Ceramification of Composites of MgO-Al₃O₃-SiO₂/Boron Phenolic Resin with Different Calcine Time

Abstract

The ceramifiable polymer composite of MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂/boron phenolic resin(MAS/BPF) with 40wt% of inorganic fillers was calcined at 1 200 °C for different time to promote ceramification of ceramifiable composite and improve heat resistance. The effects of different calcine time on the macroscopical morphology, mass loss, phase evolution, microstructure and chemical bond evolution of MAS/BPF composites were characterized by XRD, XPS, and SEM analyses. The experimental results reveal that the increase of calcine time result in the fewer holes, relatively denser and smoother top layer of MAS/BPF composites and protect the interior from deeper decomposition. The final residues of composites are amorphous carbon and C-O-Si-Al-Mg ceramic. And MAS/BPF composites show excellent mass stability, low shrinkage and self-supporting features after 2 h holding compared with BPF composites without 40wt% of inorganic fillers.
