In this paper, a type of nanoporous polyhedral oligomeric silisesquioxanes (POSS) containing eight functional groups have been synthesized and mixed with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) to form epoxy resin networks with nanostructures. The cured octa(aminophenyl) silsesquioxane (1c-POSS) and DGEBA system inherently possesses higher thermal stability and higher char yield than the control epoxy resins. Furthermore, the dielectric constant of the 1c-POSS/DGEBA material (4.36) is substantially lower than that of the neat epoxy resins (4.64) as a consequence the presence of nanoporous POSS cubes in the epoxy matrix.

1-Benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) was newly synthesized and characterized with FT-IR, 1H-NMR. We synthesized catalysts fulfill requirements for a rapid cure at a moderately elevated temperature in curing the epoxy resin for neat diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGBEA). The cure behavior of this resin was investigated at elevated temperature and cure temperature in the presence of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt% of 1-benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) by mean of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Chemical conversion as function of temperature and amount of BMH (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt%) were determined from DSC. It was found that BMH were superior latent thermal catalyst for catinonic curing which have a good thermal stability.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes epoxy resin (G-POSS) was prepared from 2,3-glycidyloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GTMS) by hydrolytic condensation. Thermal properties and electrical properties and UV-curing gel rate of G-POSS/epoxy resin (ER)/unsaturated polyester (UP) nanocomposites using diphenyliodide hexafluorophosphate (DPI·PF6) as initiator of curing reaction were investigated. The results showed that curing process of G-POSS/ER/UP is the double hybrid free radical/cationic polymerization. The gel rate of all the samples is more than 90%. G-POSS would decrease the electrical resistivity and increases the dielectric constant of the complex curing materials. Thermal stability is increased with the addition of G-POSS.

BT resins composed of 4,4’-bismaleimidodiphenylmethane (BMI) and 2,2’-bis-(4-cyanatophenyl)propane (BCE) were modified by octa(maleimidophenyl) silsesquioxane (OMPS). It was found that the curing reaction of BCE were accelerated by OMPS, and the onset temperature of the cyclotrimerization was reduced up to 95.5°C (by DSC). As demonstrated by DSC and FT-IR, there was no evidence indicated the co-reaction between maleimide and cyanate ester. 2,2’-diallyl bisphenol A (DBA) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (E-51) were also used to enhance the toughness of BT resins, and the formulated BTA and BTE resins were obtained. The results of DMA and TG show that the BT, BTA, and BTE resins containing 1wt% of OMPS exhibit enhanced thermal properties in comparison with pristine BT0, BTA0, and BTE0 resins, while more content of OMPS may impair the polymer matrix, though the effect of OMPS was slight. The dielectric constant of these hybrid materials were reduced by incorporation of OMPS, while overmuch contents of OMPS were disadvantageous for dielectric constant due to the aggregation of OMPS.

Abstract Epoxy resins are very versatile polymers generally known not only for their adhesive and mechanical strengths but also their inherent thermo-oxidative stability. These properties have been widely exploited in many applications ranging from composites used aerospace components to electronics packaging. However neat epoxy materials suffer from relatively poor strain bearing ability and attempts to improve this brittle behaviour have been an area of many research interests. Toughening of epoxy using elastomers is not new and this is reflected in numerous publications and some have been successfully commercialised. This paper presents a relatively new method of incorporating a rubber modifier into Diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A (DEGBA) epoxy resin via the formation of an isocyanurate-oxazolidone-urethane structure. The synthesis involves several simultaneous reactions involving the following reactions: (a) epoxide and the isocyanate to form the oxazolidone, (b) trimerisation of the isocyanate to form isocyanurate and (c) isocyanate with polyols to form polyurethane. The synthesis and characterisation of the modified DEGBA resin will be presented. In addition, the effects of rubber content on the thermomechanical behaviour of the cured resin will also be discussed. In summary, it was found that the introduction of the isocyanurate-oxazolidone-urethane chemical groups into the epoxy molecular chain not only enhances the fracture toughness of the final resin but also improves on the thermal stability. This rubber-modified epoxy system shows excellent promise for adhesive and structural applications where thermal stability and fracture toughness are pre-requisites.

