Synthesis and Characterization of Multifunctional Secondary Thiol Hardeners Using 3-Mercaptobutanoic Acid and Their Thiol-Epoxy Curing Behavior.

ABSTRACT: 3-Mercaptobutanoic acid (3-MBA) was synthesized by the less odorous Michael addition pathway using an isothiouronium salt intermediate. Using the synthesized 3-MBA, multifunctional secondary thiol (sec-thiol) compounds were obtained and applied to thiol-epoxy curing systems as hardeners. As the functionality of the sec-thiol hardeners increased, the purity of the product obtained after distillation decreased. The equivalent epoxy mixtures with multifunctional sec-thiol hardeners were evaluated based on their impact on the curing behavior in thiol-epoxy click reactions by differential scanning calorimetry. The thermal features of sec-thiol-epoxy click reactions in the presence of a base catalyst were assessed according to the functionality of the sec-thiol hardeners. Our results showed that sec-thiol hardeners with less reactivity to the epoxy group provide long-term storage stability for the formulated epoxy resin, promising for industrial applications.

Intrinsic Flame-Retardant and Thermally Stable Epoxy Endowed by a Highly Efficient, Multifunctional Curing Agent.

Project description:It is difficult to realize flame retardancy of epoxy without suffering much detriment in thermal stability. To solve the problem, a super-efficient phosphorus-nitrogen-containing reactive-type flame retardant, 10-(hydroxy(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl)-5,10-dihydrophenophosphazinine-10-oxide (HB-DPPA) is synthesized and characterized. When it is used as a co-curing agent of 4,4'-methylenedianiline (DDM) for curing diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), the cured epoxy achieves UL-94 V-0 rating with the limiting oxygen index of 29.3%. In this case, the phosphorus content in the system is exceptionally low (0.18 wt %). To the best of our knowledge, it currently has the highest efficiency among similar epoxy systems. Such excellent flame retardancy originates from the exclusive chemical structure of the phenophosphazine moiety, in which the phosphorus element is stabilized by the two adjacent aromatic rings. The action in the condensed phase is enhanced and followed by pressurization of the pyrolytic gases that induces the blowing-out effect during combustion. The cone calorimeter result reveals the formation of a unique intumescent char structure with five discernible layers. Owing to the super-efficient flame retardancy and the rigid molecular structure of HB-DPPA, the flame-retardant epoxy acquires high thermal stability and its initial decomposition temperature only decreases by 4.6 °C as compared with the unmodified one.

Density Functional Theory-Assisted Synthesis of Self-Curing Epoxy-Acrylic Resin.

Project description:A density functional theory-assisted synthesis of self-curing epoxy-acrylic resin (EMPA) is described. The calculated quantum chemistry reaction index of the reacting monomer in the basic state, i.e., the radical reaction index (F k 0), is used as a guide to optimize the synthesis conditions. The reliability of the F k 0-assisted synthesis method is confirmed after evaluating the physical appearance, mechanical properties after curing, and thermal stability of the obtained EMPA. The special functional groups of the resin are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to prove the rationality of the reaction mechanism. The cross-sectional morphology characteristics of the cured resin are observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the closer the molar ratio of monomers in the reaction to the ratio of F k 0 of the reacting monomers, the better the polymerization performance.

Characterization and Curing Kinetics of Epoxy/Silica Nano-Hybrids.

Project description:The sol-gel technique was used to prepare epoxy/silica nano-hybrids. The thermal characteristics, curing kinetics and structure of epoxy/silica nano-hybrids were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To improve the compatibility between the organic and inorganic phases, a coupling agent was used to modify the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy. The sol-gel technique enables the silica to be successfully incorporated into the network of the hybrids, increasing the thermal stability and improving the mechanical properties of the prepared epoxy/silica nano-hybrids. An autocatalytic mechanism of the epoxy/SiO₂ nanocomposites was observed. The low reaction rate of epoxy in the nanocomposites is caused by the steric hindrance in the network of hybrids that arises from the consuming of epoxide group in the network of hybrids by the silica. In the nanocomposites, the nano-scale silica particles had an average size of approximately 35 nm, and the particles were well dispersed in the epoxy matrix, according to the TEM images.

Electrical Resistance Sensing of Epoxy Curing Using an Embedded Carbon Nanotube Yarn.

Project description:Curing effects were investigated by using the electrical response of a single carbon nanotube yarn (CNTY) embedded in an epoxy resin during the polymerization process. Two epoxy resins of different viscosities and curing temperatures were investigated, varying also the concentration of the curing agent. It is shown that the kinetics of resin curing can be followed by using the electrical response of an individual CNTY embedded in the resin. The electrical resistance of an embedded CNTY increased (~ 9%) after resin curing for an epoxy resin cured at 130 °C with viscosity of ~ 59 cP at the pouring/curing temperature ("Epon 862"), while it decreased (~ -9%) for a different epoxy cured at 60 °C, whose viscosity is about double at the corresponding curing temperature. Lowering the curing temperature from 60 °C to room temperature caused slower and smoother changes of electrical resistance over time and smaller (positive) residual resistance. Increasing the concentration of the curing agent caused a faster curing kinetics and, consequently, more abrupt changes of electrical resistance over time, with negative residual electrical resistance. Therefore, the resin viscosity and curing kinetics play a paramount role in the CNTY wicking, wetting and resin infiltration processes, which ultimately govern the electrical response of the CNTY immersed into epoxy.

Experimental Characterization and Modeling Multifunctional Properties of Epoxy/Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites.

