Research Progress in Toughening Modification of Polybenzoxazine

Abstract

Benzoxazine is a new kind of phenolic resin developed in recent years. It possesses a lot of interesting properties including flexible molecular design, nearly zero curing shrinkage and corresponding polybenzoxazine shows excellent mechanical and heat resistance properties. However, like other thermosetting resins, polybenzoxazine also faces the disadvantages of high brittleness and low impact strength during use. This paper briefly summaries the research progress of the toughening modification of polybenzoxazine, including rubber elastomer, inorganic particles, thermoplastic engineering plastic, other thermosetting resin, hyperbranched polymer and benzoxazine molecular design modification. Furthermore, the development direction of the toughening modification of polybenzoxazine has prospected.

Bioinspired Nanoheterogeneous Alternating Multiarched Architecture: Toward a Superior Strength–Toughness Integration

“…56 Generally, fracture strength and fracture toughness are mutually exclusive. 57,58 Based on the relationship of toughness and strength, increasing one of them would lead to a sacrifice of the other. In our work, we have implemented a superior elevation of strength without sacrificing toughness through the NHAM architecture successfully.…”

An overview of high-performance phthalonitrile resins: fabrication and electronic applications

“…4–7 More recently, as a newly developed thermosetting material, phthalonitrile resins have also received widespread attention for electronic applications due to their good mechanical properties, high cross-linking density, excellent chemical and thermal stability, and low dielectric loss. 8–10 The property comparison of phthalonitrile resins with traditional thermosetting materials is laid out in Table 1.…”

Polyimide foam composites with nano-boron nitride (BN) and silicon carbide (SiC) for latent heat storage

“…Polymeric foams have several benefits compared to more rigid metal and ceramic foams, such as flexibility and ductility, shape recovery, compressibility, and easier fabrication [35]. In general, porous polymer composites fortified with various nanoscale ceramic and metal particles can be effectively used in several applications ranging from food preservation and packaging [36], robust biomedical materials [37], toughening thermosetting resins [38], and designing multifunctional composites such as antibacterial and electro-conductive polymer nanocomposites [39]. Furthermore, polymer composites containing electro-conducive fillers such as nanocarbon materials and BN have been shown to be the next-generation materials for electromagnetic interference shielding and electronics, as mentioned earlier [40][41][42][43][44].…”
