Abstract: In this work, a novel ceramic foam/boron phenolic resin composite with interpenetrating network structure was prepared. Mullite/boron carbide skeleton reinforcement was prepared by organic foam impregnation and inert atmosphere sintering, and boron carbide/boron phenolic resin matrix was prepared by negative pressure impregnation and in situ curing. The effects of powder content (10%—30% boron carbide and kaolin) and sintering temperature (1 300—1 500 ℃) on ceramic skeleton and composite were investigated experimentally. It was found that when the sintering temperature was 1 350 ℃ and the skeleton ratio was 55% alumina, 15% boron carbide, 25% kaolin and 5% titanium dioxide respectively, the comprehensive performance of the new neutron shielding composite material was optimized with 20wt% boron carbide/boron phenolic resin. At this situation, the linear shrinkage, bulk density, apparent porosity and compressive strength of foam ceramic skeleton were 3.36%, 0.54 g/cm3, 73.7% and 0.94 MPa respectively. The apparent porosity, bulk density and compressive strength of ceramic/boron-phenolic resin composites were 0.2%, 1.22 g/cm3 and 86 MPa respectively. After ageing 10 h at 300 ℃, the residual compressive strength, residual ratio and service temperature of composites were 54 MPa, 62% and 180—330 ℃ respectively. After soaking in 10wt% boric acid solution for 72 h, the residual compressive strength, residual ratio and weight loss of composites were 82.5 MPa, 95.7% and 0.31% respectively. When placed in front of the 241Am-Be neutron source, the total neutron linear attenuation coefficient and total neutron shielding rate of composites(12—13 mm)were 0.356 cm-1 and 35.5%, while the thermal neutron linear attenuation coefficient and thermal neutron shielding rate of composites were 1.061 cm-1 and 73.0%.The novel neutron shielding material not only has a three-dimensional interpenetrating network structure, but also contains a multistage structure including boron skeleton/boron resin/boron filler, which provides a reference for the design of a novel neutron shielding material with excellent performance and high temperature resistance.