Project description:Thermomechanical modeling of epoxy/graphene oxide under quasi-static and dynamic loading requires thermo-mechanical properties such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, thermal conductivity, and frequency-temperature dependent viscoelastic properties. In this study, the effects of different graphene oxide (GO) concentrations (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 wt%) within an epoxy matrix on several mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. The distribution of GO fillers in the epoxy was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The digital image correlation (DIC) technique was employed during the tensile testing to determine Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. Analytical models were used to predict Young's modulus and thermal conductivity, with an error of less than 13% and 9%, respectively. Frequency-temperature dependent phenomenological models were proposed to predict the storage moduli and loss tangent, with a reasonable agreement with experimental data. A relatively high storage modulus, heat-resistance index (THRI), and thermal conductivity were observed in 0.2 wt% nanocomposite samples compared with pure epoxy and other lower concentration GO nanocomposites. A high THRI and derivative of thermogravimetric analysis peak temperatures (Tm1 and Tm2) were exhibited by adding nano-fillers in the epoxy, which confirms higher thermal stability of nanocomposites than that of pristine epoxy.

Synthesis and Swelling Behavior of Highly Porous Epoxy Polymers.

Project description:Many advantageous properties of cross-linked polymers relate to their network structures. In this study, network structures of three DGEBA-based epoxy systems at various DGEBA monomer sizes were investigated via equilibrium swelling and glass transition behavior. Each system was cured with a tetra-functional diamine, 4,4'-methylenebiscyclohexanamine, in the presence of a nonreactive solvent, i.e., THF at a solvent-to-monomer volume fraction ranging from 0 to 92%. Experimental results revealed that the conventional swelling model (the Dušek model) accurately calculates M c values of the cured gels prepared in moderate dilute environments, up to approximately 60% by volume of THF. For gels cured in extreme dilute environments, i.e., in the presence of above 60% by volume of THF, the calculated M c values using the Dušek model were found to increase sharply as a function of the initial solvent content. The observed dramatic increase in M c values was not supported by the dry T g of the identical polymer systems. In fact, the dry T g values of the polymer systems were found to be relatively insensitive to the initial solvent content. A modification was proposed to the Dušek model that incorporates an additional term, which accounts for the probability of finding elastic chains in a polymer network. Using the modified equation, M c values were varied as expected with the molecular weight of DGEBA and insensitive to the amount of the solvent initially used during cure. Furthermore, the modified M c values were shown to be consistent with the dry T g values in view of the Fox and Loshaek model.

Heterogeneous dynamics in the curing process of epoxy resins.

Project description:Epoxy resin is indispensable for modern industry because of its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and excellent moldability. To date, various methods have been used to investigate the physical properties of the cured product and the kinetics of the curing process, but its microscopic dynamics have been insufficiently studied. In this study, the microscopic dynamics in the curing process of a catalytic epoxy resin were investigated under different temperature conditions utilizing X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Our results revealed that the temperature conditions greatly affected the dynamical heterogeneity and cross-linking density of the cured materials. An overview of the microscopic mechanism of the curing process was clearly presented through comparison with the measurement results of other methods, such as 1H-pulse nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The quantification of such heterogeneous dynamics is particularly useful for optimizing the curing conditions of various materials to improve their physical properties.

Using Dicyclopentadiene-Derived Polyarylates as Epoxy Curing Agents To Achieve High <i>T</i> <sub>g</sub> and Low Dielectric Epoxy Thermosets.

Project description:To achieve high-T g and low-dielectric epoxy thermosets, four dicyclopentadiene-derived polyarylates (26-P, 26-M, 236-P, and 236-M) were prepared from 2,6-dimethyl (or 2,3,6-trimethyl) phenol-dicyclopentadiene adduct with terephthaloyl (or isophthaloyl) chloride by high-temperature solution polymerization. The resulting polyarylates, exhibiting active ester linkages (Ph-O-(C=O)-) are found to be reactive toward a commercial dicyclopentadiene phenol epoxy (HP7200) in the presence of some lone-pair electron-containing compounds. Five compounds including 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), imidazole, 2-methylimidazole, triphenylphosphine, and triphenylimidazole have been evaluated as a catalyst for the curing reactions. We found that DMAP, with the smallest pK b among them, is the best catalyst according to differential scanning calorimetry, infrared, and thermal analyses. The thermal and dielectric properties of the polyarylate/HP7200 thermosets are evaluated. We found that they exhibit a high T g characteristic (e.g., T g is 238 °C for DMAP-catalyzed, 236-P/HP7200 thermoset). Furthermore, because of the hydrophobic methyl and cycloaliphatic moieties, and the secondary hydroxyl-free structure, polyarylate/HP7200 thermosets show a relative low-dielectric constant of around 2.75 U. The detailed structure-properties relationship is discussed in this work.

Curing and Molecular Dynamics Simulation of MXene/Phenolic Epoxy Composites with Different Amine Curing Agent Systems.

Project description:Herein, the curing kinetics and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of MXene/phenolic epoxy composites with two curing agents, i.e., 4,4-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) and dicyandiamine (DICY), are systematically investigated using experimental characterization, mathematical modeling and molecular dynamics simulations. The effect of MXene content on an epoxy resin/amine curing agent system is also studied. These results reveal that the MXene/epoxy composites with both curing agent systems conform to the SB(m,n) two-parameter autocatalytic model. The addition of MXene accelerated the curing of the epoxy composite and increased the Tg by about 20 K. In addition, molecular dynamics were used to simulate the Tg of the cross-linked MXene/epoxy composites and to analyze microstructural features such as the free volume fraction (FFV). The simulation results show that the introduction of MXene improves the Tg and FFV of the simulated system. This is because the introduction of MXene restricts the movement of the epoxy/curing agent system. The conclusions are in good agreement with the experimental results.
