Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adhesive technology and relates to a cationic epoxy adhesive for electronic protection and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing and application of modern electronic devices, protection against mold, moisture, and salt spray is particularly important, especially when the equipment needs to operate in harsh environments for extended periods. These protective measures directly affect the reliability and lifespan of the equipment. With continuous technological advancements, the application scenarios for electronic devices are becoming increasingly diverse, including outdoor equipment, industrial automation, and military equipment, all of which place higher demands on their protective performance. Therefore, selecting suitable adhesives for the encapsulation and protection of electronic components has become a crucial issue.
[0003] Traditional epoxy adhesives are widely used for the encapsulation and protection of electronic components due to their excellent bonding strength, heat resistance, and good mechanical properties, making them the mainstream material in this field. However, despite their excellent performance in many aspects, epoxy adhesives still have some significant shortcomings in electronic conformal coating applications. First, the performance of many epoxy resins tends to degrade significantly in high humidity environments, leading to weakened bonding strength and even bonding failure. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in humid or rainy environments, potentially causing electronic component failure and thus affecting the normal operation of the entire device.
[0004] Secondly, traditional epoxy adhesives also lack sufficient chemical resistance, failing to effectively resist the erosion of various chemical media. In certain industrial environments or outdoor applications, electronic devices may be exposed to various chemicals, such as corrosive gases, oils, or other chemical solvents. The intrusion of these chemical media can damage epoxy adhesives, thereby affecting their bonding performance and durability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a cationic epoxy adhesive for electronic weatherproofing and its preparation method. In this invention, an alicyclic epoxy resin is modified with perfluorobutanol and KH-560 to introduce hydrophobic fluorocarbon chains and silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds, forming an organic-inorganic hybrid structure that enhances moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical properties. Grafting 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane onto polydimethylsiloxane via UV-initiated reaction improves compatibility with the epoxy resin and enhances toughness and impact resistance through flexible segments. Functionalized polymers prepared by transesterification of hyperbranched polyester and trimethyl phosphate impart excellent flame retardancy, chemical stability, and metal adhesion to the material. Furthermore, a slow-release BF3-MEA curing agent is prepared using microencapsulation technology, solving the problem of insufficient UV curing depth and achieving comprehensive curing of both the surface and deep layers. This invention combines UV curing and natural curing strategies, taking into account both rapid shaping and deep curing, significantly optimizing the material's processing efficiency, mechanical properties, and chemical stability, and meeting various needs for electronic weatherproofing and high-performance materials.

[0070] Secondly, the present invention provides a cationic epoxy adhesive for electronic protection prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0071] This invention selects alicyclic epoxy resin as the matrix resin primarily based on its superior performance characteristics and structural advantages. Alicyclic epoxy resins possess a rigid cyclic backbone, a structure that endows the material with a high glass transition temperature and excellent mechanical properties. Simultaneously, its molecular structure provides good chemical resistance, low hygroscopicity, and thermal stability. Furthermore, the epoxy groups on alicyclic epoxy resins are active sites for cationic polymerization, enabling the formation of a dense cross-linked network through cationic ring-opening polymerization during curing, thereby significantly improving the material's strength and stability.
[0072] To further enhance the functional properties of alicyclic epoxy resins, perfluorobutanol is introduced for modification in this invention. Perfluorobutanol molecules contain hydroxyl groups and highly hydrophobic fluorocarbon chains. The hydroxyl groups can undergo ring-opening reactions with the epoxy groups of alicyclic epoxy resins. Under the catalysis of tetrabutylammonium bromide, the hydroxyl groups of perfluorobutanol nucleophilically attack the epoxy groups to form ether bonds, while simultaneously introducing the fluorocarbon chains stably into the resin molecular structure. The introduction of fluorinated groups reduces the surface energy of the modified resin, thereby enhancing the material's moisture resistance and corrosion resistance, meeting the requirements for electronic dust resistance. Furthermore, by optimizing the reaction conditions, excessive ring-opening reactions of the epoxy groups are effectively avoided, ensuring a sufficiently high crosslinking density and excellent mechanical properties during subsequent curing.
