Abstract
Ultra heat-resistant phthalonitrile resin has faced serious challenges of the trade-off between temperature resistance and toughness and seriously affects its application in the field of temperature resistant structural composites. In this work, a kind of oligo (aryl ethers) containing phenyl-s-triazine and pendent amino group (AFT-Ph/PAFT-Ph) were first selected as modifier co-cured with phthalonitrile prepolymers containing a carborane (CEPN) to achieve synergistic improvement in toughness and heat resistance performance. The flexural and impact strengths of optimized composites reach 278.6 MPa and 58.4 kJ/m2, which are increased by 92.7 % and 1091.8 % compared to the blank contrast. The glass transition temperature (Tg) remained consistent with that of the blank control group, both exceeding 550 ℃. Furthermore, the Td5%–N2 shows a marginal increase from 706 ℃ in the blank contrast to 713 ℃ in the modified material. Simultaneously conducting research on the mechanism of collaborative improvement mentioned above.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
