Eugenol-derived trifunctional epoxy resin: Intrinsic phosphorus-free flame retardancy and mechanical reinforcement for sustainable polymer alternatives
While conventional epoxy resins exhibit outstanding adhesion and mechanical robustness, their inherent limitations in flame retardancy become critically pronounced under the harsh service environment driven by rapid iteration of advanced technologies. Concurrently, bio-based polymers are gaining prominence in advanced materials research due to their ecological benignity, life-cycle sustainability, and structural tunability. In this study, we developed a trifunctional eugenol-derived epoxy precursor (TEPEU), which upon curing with 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) yields an intrinsically flame-retardant bio-based epoxy system (TEPEU/DDS). Benefiting from its rigid aromatic backbone and high-density epoxy functionalities, TEPEU/DDS exhibits exceptional thermal stability (glass transition temperature of 294.5 °C, char yield of 29.8 % at 700 °C in N₂) and superior fire resistance (limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 28.7 %, total heat release (THR) of 15.9 kJ·g⁻¹). Additionally, remarkable mechanical enhancements are observed, with the storage modulus (4.091 GPa), Young's modulus (4.693 GPa), and hardness (0.407 GPa) being higher than those of petroleum-based DGEBA (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/DDS by 48.3 %, 41.1 %, and 49.1 %, respectively. This halogen-free, zero-additive, high-performance bio-epoxy resin presents a sustainable solution for fire-critical applications such as electronic packaging and aerospace composites.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
