STUDY ON THE EPOXY RESIN TOUGHENED BY HYDROXY-TERMINATED BUTADIENE-ACRYLONITRILE COPOLYMER

Toughened epoxy resin with excellent properties was obtained by adding organic acid anhydride curing agent and hydroxy-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer (HTBN), which is cheaper than CTBN. The anhydride reacts with both epoxy groups on epoxy resin and hydroxyl groups on HTBN. As a result the soft long chains of HTBN and the rigid chain of epoxy resin form one network, giving the resin toughness. Two-phase structure of the toughened resin was observed by SEM and TEM.

Studies on thermal, mechanical and morphological behaviour of caprolactam blocked methylenediphenyl diisocyanate toughened bismaleimide modified epoxy matrices

Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A epoxy resin (DGEBA, LY 556) was toughened with 5%, 10% and 15% (by wt) of caprolactam blocked methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (CMDI) using 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as curing agent. The toughened epoxy resin was further modified with chemical modifier N,N′-bismaleimido-4,4′-diphenylmethane (BMI). Caprolactam blocked methylenediphenyl diisocyanate was synthesized by the reaction of caprolactam with methylenediphenyl diisocyanate in presence of carbon tetrachloride under nitrogen atmosphere. Thermal properties of the developed matrices were characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), heat distortion temperature (HDT) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength were tested as per ASTM standards. The glass transition temperature (T_g) and thermal stability were decreased with increase in the percentage incorporation of CMDI. The thermomechanical properties of caprolactam blocked methylenediphenyl diisocyanate toughened epoxy resin were increased by increasing the percentage incorporation of bismaleimide. The values of impact strength for epoxy resin were increased with increase in the percentage concentration of CMDI. The homogeneous morphology of CMDI toughened epoxy resin and bismaleimide modified CMDI toughened epoxy resin system were ascertained from scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin–polyether sulfone/polyether sulfone ether ketone blends: phase morphology, fracture toughness and thermo-mechanical properties

The properties of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin toughened with poly(ether sulfone ether ketone) (PESEK) and poly(ether sulfone) (PES) polymers were investigated. PESEK was synthesised by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4,4’-difluorobenzophenone with dihydroxydiphenylsulfone using sulfolane as solvent and potassium carbonate as catalyst at 230 °C. The T _g–composition behaviour of the homogeneous epoxy resin/PESEK blend was modelled using Fox, Gordon–Taylor and Kelley–Bueche equations. A single relaxation near the glass transition of epoxy resin was observed in all the blend systems. From dynamic mechanical analysis, the crosslink density of the blends was found to decrease with increase in the thermoplastic concentration. The storage modulus of the epoxy/PESEK blends was lower than that of neat resin, whilst it is higher for epoxy/PES blends up to glass transition temperature, thereafter it decreases. Scanning electron microscopic studies of the blends revealed a homogeneous morphology. The homogeneity of the blends was attributed to the similarity in chemical structure of the modifier and the cured epoxy network and due to the H-bonding interactions between the blend components. The fracture toughness of epoxy resin increased on blending with PESEK and PES. The increase in fracture toughness was due to the increase in ductility of the matrix. The thermal stability of the blends was comparable to that of neat epoxy resin.     

Cure Kinetics of a Tetrafunctional Rubber Modified Epoxy-amine System

In this work the curing kinetics behaviour of a rubber modified epoxy amine system is investigated through calorimetric analysis. This study is part of a wider investigation on new epoxy formulations to be used as matrices of composite materials. The aim is to enhance both the processing behaviour and the mechanical properties of the matrix in order to obtain higher performance composites for more demanding applications. The epoxy system is blended with a high molecular mass rubber containing functional groups reactive towards the epoxies. The formation of a rubber/epoxy network can be achieved by means of a 'pre-reaction' between the epoxy monomers and the rubber functional groups, carried out in the presence of a suitable catalyst and before the resin is cured with the amino hardener. In this work the influence of both the rubber and the catalyst on the resin cure kinetics is analysed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and application of phenolic resin internally toughened by chain extension polymer of epoxidized soybean oil

