In this study, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were modified with an amine functional group to obtain amine-functionalized graphene (AMG) nanosheets and then blended with the aniline curing agent of bisphenol-A (BPA) epoxy resin to crosslink BPA epoxy resin. The AMG-blended curing agent and BPA epoxy resin formed an intermolecular hydrogen bond that was stronger than the π–π stacking force between benzene rings of graphene nanosheets. Therefore, AMG nanosheets exhibited excellent dispersion in the aniline curing agent. The amine group of AMG-blended curing agents and the epoxy functional group of BPA epoxy resin exhibited strong chemical activity and underwent crosslinking and polymerization. AMG nanosheets were mixed with BPA epoxy resin to form a crosslinked structure through the epoxy ring-opening polymerization of the resin. The mechanical properties of the epoxy resin nanocomposites were significantly improved by the added 1 wt.% AMG nanosheets. The tensile strength was enhanced by 98.1% by adding 1 wt.% AMG in epoxy. Furthermore, the impact resistance of the epoxy resin was enhanced by 124.4% after adding 2.67 wt.% of AMG nanosheets. Compared with other reinforced fillers, AMG nanosheets are very light and can therefore be used as nanocomposite materials in coating applications, the automotive industry, aerospace sheet materials, wind power generation, and other fields.

AbstractIn order to improve the compatibility of flame retardant and epoxy resin, a phosphorus nitrogen flame retardant curing agent poly(p-xylylenediamine spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphonate) (PPXSPB) was synthesized. FTIR, 1HNMR, and mass spectroscopy were used to identify the chemical structure of PPXSPB. Epoxy resin (E-44) and PPXSPB as the raw material, a series of thermosetting systems were prepared. The effects of PPXSPB on flame retardancy, water resistance, thermal degradation behavior, mechanical properties and the adhesive strength of EP/PPXSPB thermosets were investigated. The results show that with the increase of phosphorus content, the oxygen index and carbon residue of the system both increased significantly, and the heat release rate gradually decreased, which is of great significance in delaying the occurrence of fire. When the phosphorus content is 3.24% in EP/PPXSPB thermosets, EP-2 can successfully pass the UL94 V-0 flammability rating, the LOI value of EP-2 can reach 31.4%, the impact strength and tensile strength was 6.58 kJ/m2 and 47.10 MPa respectively, and the adhesive strength was 13.79 MPa, the system presents a good overall performance.

The Impact

In order to modify the properties of the epoxy composites, an alkali catalyzed biphenyldiol formaldehyde resin (BPFR) was synthesized and used to cure epoxy resin (ER). γ-Glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane (KH-560) was used as a reinforcer of the composites. Laminates of the BPFR/ER fiberglass reinforced composites with different (KH-560) contents were prepared. The influence of the KH-560 content on the glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal degradation properties of the composites was researched by dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The mechanical, electrical properties of the composites were determined. The results showed that the interfacial bonding strength between resin matrix and fiberglass can be efficiently improved with the presence of KH-560. When the ratio of BPFR and ER is 3 : 7, the content of KH-560 is 5 ~7 wt%, the impact resistance of the fiberglass reinforced composites is 61.35~78.59 kJ/m2, the tensile resistance is 150.37~162.54 MPa, which are all 30 % higher than that of no added; The dielectric constant ε and dielectric loss tanδ of the composites is between 0.50~0.68 and between 0.008~0.01, respectively.

Modified Epoxy

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.

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.

Polyether imidazole ionic liquid (PIIL) was blended with general-purpose epoxy resin (EP). PIIL/EP was cured by ethylenediamine curing agent. The structure of PIIL/EP was determined by FTIR. The effect of the content of PIIL on the impact strength of EP was studied. The toughness of epoxy resin could be significantly improved by PIIL. The impact strength of the modified EP was improved with the increase of PIIL and leveled off when the content of PIIL was more than 45%, and the modified EP showed rubber elasticity obviously.

The Impact

Hydroxyl-terminated liquid natural rubbers (HTNRs), prepared by the Photo-Fenton reaction, were used to modify bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether-based epoxy (DGEBA). A chemical link between HTNRs and the epoxy resin was promoted employing toluene diisocyanate. The reactions between elastomers and epoxy resin were followed by FTIR. The mechanical properties of the composites were evaluated and the microstructure was investigated using scanning electronic microscopy. The results showed that the impact resistance of HTNR-modified DGEBA was superior to that of the pure epoxy resin. For the composites with HTNR, the impact resistance increased with elastomer concentration up to 2.5 parts per hundred parts of resin. Higher concentration of HTNR resulted in larger particles which gave lower impact values.
