Description

Polyurethane modified epoxy resin composition, application thereof and polyurethane modified epoxy resin
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an epoxy resin composition having excellent properties such as impregnation into a fibrous base material, heat resistance and damping properties, a cured product using the epoxy resin composition, and the like, and more particularly, to a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin composition, an application thereof, and a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin.
Background
Epoxy resins are used in a large amount in various applications such as matrix resins for composite materials such as electric insulating materials (casting, impregnating, laminated sheets, sealing materials) and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics, CFRP), structural adhesives, and heavy anticorrosive coatings, because they are excellent in processability and exhibit various cured product characteristics such as high heat resistance, high insulation reliability, high rigidity, high adhesion, and high corrosion resistance.
In contrast, epoxy resin cured products have low elongation at break, low fracture toughness, and low peel strength, and therefore, in matrix resin applications and structural adhesive applications of composite materials requiring these properties, the properties are improved by various modifications such as rubber modification and polyurethane modification.
Regarding polyurethane modification, for example, patent document 1 and patent document 2 disclose diglycidyl ether of bisphenol a-alkylene oxide adduct (a), and an epoxy resin/polyurethane mixture (B) containing an epoxy resin and a polyurethane dispersed in the epoxy resin, wherein the polyurethane is obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate compound with a curing agent capable of reacting with the polyisocyanate compound in the epoxy resin.
Patent document 3 discloses a resin composition containing a compound having an epoxy group and a polyurethane having a structural unit represented by the general formula (II) in the molecule.
Patent document 4 discloses a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin obtained by modifying a bisphenol-type epoxy resin (a) with a medium-high molecular weight polyol compound (b), a polyisocyanate compound (c) and a low molecular weight polyol compound (d) as a chain length extender, using a predetermined amount of the epoxy resin (a), reacting the medium-high molecular weight polyol compound (b) with the polyisocyanate compound (c) in a predetermined amount, and then adding a predetermined amount of the low molecular weight polyol compound (d).
Patent document 5 discloses a polycarbonate-modified epoxy resin in which a hydroxyl group-containing epoxy resin (a), a polyisocyanate compound (B), and a polycarbonate polyol (C) are used as necessary reaction raw materials, and the polycarbonate polyol (C) is a predetermined amount.
Patent document 6 discloses an epoxy resin composition for a fiber-reinforced composite material, which is obtained by blending an epoxy resin (a), a urethane prepolymer (B) having a structure derived from a polyether polyol and having isocyanate groups or hydroxyl groups at both ends of a molecular chain, and a hardener (C), wherein (a) and (B) are compatible before the hardening reaction, and after the hardening reaction, (a) forms a sea structure, and (B) forms an island structure, and a cured product of the obtained epoxy resin composition has a sea-island phase separation structure.
As another method, patent documents 7 to 9 disclose an epoxy resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin such as an epoxy resin or a polyethersulfone resin, and a hardener.
Patent document 10 discloses the following: a resin layer containing a thermoplastic resin having a polyarylether skeleton and particles containing a thermoplastic resin and a thermosetting resin is formed to improve impact characteristics.
However, even with these patent documents, the required characteristics may not be satisfied sufficiently. Disclosed is a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin which satisfies the requirements for physical properties and excellent damping properties in various applications. By providing the resin itself with damping properties, it is expected that the deterioration of mechanical properties, thermal properties, chemical resistance, and the like of a cured product due to the addition of an elastomer having poor heat resistance and solvent resistance can be suppressed, or that the formation of a stress relaxation layer (adhesive layer) is not required.

Detailed Description
The polyurethane modified epoxy resin composition of the present invention is characterized in that: the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) contains, as essential components, a polyurethane-unmodified epoxy resin (a) and a hardener (C) as a regulator of the polyurethane concentration, and contains 20 to 70% by weight of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) relative to the total amount (solid content) of the epoxy resin composition.
The resin composition of the present invention may optionally contain a hardening accelerator (D), and further contain an inorganic filler such as calcium carbonate, talc, or titanium dioxide as an extender or a reinforcing material.
The polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) used in the present invention is an epoxy resin having an average of two or more epoxy groups in the molecule such as a liquid bisphenol-type epoxy resin (a-1) or an aliphatic epoxy resin (a-2) [ hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as an epoxy resin (a) ], a polyether polyol compound such as polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) (B-1), and a polyisocyanate compound (c) as essential components. From the viewpoints of optimization of physical properties and viscosity, fine adjustment of compatibility, molecular weight control, and the like, polyol compound (b-2) having a number average molecular weight of 500 or more including compounds other than PTMG, and low molecular weight polyol compound (d) having a number average molecular weight of less than 500 as a chain extender can be suitably used. The number average molecular weight described herein is a value converted from a hydroxyl value (hydroxyl value), and the hydroxyl value is usually measured by a measurement method based on japanese industrial standard (Japanese Industrial Standards, JIS) K1557. The following is the same.
