the unaged samples, and the T g of the samples after thermal-oxidative ageing was 253°C, which is 27°C greater than that of the unaged samples.
