[0105] The benzene ring structure in bisphenol A and -C=C in acrylate are very likely to cause yellowing during UV curing, especially when the distance between the two is close, it is easy to form a π-π conjugation effect, and the yellowing is most obvious. The preparation method of the modified epoxy acrylate resin provided by the present invention firstly mixes acid anhydride, hydroxy acrylate, acrylic acid, epoxy resin, epichlorohydrin, catalyst, inhibitor, antioxidant and solvent, and heats to react to obtain acid anhydride modified epoxy acrylate; then the obtained acid anhydride modified epoxy acrylate, polyisocyanate or polyisocyanate prepolymer and catalyst are mixed and reacted, and then a solvent is added to dilute to obtain the modified epoxy acrylate resin. In the first step of the reaction, anhydride reacts with hydroxy acrylate to obtain acid, and the obtained acid and acrylic acid are reacted with a certain mass ratio of 128 epoxy resin and epichlorohydrin (1:0.8~1:1.2) to obtain anhydride-modified epoxy acrylate; it changes the main structure of the epoxy acrylate resin, and introduces a special proportion of ester groups, straight chain or cyclic carbon chain structures and other functional groups between the benzene ring and the acrylic double bond in the bisphenol A structure; firstly, this greatly prevents the two from forming a π-π conjugated effect, and secondly, the special proportion of functional groups interacts with the benzene ring and the double bond, which can reduce the tempering effect of the benzene ring, ease the cross-linking speed of the double bond, reduce its curing shrinkage, and absorb less ultraviolet rays while curing evenly, so that the yellowing is significantly improved. In the second step of the reaction, a special proportion of epoxy structure on the molecular chain is combined with urethane, and the molecular chain presents a network structure. After being formulated into a coating with a suitable viscosity, the volume shrinkage of the cured coating can be greatly reduced compared to ordinary light-curing resins. While having toughness, yellowing is relatively low, and it has good surface dryness and hardness.

[0106] The modified epoxy acrylate resin provided by the present invention is used in crystal glue dripping and is cured by low-energy LED with a curing energy of 100mJ / cm 2 Below, the hardness is 80-85D and has a certain strength, and can show a faster curing speed, a lower shrinkage rate (shrinkage rate is below 1.2%), excellent yellowing resistance (yellowing degree ΔYI reaches below 1.61) and thermal stability.

[0157] Comparative Example 3

[0159] Product Testing :

[0160] Pour the crystal glue into a specific mold, irradiate it with a low-energy LED lamp with a power of 6W for 1 minute each, then demould to obtain a cured block (thickness 4cm). Observe and test the curing speed, whether there is shrinkage, whether the surface is dry, whether it is resistant to nail scratches, and test the surface hardness and yellowing resistance. Among them, the yellowing resistance test is as follows: the above-mentioned cured block is irradiated with a nail polish lamp (45W) for 15 minutes, and then the yellowing effect of the cured block before and after irradiation by the nail polish lamp is compared. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0161] (1) Surface viscosity: Touch the surface of the cured block with your hands and fingers to judge the surface viscosity by the degree of stickiness.

[0162] (2) Hardness: Shore hardness.

[0163] (3) Yellowing resistance: The yellowing change ΔYI of the cured block before and after irradiation with a nail polish lamp is tested.

[0164] (4) Shrinkage: The volume change of the material before and after curing is tested. The ratio of volume change to initial volume is the shrinkage rate (%).

[0165] (5) Scratch resistance: Use a pencil hardness tester to test its scratch resistance level (pencil hardness means that this hardness cannot scratch the surface of the glue).

[0166] (6) Thermal stability: The cured block was baked at 80°C for 168 h, and the viscosity and appearance changes of the sample were tested.

[0167] Table 1: Test results

[0168]

[0169] It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that the curing energy of the glue samples prepared by the resins obtained in Examples 1-3 of the present invention is 100mJ / cm 2The following is not sticky, the hardness is about 80-85D, it has a certain toughness, and there is no obvious shrinkage at high thickness (shrinkage rate is below 1.2%). The most important thing is that there is no obvious yellowing (yellowing variable ΔYI is below 1.61), excellent scratch resistance, normal appearance after heat treatment and viscosity change does not exceed 50%. Comparative Examples 1-3 have sticky hands, especially the surface of the commercially available modified epoxy resin in Comparative Example 3 is obviously sticky. Because the curing speed of Comparative Example 1 is too fast, it shows more obvious shrinkage and more obvious yellowing. Because the curing speed of Comparative Example 2 is relatively slow, the surface is slightly sticky, not resistant to scratching by nails, and there is obvious yellowing. The surface of the commercially available modified epoxy resin in Comparative Example 3 is obviously sticky, shrinks more seriously, has poor yellowing resistance, and is not resistant to scratching by nails.

[0170] In summary, the structures obtained by reacting 128 epoxy and epichlorohydrin with anhydride in a special ratio in Examples 1-3 have excellent non-stickiness, fast curing speed, excellent toughness and excellent yellowing resistance, and also have good thermal stability.
