Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials and their applications, and particularly relates to a preparation and use method of an organic-inorganic hybrid phenolic structural adhesive. Background Art

[0002] Since the early 20th century, phenolic resin (PF) has become one of the most important thermosetting adhesives in industry due to its excellent heat resistance, chemical stability, and film-forming properties. PF adhesives are widely used in wood processing, electronic packaging, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing. However, the high crosslink density and rigid molecular structure of the PF system itself lead to significant brittleness of the cured material, with poor impact and shear resistance, limiting its reliability in high-load, high-vibration, and complex environments.

[0003] To improve the toughness and ductility of PF adhesives, researchers have proposed various modification schemes. On the one hand, thermoplastic polymers (such as nitrile rubber, polyetheramide, and PEEK) can be blended or chemically grafted to form a two-phase structure, achieving energy absorption and crack passivation. However, excessive introduction of thermoplastic components can lead to decreased crosslinking efficiency and reduced heat resistance. On the other hand, nano-inorganic fillers (such as SiO2, Al2O3, carbon nanotubes, and silanized silica) are also widely used in PF modification due to their high surface area and toughening properties. Nanoparticles improve the fracture toughness and thermal stability of the material through physical barrier and interfacial energy absorption. However, poor dispersion and insufficient interfacial compatibility often lead to filler agglomeration, forming defects and weakening the overall performance improvement.

[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies often focus on single modification strategies, ignoring the synergistic effects of organic and inorganic components at the microscopic interface level. The key technical challenge in the field of PF structural adhesives remains how to construct organic-inorganic hybrid networks that exhibit strong interfacial interactions while balancing high toughness and high temperature resistance.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new organic Inorganic hybrid modification technology, through chemical functionalization modification and nano-inorganic network construction, achieves a dual improvement in the high toughness and high-temperature stability of PF adhesives, thereby meeting the reliability requirements of structural adhesives under extreme conditions in cutting-edge engineering applications. Summary of the Invention
