Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to polyurethane compositions, composite materials comprising fiber reinforced materials and polyurethane resins obtained from the polyurethane compositions, and methods for preparing the polyurethane compositions. The polyurethane resins have tunable viscosity, long open time, and good physical and mechanical properties, making them suitable for a wide range of composite manufacturing processes and end uses. [Background technology]

[0002] Composite materials are a type of heterogeneous material that contains fiber reinforcement materials to achieve high strength and a polymer matrix to fixate the fibers and protect them from damage. The performance and service life of composite materials not only depend on the reinforcement materials, but also largely on the quality of impregnation and the properties of the polymer resins used. Composite materials typically require that the liquid polymer resin has low viscosity and a long open time to ensure good impregnation quality, while also providing a curing time that allows for adequate manufacturing cycle times. Apart from that, the physical and mechanical properties of the cured resin, such as tensile strength / flexural strength and modulus, are also important for achieving a longer lifespan of the final product.

[0003] Typical Customer Critical Quality (CTQ) measures depend on the manufacturing process and end use of the final composite material.

[0004] For the vacuum infusion process for wind blade applications, a long open time (up to several hours) with tunability and low initial resin viscosity (<150 mPa.s for good infusion quality) is desirable. According to Germanischer Lloyd standards (Rules for Classification and Construction II Materials and Welding, 2: Non-metallic Materials), cured polymers for wind blade infusion must also meet various additional requirements, such as a flexural strength of >100 MPa (ISO 178), a strain rate of >2.5% (ISO 178), and a heat distortion temperature (HDT) of >70°C (ISO 75-2, Mode A).

[0005] Epoxy resins are currently the dominant resin technology in the wind blade injection market due to their ease of processing (long open time with high adjustability ranging from 1 to 10 hours) and good polymer physical property performance. However, due to their high cost and slow cure profile, there is a need in the market for better performing alternative solutions.

[0006] Conventional polyurethane resins typically consist of two components: an isocyanate and a blended polyol. They represent a cost-effective alternative to epoxy resins, providing polymer properties characterized by high toughness, hardness, and good abrasion and fatigue resistance. However, while the inherently fast reactivity of conventional two-component polyurethane solutions advantageously results in fast cure profiles, they also result in open time values ​​that are too short for certain applications. For this reason, two-component polyurethane solutions are undesirable for composite applications requiring long open times, such as vacuum infusion.

[0007] For the above reasons, there is still a need in the polyurethane manufacturing industry to develop a polyurethane composition having low viscosity, long open time, fast curing profile, and good physical and mechanical properties after curing. After continuous research, the present inventors have surprisingly developed a polyurethane composition that provides low initial viscosity, long open time, high adjustability of reaction profile, and satisfactory physical, mechanical, and thermal properties after curing.

[0015] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Additionally, all publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference.

[0017] definition Numerical ranges disclosed herein include all values ​​between and including the lower and upper limits. Ranges containing explicit values ​​(e.g., ranges of 1, or 2, or 3-5, or 6, or 7) include any subranges between any two explicit values ​​(e.g., the range 1-7 above includes the subranges 1-2, 2-6, 5-7, 3-7, 5-6, etc.).

[0018] Unless stated to the contrary, implicit from the context, or customary in the art, all parts and percentages are by weight and all test methods are current as of the filing date of this disclosure.

[0019] The term "composition" refers to a mixture of materials that comprise the composition, as well as reaction products and decomposition products formed from the materials of the composition.

[0020] The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and their derivatives are not intended to exclude the presence of any additional component, step, or procedure, whether or not that component is specifically disclosed herein. For the avoidance of doubt, all compositions claimed through the use of the term "comprising" may include any additional additive, adjuvant, or compound, whether polymeric or otherwise, unless specifically stated to the contrary. In contrast, the term "consisting essentially of" excludes any other component, step, or procedure from the scope of any succeeding statement, except those that are not essential to operability. The term "consisting of" excludes any component, step, or procedure not expressly delineated or listed. The term "or" refers to the listed members individually as well as in any combination, unless otherwise stated. The use of the singular includes the use of the plural, and vice versa.

[0021] An "isocyanate" is a chemical substance containing at least one isocyanate group in its structure. An isocyanate group is represented by the formula: -N=C=O. An isocyanate containing more than one or at least two isocyanate groups is a "polyisocyanate." An isocyanate with two isocyanate groups is a diisocyanate, an isocyanate with three isocyanate groups is a triisocyanate, and so on. Isocyanates can be aromatic or aliphatic.

[0022] A "polyol" is an organic compound containing multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups. In other words, a polyol contains at least two hydroxyl groups. Non-limiting examples of suitable polyols include diols (containing two hydroxyl groups), triols (containing three hydroxyl groups), and multi-hydroxyl-containing polyols. Polyether polyols may also contain small amounts of monofunctional species (monols), i.e., species with only one hydroxyl group, formed during polyol synthesis as part of a side reaction to form unsaturated species, i.e., species with double bonds.

