Abstract
Specific heat capacity of boron nitride-filled polybenzoxazine has been investigated by using temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, TMDSC, to study that it is a composite structure-insensitive property, i.e. independent of the degree of filler network formation. Many aspects of boron nitride filler such as particle size, particle surface area, particle shape, and filler loading are investigated. At the same filler loading, we observe insignificant change in composite specific heat capacity due to the effect of particle size, particle surface area, and particle shape. Filler loading is found to be the only aspect of filler that can change the specific heat capacity of this filled system. A linear relationship between the composite heat capacities and filler loading is observed and can be predicted by the rule of mixture with an error within ±1%. Within the temperature range betwen 0 and 80°C, the temperature dependent heat capacity of this composite can simply be expressed in the form of a linear equation: Cp=A+BT.
