| Summary: | Excellent thermoset monomers, bisphenol-A-based biscyanate ester (BADCy) and bispropargyl ether (BPEBPA), are synthesized and thermally cured to high-temperature thermosetting polymers. The nanoporous aluminum fumarate (Al_FA_A), an interesting Metal-Organic Framework (MOF), is synthesized in an eco-friendly manner and used as a reactive nanoparticle filler. The interaction of fumarate π bonds (trans -CH=CH-) in MOF with the reactive end functional groups (-O-C ≡ N) in cyanate ester (CE) and (-CH2-C ≡ CH) in bispropargyl (BP) ethers is focused in these hybrid nanocomposites. The % decrease in enthalpy of curing in the organic and the inorganic blends (~60% for CE and ~ 10% for BP) indicates the interaction exciting between the MOF and the organic component. The addition of the aluminum fumarate MOF increases the glass transition temperature of the polymers. The amount of heat released for every increase in 1°C during the temperature window of curing (ΔHc/TE-TS) of the neat BADCy resin is approximately 2.4 times higher than the blend (BADCy+Al_FA_A). But BPEBPA shows only a 1% higher temperature curing window compared to its blend with MOF. The metal hotspots present in the hybrid nanocomposites may be the reason for the decrease in the thermal stability, and the % char residue is noted at 700°C. The TG-FTIR studies are done to predict the gaseous products (CO2) evolved during thermal degradation. |
