Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of epoxy resin curing agents and functional epoxy resins, specifically to phosphorus-containing phenolic multifunctional curing agents, their preparation methods, and their heat-resistant and flame-retardant epoxy resins. Background Technology
[0002] Epoxy resins are widely used in adhesives, coatings, electronic packaging, engineering composites, and civil engineering materials due to their excellent adhesive strength, low curing shrinkage, high mechanical strength, good electrical insulation, and processability. As the core component of the epoxy curing system, the structure and properties of the curing agent directly determine the quality of the final cured product. Among them, phenolic amine curing agents, prepared by the Mannich reaction of phenols, aldehydes, and lower aliphatic amines, are one of the most widely used epoxy resin curing agents.
[0003] The phenolic hydroxyl groups introduced into the molecular structure of phenolic amine curing agents can significantly activate the curing reaction, giving them the ability to cure rapidly in low-temperature and humid environments, effectively reducing construction difficulty and cost. At the same time, the phenolic skeleton structure introduced into the molecule can significantly improve the rigidity and thermal stability of the epoxy crosslinking network, and overcome the defects of traditional low-grade aliphatic amine curing agents (ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, etc.) such as high volatility, high irritation and high toxicity.
[0004] However, existing phenolic amine curing agents contain a large number of rigid benzene rings in their molecular structure, resulting in high crosslinking density and poor molecular chain flexibility in the cured products. This high rigidity structure causes the cured products to have problems such as high brittleness, insufficient flexibility, poor fatigue resistance and impact resistance. When subjected to external impact or long-term vibration load, cracks are easily generated and propagated, which seriously restricts their service life and reliability in high-end fields.
[0005] While there are reports in the prior art of toughening epoxy curing products by introducing flexible segments into phenolic amine curing agents, simply introducing flexible segments can improve impact toughness, but it will significantly reduce the mechanical strength (such as tensile strength) and heat resistance of epoxy curing products, making it difficult to achieve a synergistic balance between mechanical properties and heat resistance.
[0006] Furthermore, the molecular skeleton of general-purpose epoxy resins such as bisphenol A is rich in carbon-hydrogen bonds, making them flammable materials that easily release large amounts of smoke and toxic gases when burned. Currently, the mainstream flame-retardant modification method is physical blending, which involves adding flame retardants to the resin matrix. While this process is simple, flame retardants are prone to migration and precipitation during processing or use, leading to a decrease in flame-retardant effectiveness. Moreover, the addition of large amounts of flame retardants may degrade the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the resin matrix, failing to meet the demands of high-end applications. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention develops a multifunctional phenolic amine curing agent grafted with flexible ether chains, flame-retardant DOPO groups, and nano-reinforced POSS structures through molecular structure design and a flexible-rigid synergistic regulation strategy. The curing agent is used to cure epoxy resin, and the resulting epoxy resin cured product has high heat resistance, excellent strength-toughness balance, and efficient phosphorus-silicon-nitrogen synergistic intrinsic flame retardant properties.

The mixture is reacted by Mannich reaction in anhydrous ethanol solvent under nitrogen protection at 80±2℃ with stirring and reflux for 4-6 h. Modified phenolic amine is obtained after post-treatment.
[0010] (b) POSS grafting reaction: The modified phenolic amine obtained in step (a) is mixed with chloropropylheptaisobutyl POSS at a mass ratio of 1:(0.05-0.15). The reaction is carried out by amino-chloro nucleophilic substitution reaction in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran solvent under nitrogen protection at 60±2℃ for 10-14h with stirring. After post-treatment, a phosphorus-containing phenolic multifunctional curing agent is obtained.
[0011] Preferably, the method for preparing the DOPO-type phenol monomer containing a flexible ether chain is as follows:
[0012] Based on the addition reaction mechanism of hydroxy-isocyanate group, an acrylate monomer containing a flexible ether chain is obtained by reacting 1 molar equivalent of polyethylene glycol monomer with 2.01-2.05 molar equivalents of ethyl isocyanate. The polyethylene glycol monomer is one of triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, pentaethylene glycol, and hexaethylene glycol.
[0013] Based on the Kabachnik-Fields reaction mechanism, a DOPO-type phenol monomer containing a secondary amine group was obtained by condensation reaction of 1 molar equivalent of 4-hydroxybenzylamine, 0.95-0.99 molar equivalents of DOPO and 0.95-0.99 molar equivalents of paraformaldehyde.
[0014] Based on the addition reaction mechanism of acrylate group-secondary amine group, DOPO type phenol monomer containing flexible ether group is obtained by adding 1 molar equivalent of acrylate group monomer containing flexible ether chain to 2.01-2.05 molar equivalent of DOPO type phenol monomer containing secondary amine group.
[0015] The amine value of the phosphorus-containing phenolic multifunctional curing agent prepared according to the above method is 330-380 mgKOH / g.
[0016] The heat-resistant and flame-retardant epoxy resin is prepared by curing bisphenol A epoxy resin with the above-mentioned phosphorus-containing phenolic multifunctional curing agent.

[0021] 0.2-0.7 parts by weight of curing accelerator.
[0022] Preferably, the bisphenol A epoxy resin is of type E-51.

[0024] Step 1: According to the formula of heat-resistant and flame-retardant epoxy resin, add diluent to bisphenol A epoxy resin and stir at 400-600 r / min for 5-15 min. Then add phosphorus-containing phenolic multifunctional curing agent and curing accelerator and stir at 800-1200 r / min for 5-15 min. During the mixing process, ensure that the material temperature does not exceed 30℃. Vacuum defoaming at low speed is performed to obtain epoxy slurry.
[0025] Step 2: Pour the epoxy slurry into a polytetrafluoroethylene mold coated with a release agent, and cure it using a stepped temperature curing process: first cure at 75-85℃ for 0.8-1.2h, then raise the temperature to 110-125℃ for 0.8-1.2h, and finally cure at 130-150℃ for 0.5-1.2h. Cool and demold to obtain heat-resistant and flame-retardant epoxy resin.
[0026] Beneficial effects:
[0027] This invention uses a polyethylene glycol monomer (tetraethylene glycol) as a flexible molecular framework to synthesize a phenol monomer (a DOPO-type phenol monomer containing a flexible ether chain) through molecular design, which combines a flexible ether chain and a flame-retardant DOPO group. First, a modified phenolic amine is prepared by reacting this phenol monomer with conventional phenol, paraformaldehyde, and triethylenetetramine via the Mannich reaction. Then, it is compounded with chloropropylheptaisobutyl POSS, which has a nano-reinforcing effect, through an amino-chlorine nucleophilic substitution reaction to obtain a multifunctional phenolic amine curing agent (a phosphorus-containing phenolic multifunctional curing agent) grafted with a flexible ether chain, a flame-retardant DOPO group, and a nano-reinforcing POSS structure.