[0073] After fluorination modification, this invention further introduces KH-560 to silane modify the alicyclic epoxy resin to optimize its overall performance. KH-560 undergoes partial hydrolysis in an ethanol / water system, converting the trimethoxysilane group into silanol. Subsequently, the silanol forms silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds through a condensation reaction. Simultaneously, the silanol undergoes a ring-opening reaction with the alicyclic epoxy resin to form silicon-oxygen-carbon bonds. This coupling effect constructs an organic-inorganic hybrid structure at the molecular level.
[0074] The introduction of silicon grafting significantly improves the performance of modified epoxy resins in several aspects: the silicon-oxygen-silicon bond has high bond energy, and its introduction significantly improves the thermal stability of the modified resin, enabling it to withstand long-term use in higher temperature environments; secondly, KH-560, as a silane coupling agent, has a molecular structure that combines inorganic silicon-oxygen bonds and organic epoxy groups, which can enhance the interfacial bonding between the modified resin and the substrate through chemical bonding; in addition, the siloxane segments have high flexibility, which can significantly alleviate the internal stress generated during the curing process due to the high crosslinking density, thereby reducing interfacial cracks and warping, and improving the mechanical properties and durability of the material.
[0075] This invention achieves highly efficient grafting of vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane through a UV-initiated chemical reaction. Specifically, under the action of a UV photoinitiator, the vinyl groups of vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane are excited by UV light to generate active free radicals. These free radicals can rapidly initiate an addition reaction between the mercapto groups of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and the vinyl groups, forming carbon-sulfur bonds. This allows for the grafting of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane onto the polydimethylsiloxane chain, generating a polydimethylsiloxane-silane copolymer. Through this reaction, the polydimethylsiloxane segment introduces a flexible silicon-oxygen-silicon structure while also introducing active siloxy groups through 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, providing active sites for subsequent chemical bonding with epoxy resins.
[0076] The introduction of flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) segments plays a crucial role in the toughness and impact resistance of adhesives. The main chain of PDMS is composed of silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds, giving it high flexibility and low modulus. These flexible segments effectively alleviate stress concentration and absorb impact loads, significantly improving the adhesive's impact resistance and elongation at break. Furthermore, unmodified PDMS, due to its high hydrophobicity, exhibits significant interfacial incompatibility with highly polar epoxy resins, easily leading to phase separation during curing and resulting in decreased material properties. Therefore, chemical modification to introduce siloxane groups enables PDMS to react chemically with epoxy resins, thus resolving the compatibility issue.
[0077] Under the catalysis of tetraphenylphosphine bromide, modified polydimethylsiloxane can react with the epoxy groups of bisphenol F epoxy resin through its siloxy groups. Under the action of the catalyst, the epoxy groups undergo a ring-opening reaction, forming silicon-oxygen-carbon bonds with the siloxy groups, thus achieving chemical bonding between the two molecules. This chemical bonding embeds flexible polydimethylsiloxane segments into the cross-linked network of the epoxy resin at the molecular level, forming a covalently linked organic-inorganic hybrid structure. The low viscosity of bisphenol F epoxy resin helps to uniformly disperse the modified polydimethylsiloxane, avoiding localized unevenness during mixing. Its high cross-linking density, combined with the flexible polydimethylsiloxane segments, forms a uniform and dense network structure in the material, improving both the strength and heat resistance of the material, and effectively alleviating the internal stress caused by the high cross-linking density through the dispersion of the flexible segments.
[0078] This invention successfully prepared a functionalized polymer containing high-density phosphate ester bonds and phosphonic acid groups by designing a transesterification reaction between hyperbranched polyester and trimethyl phosphate. Under the catalysis of potassium carbonate, the hydroxyl groups in the hyperbranched polyester undergo a transesterification reaction with the ester groups in trimethyl phosphate to generate phosphate ester bonds. This process ensures that the phosphate ester groups are uniformly distributed in the molecular structure of the hyperbranched polyester while preserving the multi-branched structure of the hyperbranched molecule. Subsequently, through acidic hydrolysis, some of the phosphate ester bonds are hydrolyzed, releasing phosphonic acid groups, further endowing the material with specific functional properties.
[0079] The introduction of hyperbranched structure is one of the key design features of this invention. Hyperbranched polyesters possess a highly branched three-dimensional structure with a large number of active groups distributed both internally and on the surface of the molecule, enabling them to provide an extremely high functional group density. This high density of phosphate ester bonds endows the material with excellent flame retardant properties. Furthermore, the phosphate ester bonds and phosphonic acid groups exhibit good chemical stability, which can significantly improve the material's corrosion resistance, especially in high humidity or corrosive environments, where the material demonstrates excellent durability.
