▎ 摘  要

We report new nanocomposites with poly(benzoxazine-co-epoxy) matrix reinforced with 1 wt% graphene. Curabox 24-111, a benzoxazine resin was copolymerised with Epilok 60-566, a mixture of epoxy resins. Copolymerisation was also carried out in the presence of different graphene powders, namely, Nanene-001 and Nanene-002, used as single fillers and as mixture (relative weight ratio 70:30 or 30:70). DSC results showed the addition of either single filler caused a delay in polymerisation and an increase in the exothermic peak temperature of the curing reaction with a related reduction in Delta H- Total. compared to the neat copolymer. Copolymerisation showed a 38% reduction and 24% increase in tensile modulus (E) compared to the neat polybenzoxazine and epoxy polymer, with a respective 18% and 30% reduction in tensile strength (TS). Nanocomposites with 0.7wt% Nanene-002 + 0.3 wt% Nanene-001 showed the highest increase of 35% in TS, a 1.6% reduction in E and 36% increase in elongation at break (EB) compared to the neat copolymer matrix. Samples with 1 wt% Nanene-001 showed the largest reduction of 21% in E, a 27% increase in TS and a 45% increase in EB. Additionally, TGA thermographs showed a 22 degrees C increase in the onset of degradation (300 degrees C-322 degrees C) improving the materials thermal stability.
