Glass/phenolic prepreg is one of the most applicable prepregs used for making composites for structural parts. To investigate the effective parameters on the processing and properties of these prepregs, thirty samples of glass/phenolic prepregs containing about 50 wt.% resins were prepared by using a resole type phenolic resin and satin glass fibre fabric. They were B-staged or pre-cured at 110 °C and 120 °C for different times from 15 to 50 min, to control the flow behaviour and tack properties. Tack and resin flow were characterized, in order to determine the conditions in which flow and tack properties are optimum. Results show that the levels of pre-cure or conversion were between 2% and 55%. The maximum tack was achieved at 5.3% conversion. Cure behaviour and rheological properties of these prepregs were studied by using differential scanning calorimetry and rheometry. An appropriate cure cycle is presented with the aid of these results. After curing the prepregs on the basis of this cure cycle, a flexural strength of 172.6 MPa and flexural modulus of 17 GPa were obtained.

In this work, typical polybenzoxazine, as new class of phenolic resin, has been used as a matrix for preparing a series of high performance hybrid materials using various amounts of titanium carbide (TiC) ranging between 0-10 wt% as fillers, via a solution blending technique. The thermal properties of bisphenol A-aniline base benzoxazine monomers (BA-a) and TiC mixtures have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal stability of their cured hybrids has been tested by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The result showed that the glass transition temperature of the prepared composites increased with increasing the amount of TiC to reach a higher value at 194°C. Also, the incorporation of TiC nanoparticles has considerably improved the thermal stability of the hybrids including the char yield which increase by 50 % at 10 wt% TiC content.

Novel silicone-based nanocomposites with varied elastic properties were prepared by blending standard polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a lower viscosity component (hydroxyl-terminated PDMS) and integrating a graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) filler modified by strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The curing behavior of these nanocomposites was studied by dynamic and isothermal differential scanning calorimetry. The activation energies of the polymerization reactions were determined using the Kissinger method and two model-free isoconversional approaches, the Ozawa–Flynn–Wall and the Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose methods. Results show that the complex trend of the curing behavior can be described using the isoconversional methods, unveiling lower activation energies for the nanocomposites with standard PDMS matrices. The role of the DNA modification of graphene on the curing behavior is also demonstrated. The curing reactions of the nanocomposites with the PDMS matrix are favored by the presence of the GNP–DNA filler. PDMS/PDMS–OH blends generate softer nanocomposites with hardness and reduced elastic modulus that can be tuned by varying the amount of the filler.
