Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cyanate resins, and particularly relates to bisphenol E cyanate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cyanate Ester (CE) resin is one of the key and hot spots in the current research field of resin-based composite materials. Cyanate ester resin monomers contain two or more cyanate functional groups (-OCN), and form highly cross-linked triazine cyclized polymers after curing reaction. The unique relationship between the chemical properties of the monomers and the structure / performance of the cured resin gives CE resins excellent comprehensive properties, showing the advantages of excellent mechanical properties, high heat resistance, and low water absorption. It has broad application prospects in many fields such as aerospace, automobiles, electronics, and military industry.

[0003] However, due to the high crosslinking density of cyanate resin monomer after polymerization, the highly symmetrical triazine ring structure in the molecule, and the high crystallinity, cyanate is relatively brittle, and in many applications, its fracture toughness is still insufficient, which seriously affects the promotion and application of cyanate resin. In order to improve the mechanical properties of cyanate resin materials, the method of adding inorganic fillers in the material is often adopted to enhance the mechanical properties of cyanate resin, which can improve its mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, strength, toughness, wear resistance, creep resistance and fatigue resistance. However, the compatibility and dispersibility of inorganic fillers with cyanate are poor, and the dispersing effect in cyanate resin is not ideal, and agglomeration phenomenon or even precipitation may occur easily during the curing process; simultaneously, when the amount of inorganic fillers added is too large, the heat resistance of the system will be greatly reduced, which greatly limits the application of cyanate resin nanocomposite materials. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a bisphenol E cyanate ester and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problem that the toughness of the cyanate ester resin is poor.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing bisphenol E cyanate, comprising the following preparation steps:

[0007] Step 1, weighing by weight, heating and stirring bisphenol E cyanate resin monomer and thermoplastic polymer until they become liquid, adding modified halloysite nanotubes, stirring at 100-120° C. for 35-50 minutes, and obtaining a mixed solution;

[0008] Step 2, adding the catalyst to the mixed solution obtained above, stirring at 100-120° C. to obtain a mixture;

[0009] Step 3: The mixture is evacuated at 120-125° C. for 20-30 min, and then heated for polymerization reaction to obtain bisphenol E cyanate.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, the modified halloysite nanotubes are prepared by the following steps:

[0011] The epoxy resin and halloysite nanotubes are added to an acetone solution, stirred to obtain a mixed solution, vacuumed at room temperature for 10-12 minutes, then added to an aqueous sodium dodecyl sulfate solution and stirred for 2-2.5 hours to obtain a suspension, which is filtered, washed and freeze-dried to obtain modified halloysite nanotubes.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the usage ratio of epoxy resin, halloysite nanotubes, acetone solution and sodium dodecyl sulfate aqueous solution is 1-1.25 g: 0.2-0.25 g: 200 mL: 500 mL.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention, the diameter of the halloysite nanotube is 50-100 nm and the length is 500-1000 nm.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the heating polymerization reaction in step 3 is 140-150°C.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention, in the preparation method, the weight ratio of bisphenol E cyanate resin monomer, thermoplastic polymer, modified halloysite nanotubes and catalyst is 80-90 parts: 0.5-2 parts: 3-8 parts: 0.05-0.2 parts.

[0016] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the thermoplastic polymer is one of polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate and polystyrene.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the catalyst is one of zinc acetylacetonate, copper acetylacetonate and stannous octoate.

[0018] The second aspect of the present invention provides bisphenol E cyanate obtained by the preparation method described in the first aspect.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0020] The bisphenol E cyanate resin prepared in the present invention is prepared from a bisphenol E cyanate resin monomer, a thermoplastic polymer, a modified halloysite nanotube and a catalyst. The halloysite nanotube with a multi-layer structure is added to the bisphenol E cyanate resin, which can effectively improve the toughness of the bisphenol E cyanate material, enhance its mechanical properties, and further enhance the safety performance of the bisphenol E cyanate resin material during use, extend its service life, and further expand the application field of the bisphenol E cyanate resin material. At the same time, the preparation method of the bisphenol E cyanate provided in the present invention has a simple process flow, economical cost, and is suitable for large-scale production.

[0021] The modified halloysite nanotubes in the present invention are prepared by filling the halloysite nanotubes with epoxy resin. On the one hand, the epoxy resin is infiltrated into the halloysite nanotubes with a multi-layer structure, which effectively increases the strength and compatibility of the halloysite nanotubes and the dispersibility in the bisphenol E cyanate resin composite material without destroying the structure of the halloysite nanotubes. At the same time, the fracture absorption energy of the halloysite nanotubes filled with epoxy resin is high, and after being mixed with materials such as bisphenol E cyanate resin, the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the bisphenol E cyanate resin system can be effectively improved.
