TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermosetting resin and its preparation, and particularly relates to a biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine resin and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Benzoxazine resin is a kind of thermosetting resin similar to epoxy resin, which has the advantages of rich raw material selection, low dielectric constant, low surface energy, good hydrophobicity, high glass transition temperature, excellent mechanical properties, no small molecule release in curing process and low curing shrinkage, and has very wide application scenarios. Benzoxazine is a N, O-containing six-membered heterocyclic compound, which is formed by Mannich reaction of phenols, amines and formaldehyde or polyformaldehyde. Traditional benzoxazine is mainly prepared from petroleum-based compounds such as bisphenol A, phenol, methylamine, aniline and formaldehyde. However, with the overuse of fossil fuels, many negative effects have been brought to people's daily life. Therefore, searching for new renewable resources has become the focus of researchers. Therefore, biomass benzoxazine resin as a new type of material has become a hot spot in the field of thermosetting resin research.
[0003] Equol (chemical name: 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-chromanols) contains two phenolic hydroxyl groups and a dihydrobenzopyran ring in the molecule, is an important organic synthesis intermediate and monomer of polymer derived from biomass. At the same time, equol is also a derivative of daidzein, which is produced by intestinal bacteria of humans and animals, and is converted from waste by-products of the soybean industry in industry. It has not been used as a phenolic source for the synthesis of benzoxazine before. It can be synthesized by industrial methods including microbial fermentation, chemical synthesis and biological enzyme catalysis, and can be mass-produced. Furfurylamine is a kind of bio-based primary amine prepared by green reductive amination process using furfural or furfuryl alcohol as raw material. Furfurylamine can be obtained by one-step dilute acid dehydration-decarboxylation of agricultural and forestry by-product hemicellulose such as corn cob, sugarcane bagasse and cottonseed hull, and the process is mature and has realized commercial production of ten thousand tons. The benzoxazine resin produced by equol as phenolic source and furfurylamine as amine source in the present application is paid more and more attention, which can get rid of the excessive dependence of traditional benzoxazine resin on petroleum products.

[0029] The present application is further described in conjunction with the following examples. It should be noted that the following examples are intended to provide further illustration of the present application. Unless otherwise indicated, all scientific and technical terms used in connection with the present application have the same meaning as those of the skilled in the art to which the present application pertains. Example
[0030] The preparation method of biomass benzoxazine resin of the present application comprises the following steps:
[0031] (1) A three-necked round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a spherical condenser, a thermometer and 0.03 mol equol, 0.06 mol furfurylamine and 0.12 mol formaldehyde were added directly, followed by the addition of 60 ml toluene and 30 ml ethanol as solvents. The mixture was heated to reflux and reacted at constant temperature for 14 hours. The excess solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. Then n-hexane was directly added to precipitate the product. The product was separated from n-hexane by filtration and then placed in an oven for drying for 24 h to obtain a white powder, i.e. equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer, with a yield of 88.2%.
[0032] (2) The bisphenol amine type benzoxazine monomer obtained in step (1) was placed in a mold prepared in advance, and then placed in a forced air drying oven for stepwise curing (the stepwise curing temperature was the same as that of the comparative example) to obtain a thermosetting biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine resin. Example
[0033] The biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine resin and the intermediate product benzoxazine monomer obtained in Example 1 were subjected to relevant index detection, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figures 1-4
[0034] Figure 1 The FTIR spectrum of biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer is shown in Figure 1. As can be seen from the figure, the asymmetric peak and the stretching vibration peak of the oxazine ring (C-O-C) can be observed at 1015, 1228 cm -1 , and the peak at 927 cm -1 is a typical absorption peak of the oxazine ring. The typical spectral bands at 738, 1090, 1490 cm -1 are respectively the stretching of C=C double bond, the anti-symmetrical stretching vibration of C-O and the out-of-plane wagging deformation, which confirms the presence of furan groups in Eq-fa and confirms the synthesis of equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer.
[0035] Figure 2 The biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer 1 HNMR spectrum. As can be seen from the figure: there are characteristic peaks of oxazine ring at 3.78~3.82 ppm (Ph-CH2-N) and at 4.74~4.80 ppm (O-CH2-N). Since the H of 11 and the H of 12 are non-enantiomeric relationship, the chemical / magnetic environment is no longer symmetrical, so the H of 11 and 12 should have two chemical shifts. It is worth noting that in 6.75 ppm, there is a small peak of about 0.3 H, and 0.7 H at 6.86 ppm is the same position H, and their content ratio is about 2:1, and we can also observe that 11, 11'; 13, 13'; 15, 15' also exist similar H number ratio, from these NMR peaks we can infer that the product obtained exists position isomerism isomer. We name it as Eq-fa-1 and Eq-fa-2, according to 1 The peak area ratio in HNMR can approximately obtain the ratio of 2:1 (Eq-fa-1: Eq-fa-2).
[0036] Therefore, from FT-IR and 1 H NMR spectrum, the structure of the prepared product is consistent with that of the target product, i.e. the structure of the biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer.
[0037] Figure 3 DSC spectrum of the biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer at different heating rates. As can be seen from the figure: at the heating rate of 2.5 ℃ / min and 5 ℃ / min, two melting peaks can be obviously seen, which further explains that the product exists isomer. We can also see that there is a long temperature interval between the melting peak and the solidification peak, which shows that the biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine monomer has good processing performance.
[0038] Figure 4 TG and DTG spectrum of the cured biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine resin. As can be seen from the figure: the initial decomposition temperature (T d5% ) of the new biomass equol-furfurylamine type benzoxazine resin is as high as 369 ℃, and the carbon residue retention rate at 800 ℃ is as high as 51.9%. The TG result shows that the new biomass benzoxazine resin has good heat resistance and high carbon residue retention rate.
