Detailed Implementation

[0035] This application provides a modified epoxy resin with improved thermal stability, its preparation method, and its application, to solve the technical problem of low thermal stability of epoxy resins in the prior art.

[0036] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Given the poor thermal stability of current epoxy resins, Example 1 of this application provides a modified epoxy resin with improved thermal stability. The modified epoxy resin comprises an epoxy resin matrix, curing agents, accelerators, and other epoxy resin curing components, as well as alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles as modified nanocomposite particles. Specifically, after the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles are incorporated into the epoxy resin matrix, they form alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn...). 57 Bi 43 The good compatibility between alumina and epoxy resin leads to strong interaction between the two, forming a good interfacial effect. The tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) supported on alumina exhibit good interfacial properties. 57 Bi 43 The tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) can interact with epoxy resin molecules to form hydrogen bonds, chemical bonds, or van der Waals forces. This significantly increases the energy required for the epoxy resin molecular chains to break during heating. On the other hand, alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) 57 Bi 43The thermal conductivity of tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) is greater than that of epoxy resin. When used as a thermal conduction pathway, it can effectively dissipate heat, thereby increasing the thermal decomposition temperature of the material and enhancing the thermal stability of the epoxy resin. Therefore, the thermal stability-modified epoxy resin provided in this application improves the thermal stability of the epoxy resin by having alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles interact with the epoxy resin on one hand and act as a thermal conduction pathway on the other. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy images show that the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) exhibit... 57 Bi 43 As nanoparticles, they can also be dispersed in the epoxy resin matrix, reducing the concentration of energy and consuming some energy when subjected to external impact. The modified epoxy resin is not easy to break, and the mechanical properties such as toughness of the epoxy resin are improved, thereby solving the defect of poor thermal stability of the epoxy resin provided in this application.

[0039] Preferably, for the thermally stable modified epoxy resin, the doping amount of alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles can be selected to be no more than 20 wt%; more preferably, the doping amount is no more than 7 wt%. When the doping amount of alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles is greater than 7 wt%, due to the high content of alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles, the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles will agglomerate, which will destroy the relatively ordered structure of the epoxy resin, increase the proportion of amorphous structure in the material, reduce the orderliness of the original material structure, and lead to a decrease in the thermal decomposition temperature of the material. However, after doping with alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles, the thermal decomposition temperature of the thermally stable modified epoxy resin will be higher than that of pure epoxy resin.

[0040] Preferably, in the modified epoxy resin with improved thermal stability, the content of each component in the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles depends on the amount of raw materials added during the preparation process. In this application, 8 to 12 moles of alumina nanoparticles are selected and supported with 1 to 2 moles of tin-bismuth alloy. In the tin-bismuth alloy, the molar ratio of tin atoms to bismuth atoms is 7 to 11: 5 to 9.

[0044] The steps for modifying epoxy resin using alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles include: uniformly mixing 100g of bisphenol A type epoxy resin EPIKOTE828L (epoxy equivalent EEW = 184g / eg, viscosity 1500-3000mPa·s (25℃), Guangzhou Taoyuan Trading Co., Ltd.), 10g of curing agent polyamide 650 (active hydrogen equivalent 156g / eg, Hubei Wuhan Hanhai Synthetic Resin Development Co., Ltd.), and 5g of accelerator 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol DMP-30 (Hangzhou Molott Chemical Technology Co., Ltd.) in a beaker at room temperature (25℃), and then adding 1.2g (doping amount approximately 1wt%) of alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn). 57 Bi 43 After stirring evenly, the mixture is allowed to stand and cure to obtain a modified epoxy resin with good thermal stability.

[0057] Experimental Example 1

[0058] Experimental Example 1 of this application tests the performance of the epoxy resins provided in Examples 2-8. Specifically, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to analyze the epoxy resins provided in Examples 2-7, and DSC was used to analyze the epoxy resins provided in Examples 2 and 8 at different temperatures. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) used for the DSC sample consisted of approximately 10g of cured epoxy resin. The samples were tested using a Perkin Elmer N5350030 Diamond TGA thermal analyzer. The samples were placed in an alumina crucible of the analyzer under nitrogen protection. The temperature range for the sample testing was 150℃-600℃, the flow rate was 40mL / min, and the heating rate was 10℃ / min.

[0059] The results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of the epoxy resins provided in Examples 2-7 are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Table 1.

