PMSEPE/Q8M8^H nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy, rheological measurement, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA). The experimental results show that the hydrosilylation reaction in PMSEPE/Q8M8^H nanocomposites occurs slowly exceeding 180 ℃. PMSEPE/Q8M8^H nanocomposites can be cured at temperatures less than 260 ℃ and the cube structure of Q8M8^H keeps stable during the curing process. POSS domains are evenly dispersed in the cured nanocomposite. However, serious aggregation of POSS occurs at 15% Q8M8^H content. The thermal and thermooxidative stabilities of PMSEPE/Q8M8^H nanocomposites obviously depend on the content of Q8M8^H. The incorporation of Q8M8^H can effectively enhance the thermal and thermooxidative stabilities of cured PMSEPE. PMSEPE/Q8M8^H nanocomposites can be the candidates for applications in high temperature environment.展开更多
