Definitions
- the invention is directed to structural adhesives and composites having high brominated epoxy contents.
- the invention is further directed to methods for preparing such structural adhesives and composites.
- An epoxy resin is a thermoset polymer that contains epoxied groups and forms a polymeric network by crosslinking the epoxied molecules with a curing agent.
- Many epoxy adhesives are prepared using diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) as a monomer and amino compounds or formaldehyde-phenol condensates as curing agents.
- DGEBA diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A
- Aromatic tetraglycidylamine (TGMDA), trifunctional epoxies based on meta and para aminophenol, epoxy novolacs, as well as epoxies based on trisphenol may also be used when high glass transition temperature (Tg) values are required.
- TGMDA Aromatic tetraglycidylamine
- trifunctional epoxies based on meta and para aminophenol, epoxy novolacs, as well as epoxies based on trisphenol may also be used when high glass transition temperature (Tg) values are required.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- Epoxy resins are known to have high chemical resistance to various substances, enhanced dielectric and insulation properties, high chemical compatibility with a wide range of substances, low shrinkage on cure, dimensional stability, and fatigue resistance, and therefore are widely used in the formulation of adhesives and protective coatings.
- Epoxy adhesives are highly cross-linked and amorphous materials when polymerized, thus providing high failure strength and modulus, high temperature durability, and low creep. Yet, such a micro structure leads to less advantageous properties, including poor resistance to crack initiation and growth that leads to brittle materials. Therefore, toughening the epoxy resins may be required to enable resistance to peel, impact, and fatigue.
- aliphatic and aromatic polyamines as well as anhydride and sulfone based materials, such as diamino diphenyl sulfone (DDS), have been incorporated into epoxy resins, providing enhanced toughness, decreased brittleness, without significantly lowering the Tg.
- DDS diamino diphenyl sulfone
- Fillers may also be incorporated into the epoxy resin in order to improve the impact strength of the product; however the use of fillers may decrease the tensile and flexural strength and modulus of the modified epoxies.
- an epoxy resin that is highly tough and not brittle, while still having a high Tg, high chemical resistance to various substances, enhanced dielectric and insulation properties, high chemical compatibility with a wide range of substances, low shrinkage on cure, dimensional stability, and fatigue resistance.
- Such an epoxy resin could be formulated as structural adhesives and/or as a matrix for composite materials.
- Embodiments of the invention are directed to a structural adhesive comprising an epoxy component and a curing agent, wherein the epoxy component comprises at least 10% w/w of a brominated epoxy.
- the epoxy component comprises between about 30-60% w/w of a brominated epoxy.
- Further embodiments of the invention are directed to a process for preparing a structural adhesive comprising an epoxy component and a curing agent, wherein the epoxy component comprises at least 10% w/w of a brominated epoxy, wherein the process comprises: mixing a brominated epoxy with a non-brominated epoxy to provide an epoxy component, wherein the provided epoxy component comprises at least 10% w/w of the brominated epoxy;
- the epoxy component and curing agent mixture at a temperature of between about 25-130°C when the epoxy component and curing agent mixture comprises an aliphatic curing agent, and between about 170-220°C when the epoxy component and curing agent mixture comprises an aromatic curing agent.
- the process of the invention further comprises: either
- the curing agent is an aromatic curing agent.
- the curing agent is an aliphatic curing agent.
- the curing agent is poly-diethyl triamine (DETA), poly-triethylenetetramine (TETA), polyoxypropylenediamine (JEFF AMINE D-230), poly-diamino diphenylsulfone (DDS), or any combination of aliphatic curing agents or any combination of aromatic curing agents.
- DETA poly-diethyl triamine
- TETA poly-triethylenetetramine
- JEFF AMINE D-230 polyoxypropylenediamine
- DDS poly-diamino diphenylsulfone
- the epoxy component comprises at least about 50% w/w of a brominated epoxy compound.
- the brominated epoxy compound is a polymer of brominated diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (BDGEBA).
- the epoxy component includes a polymer of no n- brominated diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA).
- the epoxy component includes a tri-functional epoxy, a tetra-functional epoxy, or any combination thereof.

- the control related to herein is the sample comprising 0% BDGEBAl.
- FIG 4 presenting flexural modulus results of cured DGEBAl/BDGEBAl blends as a function of the BDGEBA1 content, using DETA and TETA as the curing agents.
- the flexural modulus is increased for both DETA and TETA curing agents in all tested DGEBAl/BDGEBAl blends.
- TETA when used, the modulus values increase with the increase of the BDGEBA1 content, while when DETA is used, there is no specific correlation between the modulus values and the BDGEBA1 content.
- blends with 40wt% BDGEBA1 present the highest flexural modulus values.
- FIG. 7 presenting the flexural modulus results obtained from cured DGEBAl/BDGEBAl blends, as a function of BDGEBA1 content, using JEFF AMINE D-230 as the curing agent.
- the DGEBAl/BDGEBAl blends show a lower flexural modulus than the control; however, there is a trend of increase in the flexural modulus with the increase of the BDGEBA1 content.
