Abstract:

In this article, a series of polysiloxane epoxy composites were prepared through physical mixing and chemical modification methods using epoxy resin (E51) as a base material, amino?terminated polyoxypropylene (D?230) as a curing agent, and mercaptan polysiloxane (PMMS) as a modifier. The chemical structure of the cured epoxy resins were characterized using attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscope and X?ray diffractometer, and their mechanical properties, thermal stability and anti?corrosion performance were investigated through tensile and impact tests, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measurement, dynamic thermomechanical analysis, and neutral salt spray test. The results indicated that the cured epoxy resins exhibited better comprehensive properties that the conventional epoxy resin. The cured epoxy resins containing 1 wt% PMMS obtained tensile strength of 74.63 MPa, which was 13.5 % higher than that before modification. Compared to neat pure E51, the polysiloxane epoxy resins showed an increase in elongation at break by 40.2 % and in impact strength by 43.7 %. The contact angle of the cured epoxy resins increased from 72.8 ° to 100.3 °, their surface energy decreased from 39.4 J/m2 to 17.4 J/m2, their water absorption rate decreased by 44 %, and their water resistance was enhanced greatly. In addition, their anti?corrosion performance and Tg were also improved.
