Bisphenol curing agent containing spiro bisborate group, vegetable oil-based epoxy resin, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fine chemical engineering, in particular to a bisphenol curing agent containing spiro bisborate groups, a vegetable oil-based epoxy resin, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The epoxy adhesive is one of the most widely applied adhesive materials at present, and is applied to various fields such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, wind power generation fan blades, structural high-performance resin and the like due to the advantages of excellent performance, adjustable structure, simplicity in preparation and the like. According to different requirements of application scenes, the current research on the epoxy adhesive mainly improves the application performance of the adhesive through a modified curing crosslinked network, and mainly comprises the steps of reinforcing, toughening and modifying the epoxy adhesive, preparing the high-strength epoxy adhesive, preparing the low-temperature/quick-curing high-strength epoxy adhesive, preparing the high-temperature-resistant epoxy adhesive, preparing the water-resistant epoxy adhesive and the like. According to the demands of various fields on materials, light and high-strength standards are increasingly attracting attention, so that the adhesive is required to have excellent bonding strength to endow the materials with structural requirements.
At present, the performance modification of the epoxy adhesive is mainly focused on the following aspects of (1) cross-linking network modification, namely, the structural performance of the epoxy adhesive is improved by designing an epoxy monomer or curing agent structure, such as introducing a hyperbranched structure and the like, the adhesive bonding performance is improved, (2) blending modification, the epoxy adhesive is blended with other adhesives with specific excellent performance, the defect of the epoxy adhesive is improved, the adhesive bonding performance of the epoxy adhesive is improved, and (3) nano hybridization modification is carried out, the structural performance of the epoxy adhesive is improved by taking nano fillers as reinforcing elements, and the adhesive bonding performance is improved.
Patent CN202211122212.8 'a high-strength single-component epoxy adhesive composition and a preparation method thereof', the high-strength epoxy adhesive is obtained by designing a toughening agent and then compounding a curing agent, a diluent, a filler and the like to synergistically modify an epoxy resin crosslinking system. However, most of the methods disclosed at present have complex processes and additives, which are not beneficial to industrial application, and the epoxy resin is mainly petroleum-based product, which does not meet the current requirement of double carbon (or as in CN 201310675056.2' a high-strength adhesive, a preparation method and application thereof). Meanwhile, in the adhesive prepared by using the bio-based environment-friendly materials such as the epoxidized vegetable oil and the like, the adhesive bonding strength is more different than that of the petroleum-based epoxy adhesive (such as CN202410260521.4, a plasma modified chitosan cured epoxidized soybean oil wood adhesive, and a preparation method and application thereof). In addition, with the improvement of the application amount of the epoxy adhesive, after the product completes the service period, the colloid cannot be degraded and removed due to high adhesive strength, and is difficult to reprocess and apply, so that the recycling application of the material cannot be realized.
Moreover, high adhesive strength is contradictory with degradable and reworkable properties, and the integration of the properties cannot be achieved by structural design modification in the prior art. At present, there is a technology for reprocessing an epoxy adhesive by constructing an epoxy hot melt adhesive, for example, in CN112877014B, "an epoxy resin hot melt adhesive and a preparation method thereof", which uses ureido pyrimidinone as a functional structure to achieve repeated bonding. However, there has been no report on the unified integration study of high adhesive strength, reworkability and degradability of bio-based epoxy adhesives. Therefore, how to achieve the high adhesive strength, rapid degradation and repeated adhesive bonding performance of the adhesive is an important point in the development of the current adhesive industry and is also a difficult point.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) The invention synthesizes a novel spiro borate structure which can be used as a curing agent based on a method of cross-linked network structure design and is used for improving the structural performance of an epoxy adhesive. The spiro borate dihydric phenol is prepared by dehydrating and condensing 4-hydroxyphenylboric acid and pentaerythritol, and the compound is a main functional element for structural modification.
(2) According to the invention, the epoxy soybean oil is modified by compounding the spiro-borate dihydric phenol and the bisphenol F, and the spiro-borate dihydric phenol and the bisphenol F curing agent are beneficial to the remarkable improvement of the adhesive bonding strength. Firstly, the two materials contain a double benzene ring structure, which is beneficial to improving the molecular structure rigidity of the epoxy adhesive and contributing to the cohesive strength of the structure. And secondly, the spiro borate group in the spiro borate dihydric phenol is of a double six-membered ring structure, has a structural strength gain effect similar to that of a benzene ring, and further improves cohesive strength. Meanwhile, boron atoms with electron deficiency in spiro borate dihydric phenol tend to combine with donor groups rich in various substrate surfaces and nucleophilic reagents, so that the interface cementing activity is improved, and the interface cementing performance is contributed. Synchronous optimization of cohesive strength and interfacial adhesion performance synergistically shares excellent adhesion strength.
On the basis of the effect of improving the adhesive bonding strength of the adhesive, the B-O bond also has associative reversible crosslinking characteristic, the three-dimensional crosslinked network is endowed with reprocessing performance, the adhesive has repeated bonding performance, and the B-O bond has high bonding energy (809 kJ/mol) so as to avoid the defect that other dynamic bonding groups reduce the structural strength. The dynamic reversible crosslinking characteristic of the B-O can lead the B-O to be structurally degraded under the conditions of acid and the like, thus realizing the degradation and removal of the colloid material.
(3) The invention realizes the remarkable improvement of the structure of the epoxy adhesive based on the spiro borate group, and the prepared vegetable oil-based epoxy resin not only has better adhesive strength, but also has good degradation performance and reworkability.
