Surface Modification of Epoxy Resin with Silicone-containing Block Copolymers

In order to improve oil and water repellency, silicone-containing block copolymers, composed of methylmethacrylate (MMA), glycidylmethacrylate (GMA), and polydimethylsiloxanemethacrylate (SMA), were blended in an epoxy resin. It was expected that the low surface energy dimethylsiloxane segments would adsorb and orient at the exterior of the resin to make a thin surface phase and the glycidyl groups would mesh with the epoxy resin by primary bonding. The techniques of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA), dynamic contact angle (DCA) and peel strength measurements of pressure sensitive adhesives were used to characterize the modified epoxy resin surface phases. The amount of Si_2p obtained via angular dependent ESCA investigation in the near surface region of the modified resin increased with decreasing sampling depth. With an increase in modifier content, both the amount of Si_2p and O_1s also increased. Both advancing and receding contact angles for an aluminum plate coated with modified resin, measured by dipping into and out of water, increased with the addition of these modifiers. The peel strength of a pressure sensitive adhesive tape affixed to the modified epoxy resin decreased dramatically with increasing modifier content. It was found that these copolymers were good surface modifiers to improve oil and water repellency and that they acted as release agents.     

Surface modification of epoxy resin with fluorine-containing methacrylic ester copolymers

To improve oil and water repellency, fluorine-containing block copolymers, which were composed of methyl methacrylate (MMA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), and 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate (PFA), were blended with an epoxy resin. It was expected that a glycidyl group would mesh with the epoxy resin by primary bonding, and the low surface energy fluorocarbon segment would absorb and orient to the exterior to fluorinate the surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle, and peel strength of pressure-sensitive adhesives for modified epoxy resin surface were determined. The amount of fluorine obtained via angular-dependent ESCA investigation in the modified resin surfaces increased with the shallowing of the sampling depth. With increasing modifier content, the amount of fluorine in the modified resin surface layer increased, and the critical surface tension of modified resin surfaces and the peel strength of a silicone pressuresensitive adhesive affixed to the modified epoxy resin, decreased. A considerable amount of fluorine in the resin surface modified with GMA-containing block copolymers remained after Soxhlet extraction, whereas in the surface modified with copolymer without GMA, more fluorine was extracted. It was extracted. It was shown that these copolymers were good surface modifiers to improve oil and water repellency. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

羟基化结合硅烷偶联剂改性对光固化Si3N4膏料性能的影响

采用羟基化结合硅烷偶联剂(KH560)对氮化硅(Si₃N₄)粉体进行表面功能化改性,配制出高固含量、高固化深度的Si₃N₄膏料,并基于立体光固化(SL)工艺制备了高强度的Si₃N₄复杂结构件。结果表明:Si₃N₄表面的KH560改善了粉体与树脂的相容性,降低了Si₃N₄膏料的粘度;同时,KH560的环氧基团(—CH(O)CH₂)与环氧树脂(EA)通过化学键等方式相结合,形成了EA核壳结构,降低了树脂与陶瓷颗粒之间的折射率差,从而提高了Si₃N₄膏料的固化深度。表面羟基化处理后Si₃N₄表面吸附了更多的KH560,从而进一步降低了Si₃N₄膏料的粘度,提高了Si₃N₄膏料的固化深度。最终,用羟基化和KH560改性后的Si₃N₄粉体配制出的Si₃N₄膏料固含量达到50%(体积分数),固化深度达到64 μm。烧结后Si₃N₄试样致密度为83%,断裂韧性为(4.38±0.45) MPa·m^1/2,抗弯强度达到(407.95±10.50) MPa。     

