In modern materials science, epoxy resins are widely used in electronics, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and other fields due to their excellent physical properties and chemical stability. traditional epoxy resins still have limitations in mechanical strength, heat resistance, and other aspects, restricting their application in harsher environments. Silanized monomer-modified epoxy resins (Si-modified epoxy resins), as emerging materials, significantly enhance comprehensive performance by introducing silicon elements into the epoxy resin molecular structure. This paper explores the research progress, advantages, and potential applications of silanized monomer-modified epoxy resins.

Silanized monomer-modified epoxy resins involve using silane monomers as modifiers to chemically bond silicon elements into the epoxy resin molecular structure, forming new covalent bonds. These modifications impart novel properties to the material. Silane monomers exhibit unique chemical characteristics, such as low surface energy and high reactivity, enabling effective cross-linking with epoxy resins to form three-dimensional network structures. This enhances mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
