Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a biomass epoxy monomer, a recyclable shape memory resin based on the biomass epoxy monomer and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of functional polymer materials. Background Art

[0002] Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of stimulus-responsive polymers that can change and fix their shapes under certain conditions; subsequently, through external stimuli such as heat, electricity, light, chemical induction, etc., the polymers can be made to recover their original shapes. Therefore, SMPs have important applications in many fields, especially when they are used as deployment components and structures, enabling the complex, large-scale, and high-volume assembly of devices. High performance and greenness are the two main directions of material research and development, and the same is true for the research and development of functional polymer materials. High heat resistance and high mechanical strength are typical indicators of high-performance green polymer materials, while most of the currently developed SMPs have a low glass transition temperature (Tg) and are not suitable for fields with high requirements for heat resistance. Moreover, their tensile strength is relatively low.

[0003] In particular, most SMPs cannot be reshaped or recycled due to their irreversible three-dimensional network cross-linked structure. The large accumulation of discarded functional polymer materials will cause irreversible environmental pollution, which is one of the key problems restricting their future applications and development. The prior art synthesized an epoxy resin containing an amide bond using tyramine and bisphenolic acid as raw materials. Both the tyramine and bisphenolic acid used are biomass raw materials, with outstanding heat resistance, a glass transition temperature (T g ) of 126 °C, high impact strength (21.80 KJ / m 2 without notch) and tensile strength (89.99 MPa), but it cannot be degraded, recycled, or self-healed, nor does it have a dual shape memory function.

The morphology before and after microcrack self-repair is observed using a super-depth-of-field microscope (VH X 5000, Japan). The dynamic thermomechanical properties of the material are tested using a dynamic thermomechanical analyzer (DMA, TA Q800, USA), with a frequency of 1 Hz, heating from 25°C to 250°C at a heating rate of 3°C / min, and the specimen size is 30 mm × 3 mm × 1 mm.

[0041] As an example, the preparation process of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin disclosed in the present invention is shown in Figure 1 , and is specifically as follows:

[0042] (1) After reacting tyrosol and bisphenolic acid by heating, an intermediate is obtained;

[0043] (2) Reacting the intermediate and epichlorohydrin by heating to obtain a bisphenolic acid epoxy monomer;

[0044] (3) Curing the bisphenolic acid epoxy monomer to obtain a biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin.

[0045] In the above step (1), the molar ratio of tyrosol to bisphenolic acid is 1:(0.5 - 1.5), preferably 1:1; the temperature for the heating reaction is 170 - 185°C, and the time is 3 - 8 h. Preferably, the temperature for the heating reaction is 175 - 180°C, and the time is 4 - 6 h; in step (2), the molar ratio of the intermediate to epichlorohydrin is 1:(5 - 15), preferably 1:10; the heating reaction is carried out in an alcohol solvent. Preferably, the alcohol solvent is ethanol; the temperature for the heating reaction is 80 - 100°C, and the time is 1 - 2 h. Preferably, the temperature for the heating reaction is 80 - 90°C, and the time is 1.5 - 2 h; the heating reaction is carried out in the presence of an inorganic base. Preferably, the inorganic base is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.; the amount of the inorganic base is 1 - 1.5 times the molar amount of phenolic hydroxyl groups in the intermediate, preferably 1.1 - 1.2 times, such as 1.1 times; in step (3), the curing temperature is 100 - 160°C, and the time is 5 - 16 h. Preferably, the curing is carried out in a stepwise temperature increase manner, and the heat preservation time at each step temperature is not less than 1 h, and the temperature difference between adjacent steps does not exceed 30°C.

