- Abstract
Amine end silica sol (NH2‐silica) was prepared to react with epoxy to make hybrid polymers. With the addition of NH2‐silica, the viscosity exhibited a declining trend until their amount reached around 20%. The hybrids possessed higher decomposing temperatures and higher residues relative to neat epoxy in air; their decomposing behaviors depended on the silica additions, attributing to the joint effects of incorporation of Si‐O segments and unstable state of silica sol upon heating. When these hybrids were brushed on ceramic coatings, they infiltrated into a depth of around 60 μm. As sealing layers, they probably experienced partially decomposing, slumping, and then filling the internal defects of the ceramic coatings, some hybrid residue even moved to the boundary areas adjacent to the steel substrates after repeated heating. These hybrids may be applied as sealants on ceramic coatings to prolong the lifespan of steel construction structure at high temperature. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The addition of functional silica in epoxy influenced the viscosity and the thermal stability of the hybrid polymer, which determined the depths of their infiltration in the ceramic coatings and their residue during heating. These hybrids experienced partial decomposing, slumping, and then filling the defects of the ceramic coating to block the air reaching the metal surface such that the coated metal structure could sustain longer time at high temperatures.