The components of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) will be described below.
As the epoxy resin (a) having two or more epoxy groups on average in the molecule, the use of the above-mentioned (a-1) or (a-2) is preferable. It is preferable in terms of having two or more epoxy groups in the molecule on average, and exhibiting various physical properties in the reaction with the subsequent curing agent.
The epoxy resin (a-1) is a preferable component for exhibiting heat resistance and mechanical properties, and is preferably in a liquid state at ordinary temperature, and in this respect, it has an epoxy equivalent of 300g/eq or less. Further preferred are epoxy resins having an epoxy equivalent of 150g/eq to 300g/eq and a hydroxyl equivalent of 800g/eq to 3600 g/eq. Specifically, a bisphenol type epoxy resin containing a secondary hydroxyl group having an epoxy equivalent of 150g/eq to 200g/eq and a hydroxyl equivalent of 2000g/eq to 3000g/eq represented by the following general formula (1) is preferable.
Wherein R is 1 Each independently represents H or alkyl, and a is a number from 0 to 10. At R 1 In the case of an alkyl group, the carbon number is preferably in the range of 1 to 3, more preferably 1.
Particularly preferred epoxy resins (a-1) are bisphenol A type epoxy resins represented by the formula (1 a) and/or bisphenol F type epoxy resins represented by the formula (1 b).
Wherein a1 and a2 are numbers of 0 to 10.
In the formulas (1), (1 a) and (1 b), the average value (number average) of the repetition numbers a, a1 and a2 is in the range of 1 to 5, preferably in the range of 1 to 3.
The epoxy resin (a-2) is a preferable component for reducing the viscosity of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin and the composition using the same, and the viscosity at 25 ℃ is preferably 100 mPas to 5000 mPas. The epoxy resin having a hydroxyl group in the structure may have either a primary hydroxyl group or a secondary hydroxyl group, and either of them may be used for the reaction, or the hydroxyl group of the epoxy resin whose terminal glycidation is not completed at all may be used. From the viewpoint of reducing the viscosity of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin and the composition using the same, it is preferable to use the aliphatic epoxy resin (a-2) having 1/3 or more of the total mole number of the epoxy resin (a) to be reacted with the epoxy resin (a). More preferably 1/2 or more of the mole number, and still more preferably 2/3 or more of the mole number. Further, the "number of moles" mentioned herein is preferably a value obtained by dividing the amount (mass) of each epoxy resin to be used by the hydroxyl equivalent to convert it into a unit of functional group. In the present invention, it is assumed that one of the secondary hydroxyl groups of the epoxy resin (a-1) and the polymer of the epoxy resin (a-2) (for example, in the case of a=1 or more of the above formula (1)) reacts with an isocyanate group to form a urethane prepolymer in the form of an end-capped urethane structure, but it is also assumed that the end of the urethane structure is not end-capped and tends to contribute to the extension of a molecular chain or the gelation due to the increase of a molecular weight when a=2 or more. Therefore, since a=1 bodies account for most of the contents except for a=0 bodies, a case is envisaged in which the value divided by the hydroxyl equivalent generally shows the number of n1 bodies. Therefore, this number is expressed as a mole number, and the ratio of numbers is expressed as a mole ratio.
The aliphatic epoxy resin (a-2) is preferably polyglycidyl ether of a dibasic or more aliphatic alcohol, and may have an alicyclic skeleton. Examples of the dibasic aliphatic alcohol include: 1, 4-butanediol, 3-methyl-1, 5-pentanediol, diethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, 1, 6-hexanediol, 1, 9-nonanediol, cyclohexanedimethanol, propylene glycol, and the like. Further, as the aliphatic alcohol having three or more members, there may be mentioned: glycerol, trimethylol propane, trimethylol ethane, tetramethylol propane, sorbitol, pentaerythritol, and the like. Among them, polyglycidyl ethers of trimethylolpropane are preferable in terms of viscosity, compatibility, mechanical properties and the like.
As the polyether polyol compound (contained in the polyol compound described later), a compound having a primary hydroxyl group at the terminal as in the following (b-1) and (b-2) or the like can be preferably used. For example, polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) (b-1) is a linear polyether glycol having primary hydroxyl groups represented by the following formula (2 a) at both ends, and has a number average molecular weight of about 200 to, for example, more than 4000. In addition, the polyether polyol compound is contained in the polyol compound.

In the present invention, the number average molecular weight is preferably about 500 to 4000, and is preferably 2000 to 4000 in terms of compatibility with the resin, damping performance, and the like.
Examples of the polyether polyol compound (b-2) other than PTMG include compounds represented by the following formulas (2 b) to (2 d): polyethylene glycol (polyethylene glycol, PEG), polypropylene glycol (polypropylene glycol, PPG), polyethylene glycol (polyethylene propylene glycol, PEPG), copolymers of two or more alkylene oxides (e.g., ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers), and the like. As the (b-2), a polyol compound such as a lactone-modified polyol, a polyester polyol, a polycarbonate polyol or the like may be used within a range that does not hinder the object of the present invention, and one or two or more of them may be used in combination. As for these (b-2) components, those having the same number average molecular weight as (b-1) are preferable.
