Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of shape memory materials, and relates to a repairable, recyclable and reworkable TEP / TEP-PEG bidirectional response shape memory composite film with thermoplastic epoxy resin (TEP) as a passive layer and TEP / polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an active layer and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Epoxy resin is a high-performance polymer material containing epoxy groups, which is generally a low-viscosity liquid before hardening and can be hardened and shaped through ring-opening reaction of epoxy groups. Common epoxy resins are mostly thermosetting materials with cross-linked structures, which have high mechanical strength, high durability, good high-temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and can be widely applied to structural parts, coatings and adhesives, etc. The low-viscosity state of epoxy resin before hardening makes it easy to process and shape, and can meet the requirements of various complex shapes and sizes, and is often used as a matrix of composite systems in the field of composite materials.

[0003] Although epoxy resin itself has many advantages, its thermosetting property makes it prone to loss under high temperature conditions, and it also has the disadvantages of low recycling rate, poor reworkability and environmental pollution, which greatly limits its application. Compared with thermosetting resin materials, thermoplastic resin has the advantages of recyclability, superior processing performance, strong plasticity and solubility, etc., making it more competitive in some more environmentally friendly application fields. As an emerging functional polymer material, TEP has the advantages of plasticity and multiple processing, which makes it have advantages in meeting the individualized needs of products. However, most of the reported epoxy resins are thermosetting, and there are few reports on TEP, and its performance research and application development need to be carried out.

[0004] Epoxy resin before hardening is usually in a low molecular state, which is beneficial to its modification by melt dispersion and solvent dispersion. In recent years, dispersing organic and inorganic modifiers in the liquid matrix of epoxy resin before hardening has become an effective way to modify epoxy resin. As an important plasticizer, PEG is often used to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of polymers. The compatibility of PEG with polymers is an important factor affecting the uniformity of the composite system. It is worth noting that PEG has good compatibility with many polymers and is relatively low in cost. It has been reported that by adding PEG in epoxy resin before cross-linking and then using the curing of epoxy resin, a stable epoxy resin-plasticizer composite system can be formed, which can achieve the effect of plasticizing thermosetting epoxy resin.

[0005] As a kind of smart materials, shape memory materials can dynamically switch between original shape and temporary shape through external stimuli such as temperature, light, electricity and humidity, and can perform specific functions during shape switching, playing a role in medical devices, intelligent structures, electronic devices and other fields. Among them, shape memory epoxy resin has become a material of great attention in the fields of medical devices, intelligent structure manufacturing, aerospace and self-repairing due to its excellent mechanical properties, adhesion, heat resistance and chemical resistance. It is reported that by controlling and adjusting the shape memory effect of epoxy resin, highly controllable shape change function can be achieved, and shape memory effect occurs within a specific temperature range. Because shape memory epoxy resin is mostly thermosetting, its three-dimensional network molecular chain structure has low deformation ability, which has the disadvantage of irreversibility, which to some extent limits its application range. Unlike thermosetting shape memory polymers, thermoplastic shape memory polymers have higher deformation rate and faster recovery speed due to their linear molecular chain structure, which makes thermoplastic shape memory polymers have wide application potential in many fields. Therefore, research on shape memory TEP needs to be carried out, especially in more environmentally friendly fields.

[0006] Although shape memory polymers show great application potential, the development of high-performance bidirectional response shape polymers and their multifunctionalization are still research difficulties. Traditional unidirectional shape polymers cannot recover their temporary shape after completely recovering their original shape. Compared with traditional unidirectional shape polymers, bidirectional shape polymers not only can recover from temporary shape to original shape, but also can deform from original shape to temporary shape under non-mechanical stimuli such as temperature, light and humidity. In recent years, due to the intelligent switching between original shape and temporary shape, bidirectional shape polymers have shown considerable application prospects in artificial intelligence, bionics and medical fields. Compared with traditional unidirectional shape polymers, bidirectional shape memory polymers require more stringent stimulation conditions. In terms of temperature stimulation of bidirectional shape memory polymers, the original shape and temporary shape of bidirectional shape polymers are generally regulated by heating and cooling, but the research on shape switching of bidirectional shape polymers during continuous heating process is rarely reported. SUMMARY

[0056] The preparation process of the TEP-PEG film of the present application is shown in Figure 1 In the initial state of the TEP-PEG film, the shape of the TEP-PEG film is changed by heating and folding, and then the TEP-PEG film is quickly cooled to fix the temporary shape. The one-way shape memory function of the TEP-PEG film in the temporary shape is investigated by increasing the temperature. When the temperature is increased to the T g g of the TEP-PEG film, the TEP-PEG film macroscopically exhibits shape recovery, i.e., returns to the initial state, due to the induction of the internal stress generated in the previous thermal deformation and the internal molecular thermal motion of the TEP-PEG film. Figure 2 The one-way shape memory process of the TEP-PEG30 film is shown. In addition, the present application also shows the one-way shape memory mechanism of the TEP-PEG30 film in the stretching mode Figure 3 ) and the one-way shape memory test curve Figure 4 ).

