Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ultraviolet light-cured 3D printing materials, more specifically, it relates to a hyperbranched resin capable of dual curing by light and heat, a synthesis method thereof, and an ultraviolet light-cured resin composition for 3D printing. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of manufacturing industry, especially in the fields of product rapid prototyping, small-batch customized production and complex structure manufacturing, 3D printing technology gradually stands out with its unique flexibility and high efficiency. Among them, the 3D printing technology based on resin materials shows great potential in injection mold manufacturing, and becomes an effective supplement to metal molds in specific application scenarios. Resin molds not only can effectively reduce production cost and shorten product development cycle, but also can quickly verify the feasibility and manufacturability of product design in the trial production stage, providing valuable data support for subsequent batch production.

[0003] However, the current 3D printing resin materials for injection mold on the market still face many challenges in performance and application, which are specifically reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. Brittleness problem: Although the existing high-temperature-resistant 3D printing mold resin can maintain good stability at high temperatures, i.e., it has a high heat distortion temperature and rigidity, the brittleness of the material itself limits its application range. In actual use, the mold is prone to cracking, breaking and other phenomena due to external impact or internal stress concentration, which not only affects the service life of the mold, but also increases the risk and cost in the production process.

[0005] 2. Volume shrinkage and deformation problem: Resin materials often accompany significant volume shrinkage during the curing process, especially when printing large or regular-shaped models. This volume change may cause the model to bend and deform, seriously affecting the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the model. In addition, the large volume change also makes it difficult to directly apply the printed model to the injection molding machine, limiting its direct application in industrial production.

[0006] 3. Material stability and storage problem: In order to improve the heat distortion temperature, a large amount of solid multifunctional resin with rigid rings is usually added in the existing technology. However, this type of resin has high viscosity, although it can effectively improve the heat resistance of the material, it also brings problems such as increased viscosity and poor storage stability. For example, high-viscosity resin is prone to solid precipitation during storage, especially in low-temperature environments, the entire formulation may become completely solid, which brings great inconvenience to use and also affects the performance stability of the printed model.

[0007] Therefore, the existing 3D printing injection mold resin material has problems in brittleness, volume shrinkage and deformation, material stability and storage, which seriously restricts its wide application in high-precision and high-demand 3D printing scenarios. Therefore, developing a kind of ultraviolet curing resin for 3D printing which has excellent heat resistance, rigidity and toughness, does not crack and break, and can effectively control the volume shrinkage and improve the storage stability of the material, is of great significance to promote the further development of 3D printing technology in the field of injection mold manufacturing. SUMMARY

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a kind of photothermal dual-cured hyperbranched resin for 3D printing and its synthesis method and ultraviolet curing resin composition.

[0009] In the first aspect, the present application provides a kind of synthesis method of photothermal dual-cured hyperbranched resin, adopts the following technical scheme:

[0010] A kind of synthesis method of photothermal dual-cured hyperbranched resin, comprising the following steps:

[0011] Step 1: the reaction kettle is heated to 55-60℃, the isocyanate, catalyst 1 is put into the reaction kettle, and is stirred uniformly;

[0012] The isocyanate at least contains a mixture of one or more of toluene diisocyanate, p-phenylene diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate;

[0013] Catalyst 1 at least contains a mixture of one or more of dibutyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate and organic bismuth;The amount of catalyst 1 is 0.05-0.3% of the mass of isocyanate;

[0014] Step 2: mix 2,2-dimethylol butyric acid and diluent uniformly, then add to the reaction kettle at a certain speed, after dropping, keep the temperature at 55-60℃, to obtain intermediate product A1;

[0015] The molar ratio of 2,2-dimethylol butyric acid to isocyanate is 1:2;

[0016] Step 3: put in catalyst 2, control the temperature at 65-70℃, and make the intermediate product A1 continue to react to obtain intermediate product A2;

[0017] Catalyst 2 at least includes a mixture of one or more of magnesium stearate, tributylphosphine and triethylenediamine;

[0018] The amount of catalyst 2 is 0.01-0.1% of the total mass of isocyanate and 2,2-dimethylol butyric acid;

[0019] Step 4: After cooling to 55-60℃, the tert-butyl amino ethyl methacrylate and the polymerization inhibitor are mixed uniformly, and then added to the reaction kettle at a certain speed. After the addition is completed, the reaction is kept at 55-60℃ until the isocyanate value is less than 0.5%, and the final product A3, i.e. the light-heat dual-curable hyperbranched resin, is obtained.

[0020] In this step, since the isocyanate is capped with tert-butyl amino ethyl methacrylate (TBAEMA) monomer, the isocyanate will be uncapped after heating, and the isocyanate can further crosslink with the polyol (thermal curing) as the temperature rises, so that the material has high rigidity and good toughness at the same time.

