Rheological and Thermomechanical Properties of Meso and Non-Porous Silica Filled Epoxy Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, epoxy based composite filled with meso and non-porous silica microspheres with similar size were prepared respectively and their rheological and thermo-mechanical properties were studied systematically. The results showed that the mesoporous silica/epoxy composites showed much higher viscosity, storage modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) while lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than did epoxy composites with nonporous silica particles, which could be attributed to the stronger interface interaction between the mesoporous silica filler with larger specific surface area (BET) and the epoxy matrix.
