AI Technical Summary
Existing epoxy resin compositions have high viscosity at high temperatures and the viscosity increases too quickly, resulting in a short processing time and inability to fully impregnate the fibers. Furthermore, the low viscosity at room temperature leads to resin flow, affecting the storage and transportation of the prepreg. This causes the prepreg to bend and deform after the release paper is peeled off, affecting the mechanical properties of the final cured product.
The design employs a two-component system consisting of component A and component B. Component A comprises liquid epoxy resin I and solid epoxy resin, while component B comprises liquid epoxy resin II, a curing agent, and an accelerator. By selecting the type of resin and adjusting the ratio, the curing speed of the resin composition is adjusted to ensure a longer processing time during the coating process and to maintain a high viscosity at room temperature, thus avoiding resin run-off.
This technology enables stable storage and transportation of prepregs at room temperature, avoiding problems such as pitting and dry yarn, ensuring good wetting of resin and fiber and interfacial adhesion strength, and improving the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the final cured product, making it suitable for mass production.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an epoxy resin, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In the engineering field, lightweighting is a common challenge, whether for large spacecraft or tiny mechanical parts. The car body, as a key load-bearing component, directly impacts passenger safety. Meanwhile, the introduction of energy-saving and emission-reduction regulations for automobiles further emphasizes the importance of lightweight car body design. Utilizing lightweight, high-strength materials has become a crucial strategy for lightweighting car bodies. Carbon fiber composites, as a representative of lightweight materials, are a strong candidate material due to their excellent properties such as low density, high specific strength, high specific modulus, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and outstanding thermal and chemical stability.
[0003] Prepreg is a material prepared by continuously impregnating reinforcing fibers or fiber fabrics with a precisely controlled resin matrix and then processing it to achieve a certain shelf life at room temperature. Pre-impregnation of the resin significantly reduces the processing steps in the final product manufacturing process, resulting in a high degree of automation and enabling the one-time molding of complex shapes, thus offering broad application prospects. Carbon fiber, due to its superior mechanical properties and stability, is gradually replacing traditional glass fiber as the primary prepreg reinforcement.
[0004] Hot melt prepregs require the resin system to have a low viscosity when melting at high temperatures, and a sufficiently long processing time is needed to fully impregnate the fibers; and the resin system in hot melt prepregs needs to have a certain viscosity to prevent glue flow during storage or transportation at room temperature.
[0005] Therefore, how to create a new epoxy resin composition, prepreg and its preparation method, and extend the processing time of the epoxy resin matrix to meet both the requirements of continuous production and the requirement that the product has good mechanical properties after resin curing, has become a key improvement goal that urgently needs to be solved in the industry.
[0006] In existing technologies, epoxy resin compositions often exhibit high viscosity and rapid viscosity increase during high-temperature melting, resulting in a short processing time and hindering complete fiber impregnation. This leads to undesirable impregnation phenomena such as pitting, dry yarn, and twisting, affecting the overall performance of the prepreg. Furthermore, the low viscosity at room temperature results in resin flow and poor dimensional stability. The prepreg prepared in this way exhibits significant bending and deformation after the release paper is peeled off, which is detrimental to storage and transportation, ultimately affecting the mechanical properties of the cured product. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the problem of unreasonable processing time in existing epoxy resin compositions for preparing prepregs, this invention proposes an epoxy resin composition, its preparation method, and its application.
[0008] The epoxy resin composition of the present invention consists of component A and component B; the mass ratio of component A to component B is 100:(20-40);
[0009] Component A consists of liquid epoxy resin I and solid epoxy resin; the liquid epoxy resin I in component A is 20-50 parts and the solid epoxy resin is 40-80 parts.
[0010] Component B consists of liquid epoxy resin II, curing agent and accelerator; in component B, liquid epoxy resin II is 60-90 parts, curing agent is 2-10 parts and accelerator is 1-5 parts.
[0011] The softening point of the solid epoxy resin is 55-95℃; the softening points of liquid epoxy resin I and liquid epoxy resin II are below 25℃.
[0012] The preparation method of the above epoxy resin composition is carried out according to the following steps:
[0013] I. Preparation of Component A: The solid epoxy resin is melted by heating, and then liquid epoxy resin I is added. After stirring and mixing evenly, component A is obtained.
[0014] II. Preparation of Component B: Liquid epoxy resin II, curing agent and accelerator are mixed and ground, heated to 55-85℃, and stirred until uniform to obtain component B;
[0015] III. Preparation of epoxy resin composition: The A component obtained in step one and the B component obtained in step two are stirred and mixed evenly at 55-85℃, and the epoxy resin composition is obtained after cooling.
[0016] The method for preparing epoxy resin prepreg using the above epoxy resin composition is carried out according to the following steps:
[0017] 1. Weigh out the epoxy resin composition and carbon fiber;
[0018] 2. The epoxy resin composition is coated using a film coating machine to obtain an epoxy resin film; the coating temperature of the film coating machine is 70-90℃, and the coating speed is 4-12m / min.
[0019] 3. The carbon fiber is laid between two layers of epoxy resin film and then hot-pressed to obtain carbon fiber prepreg.
[0020] The principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0021] The epoxy resin composition of this invention comprises component A and component B. Component A consists of liquid epoxy resin I and solid epoxy resin, while component B consists of epoxy resin II, a curing agent, and an accelerator. Component A is prepared through a melt-mixing process of high-softening-point solid epoxy resin, while component B is prepared through a grinding process of the additives. This two-component design separates the preparation processes, avoiding the problems of high viscosity and uneven composition caused by the simultaneous addition of solid epoxy resin and additives. By selecting the type of resin, adjusting the resin ratio, and regulating the amount of additives, the curing speed of the resin composition is adjusted, resulting in a longer processing time during the coating process and producing a uniform film quality, suitable for mass production of prepregs.
[0022] In this invention, the addition of a high softening point solid epoxy resin results in a high viscosity of the resin composition at room temperature. The prepreg prepared does not flow during storage or transportation at room temperature, and its size and shape do not change significantly after the release paper is peeled off. This is beneficial for subsequent lamination and curing, and effectively improves the stability of prepreg storage and transportation as well as the quality of the final cured product.
[0023] This invention selects solid epoxy resin with high thermal stability and multifunctional liquid epoxy resin as raw materials. The solid epoxy resin used has excellent heat resistance and can maintain a stable chemical structure and physical properties at high temperatures with minimal loss of mechanical properties. The multifunctional liquid epoxy resin forms a high-density cross-linked network through intermolecular cross-linking reactions. The selected curing agent and accelerator promote the intermolecular cross-linking reactions, forming a more compact and stable chemical structure, thereby improving the heat resistance of the cured resin composition.
[0024] When the resin composition film of the present invention is laminated with fibers, the viscosity of the resin solution is low at the selected lamination temperature, which can completely wet the fibers and avoid problems such as pitting and dry yarn in the prepreg. The resin and fiber have good wettability and high interfacial bonding strength, resulting in excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance of the final cured product.
[0025] The epoxy resin composition of this invention has good processability and lay-up properties. The cured product of the epoxy resin composition has excellent heat resistance and mechanical strength properties, which can meet the requirements of composite materials used in the automotive and other fields for mechanical properties, heat resistance, lightweight and high strength. Furthermore, the prepreg and composite material raw materials provided by this invention are simple and readily available, low in cost, and suitable for rapid large-scale production.
