Abstract
This study introduces a novel approach by designing a flexible three-dimensional Covalent Organic Framework (COFs), specifically NH2-POSS-COF, which serves as a uniform cross-linking site within the EP system. This framework provides substantial internal free volume and mitigates stress concentrations by enabling effective energy dissipation during mechanical loading. The research demonstrates that the integration of NH2-POSS-COF significantly enhances the fracture toughness and tensile strength of EP at both RT and cryogenic. These findings open new avenues for optimizing EP performance in low-temperature applications, contributing to the development of high-performance composite materials for aerospace missions.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
