Abstract

Design of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) that avoid high costs and complex preparation procedures is critical for sustainable development. Herein, a recyclable and degradable epoxy-sulfur CAN (ExSy) was prepared by mixing bio-based epoxy and sulfur under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions. The epoxy was derived from the abundant and inexpensive bio-resource itaconic acid, and sulfur is a naturally occurring and abundant by-product of oil and gas desulfurization. The resulting ExSy exhibits surprisingly tunable properties, including excellent tensile strength (∼65 MPa) and creep resistance, surpassing those of previously reported CANs prepared via inverse vulcanization. Furthermore, ExSy has potential applications in the adhesive and carbon fiber composite fields, enabling reclamation of carbon fibers. This work presents a sustainable and cost-effective strategy for developing high-performance CANs using bio-based and industrial by-product feedstocks, and the reuse of carbon fibers contributes to circular economy principles, reducing waste and resource consumption in material applications.
由衣康酸基环氧树脂和硫衍生的共价自适应网络:易合成及其在粘合剂和碳纤维复合材料中的应用
共价自适应网络(can)的设计避免了高昂的成本和复杂的制备过程,对可持续发展至关重要。在无溶剂和无催化剂的条件下,将生物基环氧树脂与硫混合制备了可回收、可降解的环氧硫CAN (ExSy)。环氧树脂来源于丰富而廉价的生物资源衣康酸,硫是油气脱硫过程中自然产生的丰富副产品。所得的ExSy具有令人惊讶的可调性能,包括优异的抗拉强度(~ 65 MPa)和抗蠕变性能,超过了以前报道的通过反硫化制备的can。此外,ExSy在粘合剂和碳纤维复合材料领域具有潜在的应用前景,可以实现碳纤维的回收利用。本研究为利用生物基和工业副产品原料开发高性能can提供了一种可持续和具有成本效益的策略,碳纤维的再利用有助于循环经济原则,减少材料应用中的浪费和资源消耗。

期刊介绍: Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
