Abstract
Polybenzoxazine has attracted widespread attention as a new thermosetting resin. However, its inherent relative brittleness limits the application. In this paper, a synergistic toughening strategy utilizing liquid metal (LM) and graphene oxide (GO) self-assembled composite particles (LM@GO) is proposed to optimize the structural properties of the benzoxazine system. By controlling the ratio of LM@GO, the liquid metal component effectively inhibits crack propagation by energy absorption during deformation, while the combined effect of LM and GO enhances energy dissipation, leading to a significant improvement in mechanical properties. The experimental results showed that the impact toughness and flexural strength of the composites with 3 % LM@GO addition were 208 % and 194 % of those of the pure resin. Additionally, the thermal stability of the composite is significantly enhanced, with the char yield at 800 °C increasing from 26.8 % to 45.4 %. The composite coating exhibits outstanding comprehensive performance, including a hardness of 6H, adhesion of 5B, corrosion resistance improved by two orders of magnitude compared with the pure resin (with RC increasing from 1.4 × 104 Ω to 3.4 × 106 Ω), and its thermal conductivity is 121 % of pure resin (0.23 W/(m·K)). This study provides another insight into the toughening of polybenzoxazines and expands their potential applications in fields such as electronic heat dissipation and anticorrosion coatings.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
