Thermal Properties of Carbon/Epoxy Resin Composites Based on the Template of Artificial Sponge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Artificial sponge was used as the template to produce carbon/epoxy resin composites with interpenetrating network structure. Carbon with a network structure was first obtained by the pyrolysis of sponge. The composites were then obtained by injecting epoxy resin into the carbon. Their microstructures, thermal diffusivity, and thermal expansions were analyzed. The results show that the structure of sponge controlled the interpenetrating network structures of the carbon/epoxy resin composites. The composites exhibit a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and a high thermal diffusivity than the epoxy resin.
