As shown in fig. 1 in combination with fig. 2, the method for toughening and modifying an epoxy resin in the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 11, grafting a polymer long chain on a hydroxyl position of graphene by utilizing an Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) reaction to prepare functionalized graphene;
in the technical solution of the present invention, the step 11 can be implemented in various ways.
For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step 11 may specifically be:
step 111, introducing a side group with ATRP active halogen atoms into a hydroxyl position of graphene oxide to synthesize a graphene oxide macroinitiator;
in the step, a side group with ATRP active halogen atoms can be introduced to the hydroxyl position of the graphene oxide by utilizing the reaction activity between the hydroxyl group and the nucleophilic reagent to synthesize the graphene oxide macroinitiator.
And 112, initiating a monomer to perform a polymerization reaction by adopting ATRP, and grafting a polymer long chain onto the graphene oxide to prepare the functionalized graphene.
Through the steps 111 and 112, the functionalized graphene can be prepared.

The two-dimensional nano-structure graphene has excellent mechanical property, thermal stability, excellent electrical property and outstanding magnetic property, so that the two-dimensional nano-structure graphene can be used for enhancing high polymer materials.
In order to improve the performance of the graphene/polymer composite material to the maximum extent, two key factors need to be satisfied: 1) the graphene is uniformly distributed in the polymer matrix; 2) and (3) effectively transferring external load between the graphene-polymer matrix interface.
To solve these problems, graphene and its derivatives may be functionally modified. Among them, the most effective and common is the covalently modified graphene. The graphene oxide prepared by the redox method contains active functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, epoxy group and the like on the surface of a sheet layer, and the existence of the functional groups provides good conditions for realizing graphene functionalization through covalent modification.
After the research, the inventors found that graphene oxide containing functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and epoxy groups on the surface can be used to react with organic halides to form an initiator. Then, a transition metal complex can be used as a halogen atom carrier, and is matched with an initiator to use an initiation monomer to react, so that the polymer long chain is successfully grafted on the surface of the graphene oxide. Because the grafted graphene oxide shows good dispersibility, the functionalized graphene can be uniformly dispersed in a solvent, and epoxy resin is added and uniformly mixed, so that the modification of the epoxy resin is realized.
