Effect of Different Phenolic Resins on Mechanical Properties of Meta-aramid Paper Honeycomb

Abstract

Different phenolic resins have a direct impact on the properties of aramid paper honeycombs. It is important to study the relationship between phenolic resin and honeycomb properties. Two different phenolic resins are used to prepare aramid paper honeycomb core materials, and the compression properties, shear properties, flame retardancy and dielectric properties of the prepared honeycomb core material are tested. Combining the observation of resin end face resin distribution and contact angle measurement, the reasons for the difference in performance of honeycomb core materials prepared by two kinds of resins are analyzed. The results show that the temperature resistance of the resin itself directly affects the temperature resistance of the honeycomb and the volatilization rate of solvent water in the resin and the surface tension between the resin and the aramid paper affect the resin distribution of the resin on the honeycomb wall. When the content of the honeycomb core resin is the same, the resin rubber column at the end of the joint is beneficial to increase the compressive strength of the honeycomb core material, but the accumulation of the resin at the end of the node reduces the wall thickness of the honeycomb, resulting in a decrease in the shear strength and modulus of the honeycomb.