[0060] Content (wt%) Initial thermal decomposition temperature (°C) 0 307.63 1 407.13 3 406.75 5 405.59 7 408.07 10 406.17

[0061] Table 1

[0062] from Figure 1 It can be seen that, compared with the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) provided in Example 7, 57 Bi 43 Compared to epoxy resin with a doping content of 0 wt% having a thermal decomposition temperature of 300 °C, the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) provided in Examples 2-6 of this application have a thermal decomposition temperature of 300 °C. 57 Bi 43 The thermal decomposition temperature of epoxy resin with a doping amount of 1-10 wt% is around 400℃, which indicates that the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) provided in this application have a thermal decomposition temperature of around 400℃. 57 Bi 43 This can improve the thermal stability of epoxy resins; further refer to Table 1, as shown in Table 1, the tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn supported on alumina) can improve the thermal stability of epoxy resins; 57 Bi 43 When the doping concentration is in the range of 1–7 wt%, the thermal stability of epoxy resin shows a wave-like upward trend, while when the doping concentration is in the range of 1–7 wt%, the thermal stability of epoxy resin increases. 57 Bi 43 The thermal stability decreased after the doping amount reached 10 wt%, which may be due to the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn). 57 Bi 43 When the content is high, the tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles supported by alumina agglomerate, which destroys the relatively ordered structure of the epoxy resin, increases the proportion of amorphous structure in the material, reduces the orderliness of the original material structure, and leads to a decrease in the thermal decomposition temperature of the material. In summary, the epoxy resin modified by alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles provided in this application can be used in the packaging of electronic components and electrical equipment in the temperature range not exceeding 400°C.

[0063] Furthermore, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the epoxy resin provided in Examples 2-7 are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 3 As can be seen from Example 7, the epoxy resin and alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) provided in Example 7 57 Bi 43 The doping concentration is 0 wt%, and its fracture surface is relatively smooth and flat, without other impurities. The fracture lines are relatively neat, which is a typical characteristic of brittle fracture. Figure 3 As can be seen from bc, the tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) supported on alumina 57 Bi 43 When the doping amount is 1 wt%, the tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) supported on alumina 57 Bi 43 The alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) are uniformly dispersed. 57 Bi 43 When the doping concentration is 3 wt%, a small amount of aggregates appear, but they are uniformly dispersed, and the two-phase interface is well bonded, which corresponds to the thermal stability test data; at the same time, from Figure 3 c also shows that Al2O3-Sn is found at the tip of the material fracture. 57 Bi 43 The particles, shaped like ripples created when water encounters pebbles on a shallow beach, aptly illustrate the mechanism by which nanoparticles reinforce and toughen epoxy. Therefore, the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) provided in this application... 57 Bi 43 Doping can also improve the toughness and other mechanical properties of epoxy resin to a certain extent.

Its cross-sectional morphology is similar to... Figure 3 c; from Figure 3 As can be seen from e, the tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) supported on alumina 57 Bi 43 When the doping amount is 7wt%, with Figure 3 Compared to d, a large amount of Al2O3-Sn was found in the epoxy matrix. 57 Bi 43 Particle aggregates, occasionally with voids, disrupt the integrity of the epoxy resin matrix, reduce the continuity of the material, and lead to a decrease in the toughness of the composite material. Figure 3 f shows that the alumina-supported tin-bismuth alloy nanoparticles (Al2O3-Sn) 57 Bi 43 When the doping amount is 10wt%, compared with the scan Figure 3 Compared to ae, Figure 3 Numerous bumps and depressions appeared in f, resembling small hills and basins. Large aggregated particles appeared in the epoxy matrix, and the uniformly dispersed Al2O3-Sn was no longer visible. 57 Bi 43 The continuity and integrity of the resin matrix are severely damaged, the interfacial bonding between the two phases decreases, the performance of the material is reduced, and the epoxy resin exhibits a decline in mechanical properties such as thermal stability and toughness.

[0065] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis was performed on the epoxy resins provided in Examples 2 and 8 at different temperatures. Apparent activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and reaction order are important guiding parameters for determining curing process parameters and selecting curing schemes. There are multiple ways to solve for the apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the curing reaction; among them, the Kissinger method is a commonly used method for solving the apparent activation energy. It has a good linear relationship with 1 / Tp.

[0068] DSC tests were conducted at different temperatures, and linear fitting was performed on the peak temperature of the curing reaction and the peak temperature of the melting reaction. The apparent activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and reaction order can be obtained from the slope and intercept of the fitted line. Based on this, non-isothermal DSC tests were performed on the epoxy resins provided in Examples 2 and 8, respectively. The test parameters were set at heating temperatures of 50℃, 100℃, 150℃, 200℃, 250℃, and 300℃.
