The present invention belongs to the technical field of
polymer insulation materials, and specifically discloses an
epoxy insulation material with high
toughness and high insulation strength and a preparation method thereof. The present invention constructs a
side chain structure by
grafting single-ended amine-terminated linear
alkyl groups of different chain lengths at a specific
molar ratio onto a
fluorine-containing
epoxy resin, and then adopts a step-curing process to form a three-dimensional cross-linked network with a curing agent under the action of a accelerator. The
fracture toughness is significantly improved by utilizing the chain extension effect of the
epoxy body during the
side chain grafting process and the uniform microphase separation structure formed by the self-
assembly of the long
alkyl side chains during the curing process; at the same time, the steric hindrance of the short
alkyl side chains and the synergistic effect of the
fluorine atom charge trap inhibit the delocalized
electron transmission of the conjugated structure of the
benzene ring, and the insulation performance is simultaneously enhanced. Compared with traditional
toughening technology, it effectively avoids the insulation degradation caused by
toughening modification, and provides high-
voltage electrical equipment with an epoxy resin material that has both
mechanical reliability and insulation stability.
