Glass fiber reinforced SiC hybrid environmentally friendly phenolic resin composite

SiC hybrid environmentally friendly phenolic resin has been prepared. SiC particles were first pretreated with a silane coupling agent, then the resin was mixed with paraformaldehyde. The mixture was grinded with a ball crusher for several hours and added during the phenolic resin polymerization process to yield a SiC hybrid phenolic resin. The hybrid phenolic resin was studied by FT-IR, TGA and SEM techniques. The thermal degradation kinetic parameters were calculated by Kissinger, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa and Crane methods. The properties of the glass fiber reinforced environmentally friendly phenolic resin hybrid composite were determined. The results revealed that while the heat resistance of the hybrid resin, the mechanical strength and the electrical properties of its composite were obviously improved, the degradation mechanism was complicated.