A novel epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) internally toughened phenolic resin(ESO-IT-PR) with both good toughness and excellent thermal stability was prepared as the matrix resin of copper clad laminate (CCL). FTIR was adopted to investigate the molecular structure of modified phenolic resins and SEM was used to observe the micro morphology of their impacted intersections. The properties of CCLs prepared with these modified phenolic resins were studied to determine the optimal process and investigate the toughening mechanism. The main modifying mechanism is the etherification reaction between phenol hydroxyl and ESO catalyzed by triethanolamine and the chain extension polymerization between ESO and multi-amine gives the long-chain ESO epoxy grafting on the phenolic resin prepolymer. when the ESO content is 30% and the curing agent content is 7%, the ESO toughened phenolic resin possesses optimal performance. The flexible ESO epoxy shows significant toughening effect and it crosslinks with the phenolic resin to form an internally toughened network, which is the key factor for improving the solderleaching resistance of CCL prepared with this modified phenolic resin. __________ Translated from Journal of South China University of Technology (Natural Science Edition), 2007, 35(7): 99–104 [译自: 华南理工大学学报(自然科学版)]

Novel toughened cyanate ester resin with good dielectric properties and thermal stability by copolymerizing with hyperbranched polysiloxane and epoxy resin

A novel toughened cyanate ester (CE) resin with good dielectric properties and thermal stability was developed by copolymerizing 2,2′‐bis(4‐cyanatophenyl)iso‐propylidene (BCE) with a combined modifier (HBPSiEP) made up of hyperbranched polysiloxane (HBPSi) and epoxy (EP) resin. HBPSi was synthesized through the hydrolysis of 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. The effect of differing stoichiometries of HBPSiEP on the curing characteristics and performance of BCE resin is discussed. Results show that the incorporation of HBPSiEP can not only effectively promote the curing reaction of BCE, but can also significantly improve the toughness of the cured BCE resin. In addition, the toughening effect of HBPSiEP is greater than single EP resin. For example, the impact strength of modified BCE resin with 30 wt% of HBPSiEP is 23.3 KJ/m², which is more than 2.5 times of that of pure BCE resin, while the maximum impact strength of EP/BCE resin is about 2 times of pure BCE resin. It is worthy to note that HBPSiEP/BCE resins also exhibit improved thermal stability, dielectric properties, and flame retardancy, suggesting that the novel toughened CE resins have great potentiality to be used as a matrix for advanced functional composites or electronic packing resins.

Development of toughened bio‐based epoxy with epoxidized linseed oil as reactive diluent and cured with bio‐renewable crosslinker

In the current work, renewable resourced toughened epoxy blend has been developed using epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and bio‐based crosslinker. Epoxidation of linseed oil was confirmed through FTIR and ¹H NMR spectra. The ELO bio‐resin was blended at different compositions (10, 20, and 30 phr) with a petroleum‐based epoxy (DGEBA) as reactive diluent to reduce the viscosity for better processibility and cured with cardanol‐derived phenalkamine to overcome the brittleness. The flow behavior of the neat epoxy and modified bio‐epoxy resin blend systems was analyzed by Cross model at low and high shear rates. The tensile and impact behavior studies revealed that the toughened bio‐epoxy blend with 20 to 30 phr of ELO showed moderate stiffness with much higher elongation at break 7% to 13%. Incorporation of higher amount of ELO (20 to 30 phr) increases enthalpy of curing without affecting peak temperature of curing. The thermal degradation behavior of the ELO based blends exhibits similar trend as neat epoxy. The higher intensity or broadened loss tangent curve of bio‐epoxy blends revealed higher damping ability. FE‐SEM analysis showed a rough and rippled surface of bio‐based epoxy blends ensuring effective toughening. Reduced viscosity of resin due to maximum possible incorporation of bio‐resin and use of phenalkamine as curing agent leads to an eco‐friendly toughened epoxy and can be useful for specific coating and structural application.

