Fabrication of benzoxazine functionalized particles

A method, comprising:

• adding silicon carbide particles to an alkaline solution;
• stirring the alkaline solution to cause the silicon carbide particles to acquire hydroxyl groups producing activated silicon carbide particles;
• dispersing the activated silicon carbide particles into a solvent solution;
• adding acetylene benzoxazine into the solvent solution;
• mixing the solvent solution;
• removing the solvent from the solvent solution to produce acetylene-benzoxazine functionalized particles;
• drying the acetylene-benzoxazine functionalized silicon carbide particles;
• and
• mixing a mixture of the acetylene-benzoxazine functionalized silicon carbide particles with a benzoxazine monomer;
• initiating polymerization of the benzoxazine monomer in the mixture to create a resin having the acetylene-benzoxazine functionalized silicon carbide particles dispersed within;
• and
• curing the resin;
• wherein the solvent is one or more selected from the group consisting of:
• dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloro ethane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylene glycol ethers, dimethyl glycol ethers, ethyl glycol ethers, diethylene glycol, and triethylene glycol.
