Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of adhesive technology, specifically to an epoxy resin adhesive, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy resin adhesives are widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and electronic packaging due to their excellent bonding strength, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation. However, the inherent defects of epoxy resins after curing, such as high crosslinking density, brittleness, and poor impact resistance, have long limited their reliability under dynamic loads and extreme environments. To solve this problem, existing technologies mainly use liquid rubber (such as carboxyl-terminated nitrile rubber CTBN), rigid nanoparticles (such as nano-SiO2), or thermoplastic resins (such as polyetherimide PEI) for toughening modification. More importantly, none of the above methods can impart a removable adhesive layer. For high-value components in aerospace, new energy vehicles, and other fields, if defects occur after bonding or recycling is required, destructive disassembly is often the only option, resulting in serious waste.

[0003] However, all of the above methods have inherent limitations: liquid rubber toughening can improve impact strength, but it will significantly reduce the glass transition temperature (Tg) and modulus of the material, sacrificing heat resistance; nanoparticle toughening faces difficulties in dispersion and interfacial compatibility, and the toughening effect is limited; thermoplastic resin toughening often leads to a sharp increase in system viscosity and deterioration of process performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem that existing epoxy resin adhesives are difficult to combine high impact strength, high Tg, and good bonding and disassembly performance.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an epoxy resin adhesive comprising the following components in parts by weight: 60 parts epoxy resin, 5-10 parts modified toughening agent, 5-15 parts curing agent, 10-30 parts filler, and 2-5 parts colorant. The modified toughening agent is prepared through the following steps: Step 1: Dissolve polyethylene glycol (PEG) in deionized water and add α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) to react; The hydrophilic chains of PEG are in an extended state in water. The hydrophobic cavity of α-CD can self-assemble with the PEG chain through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions to form a quasi-rotaxane structure, which is a classic reaction in supramolecular chemistry. Step 2: Add 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyano-4-methylbenzene) and react to precipitate, wash, and dry to obtain the intermediate product; PEG has hydroxyl groups at both ends, which react with isocyanate groups to form urethane bonds, forming large-volume end-capping groups, locking α-CD onto the PEG chain to form [2] rotaxane; at the same time, disulfide bonds are introduced; Step 3: The intermediate product is polymerized with bio-based polyester polyol and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) to obtain the modified toughening agent.

[0006] The intermediate product is a rotaxane structural unit with isocyanate groups at both ends, which can react with the hydroxyl groups of bio-based polyester polyols to form a block copolymer structure. IPDI is used as a chain extender to adjust the molecular weight.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the epoxy resin adhesive of the present invention has the following beneficial effects, but not limited to: a modified toughening agent is introduced into the epoxy resin adhesive. The modified toughening agent is formed by self-assembling polyethylene glycol and α-cyclodextrin to form a rotaxane-like structure, and then end-capped by isocyanate containing disulfide bonds in 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyano-4-methylbenzene) to construct a rotaxane structural unit [2] and embed it into the polyurethane backbone. After the toughening agent is blended and cured with epoxy resin, the rotaxane structure is uniformly dispersed in the epoxy crosslinking network. When subjected to external impact, the α-CD ring can slide along the polyethylene glycol chain to generate a pulley effect, which disperses the local stress to a larger range and effectively dissipates the impact energy, thereby greatly improving the toughness of the adhesive. At the same time, since the rotaxane structure is not chemically bonded to the epoxy body, its sliding motion does not destroy the integrity of the crosslinking network. Therefore, the glass transition temperature can be kept from decreasing while toughening.

[0008] Furthermore, the aromatic disulfide bonds in 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyano-4-methylbenzene) can undergo reversible breakage and recombination under heating or reducing conditions. When the cured adhesive layer is exposed to a solution containing dithiol and heated, the disulfide bonds undergo an exchange reaction, leading to the dissociation of the rotaxane structure and the degradation of the crosslinked network, thereby enabling the controlled disassembly of the adhesive layer. This function is of great significance for the repair, upgrading, and recycling of high-value components such as aerospace structural parts, new energy vehicle battery packs, and precision electronic components.

[0009] Preferably, in steps 1-3, the mass ratio of polyethylene glycol, α-cyclodextrin and 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyano-4-methylbenzene) is 1:(1.1-1.5):(2.2-2.8); the mass ratio of the intermediate product to the bio-based polyester polyol and isophorone diisocyanate is 1:(4-8):(1-3).

[0010] Specifically, controlling the mass ratio of polyethylene glycol, α-cyclodextrin, and 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyanate-4-methylbenzene) within the range of 1:(1.1-1.5):(2.2-2.8) ensures that α-cyclodextrin is fully wrapped around the polyethylene glycol chain (with a slight excess of α-cyclodextrin), while ensuring sufficient 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyanate-4-methylbenzene) to completely seal both ends. Controlling the mass ratio of the intermediate product to bio-based polyester polyol and isophorone diisocyanate within the range of 1:(4-8):(1-3) allows the rotaxane structural units to be uniformly embedded in the polyurethane main chain, ensuring both toughening effect and avoiding compatibility degradation due to excessive rotaxane units.

