Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, in particular to the technical field of adhesives, and specifically relates to a low-temperature curing epoxy adhesive with high modulus and high elongation at break, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Epoxy resin is a general term for compounds containing epoxy groups. Due to its good adhesion, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, high strength and other characteristics, it is widely used in adhesives, seals, potting, molding compounds and other fields, involving electronics, industry, aviation and other industries. The vast majority of single-component epoxy adhesives are thermosetting products. According to their curing temperature, products cured at 60℃-90℃ are classified as low-temperature curing products. Low-temperature curing epoxy adhesives are widely used in key components of consumer electronics, such as screens, cameras, fingerprint modules, acoustic modules, chips and other devices that are not heat-resistant. At the same time, these devices are relatively sophisticated, involving the intersection of optics, acoustics, electronics and structures, and the application scenarios are complex, with strict requirements on the bonding performance, modulus and toughness of the adhesive.

[0003] The Chinese patent application publication CN117801209A discloses a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin and a preparation method thereof, and a novel polyurethane-modified epoxy resin is prepared by the addition reaction of polyisocyanate and epoxy resin. The modified epoxy resin has high shear strength after curing at room temperature, and good double 85 performance, but the elongation at break is only 28%-34%, and the toughness is poor. CN112300741A discloses a two-component epoxy adhesive that cures quickly at room temperature, with a tensile strength greater than 10MPa, an elongation at break greater than 100%, and good bonding performance for metal materials such as stainless steel. However, the epoxy adhesive is a two-component adhesive, which is limited in use in most single-component application scenarios, and the tensile strength is still not high enough. CN115785866A discloses a single-component low-temperature curing epoxy adhesive with low modulus and high bonding strength, which can achieve rapid curing at 80°C, and at low modulus (<300MPa), there is no cracking after cold and hot shock. However, the epoxy adhesive has poor toughness and cracking when the modulus is high.

[0004] In summary, when the modulus of epoxy adhesives in the prior art is high, the bonding performance is better, but the toughness will deteriorate, and there is a risk of device failure during falling or hot and cold shock; when the modulus is low, a higher elongation at break can be achieved, but the material is soft, and some precision devices will have a large displacement at the bonding part when disturbed, affecting the accuracy of the device, and the bonding force and heat resistance will deteriorate. Therefore, the development of a low-temperature curing epoxy adhesive with high modulus and high elongation at break is of great significance for the high-reliability bonding of key devices in the consumer electronics industry.

[0084] Table 1 Raw material composition of epoxy adhesive in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2

[0085] The properties of the epoxy adhesives prepared in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were tested. The test results are shown in Table 2. The test methods are as follows.

[0086] (1) Tensile shear strength: Stainless steel / PC lap joints were prepared by heat curing at 70°C for 30 min and tested using a universal electronic tensile testing machine (Shimadzu AG-IC20KN) at a tensile rate of 10 mm / min. The average value of 10 groups of samples was taken.

[0087] (2) Tensile strength and elongation at break: Prepare samples in accordance with the requirements of GB / T 1040.2-2006 “Determination of tensile properties of plastics Part 2: Test conditions for molded and extruded plastics”. Heat cure at 70°C for 30 min. Test with a universal electronic tensile testing machine (Shimadzu AG-IC20KN) at a tensile rate of 50 mm / min. Take the average value of 10 groups of samples.

[0088] (3) Storage modulus: tested using DMA850 from TA Instruments, USA. The test mode is tensile mode. The specimen length is 20 mm, the width is 5 mm, and the thickness is 0.5 mm. It is prepared by heat curing at 70°C for 30 min. Test parameters: temperature range is 0-80°C, the corresponding value of 25°C is taken, the frequency is 1 Hz, and the scanning is 5°C / min.

[0089] (4) Double 85 test: Stainless steel / PC overlap was prepared by heat curing at 70°C for 30 min.

[0090] Table 2 Performance test results of epoxy adhesives in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2

[0091] It can be seen from the experimental data in Table 2 that in this application, by reasonably matching the homemade main chain modified epoxy resin with liquid epoxy resin, solid epoxy resin and diluent, an epoxy adhesive with high modulus (>1300MPa), high elongation at break (>110%) and high strength and toughness is prepared. At the same time, the high modulus and high elongation at break epoxy adhesive also has a high initial shear strength (>22MPa) and good resistance to moisture and heat. In contrast, the side chain modified epoxy resin is used in Comparative Examples 1 to 2. Although the obtained epoxy adhesive maintains a high modulus, the elongation at break is significantly reduced, the shear strength is slightly reduced, and the resistance to moisture and heat is poor. This is because the modified epoxy resin D (such as D1 and D2) used in the examples is toughened by introducing a main chain polyurethane structure into the epoxy resin network, which can appropriately reduce the crosslinking degree of the epoxy resin network, increase the content of polyurethane, improve the toughness and elasticity of the cured network structure, and have both high modulus and high elongation at break, thereby improving the adhesion to stainless steel and PC substrates. The modified epoxy resin G used in the comparative example is toughened by a side chain polyurethane structure, which is toughened and crosslinked by the side chain of the epoxy resin network. The main network has a high degree of crosslinking, resulting in insufficient toughness. Although the modulus is high, the elongation at break is low. It can also be seen from Table 2 that, compared with the epoxy adhesives prepared in Examples 1 to 3, Examples 4 to 6 increase the molecular weight of the modified epoxy resin D (the molecular weight of PPG increases from 400 to 800) and the proportion of the modified epoxy resin D in the mixed epoxy resin. Although the storage modulus decreases, the elongation at break increases significantly. This is because the polyurethane soft and hard block structure containing polyether components in the main chain of the modified epoxy resin D can effectively improve the toughness and elasticity of the cured network.