Surface properties of polymer films including multiblock copolymer

B(AB)_n multiblock copolymers of which the A block and the B block are hydrophobic and hydrophilic, respectively, were blended into crosslinkable coating compositions for preparing a hydrophilic surface, and compared with the graft copolymers including A and B as the pendant groups. The main constituent of A was polydimethyl-siloxane and that of B was poly(ethylene oxide). While the block copolymer slightly increased the hydrophobicity of the surface, it quickly became hydrophilic on contact with water. On the contrary, the graft copolymer increased the hydrophobicity even after its contact with water. Elementary analysis with ESCA demonstrated that both the silicon atoms and ether groups were concentrated on the very top of the surface in the films including the block copolymers but only silicon atoms were concentrated on the film surface which included the graft copolymers. In spite of their propensity to remain in the bulk due to their high surface energy, hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) moieties in the block copolymers migrated onto the near surface accompanying the movement of the hydrophobic polydimethyl-siloxane. because their mobility would be restricted by the bonding of both sides. Inclusion of the block copolymers significantly improved soil resistance. The advantage of the block copolymers as a surface modifier was further developed as an adhesion promoter. The introduction of a larger amount of the hydroxyl group into the hydrophilic block was effective for this purpose. This was discussed with respect to the change in the γ_p parameter.     

氟硅改性无溶剂环氧涂料的制备与性能

采用甲基丙烯酸十三氟辛酯（TFM）改性氨基硅油（AS）制备氟化氨基硅油（FAS）,并用其改性环氧树脂（EP）探究氨基硅油及氟化氨基硅油添加量对环氧涂层性能的影响。本文通过红外光谱对改性结果进行表征,通过柔韧性测试、画圈附着力测试、铅笔硬度测试、耐冲击测试、热失重测试、接触角测试、紫外加速老化实验和Tafel极化曲线测试,分别评价涂层的柔韧性、附着力、硬度、耐冲击性、耐热性、疏水性、耐候性和防腐性能,通过扫描电镜对涂层断面进行分析,并通过EDS对涂层进行表面元素分析。结果表明,氟添加量为15%制备氟化氨基硅油改性环氧树脂时,氟硅改性EP涂层相对于未改性EP涂层,硬度由2H提升至3H,附着力由2级提升至1级,柔韧性由1mm提升至0.5mm,耐冲击由45cm提升至50cm,热稳定性增强,接触角由70.5°提升至123°,耐紫外老化（432h）由3级提升至1级,E_corr由-0.6187V正移至-0.1720V,I_corr由1.9858×10^-8A/cm²减小至3.7125×10^-10A/cm²。适量氟化氨基硅油的引入,显著提升了环氧涂层的机械性能、耐候性能和防腐性能。     

Toughening of aromatic diamine-cured epoxy resins by modification with hybrid modifiers composed of N-phenylmaleimide–styrene copolymers and N-phenylmaleimide–styrene–p-hydroxystyrene terpolymers

Hybrid modifiers composed of N-phenylmaleimide–styrene copolymers (PMS), and N-phenylmaleimide–styrene–p-hydroxystyrene terpolymers (PMSH) containing pendent p-hydroxyphenyl groups as functionalities, were used to improve the toughness of bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether epoxy resin cured with p,p′-diaminodiphenyl sulphone. The hybrid modifiers were effective in toughening the epoxy resin. When using the modifier composed of 10 wt% PMS (M?_w 313000) and 2.5 wt% PMSH (2.5 mol% p-hydroxystyrene units, M?_w 316000), the fracture toughness (K_IC) for the modified resins increased 100% with no deterioration in the flexural properties and the glass transition temperature. The improvement in toughness of the epoxy resins was attained because of the co-continuous phase structure and the improvement in interfacial adhesion. The toughening mechanism is discussed in terms of the morphological characteristics of the modified epoxy resin systems.     