[0011] Preferably, in step 1, the reaction conditions are: stirring at 100-300 rpm for 12-24 hours at 20-30°C.

[0012] Preferably, in step 1, the number-average molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol is 1000-4000.

[0013] Preferably, in step 1, the purity of the α-cyclodextrin is ≥98%.

[0014] Preferably, in step 2, the reaction conditions are as follows: the catalyst is added under nitrogen protection, and the reaction is carried out at 50-70°C with stirring at 100-300 rpm for 6-12 hours.

[0015] Specifically, the mild conditions are conducive to the self-assembly process of polyethylene glycol and α-cyclodextrin. Too high a temperature will destroy hydrogen bonding and lead to dissociation, while too low a temperature will result in a slow assembly rate. A moderate rotation speed ensures uniform mixing without shear damage. Sufficient reaction time ensures complete formation of quasi-rotaxanes.

[0016] Preferably, the catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate or stannous octoate, and the amount of catalyst added is 0.05-0.2 wt% of 1,1'-dithiobis(3-isocyano-4-methylbenzene).

[0017] Specifically, nitrogen protection prevents isocyanate groups from reacting with moisture in the air; a catalyst accelerates the reaction between isocyanate and hydroxyl groups; temperature control at 50-70℃ ensures the reaction rate while avoiding side reactions; and sufficient reaction time ensures complete end-capping.

[0018] Preferably, in step 3, the polymerization reaction is carried out under nitrogen protection at 70-90°C with stirring at 100-300 rpm for 4-8 hours.

[0019] Specifically, this temperature range is suitable for the chain extension reaction of polyurethane, ensuring the reaction rate while avoiding side reactions caused by high temperatures; nitrogen protection prevents isocyanate groups from reacting with moisture; and sufficient reaction time ensures that the molecular weight increases to an appropriate range.

[0020] Preferably, the epoxy resin is one or more of bisphenol A type epoxy resin, bisphenol F type epoxy resin, and phenolic epoxy resin.

[0021] Preferably, the curing agent is dicyandiamide, and the particle size D90 of the dicyandiamide is <10 μm.

[0022] Specifically, dicyandiamide is a commonly used latent curing agent for epoxy resins. When mixed with epoxy resins, it is stable at room temperature (for more than 6 months) and cures rapidly when heated to 145-160℃, making it suitable for the industrial application of single-component epoxy adhesives. Controlling the particle size of dicyandiamide to D90 < 10 μm ensures that it is uniformly dispersed in epoxy resins, and that the curing reaction proceeds uniformly, avoiding internal stress and uneven performance caused by localized curing agent aggregation.

[0023] Preferably, the filler is aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide with an average particle size of 1-10 μm.

[0024] Specifically, aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardants. When heated, they decompose and release water of crystallization, absorb heat and dilute combustible gases, and at the same time generate an oxide heat insulation layer, which can improve the flame retardancy rating of epoxy resin from V-1 to V-0. By controlling the particle size within the range of 1-10um, it is possible to ensure good dispersion of fillers in resin without causing agglomeration or excessive viscosity of the system due to excessively small particle size.

[0025] Preferably, the colorant is carbon black.

[0026] In this invention, carbon black not only serves as a coloring agent but also has a thixotropic regulating function: the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of carbon black nanoparticles can form hydrogen bonds with epoxy resin, improving the thixotropy of the adhesive (thixotropic index ≥1.7 at 90℃), preventing filler from settling during storage and curing, and avoiding sagging during vertical surface construction.

[0027] Secondly, the present invention discloses a preparation method for preparing the epoxy resin adhesive as described above, comprising the following steps: S1. Weigh the epoxy resin, modified toughening agent, curing agent, filler and colorant according to the weight ratio; S2. Add epoxy resin and modified toughening agent to the reaction vessel and stir and mix at 60-80℃ for 30-60 minutes. S3. Add curing agent, filler and colorant, and disperse at 1000-2000 rpm for 40-60 min under vacuum conditions at 80-100℃; S4. Cool to below 40°C, filter, degas, and package to obtain the epoxy resin adhesive.

[0028] The preparation method uses conventional reaction vessel equipment and can be obtained through steps such as premixing, high-speed dispersion, cooling and filtration. The process is simple, requires no special equipment or harsh conditions, and is easy to achieve industrial-scale production.

[0029] Thirdly, the present invention also discloses the application of the epoxy resin adhesive described above in the bonding of aerospace structural components, the encapsulation of new energy vehicle battery packs, the encapsulation of electronic components, or the reversible bonding of high-value components.

