Abstract

In this work, the synthesized nanoporous aluminum fumarate (Al_FA_A) metal organic framework (MOF) has been used as reactive filler for the bisphenol-A dicyanate (BADCy) resin system. The use of Al_FA_A is interesting due to the involvement of double bonds (fumarate) in triazine during polymerization. The thermal properties of the polymers formed with and without reactive filler were evaluated under different curing temperatures, prepolymerizations and post-polymerizations conditions. All the samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Evolved gas analysis. On the contrary, the cure chemistry was determined by non-isothermal model free kinetic methods. This study provides a new path to utilize the MOFs as reactive nanoparticle fillers to obtain multifunctional materials.