[0023] A "polyether" is a compound containing two or more ether linking groups in the same linear chain of atoms.

[0024] A "polyester" is a compound containing two or more ester linking groups in the same linear chain of atoms.

[0025] A "polymer" is a polymeric compound prepared by polymerizing monomers of the same or different types. Thus, the generic term "polymer" encompasses the term "homopolymer" (used to refer to a polymer prepared from only one type of monomer, with the understanding that trace amounts of impurities may be incorporated into the polymer structure), and the term "interpolymer" (used interchangeably with the term "copolymer") includes bipolymers (used to refer to a polymer prepared from two different types of monomers), terpolymers (used to refer to a polymer prepared from three different types of monomers), and polymers prepared from four or more different types of monomers. Trace amounts of impurities, such as catalyst residues, may be incorporated into and / or within the polymer. It also encompasses copolymers of all forms, e.g., random, block, etc. While polymers are often referred to as "made from" one or more specific monomers, "based on" a particular monomer or monomer type, or "containing" a particular monomer content, it should be noted that in this context, the term "monomer" is understood to refer to the polymerized remains of a particular monomer, not the unpolymerized species. Generally, polymers herein are based on "units" that are the polymerized form of the corresponding monomers.

[0026] "Hydroxyl number" refers to the content of hydroxyl groups in a polyol.Methods for measuring hydroxyl number are well known to those skilled in the art, and are disclosed, for example, by Houben Weyl, Method der Organischen Chemie, vol. XIV / 2 Makromolekulare Stoffe, p. 17, Georg Thieme Verlag; Stuttgart 1963. "Average equivalent weight" is the average of the equivalent weights associated with the various components in a mixture.When a mixture is formed by different polyols, the average equivalent weight can be calculated as follows: Using one of the various experimental techniques well known in the art, such as titration or infrared spectroscopy, the average OH number of the mixture is measured as OHav: Then, the average equivalent weight is calculated as EWav=56100 / OHav.

[0027] "Average functionality" is the average of the functionalities associated with the various components in a mixture. When a mixture is formed by different polyols, the average functionality can be calculated as follows: given the average OH number of the mixture (OHav), given the functionality of the first component (f1), given the functionality of the second component (f2), given the OH number of the first component (OH1), given the OH number of the second component (OH2), given the weight fraction of the first component (a), given the weight fraction of the second component (b=1-a), the average functionality of the mixture is: Functionality av.=(OHavxf1xf2) / [(OH1xf2xa)+(OH2xf1xb)]

[0028] First Polyisocyanate Compound A1 According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the first polyisocyanate compound A1 used in component A is an aromatic compound having at least two isocyanate groups. According to a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the polyisocyanate compound contains at least one aromatic ring (e.g., an aryl group or a heteroaryl group), and all isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate compound are directly bonded to the aromatic ring without any connecting group therebetween. Carbodiimide-modified derivatives of the above-mentioned aromatic polyisocyanates can also be used in polyisocyanate compound A1, and in this case, the term carbodiimide-modified derivatives can include carbodiimide-modified aromatic polyisocyanates containing at least two isocyanate groups.

[Example]

[0067] The materials used in the examples are shown in Table 1 below.

[0068] [Table 1] Note: HPMA was further dried by adding molecular sieve beads; other materials were used as received without any further purification. The radical initiator was kept in the refrigerator for storage and removed from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before its use. Prior to casting, all major components were degassed under vacuum for 1 hour.

[0069] Formulations and Test Results Synthesis of prepolymers A2, A3-1 and A3-2: These prepolymers were formed by the reaction of an isocyanate component with a polyol component. The isocyanate component was added to a reactor and brought to reaction temperature (approximately 70°C) with stirring under a nitrogen pad. The polyol components, if they consist of two or more components, were premixed and then gradually added to the reactor at a rate slow enough to allow the exotherm resulting from the reaction of the isocyanate groups with the hydroxyl groups to dissipate. After the addition of the polyol components was complete, the prepolymer was consumed by beeping while stirring at approximately 70°C while monitoring the NCO content according to ASTM D5155. Prepolymer formation was considered complete when the NCO reached the target NCO value. Additional considerations apply, as known by those skilled in the art of making prepolymers.

[0070] Prepolymer A2: It has an NCO content of 23%. It was formed by reaction of 4,4'-monomer MDI (87% by weight) with tripropylene glycol (13% by weight).

[0071] Prepolymer A3-1: This has an NCO content of 15%. It was formed by reacting an MDI polymer having an isomer mixture of 30% 2,4'-MDI and 70% 4,4'-MDI (18.1 wt%) and an NCO content of 32 wt% (31.8 wt%) with polypropylene glycol having an EW of 1002 g / eq (12.6) and a PO-based triol having a 15% EO cap and an EW of 2040 g / eq (37.5).

