Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of polymer technology, and specifically relates to a solid epoxy vinyl ester resin composition and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Carbon fiber prepreg has the advantages of low resin content, light weight and high strength, and is widely used in aviation, aerospace, rail transportation and other fields. Carbon fiber prepreg is mostly an epoxy resin system, which contains ester bonds in the molecular structure and has poor long-term resistance to seawater and salt spray, which limits its application in marine vessels.

[0003] Epoxy vinyl ester resin is prepared by reacting epoxy resin with monocarboxylic acid, and the reaction product is dissolved in a cross-linking monomer, which retains the advantages of high mechanical properties and good fatigue performance of epoxy resin. Epoxy vinyl ester resin introduces methyl protection near the ester bond to improve the seawater and salt spray resistance through steric hindrance. However, epoxy vinyl ester resin has the disadvantages of high shrinkage and poor interface performance with carbon fiber. The main reason is that the unsaturated double bond (-C=C-) in the resin molecular structure becomes an unsaturated single bond (-CC-) during the curing process, which causes the resin to shrink. The volume shrinkage rate of epoxy vinyl ester resin is 6-8%, and epoxy vinyl ester resin contains prepolymers, cross-linking monomers, etc. The cross-linking monomer is usually an ester monomer or styrene, which is volatile and not suitable for prepreg systems. In addition, epoxy vinyl ester resin uses free radical curing, lacks amino groups compared to epoxy resin systems, and has poor interface performance with carbon fiber. Although epoxy vinyl ester resin-based carbon fiber composites have excellent seawater and salt spray resistance, they cannot give full play to the advantages of light weight and high strength of carbon fiber prepregs.

[0004] Carbon fiber prepreg is prepared by preparing resin film under high temperature conditions, hot pressing resin film and fiber, etc. Epoxy vinyl ester resin contains cross-linking monomers such as styrene, which are easy to volatilize under high temperature conditions, and the unsaturated double bonds are cross-linked and cured under high temperature conditions, which cannot meet the prepreg molding process. The cross-linking monomers in epoxy vinyl ester resin are easily expanded by heat, and the void ratio of the prepared carbon fiber prepreg reaches 3-5% after curing, which reduces the mechanical properties of carbon fiber composite materials. Summary of the invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a solid epoxy vinyl ester resin composition for carbon fiber prepreg that does not contain a cross-linking monomer and has low shrinkage, low exothermic peak and long storage period, as well as a preparation method and application thereof.

[0069] (1) The unsaturated double bond content of conventional epoxy vinyl ester resin is 0.50-0.80 mol / 100 g, while the unsaturated double bond content of the epoxy vinyl ester resin prepared by the present invention is 0.15-0.40 mol / 100 g, and the unsaturated double bond ratio is more than 20% lower, which is beneficial to increase the resin storage period and reduce the shrinkage rate. The formula contains an initiator, which can release free radicals during storage to initiate the cross-linking and curing of unsaturated double bonds, reduce the unsaturated double bond ratio, reduce the resin activity, and increase the resin storage period; reduce the unsaturated double bond ratio, reduce the heat release, reduce the stress concentration phenomenon during the molding process, and the product has good dimensional stability, which is suitable for molding large-sized composite parts.

[0070] (2) Compared with conventional epoxy vinyl ester resins, bisphenol A epoxy vinyl ester resins are combined with polyether polyol glycidyl ether acrylate to reduce the viscosity of the system, so there is no need to use a cross-linking monomer, the product does not contain a cross-linking monomer, and the void ratio is low. Styrene and low-flash point acrylate cross-linking monomers expand and volatilize when heated, which easily produces voids. The void ratio has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the composite material, and the present invention does not contain such a cross-linking monomer.

[0071] (3) The product has low shrinkage and good interface performance. The volume shrinkage of conventional epoxy vinyl ester resin is 6-8%, while the volume shrinkage of the epoxy vinyl ester resin prepared by the present invention is 2-4%. On the one hand, the proportion of unsaturated double bonds in the formula is low, and the shrinkage is low; on the other hand, hyperbranched polymers are embedded in the molecular structure, and the hyperbranched polymers further reduce the shrinkage of the system. The surface of the hyperbranched polymer contains polar groups such as hydroxyl groups, which improves the interface performance between the resin and the fiber.

[0072] (4) The ester group in the product molecular structure is protected by a methyl group, which plays a steric hindrance role. The retention rate of the flexural strength after boiling water reaches more than 92%, which is suitable for the preparation of carbon fiber composite materials for marine ships.

[0073] (5) It is solid at room temperature and easy to store. The formula contains a thermal initiator and can be used after heating when preparing carbon fiber prepreg. No batching operation is required. It is easy to use and highly efficient.

[0074] (6) During the preparation process, no three wastes are generated, which is environmentally friendly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
