Abstract:In this present work, porous mullites (PM0–5) were synthesized through a template-assisted method using various weight percentages of pluronic (P-123). PM5 obtained using 10 wt% of P-123 was found to show maximum porosity (3.8 Å) and low dielectric constant value (2.4). PM5 was functionalized using glycidyl-terminated silane and denoted as FPM and various weight percentages of FPM were reinforced with polybenzoxazine (PBZ) matrix in order to develop FPM/PBZ nanocomposites. The thermal studies indicate that 1.5… Show more
“…During the thermal curing of monomer resin (BA‐a), the FCM concurrently reinforced with the organic matrix and formed a high temperature retardant alumino silicate intercalated organic–inorganic hybrid network through bonding. This resulted in increase in the interfacial interaction and compatibility between the matrix (PBZ) and reinforcement FCM . The neat PBZ, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt% FCM reinforced PBZ nanocomposites possess the char yield value of 24%, 26%, 27%, and 29% at 750°C, respectively.…”

“…As a typical example of ceramic, mullite ceramic () is a prior candidate for application in the complex high‐temperature environment due to excellent thermal stability, lightweight, high strength and good corrosion resistance in the extreme environment 19,20 . However, the dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity are ultra‐low in the mullite ceramic 21 . Carbon fibers are usually added into the porous mullite ceramic on account of the excellent electrical conductivity, low mass density, high thermal stability, and superior conductive loss in carbon fibers 22 .…”
The frequency-dependent dielectric responses of non-uniformly dispersed porous carbon fiber/mullite composites fabricated by gel-casting are intensively investigated in the X-band range. Experimental data have shown the frequency dependence of dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity of the overall composite. The dielectric responses of non-uniformly dispersed porous carbon fiber/mullite composites in X-band are quantitatively modeled through a multi-scale homogenization method based on the effective-medium approximation. The non-uniform dispersion of carbon fibers and micro-pores in the mullite ceramic has been included via a corresponding multi-scale geometric setting. The effective dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity of the composite both enhance with the fiber volume concentration. It is demonstrated that the decreasing dielectric permittivity and increasing electrical conductivity with respect to the AC frequency can be attributed to frequency-dependent dielectric relaxation and electron hopping effects at the interface. Furthermore, improving the uniform dispersion of carbon fibers in the mullite is essential to achieve the enhanced dielectric response of porous carbon fiber/mullite composites. The present paper can provide the directions to design the porous carbon fiber/mullite composites for micro-electronic devices in the high-temperature environment.

“…As a novel class of phenolic thermosetting resins, polybenzoxazine (PB) has been attracting both scientific and industrial attentions during the past decade, 1 mostly due to its desirable thermal stability, 2 low water absorption, 3 excellent dielectric properties 4 and facile production in a solvent-less procedure. 5 These remarkable properties make PB a real candidate for use in smart materials and coatings mainly in aerospace engineering, integrated electronics and the like.…”
This research was targeted to investigate the effect of oxygen plasma treated graphene nanosheets (tGNSs) on the thermal stability of benzoxazine resin and to have a further and deeper mechanistic understanding of thermal decomposition kinetics of such nanocomposites in 0.5, 1 and 3 wt% of tGNS. The samples were prepared as reported in our previous study. The quality of dispersion of tGNSs within benzoxazine was investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. Also, to ensure the complete curing of samples the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed. Using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), it was found that the addition of tGNS improved the char yield and thermal stability parameter of benzoxazine nanocomposites and this improvement was more prominent at 1% and higher amount of nanoparticles. Moreover, the first stage of thermal degradation kinetic of benzoxazine was disappeared above 1 wt% of tGNS. The samples were kinetically analyzed through Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Friedman and Coats-Redfern method. It was revealed that the overall activation energy was enhanced from 168 to 224 kJ mol−1 and 275 to 420 kJ mol−1 for the second and third stage of degradation using 1 and 3 wt% of tGNS.