The phosphorus/silicon-modified epoxy resin (ED231) was prepared via a two-step reaction process. Firstly, the 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO)-modified epoxy was synthesized by ring-opening reaction between DOPO and epoxy resin of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (E51). Afterward, the organic silicone intermediate (SY231) was grafted onto the DOPO-modified epoxy to obtain the ED231 product. The thermal stability and thermal–mechanical properties of ED231 systems were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, respectively. TGA results indicated that the phosphorus/silicon-modified epoxy resin (ED231) exhibited high char yields. For example, the solid residue for ED231-40 (5 phr DOPO and 40 phr SY231) at 800°C increased from 16.77% for the pure epoxy resin to 36.25% under nitrogen atmosphere and from 0% to 14.29% under air atmosphere, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy observations suggested that the ED231 systems could form an intact and continuous char layer which could significantly improve the thermal properties.

Epoxy resins have been presenting a lot of scientific and technical interests and organic modified epoxy resins have recently receiving a great deal of attention. For obtaining the composite materials with good mechanical proprieties, a large variety of organic modification agents were used. For this study gluten and gelatin had been used as modifying agents thinking that their dispersion inside the polymer could increase the polymer biocompatibility. Equal amounts of the proteins were milled together and the obtained compound was used to form 1 to 5% weight ratios organic agents modified epoxy materials. To highlight the effect of these proteins in epoxy matrix mechanical tests as three-point bending and compression were performed.

To study the effect of hyperbranched polyester with different kinds of terminal groups on the thermomechanical and dielectric properties of silica–epoxy resin composite, a molecular dynamics simulation method was utilized. Pure epoxy resin and four groups of silica–epoxy resin composites were established, where the silica surface was hydrogenated, grafted with silane coupling agents, and grafted with hyperbranched polyester with terminal carboxyl and terminal hydroxyl, respectively. Then the thermal conductivity, glass transition temperature, elastic modulus, dielectric constant, free volume fraction, mean square displacement, hydrogen bonds, and binding energy of the five models were calculated. The results showed that the hyperbranched polyester significantly improved the thermomechanical and dielectric properties of the silica–epoxy composites compared with other surface treatments, and the terminal groups had an obvious effect on the enhancement effect. Among them, epoxy composite modified by the hyperbranched polyester with terminal carboxy exhibited the best thermomechanical properties and lowest dielectric constant. Our analysis of the microstructure found that the two systems grafted with hyperbranched polyester had a smaller free volume fraction (FFV) and mean square displacement (MSD), and the larger number of hydrogen bonds and greater binding energy, indicating that weaker strength of molecular segments motion and stronger interfacial bonding between silica and epoxy resin matrix were the reasons for the enhancement of the thermomechanical and dielectric properties.

Thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetics of epoxy resins with 2-(Diphenylphosphinyl)-1, 4-benzenediol were investegated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different heating rates of 5 K/min, 10 K/min, 20 K/min and 40 K/min. The thermal degradation kinetic mechanism and models of the modified epoxy resins were determined by Coast Redfern method.The results showed that epoxy resins modified with the flame retardant had more thermal stability than pure epoxy resin. The solid-state decomposition mechanism of epoxy resin and the modified epoxy resin corresponded to the controlled decelerating ځ˽̈́˰̵̳͂͆ͅ˼˰̴̱̾˰̸̵̈́˰̵̸̳̱̹̽̾̓̽˰̶̳̹̾̈́̿̾̓ͅ˰̶˸ځ˹˰̵̵͇͂˰̃˸́˽ځ˹2/3.

Modified silicon-containing arylacetylene resins (DMSEPE-OMPS) were prepared from poly(dimethylsilyleneethynylenephenyleneethynylene) (DMSEPE) and Octa(maleimidophenyl)- silsesquioxane (OMPS). The curing reaction of DMSEPE-OMPS resin was studied by FT-IR and DSC techniques. Thermal stability and dielectric properties of cured DMSEPE-OMPS resins were determined. FT-IR and DSC analyses indicate that thermal polymerization of DMSEPE-OMPS resin occurs in the curing process. Thermal stabilities of cured DMSEPE-OMPS resins under N2 and air atmosphere decrease gradually with the increment of OMPS components. The incorporation of OMPS can obviously reduce dielectric constant of DMSEPE-OMPS resins.
