Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biodegradable epoxy resin technology, and particularly relates to a biodegradable epoxy resin composite material with adjustable curing speed, its preparation and a mild and fully recyclable method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional epoxy resins are widely used in many fields due to their excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability. However, these properties also make them difficult to degrade in the natural environment, resulting in long-term pollution and environmental burden. With increasing environmental awareness and the growing acceptance of sustainable development concepts, the biodegradability of epoxy resins has become particularly important. Therefore, developing biodegradable epoxy resin composites has become a crucial research topic in the field of polymer materials. Currently, although research has been conducted on developing biodegradable epoxy resin materials, existing technologies still face many challenges. For example, while dynamically bonded epoxy resins possess some biodegradability, they are expensive and have poor processability, hindering large-scale application. Furthermore, while epoxy resins containing ester groups can theoretically be degraded through alkaline hydrolysis, alcoholysis, and aminolysis, the actual degradation conditions are extremely harsh, typically requiring strong acid and alkali environments and high temperatures (usually above 120°C). For example, CN115536615B discloses a bio-based epoxy resin that, through esterification, yielded a series of compounds containing both polycarboxyl groups and double bonds. Based on these, a series of bio-based epoxy resin precursors containing ester groups and double bonds were obtained, which were then degraded using the hydrolysis of ester bonds under strongly alkaline conditions. This not only increases the cost of degradation and recycling but also inevitably leads to secondary pollution, limiting its feasibility in practical applications. Although some studies have attempted to address these issues through composite formulation design and degradation methods, numerous technical challenges remain, and widespread application breakthroughs have not yet been achieved.

[0003] Meanwhile, different application areas have their own strict requirements for the curing speed and curing temperature of epoxy resins. For example, in vacuum infusion processes, a longer gel time (100-200 minutes) is usually required to ensure uniform filling and curing effects; while for applications such as maintenance resins or adhesives, rapid curing at room temperature is necessary to improve construction efficiency and ease of use. However, current epoxy resin composites still have significant limitations in controlling the curing speed and curing temperature, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the needs of multiple application scenarios. Therefore, there is an urgent need to optimize the composition of epoxy resin composites to achieve flexible control of curing speed and curing temperature, while also considering the biodegradability and environmental friendliness of the materials.