- DGEBAl/BDGEBAl blends when the JEFF AMINE D-230 curing agent was used, obtained from DMA analysis, compared to the control. An increase in Tg values was observed for all blends containing BDGEBA1, compared to the control.
- the storage modulus of DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 mixtures at 30, 50, 70, 90 wt% BDGEBAl were found to be 935, 1484, 926, and 1415, respectively, at a temperature of about 200°C.
- the drop in the graph defines the Tg of the material. As can be seen in the graph for the neat samples the Tg was about 160°C, while by mixing with BDGEBA, the Tg was increased to about 200°C.
- FIG 10 presenting the flexural strength results obtained from cured DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blends, as a function of BDGEBAl content, using the DDS curing agent.
- the DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blends present flexural strengths similar to that of the control, while the 90wt% BDGEBAl blend presents lower flexural strength than the control.
- Blends with 50wt% and 70wt% BDGEBAl showed similar elongation percentages and flexural modulus compared to the control, while the 30wt% blend showed a decrease in the flexural modulus. All flexural strength ratios exhibited lower values than the control. Blends with 50wt% BDGEBAl exhibit a similar elongation to the control, while blends with 90wt% BDGEBAl present a much lower value.
- Table V below presents tensile properties, including tensile strength, tensile elongation, and Young's Modulus, wherein the DDS curing agent was used to cure the DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 mixtures.
- FIG 14 presenting the viscosity results of cured DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blends, as a function of temperature. As shown in Figure 14, as the BDGEBAl content was increased, the viscosity was higher. This may be caused by the higher molecular weight of the BDGEBAl in comparison to the DGEBA1.
- Figure 15 presenting the SEM micrographs of the fracture surfaces of various DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blends, cured by DETA
- Figures 15 A, 15B, 15C and 15D present the effect of the amount of the brominated epoxy on the morphology of the prepared DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blend.
- Figure 15A shows that the surface of the control, in which 100 wt% of the epoxy component is DGEBA1, is a smooth surface having longitudinal lines that characterize neat epoxy at break.
- the fracture surface of the DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blend in which 40% of the epoxy component is BDGABEl, presents a spherical shape containing structures different from the surrounding surface areas.
- Figures 15C and 15D reveal that 50 and 60% w/w of the epoxy component provide surfaces having a nodular- like structure.
- the circular border lines encompass a center point from which lines extend in a radial direction towards the circular border lines.
- Such structures, as shown in Figures 15C and 15D are known to be obtained by a toughening mechanism, which appears during crack propagation, in epoxy systems.
- Figure 16A presents nodular-like shapes (40 wt% BDGEBAl).
- Figure 16B 50 wt% BDGEBAl
- Figure 16C 60 wt% BDGEBAl
- snow-flake like structures are presented.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- non-treated anodized alumina panels present a trend of increase in the tensile shear strength values with the increase of the BDGEBAl content, while the pre-treated anodized alumina panels do not exhibit a certain trend.
- the 40wt% BDGEBAl blend presents the highest tensile shear strength mean value.
- Adhesive failure- A Cohesive failure- C; Mixed- M
- Adhesive failure- A Cohesive failure- C; Mixed- M
- D-230 as curing-agent lowered the hardness values of the epoxy matrix compared to the other curing agents, possibly due to the presence of etheric groups. Further, an increase in brominated epoxy weight percentage resulted in higher viscosity of the BDGEBA1/DGEBA1 blend. Mechanical mixing resulted in changing the curing behavior, as shown in the results above, possibly attributed to a uniform dispersion of the solid brominated epoxy in the liquid neat epoxy.
- BDGEBA1/DGEBA1 prepared using the JEFF AMINE T-403 curing agent, exhibited a significant increase in Tg values with an increase of BDGEBA1 content. All blends displayed higher strength values than the control. Blend with 40wt% BDGEBA1 demonstrated an outstanding improvement of elongation (-60%). Peel strength exhibited similar average strength with a cohesive failure mode for all blends. Shear strength values of blends were low compared to control. It should be noted that most of the specimens presented adhesive failure mode. It is suggested that higher viscosities of brominated blends resulted in poor wetting of the aluminum substrates, which caused poor adhesion of the brominated epoxy blends to the substrate. The 60wt% BDGEBA1 blend was the highest brominated epoxy content applicable blend.
- Figures 22A, 22B, 22C and 22D presents SEM micrographs of the fracture surface of DGEBA1/BDGEBA1 blends, cured with DDS.
- the Brominated Epoxy component in the blend comprises ( Figure 22A) BDGEBA1 0 wt%, ( Figure 22B) BDGEBA1 50 wt%, ( Figure 22C) BDGEBA1 70 wt%, ( Figure 22C) BDGEBA1 90 wt%.
- the fracture surface of all of the blends, including the control ( Figure 22A) presented an abundance of nodular structures. Moreover, control specimen exhibited rougher fracture surface compared to all BDGEBA1 blends.
