Abstract:
Using rosin as raw material, acrylipimaric acid(APA) was synthesized through Diels-Alder reaction and purified, and then the esterification reaction between APA and epoxidized soybean oil(ESO) were performed to prepare a range of APA and ESO copolymer composite materials(APA-ESO) with different molar ratios of carboxyl and epoxy group. The properties of composite materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis, mechanical performance analysis and other methods. Because of the rigid structure of APA, the glass transition temperature(
Tg) of the composite material was much higher than room temperature. The
Tg of APA-ESO1.25 with the molar ratio of carboxyl and epoxy group 1.25 was the highest(85.4℃) and it showed excellent mechanical properties. The tensile strength of APA-ESO1.00 with the molar ratio of 1.00 reached 18.82 MPa. At the same time, the composite materials exhibited excellent self-repair behavior and reprocessing performance. At 180℃, the self-repair efficiency of APA-ESO0.75 with the molar ratio of 0.75 could reach 90.3% at 5 min, and the self-repair efficiency could reach 92.9% at 30 min. Moreover, the composite material APA-ESO1.00 could be reprocessed by hot pressing, and the mechanical properties after reprocessing could reach 89% of the original sample. In addition, APA-ESO1.00 also had a shape memory effect.