[0046] Specifically, the preparation method of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] (1) By mole, 100 parts of tyrosol and 100 parts of bisphenolic acid are mixed, and then stirred and reacted at 175 - 180°C for 4 - 6 h, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain an intermediate;

[0048] (2) By mole, 100 parts of the intermediate and 1000 parts of epichlorohydrin are mixed in ethanol, and then an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1 mol / L, 1 - 1.5 times the equivalent amount per mole of phenolic hydroxyl group) is added dropwise to the mixture, and the reaction is carried out at 80 - 100°C for 1 - 2 h, and naturally cooled to room temperature. Then the mixture is mixed with dichloromethane, washed with deionized water, and rotary evaporated (80°C, 0.1 MPa) to remove the solvent, and a bisphenolic acid epoxy monomer is obtained by vacuum distillation (120°C);

[0049] (3) The bisphenolic acid epoxy monomer obtained in step (2) is defoamed and then cured to obtain a biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin.

[0050] The present invention discloses a method for shape change and recovery of the above biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin, including the following steps:

[0051] (1) At the deformation temperature, the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the original shape is changed into a new shape to obtain a biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new shape, and the shape change is completed; as common knowledge, the deformation is achieved under the action of conventional external forces;

[0052] (2) Heat the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new shape to the deformation temperature and keep it warm for 5 - 20 s. The biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new shape returns to its original shape, completing the shape recovery.

[0053] In the above technical solution, the deformation temperature is 10 - 100 °C above the glass transition temperature of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin. As common knowledge, it is lower than the initial thermal decomposition temperature (5%); preferably, the deformation temperature is 10 - 80 °C above the glass transition temperature of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin. More preferably, the deformation temperature is 20 - 60 °C above the glass transition temperature of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin.

[0054] Preferably, when the deformation temperature in step (1) is 10 - 40 °C above the glass transition temperature of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin, step (2) is carried out without external force, and the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new shape can be restored to its original shape, indicating that the product of the present invention has excellent shape memory ability. Further, step (2) can also be carried out under external force.

[0055] Preferably, when the deformation temperature in step (1) is 40 - 100 °C above the glass transition temperature of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin, step (2) is carried out under external force, and the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new shape can be restored to its original shape. In particular, the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new shape obtained in step (1) of this method has good shape retention ability. Without external force, when heated to the deformation temperature, it cannot be restored to the original shape, which is very beneficial for the application of structural materials; further, when the original shape is required, apply an external force (the force that can achieve the original shape), and heat it to the deformation temperature to restore it to the original shape, indicating that the product of the present invention has excellent shape memory ability.

[0056] The specific example steps of the method for shape change and recovery of the above biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin are as follows:

[0057] (1) When the temperature is heated to 10 - 20 °C above the glass transition temperature, under external force, change the resin with the original shape into the required new shape.

[0058] (2) Cool to room temperature, and the new shape described in step (1) is fixed, becoming a new permanent shape II of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin.

[0059] (3) Heat the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new permanent shape II to 10 - 20 °C above its glass transition temperature and hold for 5 - 20 s. The resin will automatically return from the permanent shape II in step (2) to the permanent original shape I, i.e., the original shape. When heating, the resin is conventionally placed in an oven without external force.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] (1) Preparation of intermediate

[0062] Mix 6 g of tyrosol (CAS#: 501 - 94 - 0) and 12.52 g of bisphenolic acid (CAS#: 126 - 00 - 1), then stir and react at 175 °C for 4 h, then naturally cool to room temperature, wash with boiling water, and then remove water by rotary evaporation (70 °C, 0.1 MPa) to obtain the intermediate with a yield of 92%; its nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 1 H-NMR) and nuclear magnetic resonance carbon spectrum ( 13 C-NMR) are shown in Appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

[0063] (2) Preparation of bisphenolic acid epoxy monomer

[0064] At room temperature, mix 10 g of the intermediate and 16.10 g of epichlorohydrin in 35 mL of ethanol, then add sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (1 mol / L, 1.1 times the equivalent amount per mole of phenolic hydroxyl group) dropwise to the mixture. After the addition is completed (1 minute), react at 80 °C for 2 h, then naturally cool to room temperature. Mix the obtained mixture with 30 mL of dichloromethane, wash with 100 mL of deionized water, then remove dichloromethane and most of the ethanol by rotary evaporation (80 °C, 0.1 MPa), and then obtain the bisphenolic acid epoxy monomer by vacuum distillation (120 °C) with a yield of 93%; Figure 4 is its nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum ( 1 H NMR); Figure 5 is its nuclear magnetic resonance carbon spectrum ( 13 C-NMR); Figure 6 is its high-resolution mass spectrum.

