The curing characteristics, kinetics, thermal stability and dynamic mechanical property were studied by standard thermal analysis techniques including DSC, TGA, and DMA. The peak temperature of exothermic peak ( Tp) and apparent activation energy ( Ea) of sulfaguanidine cured phthalonitrile resin were 263.20°C and 76.6 kJ·mol−1 respectively, much lower than those of traditional aromatic diamine cured resin. Moreover, the resin cured by sulfaguanidine showed excellent thermomechanical properties and thermal stability. The glass transition temperature ( Tg) was 284.8°C, the initial thermal decomposition temperature ( Td,5%) was 439.6°C, and the char yield at 800°C was 62.1% in nitrogen atmosphere. To sum up, organic guanidine cured phthalonitrile resin exhibits excellent curing characteristics (low Tp and Ea) and high thermal properties, which provides a promising approach to preparing phthalonitrile resin with high comprehensive performance.","PeriodicalId":504490,"journal":{"name":"High Performance Polymers","volume":" 42","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141373734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing two types of silicon-containing arylacetylene resins, poly (silylene arylacetylene) (PSA) and poly (silane arylether arylacetylene) (PSEA), cannot balance these three requirements well. To achieve this goal, an attempt was made to synthesize a copolymerized resin containing both diethynylbenzene and diynyl arylether structures in the main chain, silicon-containing poly (diethynylbenzene-co-phenoxyphenoxybenzenediacetylene). By controlling the amount of 1,3-diethynylbenzene ( m-DEB) and 1,3-bis(4′-ethynylphenoxy)benzene ( pmp-BEPB), several random copolymerized resins with various ratios of m-DEB to pmp-BEPB were synthesized by the Grignard reactions. The results show that the introduction of m-DEB could effectively reduce the viscosity of the resin, and thermal stability of the cured resin is improved, but the mechanical strength of the cured resin is slightly reduced. The copolymerized resin has good overall performance when the amount of m-DEB and pmp-BEPB is equal. The processing window of the resin is 56∼169°C, the flexural strength and modulus of the cured resin are 32.9 MPa and 2.7 GPa, respectively, and the temperatures of 5% weight loss (Td5) of the cured resin is 589°C in nitrogen.","PeriodicalId":504490,"journal":{"name":"High Performance Polymers","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141371018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were modified with melamine amino tris-methylene phosphonate (MA) to produce MA-modified HNTs (HMA), which were then integrated into EP to form EP/HMA composites. The incorporation of 1 wt% HMA significantly enhanced the flame retardancy (limit oxygen index up to 29.7%, UL-94 V-0 rating), reduced peak heat release rate by 23.4%, decreased total heat release by 11.9%, reduced total smoke production by 18.4%, and improved mechanical properties (tensile strength by 17.0%, impact strength by 61.0%) compared to pure EP. Additionally, EP/HMA showed a low dielectric constant (3.16) and a dielectric loss (0.019) at 1 GHz. This research presents a versatile strategy for creating multifunctional EP composites with high potential for applications in microelectronics, electronic packaging, and other relevant fields.","PeriodicalId":504490,"journal":{"name":"High Performance Polymers","volume":"36 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140979787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
