Abstract

To enhance the properties of epoxy composites, the biphenyl diol formaldehyde resin (BPFR) and glycidyloxypropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (G-POSS) were synthesized and used for modification of fiber-glass reinforced composites of epoxy resin (ER). The BPFR was employed to cure epoxy resin with different G-POSS contents and the laminates of fiber-glass reinforced hybrid composites prepared from BPFR, ER and G-POSS. The dynamic mechanical properties, thermal properties, mechanical and electrical properties of the hybrid composites were characterized by dynamic mechanical analyzer, thermogravimetric analyzer and electroproperty detector. The results showed that the T g of the composites is increased with the addition of G-POSS. When the content of G-POSS is 5 wt%, the tensile and impact strength of the hybrid composites are 249.87 MPa and 63.83 kJ/m2, respectively, which are all 30 % higher than those of non-added composites. At G-POSS content of 7 wt%, T g of the material is 9.6 °C higher than pure BPFR/ER composite, and the initial decomposition temperature, T id, is enhanced by about 29 °C. Dielectric constant, ε, and dielectric loss, tanδ, of the hybrid composites are between 0.53–0.7 and between 0.004–0.012, respectively.
