Abstract:
To overcome the excessive brittleness and lower thermal resistant of bismaleimide resins, the silicon dioxide with amino terminal groups (SiO
2-NH
2) was chosen as raw materials to prepare benzoxazine monomer containing SiO
2 (SiO
2-BOZ). The SiO
2-BOZ was then used as the modified system to modify bismaleimide (BMI), aiming to obtain a kind of new SiO
2-BOZ/BMI composites with better processability and heat-resistant properties, while the influence of addition of SiO
2-BOZ on curing reaction kinetics of BMI was also studied. The results show that when the content of SiO
2-BOZ reaches 15.0wt%, the apparent activation energy of SiO
2-BOZ/BMI resin is reduced to a certain extent compared with that of pure BMI resin, and the bending strength of SiO
2-BOZ/BMI reaches a maximum of 166.12 MPa, which is 32.3% higher than that of pure BMI, the SiO
2-BOZ/BMI also possesses better heat resistance than that of BMI.