[0030] Aerospace structural components have extremely high requirements for material strength, toughness, and weather resistance. The adhesive of this invention combines high strength and high toughness, meeting the requirements for use in extreme environments. New energy vehicle battery packs have special requirements for flame retardancy and maintainability. The flame-retardant filler and reversible bonding function of this invention can simultaneously meet safety requirements and the disassembly and maintenance needs of battery modules. Electronic component packaging has strict requirements for heat resistance and insulation. The adhesive of this invention has a Tg ≥ 122℃, and its conductivity / insulation properties can be adjusted by carbon black. Reversible bonding of high-value components is one of the core advantages of this invention. Utilizing the dynamic reversible properties of disulfide bonds, controllable disassembly can be achieved under specific conditions, providing a guarantee for the repair, upgrading, and recycling of components.

[0053] Comparative Example 1

[0054] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the modified toughening agent used in Example 1 was omitted; all other steps and conditions were exactly the same as in Example 1, and the epoxy resin adhesive was finally obtained.

[0055] Comparative Example 2

[0056] The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the modified toughening agent in Example 1 was replaced with a commercially available epoxy resin adhesive (DP460, 3M). TM Scotch-Weld TM Other steps and conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1, and the epoxy resin adhesive is finally obtained.

[0057] The epoxy resin adhesives prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to performance tests. The test items and test methods are as follows: Shear strength: Tested according to GB / T 7124-2008 "Determination of tensile shear strength of adhesives (rigid material to rigid material)"; the substrate is 2024 aluminum alloy with dimensions of 100mm×25mm×1.6mm; the bonding area is 12.5mm×25mm, and the adhesive layer thickness is controlled at 0.2mm; 5 specimens are prepared for each group of samples, and the universal testing machine is used to test them at a loading rate of 5mm / min. The arithmetic mean is taken as the final result, accurate to 0.1MPa.

[0058] Impact strength: Tested according to GB / T 1843-2008 "Determination of Impact Strength of Plastic Cantilever Beams"; the adhesive was cast into unnotched specimens with dimensions of 80mm × 10mm × 4mm; a cantilever beam impact testing machine was used with a pendulum energy of 2.75J, 5 specimens were tested, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the final result, accurate to 0.1 kJ / m². 2 .

[0059] Glass transition temperature (Tg): determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); instrument model: TAInstruments Q2000; test conditions: nitrogen atmosphere, flow rate 50 mL / min; weigh 5-10 mg of the cured gel sample and place it in an aluminum crucible, and heat it from 25℃ to 200℃ at a heating rate of 10℃ / min; take the midpoint of the second scan curve as the glass transition temperature, accurate to 1℃.

[0060] Debonding performance: The specimens prepared according to the shear strength test standard are immersed in an ethanol solution containing 5% (mass fraction) 1,2-ethylenedithiol and heated in an oil bath at 120℃. One specimen is taken out every 5 minutes, and its residual shear strength is tested according to GB / T 7124-2008. The time (minutes) required for the bond strength to drop to below 10% of the initial strength is recorded. If the strength does not decrease significantly after more than 120 minutes, it is recorded as >120.

[0061] The test results are listed in Table 1, as follows: Table 1

[0062] Analysis of the data in Table 1 shows that the shear strength of the epoxy resin adhesives in Examples 1-5 is ≥31.2 MPa and the impact strength is ≥24.6 kJ / m. 2 The Tg values ​​of Examples 1-5 were significantly higher than those of Comparative Examples 1-2, indicating that the modified toughening agent effectively improved the toughness and strength of the adhesive. Meanwhile, the Tg values ​​of Examples 1-5 remained at 122-128℃, showing no significant decrease compared to Comparative Example 1 without the modified toughening agent, and were higher than those of Comparative Example 2. This proves that the toughening mechanism of the present invention does not sacrifice heat resistance and is superior to traditional toughening agents. The epoxy resin adhesives of Examples 1-5 were completely disassembled within 30 minutes in a solution containing dithiol, while the disassembly time of Comparative Examples 1-2 was greater than 120 minutes. This indicates that the addition of the modified toughening agent achieved reversible bonding of the epoxy resin adhesive.

[0063] Example 3 showed the highest impact strength; Example 2 showed the highest Tg, but the impact strength was slightly lower; Examples 4-5 used toughening agents from different preparation examples, and the performance was slightly different but generally excellent, indicating that the overall performance of the epoxy resin adhesive prepared by the preparation method of the present invention can be maintained within a stable range.

[0064] In summary, the epoxy resin adhesive provided by this invention has high strength, high toughness, and excellent heat resistance, and can be widely used in high-value fields such as bonding of aerospace structural components, encapsulation of new energy vehicle battery packs, and encapsulation of electronic components.

[0065] The foregoing has described several embodiments of the present invention in detail, but these descriptions are merely preferred embodiments and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