[0072] Prepolymer A3-2: This has an NCO content of 18.4%. It was formed by reacting 4,4'-MDI monomer (65.5 wt%) with dipropylene glycol (4.1 wt%), an EO-capped PO-based triol having approximately 15% EO capping and an EW of 2040 g / eq (10.3 wt%), and an EO-capped PO-based diol having approximately 20% EO capping and an EW of 2025 g / eq (20.1 wt%).

[0073] Sample preparation All components were blended in the specified proportions in the order listed in the table, and then thoroughly mixed using a SpeedMixer (DAC 600.1 FVZ, Hauschild) with a dynamic program (800 rpm for 10 seconds, 1200 rpm for 10 seconds, 1600 rpm for 10 seconds, and 2000 rpm for 2 minutes). The resulting liquid resin was further degassed under vacuum for 6 minutes, cast into a vertical steel mold, and left in an oven at 40°C for 1 hour, followed by overnight at 70°C for complete curing. Cast plates were obtained by demolding the next morning for cutting and testing.

[0074] Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention were prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 2.

[0075] Examples 4 to 10 of the present invention Inventive Examples 4-10 were prepared in the same manner as above, and differ from Examples 1-3 in that they used A) prepolymers having different ratios of isocyanate component to total weight or different final prepolymer weight percentages.

[0076] Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 1 used a lower amount of HPMA compared to the other inventive examples.

[0077] Comparative Examples 2 and 3 Comparative Examples 2-3 are prepared according to prior art formulations using PMDI without the specified prepolymer or combination thereof.

[0078] Comparative Examples 4-5 Comparative Examples 4-5 were formulations containing the individual prepolymers at the same levels of weight percent prepolymer as inventive Examples 7 and 9.

[0079] [Table 2]

[0080] Inventive Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 demonstrate the performance of resins with different levels of HPMA. As the amount of HPMA increased, the open time increased and the initial viscosity of the uncured resin decreased accordingly. When the HPMA level exceeded 30%, resins with open times greater than 2 hours were obtained, along with good physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. When the HPMA level was increased to 37% (Inventive Example 1), the material strength showed a decrease compared to the other inventive examples in Table 2. When the HPMA level was 10% (Comparative Example 1), the thermal stability did not meet industry standards. The results demonstrated that the preferred HPMA monomer range for the present invention is 25-40 wt%.

[0081] Instead, Comparative Examples 2-3, which contained only isocyanate polymer without prepolymer, showed significantly lower physical and mechanical performance compared to the similar levels of HPMA % (30-37%) used in the inventive examples, demonstrating the positive effect of the prepolymer on physical and mechanical properties, which increases the upper limit of HPMA that can be used in this process, and therefore leads to resins with correspondingly longer open times.

[0082] [Table 3]

[0083] When the total prepolymer content was at a relatively low level (<45% as shown in Inventive Examples 4, 5, and 6), all three formulations containing individual prepolymers showed improved performance compared to Comparative Example 3, which did not contain any prepolymers. However, when the prepolymer content exceeded a certain level, the formulations containing a single prepolymer had difficulty meeting the performance criteria. As shown in Comparative Example 4, when only Prepolymer A2 (45% based on the total weight of the isocyanate component) was used, the material became brittle, resulting in insufficient strength and strain at break, while when only Prepolymer A3 (56% based on the total weight of the isocyanate component) was used, stiffness was compromised, resulting in insufficient strength (Comparative Example 5).

[0084] Surprisingly, when both prepolymers were combined in the selected ratio (Inventive Examples 7-10), all formulations exhibited satisfactory strength and maintained other desirable properties well. Prepolymers with NCO contents <10% or >25% are outside the scope. At NCO contents <10%, the prepolymers are very viscous (typically >4000 MPa.s at 25°C) and often contain large amounts of long-chain polyols, resulting in liquid resins with undesirably high initial viscosity, short open time, and poor rigidity. At NCO contents >25%, the final cured resins have poor mechanical strength and are brittle.

[0085] Inventive Examples 8 and 10 showed the effect of prepolymer % (based on the total weight of the isocyanate component): the higher the prepolymer %, the less brittle the material, but also the higher the initial viscosity and the shorter the open time.

[0086] The open time and viscosity were measured with a rheometer AntonPaar MCR102, and the tests were carried out at 25°C in rotational mode with 25 mm parallel plates and a shear rate of 10 s. The open time is defined as the time required for the mixture to reach 500 MPa.s after initial mixing.

[0087] The bending tests were carried out in accordance with standard method ISO 178. A three-point bending template was applied: load cell: 1 kN, speed: 10 mm / min; for each sample, five specimens with dimensions of 80 x 10 x 4 mm were measured.

[0088] Heat distortion temperature (HDT) was measured according to standard method ISO 75-2 - Mode A. Tests were performed using a DMA instrument with a three-point bending geometry. A static force was applied to the sample while it was heated from 35°C to 150°C at a ramp rate of 2°C / min. The displacement was measured in μm and the temperature was recorded.

[0089] The glass transition temperature (Tg) was measured using a DMA apparatus with a three-point bending geometry. The sample was heated from 40°C to 200°C at a rate of 3°C / min.
