Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biodegradable hyperbranched epoxy resin technology, specifically relating to a bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resin / bisphenol A type epoxy resin composite resin containing an imide structure. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy resins (EP) are an important class of thermosetting resins. Their highly cross-linked structure after curing gives them excellent dimensional stability, heat resistance, and superior mechanical properties, making them widely used in cutting-edge fields such as aerospace, turbine technology, maritime transport, and electronics. However, the raw materials for traditional epoxy resin synthesis mainly come from non-renewable resources such as petroleum, which hinders the sustainable development of the epoxy resin industry. Therefore, developing bio-based epoxy resins based on renewable resources is crucial for sustainable production and environmentally friendly high-performance materials.

[0003] In recent years, an increasing number of studies have focused on developing novel epoxy materials to overcome the trade-off between toughness and strength and to address the energy and environmental problems caused by plastic waste. Bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resins synthesized from biological monomers can be used as matrix resins or toughening agents, thus forming partially or fully bio-based epoxy thermosetting plastics. Introducing hyperbranched structures can balance the strength, toughness, degradability, and recyclability of epoxy thermosetting plastics. From a molecular design perspective, dynamic covalent bonds are introduced to design and prepare epoxy resins containing imide and triazine backbones, which can strengthen and toughen traditional bisphenol A type epoxy resins. The hexahydrotriazine structure exhibits good degradability under acidic conditions, enabling the recycling of epoxy resins. Furthermore, the introduction of imide structures into hyperbranched epoxy resins can achieve higher strength and expand the application of epoxy resins in high-end fields.

[0004] The raw materials for traditional epoxy resin synthesis mainly come from non-renewable resources such as petroleum, which hinders the sustainable development of the epoxy resin industry. The development of bio-based hyperbranched resins not only aligns with the principles of sustainable development and a circular economy but also considers the resin's biodegradability, recyclability, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and other functionalities. Therefore, developing composite resin preparation technologies for imide-containing bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resins / bisphenol A type epoxy resins is a fundamental way to solve the current problems in this field.

[0101]

[0102] Note: The determination method for "Tensive Strength" in Table 2 is as follows: using a universal testing machine (Instron 5943) and referring to ASTM standard D638-14 "Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer-Based Composite Resins"; the determination method for "Flexural Strength" is as follows: using a universal testing machine (Instron 5943) and referring to ASTM standard D790M-92 "Flexural Test Method"; the determination method for "Impact Strength" is as follows: using a CEAST9050 pendulum impact tester and following ASTM standard D256-97, with a test temperature of 25℃.

[0103] 1) The test results in Table 1 show that:

[0104] The number-average molecular weight of the bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resins containing imide structures obtained in Examples 1-13 of this invention gradually increases with the increase of the number of terminal epoxy groups, and reaches the maximum value when the number of terminal groups is 12; the epoxy value gradually decreases with the increase of the number of epoxy groups.

[0105] 2) The test results in Table 2 show that:

[0106] The imide-containing bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resin / bisphenol A type epoxy resin composite resin obtained in this invention has a significant reinforcing and toughening effect on linear epoxy resins such as bisphenol A type epoxy resin. The imide-containing bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resin and bisphenol A type epoxy resin can be blended using 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 2,5-furandimethylamine, etc., as curing agents, with 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane being the optimal curing agent. (By adjusting the ratio of thiol compounds to bio-based maleimide monomers) Changing the number of terminal epoxy groups in the imide-containing bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resin / bisphenol A type epoxy resin composite resin leads to different mechanical properties of the composite resin. When the number of terminal epoxy groups in the bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resin is 12, the composite resin reaches its maximum value in tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength. Changing the structure of bio-based maleimide monomers can significantly affect the mechanical properties of bio-based hyperbranched epoxy resin / bisphenol A type epoxy resin composite resin containing imide structure. Specifically, when synthesizing bio-based maleimide monomers, thiols are added to introduce terminal chain groups. Phenyl thiols and pyridine thiols are preferred over aliphatic chain thiols, and among aliphatic chain thiols, short-chain thiols are preferred over long-chain thiols.
