Abstract:
A novel silane coupling agent (CA-K), designed and synthesized by our team, which contains terminal-alkyne and aromatic amic acid groups, was employed to reinforce the interfacial bonding performances of quartz fiber(QF)/silicon-containing arylacetylene (PSA) composites at high-temperature. FTIR, DSC and TGA trace analysis indicate that the imide ring structure is formed in CA-K with PSA curing process, and CA-K takes part in the curing of PSA simultaneously. XPS analysis calculates that chemical boundings form between CA-K and fiber. The interfacial bonding strength of QF/PSA composites are improved after CA-K treatment. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and flexual strength are increased by 34.7% and 40.4% compared with those of unmodified at room temperature and the retention ratios of ILSS and bending strength are 82.5% and 54.9% when the temperature rises up to 250 ℃, 85.1% and 64.2% when it is 500 ℃.
