Anhydride-cured epoxy resins are widely used in wind turbine blades
aerospace composites
and high-voltage power equipment due to their excellent insulating properties
mechanical strength
and thermal stability.However
the three-dimensional irreversible cross-linking network formed by the curing of epoxy resins makes the materials difficult to be recycled
resulting in waste of resources and environmental pollution
and restricting the sustainable development.In response to the strategic direction of the national circular economy
this study systematically reviews the research progress of degradable anhydride-cured epoxy resins
focuses on the three major technological paths such as ester exchange-catalyzed dynamic remodeling
dynamic covalent bonding
and biobased modification
and comprehensively evaluates the advantages and limitations of physical
chemical
and other recycling technologies.By comparing the existing recycling methods
the development direction of recycling technology is proposed to provide theoretical supports and technical route reference for the construction of closed-loop recycling system.
