Abstract:
Di-N-m-acetylenephenylphthalimideether (DAIE) and cyanate ester resin (CE) were used separately to modify the poly(phenyl(phenylethynylsilyl)oxidephenylborane) terminated with phenylacetylene (PSOB). Two types of fiber reinforced composites (PSOB-PTPE-DAIE and PSOB-PTPES-CE) were prepared. The thermal stability, mechanical strength, dielectric and water resistance properties of the cured resins were investigated. It was indicated that both of the two modified resins exhibited hightemperature resistance with temperature of 5% mass loss up to 534 °C and the maximum char yield of 62.9% at 800 °C in N2 atmosphere. The flexural strength of the two types of composites was more than 250 MPa at room temperature and reached the maximum of 202 MPa at 240 °C. They exhibited well water resistance and their saturated water absorbing ratio reached the minimum of 1.4%. In different processing conditions, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss angle tangent of the composite showed little changes and their dielectric properties were excellent.
