Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an epoxy-cycloolefin resin composition, a thermosetting resin material, and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy resin is a widely used high-performance thermosetting polymer material. Before curing, the epoxy resin molecule contains highly chemically active functional groups such as epoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, and ether bonds. A suitable epoxy curing agent and accelerator compound system can be used to crosslink it to form a three-dimensional network structure. The resulting thermosetting resin material has excellent properties such as low deformation shrinkage, high hardness, and good chemical stability, and is therefore widely used in casting materials, laminates, and electronic appliances.

[0003] Cycloolefin resins, represented by dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), can be synthesized into thermosetting polycyclic cyclic olefin resin materials through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) in the presence of catalysts such as ruthenium carbene or traditional tungsten / molybdenum metal-organic complexes. These materials possess both high strength and toughness. After curing, a resin system composed of cyclic olefin resins and epoxy resins in appropriate proportions can form an interpenetrating network (IPN), which can effectively enhance the toughness of thermosetting epoxy resin materials.

[0004] However, current cyclic olefin resins with DCPD as the monomer (cyclic olefin mass fraction not less than 20 wt.%), when mixed with liquid epoxy resin to form compound resins, suffer from low flash points. This leads to the generation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production and transportation, posing a safety hazard of deflagration and causing significant odor issues during the preparation of thermosetting polymer materials. Furthermore, while compound resins obtained by simply using DCPD as the cyclic olefin monomer in combination with epoxy resin can improve the toughness of cured thermosetting materials, they significantly sacrifice the material's strength properties. However, since commonly used ruthenium carbene catalysts or their compositions are generally solids, they are difficult to use directly in continuous production processes. Therefore, in practical applications, solvents with sufficient solubility for ruthenium carbene catalysts and which do not undergo vigorous polymerization reactions are often used to prepare the catalyst as a solution. This solution results in a low flash point for the catalyst components, increasing VOC emissions during production and easily leading to catalyst deactivation.

[0005] CN 112547126A discloses an application of a ruthenium carbene composition, which discloses a dicyclopentadiene / epoxy resin composite material formulation: dicyclopentadiene and epoxy resin are mixed to form component A, and a ruthenium carbene catalyst composition, methyl-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (epoxy curing agent, comonomer), coupling agent KH560 and anti-aging agent are formed to form component B.

[0006] CN 112547126A discloses an application of a ruthenium carbene composition, which also discloses a dicyclopentadiene / epoxy resin composite material formulation: dicyclopentadiene and epoxy resin are mixed to form component A, and ruthenium carbene catalyst-chlorinated paraffin composition, methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (epoxy resin curing agent), 2-methylimidazolium (curing agent accelerator), glass fiber, and silane coupling agent A172 are composed of component B.

[0007] CN 112662129A discloses a resin composition, a composite material and a method for preparing the same, wherein a formulation for preparing polydicyclopentadiene is disclosed: dicyclopentadiene, graphite powder and triphenylphosphine are mixed as component A, and a catalyst-chlorinated paraffin composition and methyl-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (comonomer) are mixed as component B.

[0008] CN 113736211A discloses a dicyclopentadiene / epoxy resin composite, the material preparation process of which is as follows: a) mixing epoxy resin and DCPD evenly; b) pouring the mixed epoxy curing agent and accelerator (which may also contain solvent) composition into the epoxy resin and DCPD mixture and stirring evenly; c) adding a toluene solution of ruthenium carbene catalyst into the aforementioned mixed resin, mixing evenly, and casting the resin plate; d) obtaining the thermosetting resin by applying suitable curing conditions.

[0009] CN 114276491A discloses a method for preparing a stable liquid catalyst composition using unsaturated acid anhydrides containing C=C structures and having no more than 20 carbon atoms in the molecule and / or esters containing C=C structures and having no more than 20 carbon atoms in the molecule as solvents / dispersants for ruthenium carbene catalysts. When used in conjunction with liquid cyclic olefin / cyclic olefin compositions, it can realize the continuous and automated production of thermosetting cyclic olefin resins.

[0010] As can be seen from the above description of the prior art, the prior art generally does not meet the requirements of having both a high flash point and the ability to toughen the cured epoxy resin material. Furthermore, when DCPD is used alone as a cyclic olefin component to be compounded with epoxy resin, a high content of DCPD is required to ensure that the toughness of the cured thermosetting material meets the requirements. Moreover, the flash point of the compounded resin mixture is relatively low, which is not conducive to safe production and VOCs control in the production site. The mechanical properties of the material after the DCPD-epoxy compound resin is cured are lower than those of the material after the pure epoxy resin is cured. Summary of the Invention

[0370] Comparative Example 5

[0371] Resin composition preparation:

[0372] Component A preparation: Add 30 parts by weight of YN1828 bisphenol A type epoxy resin, 10 parts by weight of DCPD, 40 parts by weight of TCPD, 15 parts by weight of TeCPD and 5 parts by weight of PCPD to a mixing vessel. Pour nitrogen into the mixing vessel as a protective gas, heat to 50°C, stir for 5 hours, cool, and then discharge into a dedicated container for Component A.

[0373] The resulting A-component compound resin composition is in the form of a paste, and some solids cannot be fully dissolved, making it unsuitable for continuous production.

[0374] The comparative results of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 show that adding macrocyclic cyclic olefin monomers other than DCPD to the compound resin of cyclic olefin monomers and epoxy resin can effectively increase the flash point of the compound resin system, and can compensate for the reduction in mechanical properties of the thermosetting material after curing caused by the compounding of DCPD in epoxy resin, while retaining the toughening effect of the introduction of DCPD resin on the thermosetting epoxy resin material.

[0375] The comparative results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5 show that compounding epoxy resin with a certain proportion of cyclic olefin monomers can effectively improve the toughness of the cured resin material. However, when the DCPD content in the compounded resin system is too high, the resin system has good toughness but poor material strength; when the content of polycyclic cyclic olefin monomers in the compounded resin system is too high, it is impossible to compound a homogeneous resin composition that can be used for production. In addition, when the content of cyclic olefin components in the compounded resin is too low, it is impossible to effectively toughen the cured thermosetting epoxy resin.

[0376] The comparison of the results of Examples 8 and 9 shows that, under the same conditions of total cyclic olefin mass in resin and curing conditions, increasing the proportion of polycyclic cyclic olefin monomers in TeCPD and PCPD can significantly improve the tensile strength of the cured material after curing at high temperature (or under suitable curing conditions), while the toughness of the material is similar.

[0377] The thermosetting resin material obtained after curing the cyclic olefin-epoxy composite resin has significantly enhanced toughness (unnotched impact strength) compared to the thermosetting material cured with epoxy resin alone. Compared with the thermosetting material cured with DCPD-epoxy composite resin of the same cyclic olefin content, the mechanical properties are slightly improved, which makes up for part of the strength loss caused by the introduction of cyclic olefin monomers, while the toughness (unnotched impact strength) is basically the same.
