Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of silsesquioxane, in particular to a four-functionality eugenol epoxy functionalized cage type silsesquioxane, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in preparation of a bio-based epoxy resin nano hybrid material.
Background
Silsequioxanes (silsequioxanes) are a class of silsequioxanes having (RSiO)3/2)nThe empirical T-type organosilicon materials can be classified into random, trapezoidal, cage-shaped, and macrocyclic structures, depending on the structure. Among them, Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS for short) is a class of nanoscale body-type molecules with precise configuration, and is also a class of Silsesquioxane which is researched more at present. Structurally, POSS consists of an inorganic cage core skeleton of Si-O-Si and organic substituents covered on the periphery. The size of POSS is usually 1-3 nm, the Si-O-Si cage-shaped inner core in the structure can endow the POSS with advantages in the aspects of heat and mechanics, organic substituent groups connected with the inner core can enable the POSS to be compatible with organic matters, biological systems or surfaces, and the substituent groups can be functionalized and derivatized accurately and quantitatively. The unique inorganic-organic structure of POSS makes its molecular structure easy to design, and has outstanding heat-resisting, oxidation-resisting, hydrophobic, low dielectric and mechanical properties, these characteristics make POSS become a kind of very promising nanometer structure unit, have a great potential in the preparation field of advanced functional nano-materials. However, the existing POSS has very limited varieties and is difficult to meet the requirements of material preparation, thereby restricting the development of POSS.
Epoxy resins have been developed into a large class of thermosetting resins because of their excellent mechanical and electrical properties, and are widely used in the fields of adhesives, structural composites, electronic semiconductor packaging, and the like. But the toughness is poor and the performance is greatly influenced by the epoxy resin matrix. At present, most of epoxy resins are prepared from petrochemical products with limited resources, wherein most of epoxy resin prepolymers are prepared by reacting bisphenol A with epichlorohydrin. However, bisphenol a has been classified as carcinogenic mutagenic and reproductive toxic and is considered an endocrine disrupter and is severely limited in its use. In addition, the price of bisphenol A is greatly fluctuated by the international crude oil price and is not reproducible; the cured product has poor flame retardancy and electrical properties, and is limited in application in high-tech fields. Therefore, bisphenol a epoxy resins have been banned from use in related fields in contact with food and human bodies in many countries of the world, and it is of great significance to develop environmentally friendly epoxy resins that can replace bisphenol a epoxy resins.
Currently, many bio-based epoxies are used for the modification of epoxy resins, mainly derived from cardanol, eugenol, vanillin, tannic acid, gallic acid, etc. (Wan et al,2020), and vanillin (Huang et al,2019, Memon et al,2020, Liu et al,2020), gamboge (Noe et al,2019), resveratrol (Tian et al,2020), magnolol (Qi et al,2020), protocatechuic aldehyde (Xie et al,2020), genistein (Dai et al,2019), daidzein (Ma and Li,2019) and salicylaldehyde (Li and Cai,2020), among others. The bio-based epoxy resin mainly comprises linear or branched aliphatic and aromatic micromolecules, has no advantages in many aspects such as thermal stability, flame retardance and the like, and is often single in effect. In addition, the poor compatibility of POSS and carbon-based materials leads to the unsatisfactory combination property of the composite materials, and is also one of the problems to be solved.