[0057] Based on the shape memory research of monolayer TEP-PEG films, this invention combines a preheated, stretched, and shaped TEP-PEG film with a TEP film using a lamination technique to obtain a TEP / TEP-PEG bilayer composite film. Figure 5 The specific process is as follows: First, the TEP-PEG membrane is cut into strips of uniform size, and then... g Preheating and stretching were performed in a temperature atmosphere of approximately 25%; after pre-stretching, the material was quickly placed in a T... g The shape is fixed below the temperature. After being fixed into a temporary shape, THF is applied to the surface of a TEP membrane of the same size by dot coating. Then, the temporary TEP-PEG membrane and the TEP membrane are laminated together. Finally, a 2.4 kg metal plate is pressed for a certain period of time to obtain a T / TP double-layer composite membrane.

[0058] The bidirectional shape memory function of the TEP / TEP-PEG composite film was investigated during a continuous heating process within the range of 25℃-45℃. As the temperature gradually increased to the T0 of the active layer (TEP-PEG), the bidirectional shape memory function was further investigated. g During the initial heating and stretching process, the active layer tends to shrink in the opposite direction of the initial heating and stretching due to internal molecular thermal motion and the internal stress generated during the previous heating and stretching. This causes the TEP / TEP-PEG bilayer composite film to bend towards the active layer under the combined effect of the active layer's shrinkage and the passive layer's (TEP) restraint. As the temperature continues to rise, the storage modulus of the active layer decreases significantly due to the increasingly intense internal molecular thermal motion. This causes the passive layer, with its significantly higher storage modulus, to change from passive bending to active recovery. Ultimately, the TEP / TEP-PEG composite film exhibits shape recovery on a macroscopic scale, meaning it returns to its initial shape. At this point, rapid cooling is used to fix the shape of the TEP / TEP-PEG composite film. To initiate the next cycle of bidirectional shape memory response, simply repeat the above steps. Figure 6 The developed T / TP composite membrane exhibited excellent bidirectional shape memory function during a single heating process. Temperature-storage modulus curves and temperature-T values ​​for the active and passive layers are shown. g Curves and temperature-loss modulus curves, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. Figure 9 The TEP / TEP-PEG30 membrane exhibits a bidirectional responsive shape memory process. As the temperature rises, when it reaches approximately 30°C, the TEP / TEP-PEG composite membrane gradually becomes flexed, and there is no significant change during the temperature rise from 30°C to 35°C. With continued heating, when the temperature reaches approximately 40°C, the TEP / TEP-PEG composite membrane gradually recovers from its flexed state, returning to its initial shape during the temperature rise from 40°C to 45°C.

[0059] The bending angle and recovery angle of the material in the experiment process are measured and counted, the bending angle and time, the recovery angle and time of the TEP / TEP-PEG composite film in the temperature increasing process in the range of 25-45 DEG C are as follows Figure 10 and shown in Table 1.

[0061]

[0062] The materials selected by the present application are all thermoplastic, having the advantages of melt recovery and reprocessing. Figure 11 The investigation process of the TEP / TEP-PEG composite film active layer (TEP-PEG) repair and recovery-reprocessing is shown, the TEP-PEG film shows the repairable function in the temperature atmosphere of 45 DEG C, and shows the melt recovery and reprocessing function in the temperature atmosphere of 90 DEG C. Figure 12 The electron microscope photos of the wound part of the TEP-PEG film after repair are shown, wherein the wound part of the TEP-PEG film shows larger healing effect after repair under the temperature condition of 45 DEG C.

[0063] The present application utilizes the thermoplasticity of TEP and the regulating effect of PEG on the thermal performance of TEP, and develops the TEP / TEP-PEG bidirectional response shape memory composite film which is repairable, recyclable-reprocessable and temperature-stimulable through three technologies of PEG melt dispersion technology, in-situ polymerization technology and lamination technology. Through the structure design, the TEP / TEP-PEG composite film can show the bidirectional shape memory response function in the temperature increasing process, and shows the considerable application prospect due to its light weight, low cost, repairability and recyclable-reprocessability, especially in the fields of flexible actuators, intelligent unit structures and intelligent structural parts.
