Catalytic and Synergistic Effects of Aminoethylaminopropylisobutyl Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane in the Formation of Heat-resistant Hybrid Organic-INORGANIC Polycyanurate Nanocomposites
摘要
It is shown that aminoethylaminopropylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (AEAPIB-POSS) reveals a catalytic effect on the rate of the polycyanurate network (PCN) formation, namely with an increase in its content from 0.05 to 1.0 wt.%, the reaction rate increases by 103-512%. A synergistic effect of AEAPIB-POSS on viscoelastic properties of the created hybrid organic-inorganic PCN/AEAPIB-POSS nanocomposites is found, which is manifested in non-additive enhancement of viscoelastic properties, such as elasticity modulus and glass transition temperature in comparison with PCN. The chemical incorporation of AEAPIB-POSS into PCN is confirmed by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR methods.
