Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of flame retardancy, and in particular relates to an imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Epoxy resin, a widely used thermosetting resin material, offers advantages such as low production cost, electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and high thermal stability. Consequently, it is widely used in fields such as construction, aerospace, and electronics. However, as an organic polymer, epoxy resin contains significant amounts of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in its structure, making it flammable and releasing large amounts of smoke during combustion, severely limiting its application. In recent years, the flame-retardant modification of epoxy resin using phosphorus-based flame retardants has become a research hotspot in the flame retardant field. Flame-retardant epoxy resins are generally categorized as additive-based and reactive-based. Additive-based epoxy resins are generally simple to manufacture and have a wider range of raw materials, making them the most widely used type worldwide. However, the addition of additives also presents dispersibility and compatibility issues, and flame retardant precipitation can also occur during long-term use. Reactive-based flame-retardant curing accelerators, on the other hand, can directly incorporate flame-retardant elements into the epoxy resin chain. When used as a curing agent, they impart long-term flame retardancy while minimizing the impact on the mechanical properties of the epoxy system. Therefore, the research and development of phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing epoxy resins, as well as silicone-based epoxy resins, has attracted significant attention. A Chinese patent application (CN118772202B) discloses an imidazole-based phosphorus-containing latent flame retardant, but its structure is fixed and cannot be adjusted. A Chinese patent application (CN114539316A) discloses a phosphorus-containing imidazole compound, but this compound suffers from the disadvantages of high addition levels and low flame retardancy. This invention designs a structurally controllable imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent for use in the preparation of intrinsically flame-retardant epoxy resin materials. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide an imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent and a preparation method thereof. The imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent has structural characteristics characterized by adjustable phosphorus oxidation state and number of aromatic rings. It can function as an epoxy curing agent while also exerting a phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic flame retardant effect. It exhibits excellent charring properties, high flame retardant efficiency, high thermal stability, no migration or precipitation, and antibacterial properties.

[0013] ① Dissolve the diamine and 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde or 2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde in ethanol and heat under the protection of inert gas to react to obtain an imidazolyl Schiff base intermediate;

[0014] ② The imidazolyl Schiff base intermediate and the phosphorus-containing compound obtained in step ① are dissolved in ethanol, and heated to react under the protection of an inert gas to obtain a flame retardant curing agent.

[0015] In step ①, the diamine is selected from one of 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, and 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane.

[0016] In step ①, the molar ratio of diamine to 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde or 2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde is 1:(2.0~2.2).

[0017] In step ①, the inert gas is any one of nitrogen, argon or helium.

[0018] In step ①, the reaction temperature is 20°C to 80°C, and the reaction time is 3 to 24 hours.

[0020] In step ②, the molar ratio of the imidazolyl Schiff base intermediate to the phosphorus-containing compound is 1:(2.0-2.2).

[0021] In step ②, the inert gas is any one of nitrogen, argon or helium.

[0022] In step ②, the reaction temperature is 40-80° C., and the reaction time is 3-24 hours.

[0023] The invention discloses an application of the imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent in the preparation of a flame retardant and antibacterial epoxy resin functional material.

[0024] Furthermore, the imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent is added as an auxiliary agent to the epoxy resin system to improve the flame retardant and antibacterial properties of the epoxy resin.

[0025] Furthermore, the addition amount of the imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent is 2.5-7.5% of the total mass of the epoxy resin components, and more preferably 5%.

[0026] In specific applications, the ratio of the imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame-retardant curing agent to the original curing agent needs to be controlled. In principle, the molar ratio of the imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame-retardant curing agent plus the active hydrogen of the original curing agent to the epoxy groups in the epoxy resin is fixed at 1:1. Therefore, as the amount of flame-retardant curing agent increases, the amount of original curing agent used decreases accordingly.

[0030] 3.

[0080]

[0081] Note: The epoxy resin is bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, the curing agent is 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, the phosphorus-containing flame retardant is 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, the imidazole-containing flame retardant 1 is dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaphosphonic acid imidazole complex, the imidazole-containing flame retardant 2 is phenylphosphonic acid diimidazole complex, and the imidazole-containing flame retardant 3 is N-[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propyl]-P,P-diphenylphosphinamide.

[0082] Accurately weigh the epoxy resin, curing agent, and flame retardant (or intermediate). Mix the epoxy resin and flame retardant (or intermediate) at 80°C for 1 hour. Then add the curing agent and continue mixing for 30 minutes. Immediately pour the mixture into a mold. Curing conditions are 100°C / 2 hours + 150°C / 2 hours. Cool naturally to room temperature to obtain a flame-retardant epoxy resin sample. Test the oxygen index and vertical combustion test. The results are shown in Table 4:

[0083]

[0084] The flame retardant test results of each sample in Table 2 and Table 4 show that the oxygen index of the untreated epoxy resin is 25.5%, and the UL-94 vertical burning test has no grade. The oxygen index of the epoxy resin to which 2.5 wt% flame retardant a is added is increased to 31.0%, but the UL-94 vertical burning test only reaches V-2 level. The oxygen index of the epoxy resin to which 5.0 wt% and 7.5 wt% flame retardant a are added respectively is further increased to 33.0% and 33.5%, and both can pass the UL-94 vertical burning test V-0 level. In addition, the oxygen index of the epoxy resin to which 5.0 wt% flame retardant b, flame retardant c and flame retardant d are added respectively reaches more than 32.0%, and both can pass the UL-94 vertical burning test V-0 level, indicating that the imidazole-based phosphorus-containing flame retardant curing agent provided by the present invention has excellent flame retardant efficiency. In contrast, the oxygen index of the epoxy resins added with 5.0 wt% of intermediate a and intermediate b respectively failed to exceed 29.0%, and the UL-94 vertical burning test had no grade; the oxygen index of the epoxy resin added with 5.0 wt% of phosphorus-containing flame retardant reached 30.5%, but only reached the UL-94 V-1 grade; the oxygen index of epoxy resins 10 and 11 added with two imidazole flame retardants were 27.5% and 27.0%, respectively, and the UL-94 vertical burning test showed no grade, which is because the flame retardant efficiency of the ionic bond formed between the imidazole and the phosphonic acid group is not as good as the covalent bond; the oxygen index of the epoxy resin added with imidazole flame retardant 3 was 30.0%, and the UL-94 vertical burning test only reached the V-2 grade, indicating that the flame retardant efficiency of a single imidazole group is not as good as that of a double imidazole group.
