The invention belongs to the technical field of modified
polymer materials, and discloses modified
rosin resin for UV (
ultraviolet) ink as well as a preparation method and application of the modified
rosin resin. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out chain extension reaction on hydroxyl
silicone oil, an
epoxy silane monomer and a
silane monomer containing unsaturated double bonds in the presence of a
silicon alkoxide catalyst to obtain modified
silicone oil containing
epoxy groups and unsaturated double bonds; and (2) adding the disproportionated
rosin resin and a catalyst into a
solvent, dissolving and uniformly mixing, heating to 80-120 DEG C under a protective
atmosphere, then adding the modified
silicone oil containing
epoxy groups and unsaturated double bonds, epoxy resin and a
trimellitic anhydride curing agent, carrying out a heat preservation reaction, and after the reaction is completed, carrying out reduced pressure
distillation to remove the
solvent, so as to obtain the modified rosin resin. The disproportionated rosin resin is modified by adopting a specific
silicone oil component, so that the flexibility, glossiness and
weather resistance of the disproportionated rosin resin can be remarkably improved. And the specific epoxy resin and the curing agent are adopted for synergistic cross-linking modification, so that good adhesiveness is ensured.
