Sustainably sourced Schiff base vitrimeric epoxy networks with intrinsic flame retardancy, degradability and shape-memory capabilities
The three-dimensional cross-linking network endows epoxy thermosets with outstanding application performance, rendering epoxy thermosets indispensable in the field of materials. It also makes epoxy thermosets insoluble and immiscible. Moreover, epoxy thermosets are derived mainly from non-renewable fossil resources, causing an environmental crisis. In addition, epoxy thermosets are flammable and pose a significant fire hazard. To address these problems, three Schiff base curing agents were prepared in this work by utilizing p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, vanillin and syringaldehyde. Three structurally distinct curing agents were utilized to prepare epoxy vitrimers incorporating dynamic imine bonds. The epoxy vitrimers exhibited outstanding mechanical properties. The incorporation of the Schiff base structure into the cross-linking network greatly enhanced the fire safety of the epoxy vitrimers. The epoxy vitrimers demonstrated excellent chemical resistance and could be selectively degraded in an acetone solution of hydrochloric acid. In addition, the epoxy vitrimers demonstrated excellent shape memory properties and significant stress relaxation. This work provides a novel strategy for the preparation of intrinsically flame-retardant bio-based epoxy vitrimers and innovatively investigates the influence of methoxy groups on the properties of epoxy vitrimers.
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.