改性石墨烯对环氧树脂涂层耐腐蚀性能的影响

将改性后石墨烯粉末通过球磨机均匀分散于环氧树脂涂料中以提高7A52铝合金表面有机涂层的耐腐蚀性能。通过接触角、吸水率、红外光谱、开路电位及交流阻抗测试,分别评价改性石墨烯环氧树脂涂层的表面润湿性、耐水性能、耐蚀性,并通过扫描电子显微镜对石墨烯粉末及环氧树脂涂层断面形貌进行分析。结果表明:环氧树脂涂料中添加0.8%改性石墨烯粉体后,接触角由86.77°增加至101.43°,提高16%,表面由亲水性变为疏水性,涂层的耐水性提高,吸水率降低0.21%。0.8%改性石墨烯涂层在3.5%NaCl溶液中稳定后的开路电位较未添加石墨烯涂层增加0.14 V,阻抗值高出未添加改性石墨烯涂层半个数量级,且电荷转移电阻R_ct比未添加改性石墨烯涂层R_ct高出1.78×10 ⁷ Ω/cm ²,涂层的耐腐蚀性大大提高。红外光谱表明,改性石墨烯并未改变环氧树脂结构,涂层中的改性石墨烯是影响涂层性能发生变化的重要因素。研究表明改性石墨烯的加入可以有效提高涂层的耐蚀性,并且当改性石墨烯添加量为0.8%时,涂层具有优异的耐腐蚀性能。     

A new UV-curable PU resin obtained through a nonisocyanate process and used as a hydrophilic textile treatment

Oligo-fluorosiloxane (DFOS) and epoxy-containing oligo-fluorosiloxane (DFEHOS) were synthesized by the hydrolytic condensation reaction to modify 3, 4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3, 4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (ERL-4221) for potential application in LED packaging. The chemical structures of DFOS and DFEHOS were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), ²⁹Si nuclear magnetic resonance (²⁹Si NMR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thermal behavior, mechanical properties, morphologies of impact fracture surfaces, surface wettability and absorbency of the modified epoxy resins were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile and impact testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and contact angle measurement, respectively. The experimental results indicated that the contact angles, surface energies and water absorption ratios of the modified epoxy resins were effectively improved by the introduction of oligo-fluorosiloxanes. Compared to neat epoxy resin, the thermal stabilities of DFEHOS-modified epoxy resins were basically kept, and that of DFOS-modified epoxy resins were slightly depressed with the increasing content of modifiers. As the additive quantity of modifiers was about 5pph to 15pph relative to ERL-4221, good thermal stability, fracture toughness and surface hydrophobicity of the modified epoxy resin was exhibited, and the cured DFEHOS-10 that embraced the relatively optimum comprehensive property was possible for LED encapsulation. Moreover, the reactable groups formed during hydrolytic condensation in DFOS and DFEHOS made good compatibilities between the modifiers and the epoxy matrix.     

Investigation of Steel/Epoxy Adhesion Durability Using Polymeric Coupling Agents. II. Factors Affecting Adhesion Durability

Ethylene mercaptoester (EME) copolymers containing 23-90 wt% mercaptoester units were employed separately as coupling agents in steel/epoxy peel adhesion systems. As coupling agent functionality is increased the initial adhesion strength of, the steel/EME/epoxy peel systems also increased, approaching a ten-fold improvement over controls for the EME 90 coupling agent. However, the degree of corrosion protection decreased significantly with increasing concentration of mercaptoester units. The best corrosion protection was obtained with the EME 23/epoxy resin system which protected the steel adherend for an average of 48 hours in 57°C water baths. Regardless of the coupling agent used, all of the peel specimens exhibited poor adhesion after 5-11 hours exposure to hot water. Information from hydrolysis stability, water absorption, locus of failure and internal stress analyses when pooled show that the observed adhesion loss is attributable to the effect of water on the epoxy resin used; failure occurred within the epoxy.     

Modification of epoxy resins with acrylic rubbers containing a pendant epoxy group

New acrylic rubbers with a pendant epoxy group were prepared by copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) with vinylbenzyl glycidyl ether (VBGE). The modification of an epoxy system (bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether/p,p′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) with the acrylic rubbers was carried out in order to increase the toughness of the cured epoxy resin. The addition of 20 wt.-% of the copolymer containing 74% of BA and 26% of VBGE units resulted in a 30% increase in the fracture toughness (K_IC) of the cured resin at minimal expenses of strength and modulus of the resin. The modified epoxy resin had two-phase morphology in which the rubber particles with average diameter of 2 μm are dispersed in the epoxy matrix. The copolymer without the pendant epoxy group, prepared from BA and vinylbenzyl methoxyethyl ether, was ineffective as a modifier, indicating that the reaction of the pendant epoxide with the epoxy matrix resulted in good interfacial adhesion between the rubber particles and the matrix, and in the increased toughness. The epoxide-containing copolymers with 55 or 86% of BA units were also insufficient modifiers. The addition of the former yielded cured resins with homogeneous structure, whereas that of the latter resulted in macroscopic phase separation between the rubber and the epoxy resin.     

