TL;DR
This study shows that adding TPU to epoxy resin improves its toughness and insulation properties under extreme temperature changes.
Contribution
The novel approach of using TPU-filled modified EP composites enhances mechanical and electrical performance under thermal shock.
Findings
TPU/EP composites showed a 10.1% increase in elastic modulus and 15.3% increase in elongation at break after thermal cycling.
The composites exhibited a 52.1% improvement in AC breakdown strength and a 10.5% increase in volume resistivity.
Dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreased by 40.2% and 7.5%, respectively, in TPU/EP composites.
Abstract
To improve the issue of the decreased toughness and electrical performance of epoxy resin (EP) in thermal shock environments, we prepared thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU)-filled modified EP composites. We also studied the mechanical and electrical performance of these composites, which had different TPU filling contents, under thermal shock conditions. The results indicated that after 240 h of thermal cycling between −15 °C and 100 °C, the TPU/epoxy composites, when compared to unmodified EP, exhibited a 10.1% enhancement in their elastic modulus, a 15.3% increase in their elongation at break, a 22.3% improvement in their tensile strength, and a 47.8% increase in their impact strength. Moreover, their volume resistivity increased by 10.5% and their AC breakdown strength improved by 52.1%. In contrast, their dielectric constant and dielectric loss experienced reductions of…