[0065] (3) Preparation of biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin

[0066] Mix 10.0 g of bisphenol acid epoxy monomer, 2.9 g of itaconic anhydride and 0.91 g of zinc acetylacetonate evenly at 80 °C, pour it into a mold conventionally, and then defoam it (80 °C, 10 min, 0.1 MPa). Then, cure it successively according to the process of 100 °C / 2 h + 120 °C / 2 h + 140 °C / 2 h + 160 °C / 2 h. After curing, let it cool naturally in the oven to obtain the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin. The thermogravimetric curve, dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA) curve and tensile stress-strain curve are respectively shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 .

[0067] It can be seen from this that the glass transition temperature (T g DMA) of the above biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin is 140 °C, and T d5% is 293 °C. Further, the flexural modulus, flexural strength and tensile strength of the above biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin at room temperature are 3.86 GPa, 115.1 MPa and 85.12 MPa respectively, showing outstanding mechanical properties.

[0068] See Figure 10 , the specific steps of the shape change and recovery method of the above biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin are as follows:

[0069] (1) At 160 °C, under the action of an external force, change the resin with the original shape into the required new shape;

[0070] (2) Naturally cool to room temperature, and the new shape described in step (1) is fixed to become a new permanent shape II of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin;

[0071] (3) Place the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new permanent shape II at 160 °C (without external force) for 10 seconds, and the resin automatically returns from the permanent shape II in step (2) to the permanent original shape I, that is, the original shape.

[0072] Further:

[0073] (4) At 200 °C, under the action of an external force, change the resin with the original shape into the required new shape, and maintain this temperature and external force for 30 min; to become a new permanent shape III of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin;

[0074] (5) At 160 °C, under the action of an external force, change the resin with the permanent shape III into the required new shape;

[0075] (6) Naturally cool to room temperature, and the new shape described in step (5) is fixed to become a new permanent shape Ⅳ of the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin;

[0076] (7) Place the biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin with the new permanent shape Ⅳ at 160 °C (without external force) for 8 seconds, and the resin automatically returns from the permanent shape Ⅳ in step (6) to the permanent shape Ⅲ, not the original shape;

[0077] (8) At 200 °C, under the action of external force for 30 min, restore the resin with the permanent shape Ⅲ to the original shape.

[0078] In this embodiment, a conventional mold is used to provide external force. In actual production or application, other methods that can deform the resin strip can also be used, which is a conventional technique.

[0079] The microcrack self-healing performance test of the above-mentioned biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin is as Figure 11 shown. Use a blade to scratch a 118-μm-wide scratch on the resin surface, and then place it in an oven at 200 °C for 30 min. The crack almost completely disappears and cannot be observed.

[0080] The welding performance test of the above-mentioned biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin is as Figure 12 shown. Fit two resin strips (with dimensions of 40 mm × 10 mm × 1 mm) under the action of external force. After placing them in an oven at 200 °C for 2 h, the welded sample strip can lift a weight (500 g) more than 200 times its own weight. Under the same experiment, the biomass self-curing epoxy resin prepared by CN2023101626543 did not achieve welding after 2 h.

[0081] In this embodiment, an experimental clamp is used to provide external force. In actual production or application, other methods that can make two resin strips fit can also be used, which is a conventional technique.

[0082] The degradability test of the above-mentioned biomass recyclable shape memory epoxy resin is as Figure 13 shown. Place a small piece of resin (weight 0.1 g) in a 1 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution at 90 °C, and the resin can be completely degraded after 2 h. Under the same experiment, the biomass self-curing epoxy resin prepared by CN2023101626543 did not degrade after 2 h.

[0083]
