Abstract

En 中文
• A novel boron modifier 4-HPBAPE was adopted to fabricate boron-modified novolac resins, and 8% modification achieved the optimal char yield (70.60%) and thermal stability. • Experimental characterizations (FTIR, NMR, XPS) confirmed that boron was covalently grafted onto resin chains via stable B-O and B-O-C bonds, forming boron-oxygen rings and promoting carbon skeleton ordering at high temperatures. • ReaxFF MD simulations revealed that appropriate boron modification suppressed the generation of small-molecule products (H2O, CO, C1-C5), raised the pyrolysis activation energy (NR8: 127.0 vs. NR0: 107.1 kJ/mol), and effectively inhibited thermal decomposition.
