Synthesis of poly(methylphenylsiloxane)/phenylene‐silica hybrid material with interpenetrating networks and its performance as thermal resistant coating

Abstract

In this study, poly(methylphenylsiloxane) (PMPS) and phenylene‐silica based hybrid material with interpenetrating networks was prepared by a two‐step sol–gel process. Firstly, in the presence of H2SO4, the phenylene‐silica was formed as sol particles with high branching degree by cohydrolysis and condensation of phenylene‐bridged monomer, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), and hexamethyldisiloxane (MM). Then, the intermediate transformed into gel framework in polymer matrix using alkali catalyst, in order to produce a homogenous hybrid material with interpenetrating networks. The structure of prepared hybrid material was characterized by FTIR and NMR, suggesting that phenylene‐silica framework was imported into polymer matrix and the hybrid products have a much higher network chain density than neat PMPS. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the prepared materials start to degrade at around 490°C. The results of tensile test indicate that the typical PMPS/phenylene‐silica hybrid material has a tensile strength up to 26 MPa and demonstrate a certain degree of flexibility. An increase of phenylene content in phenylene‐silica particles tends to produce hybrid materials with improved thermal stability and tensile strength. The hybrid coating films after calcinating at 350 and 400°C for 2 h exhibit a good mechanical performance on adhesion, impact strength and flexibility. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements show that the investigated films have an extremely high electric resistance (1010 Ohm·cm2) and a satisfied impermeability to 3.5 wt % sodium chloride solution. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) from tris-2-hydroxy ethyl isocyanurate modified fatty acid for coating applications

Curing mechanism, heat resistance, and anticorrosion properties of a furan/methyl phenyl silicone coating

“…Also, TGA exhibited that the highest T 5% of blends exceeded 390°C, T max exceeded 500°C, and Y c exceeded 40%, which were all higher than those of pure PSi. Accordingly, the blended coating had outstanding heat resistance . Compared with thermal performance of the epoxy/methylphenyl silicone resin composites reported in recent literatures, thermal stability (the weight loss temperatures at 5 wt%) of blending composites only reached to 310°C to 380°C .…”

Influence of coalescing aids on the latex properties and film formation of waterborne coatings

“…EIS is an established method for the evaluation of the corrosion protection of coatings but can also be used to assess film properties in general . The measurements of the impedance spectra and data analysis were performed with the same procedures as described in our previous article, where we demonstrated that EIS can be used to observe the progress of latex film formation.…”
