Abstract

ABSTRACT Because of its superior mechanical qualities, chemical resistance, and adherence to a variety of substrates, epoxy resin is the most often utilized plastic matrix in composite development. However, in recent years, solvated polystyrene, also called polystyrene-based resin (PBR), has been used to make plastic resin. PBR is simple to make, inexpensive, and can be cured without the use of heat. This review evaluates the qualities, benefits, and possibilities of PBR as a composite development alternative to epoxy resin. PBR can be created manually using the mixing and laying-up techniques, and it can be fully dried at room temperature for three to ten days without the need for a curing agent or hardener. PBR has been reinforced with a variety of fillers to create different composites of competing properties depending on filler types and quantities. Future perspectives and recommendations were outlined, including the projective aspect of PBR-based composites for future work. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

溶剂化聚苯乙烯树脂:可持续替代环氧树脂在复合材料发展中的前景

由于其优异的机械性能、耐化学性和对各种基材的粘附性，环氧树脂是复合材料开发中最常用的塑料基体。然而，近年来，溶剂化聚苯乙烯，也称为聚苯乙烯基树脂(PBR)，已被用于制造塑料树脂。PBR制作简单，价格低廉，无需加热即可固化。本文综述了PBR作为环氧树脂替代材料的性能、优点和可能性。PBR可以使用混合和铺层技术手工制作，它可以在室温下完全干燥3到10天，而不需要固化剂或硬化剂。根据填料的类型和数量不同，PBR可以用各种填料进行增强，从而形成具有不同性能的复合材料。概述了未来的前景和建议，包括未来工作中基于pbr的复合材料的投影方面。图形抽象

期刊介绍： Materials Research Innovations covers all areas of materials research with a particular interest in synthesis, processing, and properties from the nanoscale to the microscale to the bulk. Coverage includes all classes of material – ceramics, metals, and polymers; semiconductors and other functional materials; organic and inorganic materials – alone or in combination as composites. Innovation in composition and processing to impart special properties to bulk materials and coatings, and for innovative applications in technology, represents a strong focus. The journal attempts to balance enduring themes of science and engineering with the innovation provided by such areas of research activity.
