摘要
如何在不牺牲环氧基材料热性能的前提下提高其机械性能,仍然是一项巨大的挑战。本研究采用 4,4′-二氨基二苯砜作为固化剂,通过熔融混合技术合成了环氧树脂/双马来酰亚胺(EP/BMI)复合材料。研究发现,EP/BMI 体系存在独特的分层固化机制,包括 (i) EP 和 BMI 单体各自固化,(ii) EP 预聚物和 BMI 单体共聚,(iii) EP 预聚物和 BMI 低聚物均聚。通过分层共聚,EP 和 BMI 相容,没有相分离现象。共聚同时提高了复合材料在应力作用下的抗变形能力,并限制了聚合物链在受热时的热流动性。与纯 EP 树脂相比,EP/BMI 复合材料(4:1)的弯曲强度为 133.6 兆帕、拉伸强度为 106.4 兆帕,韧性为 3.6 兆焦耳/立方米,分别提高了 20.7%、36.4% 和 45.0%。同时,EP/BMI 复合材料的 Tg 和 Yc 也分别提高了 10.3 ℃ 和 12.3%。此外,EP/BMI 复合材料的机械性能和热性能可通过固化条件和 EP:BMI 摩尔比进行有效定制。这一发现为复合材料的设计提供了一个重要基准,并拓展了 EP 和 BMI 材料的应用范围。
Hierarchical curing mechanism in epoxy/bismaleimide composites: Enhancing mechanical properties without compromising thermal stabilities
It remains a considerable challenge to enhance mechanical properties without sacrifice of thermal properties in epoxy-based materials. In this study, epoxy/bismaleimide (EP/BMI) composites were synthesized via a melting blend technique using 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone as the curing agent. It is found that there is a unique hierarchical curing mechanism in EP/BMI systems, including (i) respective curing of EP and BMI monomer, (ii) copolymerization between EP prepolymer and BMI monomer, (iii) homopolymerization of EP prepolymer and BMI oligomer. Via the hierarchical copolymerization, EP and BMI are compatible without phase separation phenomenon. The copolymerization concurrently improved the composites’ resistance to deformation under stress and restricted the thermal mobility of the polymer chains upon heat. Compared to pure EP resin, EP/BMI composite (4:1) shows a flexural strength of 133.6 MPa, tensile strength of 106.4 MPa and toughness of 3.6 MJ/m3 respectively, increased by 20.7 %, 36.4 % and 45.0 %. Meanwhile, Tg and Yc were also improved by 10.3 ℃ and 12.3 % in EP/BMI composite. Furthermore, the mechanical and thermal properties of the EP/BMI composites can be efficiently tailored by curing conditions and EP:BMI molar ratios. This discovery provides a significant benchmark for the design of composite material and to expand the application horizons for both EP and BMI materials.
