In this paper, polyether-grafted-epoxide polysiloxane (FEPMS) was synthesized via hydrosilylation among poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS), allyl polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene ether (F6) and allyl glycidyl ether to modify Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol A (DGEBA). The morphology, thermal properties, and toughness of all cured samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and impact testing. Results indicated that grafted polysiloxane can be well dispersed in epoxy matrix, and the epoxy resin modified with FEPMS at relatively low addition levels exhibited higher thermal properties and improved toughness than the neat epoxy resin.
