Abstract
Hyperbranched polymer with amino end groups (HBPA) and core-shell particle (CSP, which is fabricated through grafting HBPA onto the surface of silica nanoparticle) were incorporated into an epoxy matrix to fabricate a high performance composite. The effects of CSPs contents on the mechanical properties of composites were studied, discussing the results from tensile, flexural, and impact tests. The composites revealed noticeable improvements in tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength and impact strength in comparison to the neat epoxy or epoxy/HBPA system. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was also improved by the addition of CSP. Field emission scanning electron micrograph (FESEM) indicated that HBPA could favorable improve the compatibility between CSP and epoxy matrix. And the toughening mechanisms were the synergic effect of shearing deformation, phase separation, crack propagation, crack deflection, and crack pinning.