[0080] On the other hand, the introduction of phosphonic acid groups further enhances the adhesion of the material to the metal surface. Phosphonic acid groups have a strong ability to form chemical bonds with the metal surface, and can form stable interfacial bonds through chemical adsorption or coordination with the metal oxide layer. This bond not only firmly connects the adhesive to the metal surface but also effectively improves peel strength, ensuring the reliability of the material in complex environments.
[0081] This invention prepares a slow-release BF3-MEA curing agent using microencapsulation technology, effectively controlling the catalyst release process and optimizing the curing performance of the epoxy system. Specifically, gelatin and gum arabic are used as wall materials, and a stable wall material structure is initially formed through their electrostatic interaction. Gelatin contains cationic groups, while gum arabic contains anionic groups; under suitable pH conditions, they can form a uniform initial wall material solution through electrostatic attraction. Based on this, a low-temperature re-coagulation process is used to further aggregate and precipitate the wall material in an aqueous solution, coating the core material BF3-MEA complex to form a microcapsule structure with preliminary mechanical strength. Nano-silica enhances the compactness of the microcapsule wall and reduces water permeability through physical filling and interaction with surface hydroxyl groups.
[0082] To further enhance the mechanical properties and environmental stability of the microcapsules, this invention designs a cross-linking reaction. Isophorone diisocyanate undergoes an addition reaction with the amino groups and ethylenediamine in the wall material to generate a three-dimensional cross-linked polyurea network. This improves the strength and durability of the microcapsules while maintaining their sustained-release capability. The cross-linked polyurea network forms a dense protective layer on the microcapsule surface, effectively preventing premature release of the BF3-MEA complex in the core material during storage or processing, ensuring its latency.
[0083] Microencapsulated BF3-MEA plays a crucial role in the UV post-curing stage of epoxy systems. In the initial curing phase, UV-induced cationic polymerization primarily targets surface epoxy groups, forming a preliminary cured structure. However, due to the limited penetration depth of UV curing, the curing effect on deeper epoxy groups is often incomplete. At this point, microencapsulated BF3-MEA gradually releases BF3-MEA complexes under heating conditions. BF3, as a strong cationic catalyst, effectively promotes the ring-opening polymerization reaction of epoxy groups, further enhancing the degree of deep curing and crosslinking density. This slow-release mechanism ensures uniform curing of the epoxy system from the surface to the depths, improving the overall physical properties and chemical stability of the material.
[0084] In this application, comprehensive cross-linking of surface and deep epoxy groups is achieved through UV curing and natural curing. UV curing is responsible for rapid shaping and surface curing, while natural curing completes the deep curing reaction through the slow-release catalyst. The two complement each other in time and space, which not only improves processing efficiency but also ensures the mechanical properties, chemical stability, and deep curing effect of the material.
[0085] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0086] This invention uses alicyclic epoxy resin as a matrix, where the epoxy groups form a dense cross-linked network through cationic polymerization, enhancing strength and chemical stability. Perfluorobutanol modification introduces hydrophobic fluorocarbon chains into the resin molecules, reducing surface energy and significantly enhancing moisture and corrosion resistance. Further silanization modification using KH-560 silane coupling agent introduces silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds to form an organic-inorganic hybrid structure, improving thermal stability, interfacial bonding, and flexibility. This improves internal stress and optimizes mechanical properties and durability, meeting the high-performance requirements of electronic ruggedness.
[0087] This invention utilizes a UV-initiated reaction to graft 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane onto vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, generating a copolymer containing active siloxy groups, thus resolving its compatibility issue with epoxy resins. After modification, the polydimethylsiloxane chemically bonds to bisphenol F epoxy resin through siloxy groups, forming an organic-inorganic hybrid network. The flexible silicon-oxygen-silicon segments significantly improve toughness and impact resistance while mitigating internal stress. The high crosslinking density of the network further enhances the material's strength and heat resistance, achieving a comprehensive performance of high toughness and high strength.
