AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for preparing amination carboranes have safety concerns, low efficiency, and are not suitable for large-scale production. As a result, research on the performance of modified resins has focused on heat resistance, while research on mechanical properties and glass transition temperature is lacking, and the modification process is complex.
Amine-functionalized carborane was prepared by reacting a decborane-acetonitrile complex with alkyne-containing and halogen compounds, purifying it by solvent extraction, and then reacting it with amine compounds and bases to remove the Boc protecting group. This carborane was then used to modify epoxy resins.
This method enables efficient and convenient large-scale preparation of amino-functionalized carboranes, significantly improving the heat resistance, mechanical properties, and glass transition temperature of epoxy resins, making them suitable for aerospace equipment and nuclear reactor protective layers.
