Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bio-based adhesive materials and their application technology, specifically relating to a second-order reactive epoxy adhesive modified with Eucommia ulmoides gum and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy adhesives, due to their excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, are widely used in road and bridge paving projects for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete substrates and asphalt pavement layers. They are key functional materials for achieving the integrity and long-term service performance of pavement structures. Although staged curing epoxy adhesive systems have been developed, allowing for gradual strength development within different temperature ranges to adapt to on-site construction requirements, issues remain regarding excessively high post-curing strength and insufficient flexibility. This leads to stress concentration under alternating temperatures and dynamic load coupling, causing interfacial delamination or pavement cracking. Furthermore, traditional epoxy adhesives largely rely on petroleum-based raw materials; in the context of green and low-carbon development, their sustainability and environmental friendliness urgently need improvement.

S3. After cooling to room temperature, add sodium sulfite aqueous solution and stir for 30 minutes. Then add ethanol and continue stirring for 10 minutes. After filtration, washing and drying, epoxidized Eucommia gum is obtained. The mass ratio of component A to component B is 100:60~100.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, in step S1, the Eucommia gum is Eucommia gum with a natural Eucommia gum content of ≥98%, which can be purchased from Shaanxi Mufan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, in step S1, the mixed solvent is a mixed solvent of toluene and petroleum ether in a volume ratio of 1:1.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, the amount of tetraalkylammonium molybdate used in step S2 is 0.05 to 0.50% of the mass of Eucommia ulmoides gum.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, the amount of tert-butyl hydroperoxide used in step S2 is 5 to 25% of the mass of Eucommia ulmoides gum.

[0009] According to one aspect of the present invention, the liquid epoxy resin is a liquid bisphenol A type epoxy resin with an epoxy value of 4.2 to 5.3 mmol / g, such as E51 epoxy resin from Sinopec Baling Branch.

[0010] According to one aspect of the present invention, the monofunctional active diluent is one of C8-decyl glycidyl ether, C12-tetradecyl glycidyl ether, C12-tweldedecyl glycidyl ether, or C12-decyl glycidyl ether.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the bifunctional active diluent is one of neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether and 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether.

[0012] According to one aspect of the present invention, the plant oleic acid is one of myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, tung oil acid, and ricinoleic acid.

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, the coupling agent is KH560, the thixotropic agent is Evonik Silica AEROSILA200, the defoamer is Anjeka-5680A defoamer from Ezhou Anjikang Technology Co., Ltd., the cashew nut shell modified phenolic amine curing agent is XY-3209 cashew nut shell modified phenolic amine curing agent from Shanghai Xuanyuan New Material Technology Co., Ltd., and the modified polyamide curing agent is TY5324 modified polyamide curing agent from Jining Fangde Chemical Co., Ltd.

Add epoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum to monofunctional reactive diluent and difunctional reactive diluent, and heat to 70°C while stirring. After the epoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum is completely dissolved, add liquid epoxy resin, defoamer and coupling agent, and disperse at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Then add thixotropic agent and disperse at high speed for 3 to 5 minutes to obtain component A. S2. Add anhydrous citric acid to cashew phenol-modified phenolic amine curing agent and modified polyamide curing agent, and heat to 70°C while stirring. After the anhydrous citric acid is completely dissolved, cool to room temperature, then add vegetable oleic acid and 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, and disperse at high speed for 1-2 minutes to obtain component B. S3. Seal components A and B separately. When using, mix them thoroughly according to the specified ratio.

[0015] The eucommia gum-modified two-stage reactive epoxy adhesive of the present invention is first cured at 5~40℃ for 1~3 days to complete the first stage of curing, and then cured at 80~120℃ for 10~45 minutes to complete the second stage of curing.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The Eucommia ulmoides gum-modified two-stage reactive epoxy adhesive of the present invention has two-stage reaction characteristics. First, at room temperature, the cashew phenol-modified phenolic amine curing agent and the modified polyamide curing agent can undergo a primary curing reaction with component A to achieve surface drying. Second, at high temperature, due to the softening caused by heat, it exhibits a flowable state. At the same time, under the action of 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, the carboxyl groups of vegetable oleic acid and anhydrous citric acid can undergo a secondary curing reaction with component A to achieve final curing.

[0017] The eucommia gum-modified two-stage reactive epoxy adhesive of the present invention uses epoxidized eucommia gum rich in cis-butadiene rubber segments, and vegetable oleic acid containing a large number of long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon segments, monofunctional reactive diluent, bifunctional reactive diluent, cashew phenol-modified phenolic amine curing agent, etc., combined with moderate crosslinking of two-stage curing, to synergistically give the epoxy adhesive excellent flexibility.

[0018] The second-stage reactive epoxy adhesive modified with Eucommia ulmoides gum of the present invention uses epoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum similar to cis-butadiene rubber, and monofunctional reactive diluents, bifunctional reactive diluents, vegetable oleic acid, etc. containing a large number of long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon segments. When paving high-temperature asphalt mixtures, the heated epoxy adhesive exhibits a fluid dynamic. The large number of long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons have strong compatibility with non-polar asphalt and can penetrate and entangle with each other at the interface, thereby improving the bonding strength between the epoxy adhesive and the asphalt mixture.

