Catalyst-promoted Dynamic Restructuring and Recycling Properties of Epoxy Resin Interpenetrating Networks
Epoxy resin has excellent electrical insulation properties
heat resistance
and mechanical strength
and is widely used in electrical equipment
however
it is difficult for the traditional epoxy resin cured to recycle and remanufacture; meanwhile
with the introduction of dynamic bonding and catalysts
epoxy resin recycling is also gradually possible
however
the direct introduction of catalysts will affect the intrinsic properties of the resin and other materials
the traditional hot-pressing recycling of epoxy resin requires the particles required for traditional hot press recycling to be small
and the cost of industrial recycling is high. In this paper
we propose a direct composite of TBD and dual-cured resin recycling particles to enhance the dynamic restructuring of the interpenetrating network
which retains the excellent properties of the epoxy resin itself and achieves a good recycling effect of the epoxy resin in large particles; moreover
we study the mechanical and dielectric properties of the recycled specimens with large-size recycling particles under different hot-pressing conditions. The results show that mixing TBD with crushed particles of dual-cured resin and then hot-pressing the recycled particles can improve the interfacial healing ability of the large-size recycled dual-cured epoxy resin without affecting its original properties. The bending strength of the sample containing 2% TBD was recovered to 46.0 MPa
with a performance recovery rate of 51.68%; the breakdown strength was recovered to 21.7 kV
with a performance recovery rate of 66.98%.Thus the problem of high cost and difficulty of traditional epoxy resin recycling can be effectively solved.
