Preparation And Characterization Of Highly Filled Graphite-Based Polybenzoxazine Composites, A. Pengdam, S. Rimdusit

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals

This research aims to study suitable preparation methods and to characterize highly filled graphite composites using polybenzoxazine as a matrix. The high loading of graphite filler was attained in the range of 40 to 80% by wt. due to the very low a-stage viscosity of the benzoxazine resin (BA-a) used. The suitable condition for the compression molding of the highly filled graphite-polybenzoxazine (PBA-a) composites was at temperature of 200°C, and pressure of 15 MPa in the hydraulic hot-press machine for 3 hours to assure a fully cured specimen. The densities of the obtained composites were found to be in a …