Epoxy-modified, unsaturated polyester hybrid networks

Hybrid polymer networks (HPNs) based on unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) and epoxy resins were synthesized by reactive blending. The epoxy resins used were epoxidised phenolic novolac (EPN), epoxidised cresol novolac (ECN) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). Epoxy novolacs were prepared by glycidylation of the novolacs using epichlorohydrin. The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the cured blends were compared with those of the control resin. Epoxy resins show good miscibility and compatibility with the UPR resin on blending and the co-cured resin showed substantial improvement in the toughness and impact resistance. Considerable enhancement of tensile strength and toughness are noticed at very low loading of EPN. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to study the thermal properties of the toughened resin. The EPN/UPR blends showed substantial improvement in thermal stability as evident from TGA and damping data. The fracture behaviour was corroborated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The performance of EPN is found to be superior to other epoxy resins.     

Molecular understanding of the adhesive interactions between silica surface and epoxy resin: Effects of interfacial water

The molecular mechanism of the adhesion between silica surface and epoxy resin under atmospheric conditions is investigated by periodic density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations. Slab models of the adhesion interface were built by integrating a fragment of epoxy resin and hydroxylated (0 0 1) surface of α-cristobalite in the presence of adsorbed water molecules. Effects of adsorbed water on the adhesion interaction are evaluated on the basis of geometry-optimized structures, adhesion energies, and forces. Calculated results demonstrate that adsorbed water molecules significantly reduce both the adhesion energies and forces of the silica surface–epoxy resin interface. The reduction of adhesion properties can be associated with structural deformation of water molecules confined in the tight space between the adhesive and adherend as well as structural flexibility of the hydrogen-bonding network in the interfacial region during detachment of the epoxy resin from the hydrophilic silica surface. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Structure and property relationships in model diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐a and diglycidyl ether of tetramethyl bisphenol‐a epoxy systems. I. Mechanical property characterizations

Model epoxy networks, with variations in crosslink density and in epoxy monomer rigidity, were prepared to study how the network structure affects modulus, T_g, and toughness/toughenability of epoxy resins. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A and diglycidyl ether of tetramethyl‐bisphenol‐A, along with the corresponding chain extenders, were chosen to study how monomer backbone rigidity and crosslink density affect physical and mechanical properties of epoxies. The present study indicates that, as expected, the backbone rigidity of the epoxy network, not the crosslink density alone, will strongly influence modulus and T_g of epoxy resins. Upon rubber toughening, it is found that the rigidity of the epoxy backbone and/or the nature of the crosslinking agent utilized are most critical to the toughenability of the epoxy. That is, the well‐known correlation between toughenability and the average molecular weight between crosslinks (M_c) does not necessarily hold true when the nature of epoxy backbone molecular mobility is altered. The potential significance of the present findings for a better design of toughened thermosets for structural applications is discussed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and performance of flexible epoxy resin with long alkyl side chains via click reaction

Epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer with excellent performance and wide application. However, it suffers from low toughness and high brittleness because of its high crosslink density. To overcome these disadvantages, this study synthesizes a toughened, flexible, and hydrophobic epoxy resin (DGEBDBP) by introducing a flexible segment into the polymer network via a thiol-ene click reaction. The cured flexible epoxy resin is obtained by mixing E44, DGEBDBP, and polyamide curing agents of varying contents. The long alkyl side chains significantly improve the mechanical properties and hydrophobicity of the cured epoxy resin. The sample containing 75% DGEBDBP and 25% E44 achieve the highest breaking elongation that was nine times that of pure E44, the highest compressive strength of 112.8 MPa, and the highest contact angle of 101.4°. The introduction of side chains through the thiol-ene click reaction can provide a simple and effective method for designing and preparing multifunctional epoxy resins.     

Fracture mechanisms in rigid core-shell particle modified high performance epoxies

The fracture mechanisms of a high performance epoxy system modified with two types of preformed rigid core-shell particles (RCSP) were investigated. The use of the preformed RCSP anables the control of the dispersion of the toughener phase in the epoxy, which, in turn, allows the mechanical properties of the modified epoxy to be optimized. The toughening effect via the RCSP modification is found to be as good as that via the core-shell rubber modification. The moduli andT _g of these RCSP-modified epoxies are virtually unaltered via the RCSP modification, when compared with the neat epoxy resin equivalent. The toughening mechanisms in these toughened systems appear to be predominantly crack deflection, crack bifurcation, and microcracking. Approaches for effective toughening of high performance polymers via rigid polymers are discussed.