[0088] This invention prepares a functionalized polymer containing high-density phosphate ester bonds and phosphonic acid groups through a transesterification reaction of hyperbranched polyester and trimethyl phosphate. The hyperbranched structure provides a high functional group density, endowing the material with excellent flame retardant properties and chemical stability, while the phosphate ester bonds synergistically inhibit flame propagation through the condensed phase and gas phase. Simultaneously, the phosphonic acid groups enhance the material's adhesion to metal surfaces, forming stable chemical bonds with the metal oxide layer, improving interfacial bonding and peel strength, and significantly enhancing the material's durability and reliability in high humidity and corrosive environments.
[0089] This invention prepares a sustained-release BF3-MEA curing agent using microencapsulation technology. A stable wall material is formed using gelatin and gum arabic, and the strength and sustained-release properties of the microcapsules are enhanced through polyurea crosslinking. The microencapsulated BF3-MEA is gradually released during the UV post-curing stage, solving the problem of insufficient UV curing depth. It uniformly promotes the ring-opening polymerization of epoxy groups, achieving complete curing from the surface to the depths, and significantly improving the mechanical properties and chemical stability of the material.
[0090] In this application, comprehensive cross-linking of surface and deep epoxy groups is achieved through UV curing and natural curing. UV curing is responsible for rapid shaping and surface curing, while natural curing completes the deep curing reaction through the slow-release catalyst. The two complement each other in time and space, which not only improves processing efficiency but also ensures the mechanical properties, chemical stability, and deep curing effect of the material.

[0122] This comparative example provides a cationic epoxy adhesive for electronic protection. The difference from Example 1 is that the step of reacting alicyclic epoxy resin with perfluorobutanol in S1 is omitted. Other operating steps and process parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0123] Comparative Example 2
[0124] This comparative example provides a cationic epoxy adhesive for electronic protection. The difference from Example 1 is that in S1, unmodified alicyclic epoxy resin is used directly without modification. Other operating steps and process parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0125] Comparative Example 3
[0126] This comparative example provides a cationic epoxy adhesive for electronic protection. The difference from Example 1 is that in S5, microencapsulated BF3-MEA is not added, and only UV curing is used. Other operating steps and process parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0128] The viscosity of the test sample was determined according to GB / T 2794-2013;

[0133] Table 1: Performance test results of cationic epoxy adhesives for electronic protection in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3
[0134]
[0135]
[0136] The test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 show that when the step of reacting alicyclic epoxy resin with perfluorobutanol is omitted in S1, the viscosity of the adhesive increases. This is because the intermolecular interaction force between polar groups in the alicyclic epoxy resin without fluorocarbon chains is enhanced, and the molecular chain fluidity is significantly reduced, resulting in increased viscosity. At the same time, due to the lack of hydrophobic properties of fluorocarbon chains, the hygroscopicity of the material increases. Polar epoxy groups and hydroxyl groups are more likely to react with water molecules and degrade in humid and hot environments, and corrosive ions are more likely to penetrate and damage the matrix structure.
[0137] The test results from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 show that when using unmodified alicyclic epoxy resin directly, the bulk viscosity of the unmodified alicyclic epoxy resin is low. However, due to the strong hydrogen bonds and dipole-dipole interactions between its intermolecular polar groups, it is easy to form local aggregations, resulting in a slight increase in the viscosity of the system. Since the unmodified alicyclic epoxy resin lacks the hydrophobicity of the fluorocarbon chain and the flexible structure introduced by the silicon-oxygen chain segment, the polar epoxy groups and hydroxyl groups are highly hygroscopic in humid and hot environments, leading to material deterioration. Furthermore, the unmodified alicyclic epoxy resin lacks fluorosilicone synergistic protection, and corrosive ions directly attack the interface, significantly reducing its corrosion resistance.
[0138] The test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 show that when only UV curing is used without adding microencapsulated BF3-MEA, the adhesive viscosity decreases slightly. This is because omitting the microencapsulated curing agent reduces the number of solid particles in the system, resulting in a slight increase in system fluidity. However, due to insufficient UV curing depth, the material is not fully cured internally, resulting in low crosslinking density, increased hygroscopicity, and easy deterioration in humid and hot environments. Furthermore, UV curing alone leads to a large number of curing defects inside the material, which accelerates the penetration of corrosive ions at the defects, severely reducing corrosion resistance.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
