AbstractThis study aimed to improve the flexibility of E-51 epoxy resin by using polyamide/polyether amine as a two-component curing agent. Through solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR), it was found that the cross-linking density of epoxy resin could be effectively reduced by adding the polyamide and polyether amine curing agent. The tensile tests showed that the elongation-at-break was remarkably improved. It was found by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) that the curing behavior of the polyamide epoxy curing system varied with the addition of different polyether amine. Phase contrast microscope showed that phase separation occurred during the reaction of epoxy resin with the polyamide/polyether amine composite curing agent. In this paper, the modified epoxy resin was endowed with high elongation-at-break (>100%) and appropriate tensile strength (10~20 MPa).

The use of renewable resources for plastic production is an imperious need for the reduction of the carbon footprint and the transition towards a circular economy. With that goal in mind, fully biobased epoxy resins have been designed and prepared by combining epoxidized linseed oil, lignin, and a biobased diamine derived from fatty acid dimers. The aromatic structures in lignin provide hardness and strength to an otherwise flexible and breakable epoxy resin. The curing of the system was investigated by infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The influence of the different components on the thermo-mechanical properties of the epoxy resins was analyzed by DSC, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and tensile tests. As the content of lignin in the resin increases, so does the glass transition, the Young’s modulus, and the onset of thermal degradation. This correlation is non-linear, and the higher the percentage of lignin, the more pronounced the effect. All the components of the epoxy resin being commodity chemicals, the present system provides a realistic opportunity for the preparation of fully biorenewable resins at an industrial scale.

The epoxy resin was modified with the mixture of α,ω-dihydroxy poly-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) siloxane (PTFPMS), KH560 and stannous octoate. KH560 can react with PTFPMS and also epoxy resin curing agent. The two reactions were characterized by FI-IR. The modified epoxy resin was characterized by FI-IR. The result showed that fluorine-containing silicone had been successfully introduced into the epoxy system. The mechanical and thermal properties of the modified epoxy resin were analyzed. The results showed that with the increase of PTFPMS the impact strength of epoxy resin increased, hardness and bending strength correspondingly reduced, slight decrease in the glass transition temperature.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to check effectiveness of amine functional chloroaniline acetaldehyde condensate (AFCAC) as a new curing agent for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) resin. For this purpose, first AFCAC was synthesised, characterised and then curing reaction was carried out. Design/methodology/approach – Equimolecular mixture of AFCAC and DGEBA was subjected to curing reaction, and the reaction was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The kinetic studies of this curing reaction were also carried out from those DSC exotherms. The mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of cured epoxy were also reported. Findings – DSC results reflected the effective first order curing reaction of AFCAC with epoxy resin. Mechanical properties reflected appreciable rigidity of AFCAC cured epoxy matrix and TGA showed that the cured epoxy networks were thermally stable up to around 297°C. Research limitations/implications – The curing agent AFCAC was synthesised by using chloroaniline and acetaldehyde in acid medium. There are some limitations for this procedure. The synthetic procedure is pH dependent. So reaction cannot be done at any pH value. The reaction must also be carried out at room temperature without any heating. To obtain low molecular weight curing agent, chloroaniline and acetaldehyde cannot be taken in equimolecular ratio because the equimolecular mixture of them produces high molecular weight condensate. This was shown in our previous publication. Some implications are also there. By changing amine and aldehyde other curing agents could be synthesised and the curing efficiency of those for epoxy resin could also be studied. Originality/value – Experimental results revealed the greater suitability of AFCAC as curing agent for DGEBA resin and novelty of AFCAC cured matrix in the field of protective coating, casting, adhesives, etc.

The Impact

This paper presents the synthesis of a new type of flexible epoxy curing agent and an approach to improve the toughness of epoxy resin by curing without reducing the strength and modulus of the resin-cured material. The results show that the degree of toughness reaches maximum values when the flexible curing agent is applied at weight percentages (wt.%) between 10% and 15%. When the amount of flexible curing agent added to epoxy resin weight is 10wt.%, the impact toughness and fracture toughness increases by 33.3% and 96.3%, respectively, compared with the pure epoxy resin. When the amount of flexible curing agent added to epoxy is 10wt.%, the resulting impact thoughness of the material is 19.5 kJ•m-2 at-50°C, the impact toughness of pure epoxy resin is only 7.96 kJ•m-2.

In order to solve the poor toughness, fatigue durability and shock resistance defects of the cured epoxy resin, in this paper, the epoxy resin was modified via dichlorodiphenyl silane as a modifier. Then the electronic packaging materials were prepared using the modified EP as matrix, a nitrile rubber (CTBN) as a toughening agent, methyl nadic anhydride (MNA) as a curing agent, and 2, 4, 6 - tris (dimethyl amino methyl) phenol as a curing accelerator. The effects of raw materials ratio on the cured products’ properties was investigated. FT-IR, TG-DTG and DMA were used to test and characterize the product. And we determined the best raw materials ratio and reaction conditions. Finally epoxy encapsulating materials which have excellent mechanical properties, electrical properties were prepared.

In this work, epoxy hybrid materials were synthesized by addition of thermoplastic segmented aliphatic polyurethanes with good elastic properties. The modified epoxy samples were obtained by curing of previously homogenized mixture of prepared polyurethane melts, epoxy resin and crosslinking agent Jeffamine D-2000. The influence of different weight content of polyurethanes (5, 10 and 15 wt. % compared to pure epoxy resin) as well the influence of different hard segments of elastomers (20, 25 and 30 wt. %) on the curing of modified epoxy systems was studied. The curing was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in dynamic regime from 30 to 300?C, at three heating rates (5, 10 and 20?C/min). With the increase of hard segments content of polyurethanes added in higher concentration (10 and 15 wt. %) into epoxy matrix, the temperature of maximum ratio of curing was shifted to lower values (from 205 to 179?C). Obtained DSC data were analyzed using two integral methods (Ozawa-Flynn-Wall and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose) and one differential kinetic model (Friedman). The significant differences were observed in the second part of the epoxy curing (for the reaction degrees higher than 60 %), where the values of activation energies remarkably increase. The addition of polyurethane elastomers retarded the curing process due to decreased mobility of reactant molecules caused by higher viscosity of reaction mixture. By detailed analysis of determined kinetic parameters, it is concluded that the influence of slow diffusion is more pronounced in the presence of thermoplastic polycarbonate-based polyurethanes, which confirmed their effect on the mechanism of epoxy curing. The highest tensile strength and hardness showed the DGEBA modified with the polyurethane with highest hard segment content. Increasing the hard segment content of polyurethane and its concentration in matrix, the tensile strength of modified epoxy was increased. The elongation at break of modified epoxy samples was significantly improved by addition of polycarbonate-based polyurethanes with low hard segment content, due to higher content of flexible soft segment chains.
