Preparation method of high-whiteness and high-toughness epoxy resin composite material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polymer composite materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-whiteness and high-toughness epoxy resin composite material.
Background
Epoxy resins are widely used in the fields of electronic packaging, building construction, aerospace, and the like because of their good mechanical strength, adhesion, electrical insulation, acid and alkali resistance, processability, and the like. However, the three-dimensional epoxy resin after curing has high structural crosslinking density, high surface energy and large curing internal stress, so that the product is brittle and easy to crack in long-term use, and the application of the epoxy resin is limited due to the defects. Therefore, toughening modification of epoxy resins has been an important research topic in the epoxy resin industry.
The toughening means commonly used in epoxy resins is to incorporate elastomers, thermoplastic polymers, amphiphilic block copolymers, nanofillers, core-shell nanoparticles, etc. (Domun, et al. nanoscales 2015,7, 10294-. Among them, amphiphilic block copolymers can significantly improve toughness of epoxy resins at low contents without significantly affecting glass transition temperature and other properties, and are good tougheners for epoxy resins, and many types of block copolymers have been synthesized and used for toughening epoxy resins (Lipic, et al.j.am.chem.soc.1998,120, 8963-8970; Guo, et al.macromolecular 2002, Zhou, et al.polym.chem.2020,11, 3615-3626). Huang Yajiang and the like use chain segments which do not react with epoxy resin, such as polystyrene, polypropylene oxide, polybutadiene and the like, and chain segments which react with the epoxy resin, such as polymethacrylic acid, polyglycidyl methacrylate and the like, to form a block copolymer toughened epoxy resin, so that a good effect is achieved (Huang Yajiang, Tang soldier and the like, a reinforced toughening agent, a toughened epoxy resin composite material and a preparation method thereof, CN 107459612A). Among them, the silicone chains are also used to prepare block copolymers for toughening epoxy resins due to their good flexibility and poor compatibility with epoxy resins. The weekly patent application discloses that a triblock copolymer is prepared by taking Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a middle block and Polycaprolactam (PCL) as two side blocks, and is used for toughening epoxy resin, so that a remarkable effect is achieved (the weekly patent application discloses Song Ning, and the like, a triblock copolymer based on an anion ring-opening polymerization mechanism and a preparation method, CN 111763324A).
However, the block copolymer toughened epoxy resin still has some problems to be improved. First, most of the existing block copolymers are solid, and organic solvents are generally required to be added for dissolution and dispersion when the block copolymers are mixed with epoxy resin, so that the process is complicated, the energy consumption is high, the efficiency is low, and the environment is polluted. Secondly, most of the existing block copolymers are still synthesized in laboratories and are not produced in large quantities, so that the industrial production of toughened epoxy resin is difficult.
