Description

Technical Field

[0002] Photopolymerization technology is a green and environmentally friendly technology that uses ultraviolet light to initiate the polymerization of small organic molecules into polymer materials. Vegetable oil is a renewable and inexpensive biomass resource, widely used in coatings, inks, pesticide adjuvants, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, demonstrating good renewability and application potential. However, due to the poor uniformity of raw materials, limited and inert active sites, and high molecular chain flexibility of vegetable oils, the resulting materials often exhibit unsatisfactory performance. Traditional vegetable oil-based photocurable resins, such as epoxidized soybean oil acrylate (AESO), suffer from poor mechanical and thermal properties, making it difficult to replace traditional petroleum-based photocurable resins.

The molar ratio of epoxidized soybean oleate phenyl ester, acrylic acid, triphenylphosphine and hydroquinone was 1:3:0.5:0.07.

[0050] Preparation of vegetable oil-based photocurable resin: Dilute monomer trimethylolpropane triacrylate and photoinitiator diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide were added to vegetable oil-based acrylate prepolymer. The amount of dilute monomer was 30% of the mass of the obtained prepolymer, and the amount of photoinitiator was 2% of the total mass of the dilute monomer and vegetable oil-based acrylate prepolymer. The mixture was stirred evenly and degassed to obtain a photocurable resin (PhAESO-TMPTA30) based on vegetable oil and phloroglucinol.

[0051] The photocurable resins based on vegetable oil and phloroglucinol from Examples 3-6 were photocured using a JFUV-12B2M32 surface light source UV-LED photocuring device to obtain photocurable 3D printing resin samples. The tensile properties of the photocurable 3D printing resin samples were then tested. The samples were cut into 1 cm × 3 cm rectangular strips and tested using an MTS electronic universal testing machine at 50 mm / min. -1 The samples were stretched at a certain rate to test their tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus. Each sample was stretched at least 5 times, and the final result was the average value.

[0052] The tensile properties of the photocured 3D printing resin samples obtained in Examples 3-6 are shown in Table 3, and the mechanical property diagrams are shown in Figure 4. Figure 5As shown in the figure. Comparison revealed that Example 3, which combined PhAESO with hydroxyethyl methacrylate, produced a photocurable 3D printing resin sample with a tensile strength of 18.4 MPa, an elongation at break of 31.30%, and a Young's modulus of 274.56 MPa, exhibiting good tensile properties. The photocurable 3D printing resin sample obtained in Example 4 showed significantly lower tensile properties than other photocurable 3D printing resin samples, indicating that hydroxyethyl acrylate and PhAESO cannot produce a photocurable material with good tensile properties. Example 6, which combined PhAESO with trimethylolpropane triacrylate, produced a photocurable 3D printing resin sample with the highest Young's modulus (527.46 MPa) and the lowest elongation at break (4.69%). In conclusion, hydroxyethyl methacrylate is the preferred diluent monomer.

[0070] The AESO-HEMA50 of Comparative Example 2 was photocured to obtain a photocurable 3D printing resin sample. Then, the photocurable 3D printing resin samples prepared in Example 9 and Comparative Example 2 were subjected to 3D printing to determine the penetration depth, critical exposure energy, and correlation (R). 2 The results are shown in Table 5, and the working curve test graph is shown below. Figure 10 As shown in Table 5, the 3D printing resin samples prepared by this invention have lower penetration depth and critical exposure energy. This indicates that PhAESO, compared to AESO, reduces the penetration depth and critical exposure energy of the photocurable material, thus facilitating high-precision 3D printing. Furthermore, a lower critical exposure energy results in less energy loss during printing. The material exhibits lower penetration depth and volume shrinkage, promising for the creation of high-precision 3D printed crafts, molds, and other products.
