HIGH USE TEMPERATURE NANOCOMPOSITIE RESINS

摘要

A method of using olefin containing and silanol containing nanostructured chemicals as high temperature resins is described. Vinyl containing nanostructured chemicals are particularly effective in thermosets as they control the motions of polymer chains, and segments, at the molecular level. Silanol containing nanostructured chemicals are particularly effective in thermosets containing polar groups as the silanol can enhance polar group reactivity.. Nanostructured chemicals have tailorable compatibility with fluorinated polymers, and can be readily and selectively incorporated into polymers by direct blending and polymerization. The incorporation of a nanostructured chemical into a polymer improves polymer physical properties, particularly heat distortion and flammability characteristics, permeability, optical properties, texture, feel and durability, lower thermal conductivity, and gas oxygen permeability, in addition to time dependent mechanical and thermal properties such as creep, compression set, shrinkage, modulus, and hardness. These improved properties may be useful in applications including composite materials, foams, cosmetics, and durable coatings.