[0019] The two-stage reactive epoxy adhesive modified with Eucommia ulmoides gum of the present invention uses bio-based raw materials such as Eucommia ulmoides gum, vegetable oleic acid, cashew phenol, and citric acid directly or indirectly, which reduces the consumption of petroleum-based raw materials and improves the green environmental protection and renewability of epoxy adhesives.

[0020] The Eucommia ulmoides-modified epoxy adhesive provided by this invention achieves synergistic effects among its components through optimized selection and scientific formulation, thereby possessing advantages such as second-order reaction characteristics, high flexibility, high bonding strength, and green environmental protection and recyclability. It is especially suitable for waterproof bonding between steel or concrete base surfaces and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges, etc. Detailed Implementation

[0040] The epoxy value of the epoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum is 0.93 mmol / g; the preparation methods of the epoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum and the Eucommia ulmoides gum-modified second-order reactive epoxy adhesive are the same as in Example 1.

[0041] The second-order reaction characteristic test of the epoxy adhesives in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 included three process tests. Passing all three process tests indicates the presence of second-order reaction characteristics. Specifically: after curing at 23℃ for 1 day, it is considered primary curing and should be surface dry; after primary curing, heating to 150℃ should result in a viscous consistency with slight flow; after curing at 100℃ for 30 minutes, it is considered secondary curing and should be non-flowable after heating to 150℃. The tensile strength, elongation at break, bond strength (with steel plate, 25℃), bond strength (with C45 concrete, 25℃), bond strength (with epoxy asphalt mixture, 25℃), and bond strength (with modified asphalt mixture, 25℃) of the epoxy adhesives in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were all tested according to the "Technical Specification for Design and Construction of Highway Steel Bridge Deck Pavement" JTG / T3364-02-2019. The bio-based content of the epoxy adhesives in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 is the percentage of the total mass of bio-based raw materials. The relevant results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Performance test results of epoxy adhesives in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0042] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 in Table 1, the epoxy adhesive of the present invention has the characteristics of second-order reaction, high flexibility, high bonding strength, green environmental protection and renewable (high bio-based content), and is very suitable for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete base surfaces and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges and other projects.

[0043] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 1 used unepoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum, resulting in poor tensile strength, low bond strength (with steel plate, 25°C), and low bond strength (with C45 concrete, 25°C) of the epoxy adhesive prepared in Comparative Example 1. Consequently, it was unsuitable for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete substrates and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges, etc. Therefore, it can be demonstrated that epoxidized Eucommia ulmoides gum is crucial to the flexibility and bond strength of epoxy adhesives.

[0044] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 2 uses a cashew nut shell modified phenolic amine curing agent, resulting in low elongation at break, low bond strength (with epoxy asphalt mixture, 25°C), and low bond strength (with modified asphalt mixture, 25°C) of the epoxy adhesive prepared in Comparative Example 2. Therefore, it is unsuitable for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete substrates and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges, etc. Simultaneously, the bio-based content is also reduced, resulting in poor environmental friendliness and renewability. Therefore, it can be proven that a cashew nut shell modified phenolic amine curing agent is a necessary condition for ensuring the flexibility, bond strength, and renewability of epoxy adhesives.

[0045] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 3 did not introduce vegetable oleic acid, resulting in the epoxy adhesive prepared in Comparative Example 3 failing to meet the requirements for second-order reaction characteristics after initial curing and heating, as well as exhibiting low elongation at break, low bond strength (with epoxy asphalt mixture, 25℃), and low bond strength (with modified asphalt mixture, 25℃). Consequently, it is unsuitable for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete substrates and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges, etc. Simultaneously, the bio-based content is also reduced, leading to poor environmental friendliness and renewability. Therefore, it can be demonstrated that vegetable oleic acid is a necessary condition for ensuring the second-order reaction characteristics, flexibility, bond strength, and renewability of epoxy adhesives.

[0046] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 4 did not introduce anhydrous citric acid, resulting in poor tensile strength, low bond strength (with steel plate, 25°C), and low bond strength (with C45 concrete, 25°C) of the epoxy adhesive prepared in Comparative Example 4. Consequently, it was unsuitable for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete substrates and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges, etc. Therefore, it can be proven that anhydrous citric acid is a necessary condition to ensure the flexibility and bond strength of epoxy adhesives.

[0047] As can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 5, Comparative Example 5 did not introduce 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, resulting in the epoxy adhesive prepared in Comparative Example 5 failing to meet the requirements for the second-order reaction characteristics after secondary curing and heating. Furthermore, it exhibited low tensile strength, low elongation at break, low bond strength (with steel plate, 25°C), low bond strength (with C45 concrete, 25°C), low bond strength (with epoxy asphalt mixture, 25°C), and low bond strength (with modified asphalt mixture, 25°C). Consequently, it was unsuitable for waterproof bonding between steel and concrete substrates and asphalt pavement layers in roads, bridges, etc. Therefore, it can be demonstrated that 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole is a necessary condition for ensuring the second-order reaction characteristics, flexibility, and bond strength of epoxy adhesives.

[0048] In order to achieve the best synergistic effect and optimal performance, the components of the two-stage reactive epoxy adhesive modified with Eucommia ulmoides gum of this invention must reach a scientific balance.

[0049] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
