Polysilazane (PSN2) was used as chemical foaming agent to prepare epoxy foam for the first time. Using the new foaming agent, epoxy foams with high strength and low density were successfully prepared. The density of epoxy foam can be tuned from 0.321 to 0.151 g cm by changing the content of PSN2 from 2.50 to 7.50 wt%, with the compressive strength varied from 7.39 to 1.25 MPa. The morphology, porosity, mechanical property, thermal conductivity and adhesive property of foams with different polysilazane content were investigated. Besides, the effect of polyamine curing agent and surfactant on foams was also investigated to optimize the as-prepared epoxy foam.
首次使用聚硅氮烷(PSN2)作为化学发泡剂制备环氧泡沫。使用这种新型发泡剂,成功制备出了高强度、低密度的环氧泡沫。通过将PSN2的含量从2.50 wt% 改变到7.50 wt%,环氧泡沫的密度可从0.321 g/cm³ 调整到0.151 g/cm³,抗压强度从7.39 MPa 变化到1.25 MPa。研究了不同聚硅氮烷含量泡沫的形态、孔隙率、力学性能、热导率和粘附性能。此外,还研究了多胺固化剂和表面活性剂对泡沫的影响,以优化所制备的环氧泡沫。