Effect of the microstructure of copper oxide on the adhesion behavior of epoxy/copper leadframe joints

The thermal oxidation of copper leadframe was carried out at 175°C and the adhesion behavior of the epoxy/copper leadframe joint was analyzed by investigating the microstructure changes of copper oxide with the thermal oxidation time of copper. The peel strength increased sharply at an early stage of oxidation (~20 min) followed by a slight increase. After further oxidation (120 min), the peel strength showed a slight decrease. The contact angles of water and diiodomethane decreased sharply at an early stage of oxidation with negligible change afterwards. As the oxidation time increased, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results revealed that the chemical composition of copper oxide had changed (Cu/Cu₂O → Cu₂O → CuO); this change improved the wettability of the copper surface, which affected the peel strength. Increase of the surface roughness of copper oxide, investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), causes the epoxy resin and copper oxide to undergo mechanical interlocking, which increases the peel strength. Failure analysis by SEM and XPS indicated that failure was largely in the copper oxide, and the amount of copper oxide on the peeled epoxy increased as the oxidation time increased, due to the weak mechanical strength of the oxide layer. However, a small portion of the epoxy resin was also fractured during the failure process, regardless of the oxidation time. Consequently, fracture proceeded mainly in the copper oxide close to the epoxy resin/copper oxide interface.     

Surface properties of the epoxy resin modified by a novel functional fluorinated oligomer

A novel dicarboxyl-terminated poly(2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl acrylate) oligomer (CTHFA) was synthesized through metal-free anionic polymerization and hydrolysis reaction. Chemical structures of CTHFA were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and ¹H NMR. Two types of CTHFA with different chain lengths were initially used as an efficient surface modifier to improve the surface properties of epoxy resin, at the content of CTHFA ranging between 0 and 8 wt%. We minimized the amounts of the CTHFA used to achieve a high hydrophobic surface that was not obviously affected by the thermal properties of the epoxy resin. Surface properties and surface composition of the designed fluorinated epoxy resin were investigated by the contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Modified epoxy resin with 5 wt% CTHFA containing longer chain length showed excellent hydrophobic surface properties (a high water contact angle about 115° and low surface energy 14.12?mN/m²) while the modified epoxy resin with 5 wt% CTHFA containing shorter chain length did not. XPS analyses indicated that the 5 wt% of fluorinated CTHFA epoxy resin with long macromolecular-chain enhanced more fluorinated groups?? migration to the surface than the fluorinated CTHFA-modified epoxy resin with short macromolecular-chain at the same content. Moreover, thermal properties of CTHFA-modified epoxy resin were also investigated.     

Modification of Acid Anhydride-cured Epoxy Resins By N-Phenyl- maleimide–Styrene Copolymers and N-Phenylmaleimide–Styrene– p-Hydroxystyrene Terpolymers

N-Phenylmaleimide–styrene copolymers (PMS) and reactive N-phenylmaleimide–styrene–p-hydroxystyrene (HSt) terpolymers (PMSH) containing p-hydroxyphenyl groups were used to improve the toughness of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether epoxy resin cured with methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride. PMS and PMSH were effective modifiers for epoxies. The morphologies of the modified resins depended on modifier structure and content. The most effective modification for the cured resins was attained because of the co-continuous structure of the modified resins in both PMS and PMSH modification systems. When using 15wt% of PMS (M¯_w 125000), the fracture toughness, K_IC, for the modified resin increased by 230%, with retention of flexural modulus and glass transition temperature, but with a loss of flexural strength, compared with the values for the unmodified epoxy resin. When using PMSH as the reactive modifier, the efficiency decreased with increase in HSt content, because of the increasing extent of dispersion of the PMSH-rich continuous phases. In the modification with 10wt% PMSH (1·0mol% HSt unit, M¯_w 294000), the modified resin had balanced physical properties. © of SCI.

