Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer grouting materials, and more specifically to a method for preparing an epoxy resin curing agent containing MOFs. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy resins are widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace, electronic packaging, and energy equipment due to their high strength, high modulus, chemical resistance, excellent adhesion, and superior thermal and dimensional stability. Before curing, epoxy resins are liquid or have a low softening point and require a curing agent to become usable.

[0003] Commonly available curing agents are mainly room-temperature curing amines and acid anhydrides. When using them, the epoxy resin and curing agent must be mixed evenly on-site according to the specified ratio. This process is cumbersome, and the prepared product must be used up within a short period of time and cannot be stored for a long time. Some amine curing agents also release toxic gases that are easily volatilized, which can endanger the health of operators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an epoxy resin curing agent containing MOFs that has low activity at low temperatures and is stable during storage, along with its preparation method and application.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is: a method for preparing an epoxy resin curing agent containing MOFs, comprising the following steps: S1, weigh out the organic ligand and dissolve it in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. Sodium hydroxide was dissolved in distilled water, and sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added dropwise to the organic ligand solution. The solution was stirred at room temperature for half an hour, filtered and dried to obtain disodium salt. S2 Dissolve the disodium salt precipitate obtained in step (1) in distilled water; weigh a certain amount of manganese chloride, slowly add 10 mL of deionized water and stir to dissolve, add the disodium salt aqueous solution obtained in step (1), mix, stir at room temperature for half an hour, centrifuge, and vacuum dry to obtain metal-organic framework (MOF) material Mn-NPA. S3, the Mn-NPA is heated to 70°C and dried and activated under vacuum (vacuum degree -0.8MPa); S4, the Mn-NPA is mixed with an ethanol solution of an imidazole compound to carry out a loading reaction; S5. The mixture after the loading reaction is completed is filtered, dried and processed to obtain epoxy resin curing agent powder containing MOFs.

[0006] Furthermore, the aforementioned organic ligand is nitroterephthalic acid.

[0007] Furthermore, the aforementioned imidazole compounds are 2-methylimidazole or 3,5-dimethylpyrazole.

[0008] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the above-mentioned nitroterephthalic acid: DMF: sodium hydroxide: manganese chloride is 1:13:2:1.

[0009] Furthermore, the heating temperature in step S3 above is 70°C, and the vacuum degree is -0.8 MPa.

[0010] Furthermore, the mass ratio between the above-mentioned Mn-NPA and imidazole compounds is 1 to 7:10.

[0011] An epoxy resin curing agent obtained by any of the above preparation methods.

[0012] The above-mentioned epoxy resin curing agent is used in epoxy resin, and the mass ratio between the epoxy resin curing agent and epoxy resin is 1:9.

[0013] The MOF-containing epoxy resin curing agent of this invention can prepare epoxy resin coatings into a single component, ready to use upon opening, convenient to apply, easy to apply, and less prone to curing, thus minimizing waste. After the epoxy resin coating is applied, the MOF material pores are activated at a set temperature, causing the pores to release curing agent molecules, which then react with the epoxy resin to cure.

Compared with pure Mn-NPA, the curing agent 2MI@Mn-NPA experiences a 35% mass loss before 350℃, indicating that 2MI@Mn-NPA begins to release 2MI molecules at 170℃. The curing agent 2MI@Mn-NPA was successfully prepared, exhibiting good thermal stability, and the 2MI molecule loading rate is as high as 35%.

[0077] Figure 3 The image shows the XRD pattern of Mn-NPA, indicating that the metal Mn ions have coordinated with the ligand NPA to form a metal-organic framework structure material with good crystallinity.

[0078] Figure 4 The range of 800–750 cm⁻¹ corresponds to the out-of-plane bending vibration of the aromatic ring (benzene ring) CH₄. Mn-NPA exhibits vibrations at 1500 cm⁻¹. -1 There is a broad peak with strong absorption, which is attributed to the stretching vibration peak of COO-. It has undergone a significant red shift relative to NPA, indicating that the metal ion has coordinated with the ligand. From the above, it can be concluded that Mn-NPA was successfully prepared.

[0079] Comparing the infrared spectra of 2MI@Mn-NPA and Mn-NPA in the spectrum, 2MI@Mn-NPA has a 1562 cm⁻¹. -1 The characteristic peak of COO- stretching vibration at the point of origin also shows a slight redshift relative to Mn-NPA, but other characteristic absorption peaks are not significantly different, indicating that a very small amount of surface metal may coordinate with 2MI, but the main structure of the metal-organic framework surface has not changed significantly.
