Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fatigue-resistant and recyclable epoxy resins, and particularly relates to a fatigue-resistant and degradable epoxy resin composite material and a preparation and degradation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Epoxy resin is an important type of thermosetting plastic. After curing, it has the characteristics of high strength, light weight, and weather resistance. It is widely used in aerospace, wind power, electronic packaging and other fields. However, when epoxy resin is exposed to high temperature, high humidity, ultraviolet light and other application scenarios for a long time, molecular chain breakage, cross-linking network destruction or stress concentration will cause structural damage such as microcracks, which greatly affects the service life of the epoxy resin material. In addition, similar to other traditional thermosetting plastics, epoxy resin is insoluble and infusible after curing. The irreversible covalent network hinders its degradation, reshaping and reprocessing, resulting in serious environmental and resource waste. Therefore, how to ensure that epoxy resin products maintain excellent comprehensive performance over a long service life and carry out scientific degradation treatment and recycling after retirement has become a difficult problem in the epoxy resin field.

[0003] Designing a fatigue-resistant, degradable epoxy resin composite can effectively solve the above problems. At present, the methods for enhancing the fatigue resistance of epoxy resin mainly include introducing toughening agents, nanoparticles, fibers or dynamic covalent bonds into the resin formula. The introduced toughening agents include rubber elastomers and thermoplastics. Rubber elastomers can absorb energy by inducing silver streaks and shear yielding, thereby inhibiting crack propagation; the introduction of thermoplastics can produce an interpenetrating network with epoxy, enhancing toughness and thus improving fatigue resistance; the introduction of nanoparticles can improve the fatigue life of epoxy resin by hindering crack propagation and limiting the slippage of molecular chains. For example, patent CN119570233A discloses a polymer-modified epoxy resin toughening agent, which contains a nano-silicon dioxide / nano-zirconium dioxide mixture to obtain a high-strength, high-toughness, and high-heat-resistant epoxy resin system. However, the fillers introduced by the above methods have a series of problems such as increased viscosity of the epoxy resin composition after addition, making it difficult to meet the infusion requirements of large structural parts and being difficult to degrade and recycle. In addition, the current degradation and recycling of epoxy resins mostly relies on high temperature and high pressure environments and complex post-degradation processing processes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the aforementioned prior art, the present invention provides a fatigue-resistant, degradable epoxy resin composite, as well as its preparation and degradation methods.

This indicates that the fatigue-resistant catalyst has no negative impact on the degradation performance of the epoxy resin.

[0072] Comparative Example 1: Recycling of epoxy resin degradation products. A degradation mixture from Comparative Example 1 was prepared. Deionized water (twice the volume of the mixture) was added to the mixture. The mixture was stirred and allowed to stand until the solids were completely precipitated. A solid first degradation product and a liquid second degradation product were separated. The first degradation product was mixed with E51 and cured using MACM. The cured resin had a tensile strength of 61 MPa and an elongation at break of 2.9%. The liquid second degradation product, after rotary evaporation to remove the deionized water, was used as the degradation solution to degrade the epoxy resin obtained in Comparative Example 1. Under nitrogen protection, the resin was completely degraded by stirring at 110°C for 4 hours.