Fluorinated polyacrylates containing amino side chains for the surface modification of waterborne epoxy resin

Fluorinated polyacrylates containing amino side chains (FACAs) were synthesized to improve the water repellency of waterborne epoxy resin. First, FACA was prepared by a two-step process. Then, a phase-inversion emulsion technique, taking FACA as the reactive surface additives, was employed to prepare waterborne epoxy resin. The effect of the fluorinated content and the length of the fluorine side chain on the surface, thermal, and bulk properties of the waterborne epoxy resin were investigated. It was observed that moderate increase of the fluorinated content or the length of the fluorine side chain improved the contact angle and thermal properties while the mechanical property was not deteriorated. A small amount of fluoride (0.07 wt %) in the EA-F1/3-1 sample can dramatically increase the water contact angle from 72.63° to 95.31° due to the strong tendency of the macromonomers to migrate toward the outmost layer, resulting in enrichment of fluorine atoms on the surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed that for a given weight of the two macromonomers, F atomic concentration of the copolymer modified by longer fluorinated side chains was higher than that modified by short fluorinated side chains. From the present investigation, FACA successfully improved the surface property of waterborne epoxy resin and showed a prominent potential application in large-scale industrialization. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modification of aromatic diamine-cured epoxy resins by poly(oxymethylene) or hybrid modifiers containing poly(oxymethylene)

A copolymer comprising poly(oxymethylene) (POM, polyacetal) was used to improve the fracture toughness of a resin based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) cured with 3,3′-dimethyl-5,5′-diethyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane. POM was a less effective modifier for epoxies and a third component was used as a toughener or a compatibilizer for POM. The third component includes polypropylene glycol-type urethane prepolymer (PU) and aromatic polyesters. The hybrid modifiers composed of POM and PU were more effective as modifiers for toughening epoxies than POM alone. In the ternary DGEBA/POM/PU (90/10/10wt ratio) blend, the fracture toughness, K_IC, for the modified resin increased 50% with retention of flexural properties and a slight decrease in glass transition temperature (T_g) compared with those of the unmodified epoxy resin. The aromatic polyesters include poly(ethylene phthalate) (PEP), the related copolyesters and poly(butylene phthalate). PEP was most effective of them as a third component in the hybrid modifier. In the ternary DGEBA/POM/PEP (85/15/10) blend, K_IC for the modified resin increased 70% with medium loss of flexural strength and retention of T_g. The toughening mechanism is discussed in terms of morphological and dynamic viscoelastic behaviour of the modified epoxy resin systems. ©1997 SCI

Studies on The Modification of Epoxy Resin with Silicone Rubber

In order to find a compatibilizer for epoxy resin/silicone rubber systems, interfacial tension of epoxy resin mixed with modified silicone oils which had the compatible groups to epoxy resin was measured against RTV silicone rubber and silicone oil. From the results, it was found that one of polyether modified silicone oils (EtMPS) had strong interfacial activity. Then using the EtMPS as the compatibilizer, RTV silicone rubber or silicone diamine was filled in epoxy resin. The effects of silicone content of these materials on impact fracture energy and on peel strength were investigated. The impact fracture energy of epoxy resin was increased by the addition of RTV silicone rubber up to two times that of unmodified resin while silicone diamine had almost no effect which might be due to the small molecular weight. T-peel strengths of aluminium plates bonded by epoxy resin filled with RTV silicone rubber and with silicone diamine effectively increased with the increasing of silicone content showing the maximum at 10 ∼ 20 phr. The fracture surfaces after the mechanical tests of these materials were observed by a scanning electron microscope. Many particles of silicone rubber in the size of 1 ∼ 20 μ were observed over the fracture surface.
