The heat-resistance of PLA is so poor that its application area was limited. It can be widely applied after improvement. In the process of making cotton stalk bast fibers reinforced PLA composites, adding TAIC a type of cross-linking agent in the experiment produces a kind of composites with good heat-resistance. Orthogonal experiment table including length and mass fraction of fibers, molding temperature and addition of TAIC was devised. Then the study focused on the heat-resistance of the composites and the analysis of range and variance were done. The optimal processing condition was obtained: length of fibers was 10mm, mass fraction of fibers was 30%, molding temperature was 175°C and addition of TAIC was 1%. In addition, fibers reinforced PLA composites without TAIC had better heat-resistance than the pure PLA material, the HDT raised 54°C, and the composites added TAIC obtained the best heat-resistance of all. This composite can be extensively used in many fields.

As PLA composites are easy to kindle, making flame-retardant composites is particularly important. PLA can be widely used after improvement. In the process of making cotton stalk bast fibers reinforced PLA composites, adding APP/PER a type of flame-retardants in the experiment produces a kind of composites with good flame-retardant property. Orthogonal experiment table including length and mass fraction of fibers, molding temperature and addition of flame-retardants was devised. Then the study focused on the flame-retardant property of the composites and the analysis of range and variance were done. The optimal processing condition was obtained: length of fibers was 8mm, mass fraction of fibers was 30%, molding temperature was 175°C and addition of flame-retardants was 10%. Fibers reinforced PLA composites with APP/PER got better flame-retardant property than the composites without APP/PER, with the LOI rising 6.61. This kind of composite can be extensively applied in many fields.

The cotton stalk bast fibers are a new kind of natural cellulose fibers, which have the similar properties as the flax fibers. Polypropylene (PP) is a type of matrix material and commonly used in composites. The cotton stalk bast fibers as reinforced materials and PP as matrix were used to make a new kind of composite in the experiment. The composites were prepared by mixing, molding and cold forming. Orthogonal experiment table including mass fraction of fibers, molding temperature, molding pressure and molding time was devised. Then the flexural strength, tensile strength and impact strength were tested and the analysis of range was done. The optimal processing condition was obtained as follows: mass fraction of fibers was 30%, molding temperature was 190°C, molding pressure was 12MPa and molding time was 480s. The result showed that the cotton stalk bast fibers reinforced PP composites had good mechanical properties.

The effect of boronizing treatment on the conductivity of a high-conductivity and heat-resistant Al-Zr alloy conductor material was studied. The results showed that the conductivity of industrial pure Al containing transition element (Ti, V, Cr, Mn)>0.01 wt % (mass fraction, the same below) was improved to a certain extent by using boronizing treatment to remove transition metal elements through the formation of borides. Using the boronizing treatment, B can react with transition elements to form blocky (Ti, V, Fe)B2 and flocculent (Ti, V, Fe, Zr)B2. The boronizing treatment makes Ti and V out of the solid solution state, form borides and finally deposit to the bottom of the furnace, thus significantly improving the conductivity of the ingot. In addition, Cr and Mn were not found in the borides at the bottom of the furnace. However, for the high-conductivity and heat-resisting Al-Zr alloy conductor material, B will have poison effects on Zr during boronizing treatment, thus reducing the heat-resistance of the alloy. Therefore, in the preparation process of high-conductivity and heat-resistant Al-Zr alloy conductor material, the converter process should be added after boronizing treatment to ensure that the Al-Zr alloy conductor material has good heat-resistance and conductivity at the same time.

Silicone resins are widely applied as coating materials due to their unique properties, especially those related to very good heat resistance. The most important effect on the long-term heat resistance of the coating is connected with the type of resin. Moreover, this structure is stabilized by a chemical reaction between the hydroxyl groups from the organoclay and the silicone resin. The novel trends in application of silicone resins in intumescent paints used mostly for protection of steel structures against fire will be presented based on literature review. Some examples of innovative applications for fire protection of other materials will be also presented. The effect of silicone resin structure and the type of filler used in these paints on the properties of the char formed during the thermal decomposition of the intumescent paint will be discussed in detail. The most frequently used additives are expanded graphite and organoclay. It has been demonstrated that silicate platelets are intercalated in the silicone matrix, significantly increasing its mechanical strength and resulting in high protection against fire.

Started from Tung oil, a renewable biomass material of china, a new kind of bismaleimide, Tung oil-based bi-dihydrogen-maleimide (TOBBDHMI) was synthesized by the reaction of methyl-α-eleostearate-maleic anhydride adduct (MEMAA) and 4,4'-diphenylmethane disocyanate (MDI). The optimal conditions for synthesis were catalyst triethylamine dosage 1.0%, mole ratio of MEMAA to MDI 2.4:1, reaction temperature 75°C and reaction time 2 h, which gave yield 82.4% for TOBBDHMI (calculated from MDI). The melting point of the product was 186.6 °C~189.3 °C, initial decomposition temperature was 270 °C and final decomposition temperature was 510 °C, which showed the product has good heat resistance. The target product is potential to be used alone or with other bismaleimide monomers to improve polymeric materials’ heat resistance and/or mechanical properties.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine filler effects on heat stability of vulcanized elastomeric compositions. Carbon-black reinforced compounds, designed to have good heat resistance, were modified by substituting hydrated silica for all or part of the black. Since a simple replacement of silica for black would result in dissimilar original properties, the substituted compounds were further revised to minimize this dissimilarity. This was accomplished through curative correction and/or addition of an organosilane coupling agent. Silica substitution did not provide permanency of properties at elevated temperatures, but in all cases the serviceable life of the compound was extended. Since silica substitution had minimum effect on other properties and reduced the rate of degradation at elevated temperature, this may be considered a reasonable alternative to completely redesigning a proven rubber compound in order to improve its heat resistance.

Arylenedioxy-organosilanylene polymers with adamantane units in the backbone were prepared by Rh-catalyzed dehydrocoupling of bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)adamantanes with organohydrosilanes, and their heat resistance was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis in nitrogen. Among these polymers, the highest Td10 (10% weight loss temperature) of 547 °C was achieved for polymer 2a prepared from 1,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)adamantane and phenylsilane. Polymer 2a exhibited good heat resistance even in air with Td10 = 387 °C, and standing of the polymer at 150 °C for 8 h resulted in no evident weight loss
