Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a heat-resistant high-strength and high-toughness modified vinyl ester resin system, belonging to the field of thermosetting resin materials. Background Art

[0002] Vinyl ester resin is a compound containing multiple unsaturated double bonds, formed by the reaction of an unsaturated acid (such as methyl methacrylate and acrylic acid) with an oligomer with active sites (such as epoxy resin) in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. This compound is mixed with a reactive diluent such as styrene or methacrylate to form a liquid resin. Also known as vinyl resin, it is a recognized corrosion-resistant resin. Vinyl ester resin is a thermosetting resin that combines the chemical resistance, excellent mechanical properties, and heat resistance of epoxy resin with the rapid curing characteristics of unsaturated polyester resin. It exhibits excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, fatigue resistance, and mechanical properties. Its low viscosity makes it easy to process, and it wets well with reinforcing materials. It can be cured at room temperature or by heating. It is used to make fiber-reinforced composites and is widely used in the chemical, transportation, aerospace, marine, construction, and electronics industries. However, conventional vinyl ester resins currently suffer from inherent drawbacks such as low strength and brittleness, as well as poor high-temperature resistance.

[0003] As the application areas gradually expand, especially in many anti-corrosion projects, materials are often required to be able to operate normally at higher temperatures and have higher mechanical properties. This places higher demands on the strength, toughness and heat resistance of the composite matrix resin.

[0004] In terms of toughening vinyl ester resins, the most common methods are to add rubber as a second phase to the resin system for toughening (patent application 202011580204.9) and polyurethane toughened modified vinyl ester resin (patent application 201911206917.6). However, the introduction of nitrile rubber segments, although it will significantly improve the toughness of the resin, will reduce the strength and heat resistance of the material. When polyurethane grafting is used for toughening, multifunctional isocyanates react with hydroxyl groups in the vinyl ester resin during the reaction process, the viscosity of the system increases rapidly, the reaction is difficult to control, and the risk of gelation is extremely high, which is not conducive to the processing of resin-based composite materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vinyl ester resin toughening method that can simultaneously improve heat resistance and strength and has good processability.

[0005] Propargyl terminated resin (PTR) is a high performance resin with aromatic groups in the main chain and propargyl ether at the end. g) can generally exceed 300°C and has excellent thermal stability in air and nitrogen. Furthermore, PTR has the advantages of easy synthesis, relatively low cost, low moisture absorption, low dielectric constant, and excellent adhesion, making it suitable for the manufacture of advanced resin-based composites. In addition to being used as a single resin system, PTR is more commonly used as a modifier, heat-resistantly modifying other resin systems to form high-performance resin systems. Ge et al. (Reactive and Functional Polymers. 2023, 186: 105570.) synthesized a novel bio-based allyl compound with an aromatic propargyl ether group using honokiol as a raw material, with the structure shown in formula (a). This compound was then copolymerized with 4,4'-bismaleimide diphenylmethane (BDM) to develop a novel high-performance bio-based resin. Compound (a) contains two allyl and two propargyl groups in its molecule, with the goal of forming a complex and dense cross-linked network after copolymerization with BDM, thereby improving the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the bismaleimide resin system. Studies have shown that this blended resin has higher thermal and mechanical properties than other bio-based allyl compound modified BDM. After curing, the resin has a glass transition temperature higher than 440°C, a storage modulus greater than 1.3GPa, a thermal decomposition temperature of approximately 448°C, and a flexural strength range of 106-117MPa.

[0006]

[0007] The above-mentioned method of modifying resins using compounds containing dipropargyl ether and diallyl groups is simple and effective, but the high cost of honokiol as a raw material hinders further application. The synthesis of compounds containing dipropargyl ether and tetrafunctional diallyl groups needs to be cost-effective, and they have not yet been applied to the modification of vinyl ester resins. Summary of the Invention

[0036] In order to more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution and advantages of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through examples. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention and are only used for illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] The diallyl bisphenol A dipropargyl ether in the examples of the present invention is a tetrafunctional compound containing a dipropargyl group and a diallyl group. Its synthesis is different from the method reported in the literature (Reactive and Functional Polymers.2023,186:105570.). It is prepared by reacting allyl bisphenol A (DABPA) with a propargyl halide in an aqueous phase system via phase transfer catalysis. It does not use a large amount of organic solvents and is environmentally friendly. The propargyl halide is propargyl bromide or propargyl chloride, and the phase transfer catalyst is tetrabutylammonium bromide or benzyltriethylammonium chloride.

[0038] In the present invention, diallyl bisphenol A dipropargyl ether (BAPPP) was synthesized according to the above method. Specifically, 30.84 g (0.1 mol) of DABPA, 6.45 g (0.02 mol) of tetrabutylammonium bromide, 20 g of NaOH (0.5 mol), and 200 mL of deionized water were added sequentially to a 500 mL four-necked flask. The DABPA was completely dissolved at room temperature by vigorous mechanical stirring. 26.17 g (0.22 mol) of 3-bromopropyne was dissolved in toluene and added dropwise to the system over 30 minutes. The reaction was then continued at 80°C overnight. After the reaction was completed, the upper oil phase was separated and washed with alkaline water until neutral. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and then the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The residual volatiles were then dried in a vacuum oven at 100°C for 1 hour to obtain 33.72 g of a dark yellow liquid product with a yield of 87.2%.

[0039] The above product BAPPP hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer ( 1 H NMR was performed using a Bruker AVANCE III 400 superconducting Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer with an operating frequency of 400 MHz, deuterated DMSO as the solvent, and TMS as the internal standard.

[0042] Other reagents used in the examples of the present invention were purchased from commercially available chemically pure reagents and used directly without further treatment.

[0043] The step-wise temperature rise program for thermal curing of the modified vinyl ester resin in the examples of the present invention is determined based on the curing exothermic curve of the modified resin after blending obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The specific curing process is related to the mass fraction of the raw materials used in the resin.

[0071] Table 1 Performance results of the cured modified vinyl ester resins of Examples 1-4 and the cured vinyl ester resin of Comparative Example 1.

[0072]

[0073] As can be seen from Table 1, the modified vinyl ester resins of Examples 1-4 have better bending properties and higher thermal stability than the unmodified vinyl ester resin, and have excellent comprehensive performance, and in particular, the impact strength of the modified resins is higher than that of the unmodified resin of Comparative Example 1, which indicates that BPAPP has the effect of toughening the vinyl ester resin.

An appropriate amount of the adhesive was evenly applied to each layer of T300 carbon cloth (200mm×150mm) over 30 minutes. Twelve layers of carbon cloth were stacked one on top of the other and placed in a metal mold.

After hot pressing, the composite panels were cut into the required test dimensions according to standard standards.

[0078] The mechanical property test results of the T300 carbon fiber reinforced modified vinyl ester resin composite material obtained in Example 5 are shown in Table 2.

[0079] Comparative Example 2

An appropriate amount of adhesive is evenly applied to each layer of T300 carbon cloth (200mm x 150mm) over 30 minutes. Twelve layers of carbon cloth are stacked one on top of the other and placed in a metal mold. At 3MPa, a heating program of 60°C / 1h, 80°C / 1h, and 120°C / 1h is used to produce a T300 carbon fiber reinforced vinyl ester resin composite (T300CF / VER). After hot pressing, the composite panels are cut into the required test dimensions according to standards.