[0021] By adopting the technical scheme, the light-heat dual-curable hyperbranched resin synthesized by the application has the characteristics of low viscosity, high functionality and high activity, and has a highly branched three-dimensional structure, which has the potential to reduce volume shrinkage, thereby solving the problem of model bending deformation due to volume change when printing large or regular-shaped models, and further improving the overall accuracy of the printed model. On the other hand, the resin has the characteristics of light-heat dual-curing, which can be cured under ultraviolet light and can also be thermally cured, i.e. the terminal isocyanate can be uncapped at a certain temperature, and the isocyanate can further crosslink as the temperature rises, so that the crosslinking degree and molecular weight of the material will be greatly improved, so that the material has high rigidity and good toughness at the same time, thereby solving the problems of cracking, breaking and bending deformation of the model during printing and use. In addition, compared with the high-viscosity solid multi-functional resin with rigid rings used in the prior art, the light-heat dual-curable hyperbranched resin synthesized by the application has low viscosity, does not precipitate from the formula during storage, does not become a solid at low temperature, and has a high heat distortion temperature, thereby solving the problems of storage and stability.

[0033] The hyperbranched resin capable of dual curing by light and heat can be unblocked at the end isocyanate at a certain temperature, and the isocyanate and polyol react as the temperature rises, which greatly improves the crosslinking degree and molecular weight of the material, making the material have high rigidity, high heat distortion temperature, and certain toughness, and the model is not prone to cracking and breaking in actual application.

[0034] The use amount and matching relationship of the raw materials are limited, which can effectively improve the stability and mechanical properties of the obtained material during the curing process, ensure the dimensional accuracy and heat resistance of the 3D printing injection mold resin composition after molding, and reduce the deformation risk of the model during the printing process.

[0045] 3. The photo-thermal dual-curable hyperbranched resin has low viscosity, which improves the storage stability of the mold resin material, reduces the precipitation of solid multifunctional resin during storage, ensures the flowability of the material under low temperature conditions, and improves the performance stability and consistency of the printed model.

[0114] The specific components and amounts of the above Examples 1-5, Comparative Examples 1-4 are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0115] Table 1

[0116]

[0117] Table 2

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] Performance test The resin compositions prepared using Examples 1-5, Comparative Examples 1-4 were used to 3D print models, and the models were tested for performance. The performance data are shown in Table 3.

[0121] I. Related parameters and operations of the printed models are as follows:

[0122] 1. 3D printing equipment parameters: pull-up type 450 nm LCD 3D printer, light source intensity 5000 uw / cm 2 , slice layer thickness 0.05 mm, layer exposure time 4.5 s, bottom layer exposure time 60 s.

[0123] 2. Post-processing method of the printed model:

[0124] 1) Place the model in 95% alcohol and clean it using an ultrasonic cleaner for 3 min. Replace the clean alcohol and clean it again using an ultrasonic cleaner for 3 min.

[0125] 2) Place the model in the curing oven after setting the temperature of the ultraviolet curing oven to 50°C. Turn on the ultraviolet light of the curing oven and cure at a constant temperature for 30 min.

[0126] 3) Place the model in an oven at 120°C and heat cure for 120 min.

[0127] The related process diagram of Example 1 is shown in Figures 1-5 .

[0128] II. The reference standards for performance testing are as follows:

[0129] 1. Bending strength test method: GB / T 9341-2008 "Determination of the bending properties of plastics".

[0130] 2. Impact strength test method: GB / T 1843-2008 "Determination of the Izod impact strength of plastics".

[0131] 3. Volume shrinkage test method: shrinkage = (p after - p before) / p after x 100%, wherein p after and p before are the densities after curing and before curing, respectively.

[0132] Detection index explanation: toughness is reflected by the detection index of impact strength, and rigidity is reflected by the index of bending strength, that is, the higher the impact strength, the better the material toughness; the higher the bending strength, the better the material rigidity.

[0133] Table 3

[0134]

[0135] According to Table 3, the detection results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-4 show that:

[0136] 1. The ultraviolet light curing resin composition of Examples 1-5, because the isocyanate in the light-heat dual-curing hyperbranched resin synthesized in step one is capped with t-butyl aminoethyl methacrylate (TBAEMA) monomer, the isocyanate will be uncapped after heating, and as the temperature rises, the isocyanate and polyol will undergo crosslinking reaction (thermal curing), at this time the crosslinking degree and molecular weight of the material will greatly increase, thereby improving the toughness of the material while maintaining high rigidity.

[0137] In the synthesis reaction of the light-heat dual-curing hyperbranched resin in Comparative Example 1, the monomer hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) is used for capping, and HEA cannot uncaps the isocyanate under thermal curing. Therefore, despite the addition of polyol in the resin composition formula, it cannot achieve the relevant effect; on the contrary, because the polyol cannot participate in the reaction, the material performance tends to deteriorate.

[0138] According to the detection data in Table 3, the ultraviolet light curing resin composition of Examples 1-5 exhibits good performance with rigidity and toughness compared to Comparative Examples 1-4. The improvement in material toughness solves the problem of cracking and fragility of 3D printed models caused by excessive rigidity; at the same time, it also reduces the volume shrinkage, and the shrinkage of Examples 1-5 is reduced to below 3.6%.

[0139] 1. The difference between the resin composition of Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that Comparative Example 2 does not use polyol. Since no polyol is added to the composition, thermal curing cannot play a role, and therefore it is not possible to achieve toughening, and the material impact strength is low. Similarly, the same applies to Comparative Example 3 and Example 2, and Comparative Example 4 and Example 3.

[0140] The embodiments are only illustrative of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application, and those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without creative contribution after reading the specification, but as long as the modifications are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
