Abstract
A study was made in the present investigation on siloxane containing tetraglycidyl epoxy nanocomposites in order to determine their suitability for use in high performance applications. The synthesis of the siloxane tetraglycidyl epoxy resin denoted as ‘E’ was done and it was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra and 1H, 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectra. Nanoclay and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS)-amine nanoreinforcements denoted as N1 and N2 were incorporated into the synthesized epoxy resin. Curing was done with diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) and bis (3-aminophenyl) phenylphosphine oxide (BAPPO) curing agents denoted as X and Y respectively. The mechanical, thermal, flame retardant and water absorption behaviour of the epoxy nanocomposites were studied and the results are discussed.