Here, R is 2 And b1, b2 and b3 are independently a number of 1 to 50, and c is a number of 0 or 1.
Here, q1, q2, q3, q4 are independently a number of 1 to 20.
Here, r, s, t are independently a number of 1 to 20, and n is a number of 1 to 50.
The number of NCO groups of the polyisocyanate compound (c) is not less than 2, but is preferably not less than 2. Also preferably represented by the general formula (3) and R 4 A compound which is a divalent group selected from the group consisting of the formulas (i) to (vi). Among these, a compound excellent in compatibility with the epoxy resin (a) can be preferably selected.
Specifically, there may be mentioned: toluene diisocyanate (tolylene diisocyanate, TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (diphenyl methane diisocyanate, MDI), xylylene diisocyanate (xylylene diisocyanate, XDI), hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate (hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, HXDI), isophorone diisocyanate (isophorone diisocyanate, IPDI), naphthalene diisocyanate, and the like. Each of which may be any one of the isomers or a mixture of the isomers.
OCN-R 4 -NCO
(3)
Here, R is 4 Preferably a divalent group selected from the group consisting of formulas (i) to (vi). In formula (ii) and formula (v), the methyl group is omitted.
In particular, 4' -diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) represented by formula (3 a) is more preferable from the viewpoints of low molecular weight, no thickening, low cost, safety, and the like. In addition, toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) (2, 4-TDI and/or 2, 6-TDI), meta-Xylene Diisocyanate (XDI) as exemplified in examples described later can also be more preferably used.
The low molecular weight polyol compound (d) is a polyol compound having a number average molecular weight of less than 500. Preferably less than 200. It is used as chain extender. The diol compound represented by the formula (4) and having two primary hydroxyl groups is preferable.
HO-R 5 -OH (4)
Here, R is 5 The alkylene group represented by the formula (vii) is represented by the formula (vii), and g is a number of 1 to 10.
The low molecular weight polyol compound (d) includes, for example, polyols such as 1, 4-butanediol and 1, 6-pentanediol. In particular, 1, 4-butanediol is more preferable in terms of easy availability and balance of price and characteristics.
Next, a description will be given of a reaction mechanism by using any or all of the components (a-1), (a-2), (b-1), (b-2), (c) and (d) exemplified above together with a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin. The components may be used singly or in combination.
The OH groups in the epoxy resin (a) (e.g., (a-1), (a-2)) are mainly secondary OH groups. On the other hand, the OH groups of polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) (b-1) and polyether polyol compound (b-2) other than PTMG are mainly primary OH groups. Therefore, when the epoxy resin (a), the polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) (b-1) and/or the polyether polyol compound (b-2) other than PTMG, the polyisocyanate compound (c) and the like are charged and reacted, the primary OH group of the (b-1) or (b-2) and the NCO group of the polyisocyanate compound (c) react preferentially.
Typically, it is considered that the primary OH groups in (b-1) and (b-2) react with the NCO groups in (c) first to form a urethane prepolymer (P1) having their NCO group ends bonded thereto. That is, the urethane prepolymer (P1) has a structure derived from the polyether polyol and a structure derived from the polyisocyanate compound bonded thereto. The structure derived from polyether polyol means the remaining structure of the polyether polyol compound after at least one hydroxyl group (which may be partially) at the molecular end is removed. The structure derived from the polyisocyanate compound means a residual structure of the polyisocyanate compound after at least one isocyanate group (may include a part) at the molecular end is removed. It is preferably produced as a urethane prepolymer (P1) having NCO groups at both terminals after the reaction. Thereafter, the OH group (preferably, a secondary OH group) in the epoxy resin (a) reacts with the terminal NCO group of the urethane prepolymer (P1) to form a urethane bond, and the urethane prepolymer (P2) is formed by adding the epoxy resin (a) to both ends or one end of the urethane prepolymer (P1).
That is, the urethane prepolymer (P) is considered to be a mixture of an NCO group-terminated urethane prepolymer (P1) and a urethane prepolymer (P2) having an epoxy resin (a) [ structure derived from the epoxy resin (a) ] added to both ends or one end of P1, but since the molar ratio of NCO groups is large, and the epoxy resin is excessively used in addition, it is considered that the urethane prepolymer (P2) having an epoxy resin added to both ends of P1 is mainly produced. The structure derived from the epoxy resin means a residual structure after removing at least one hydroxyl group (which may include a part) in the epoxy resin.
The epoxy resin (a) is preferably incorporated in an amount of 50 to 85% by weight based on the total amount of the components (a), (b-1), (b-2), (c) and (d). As the loading ratio of the epoxy resin (a) increases, both ends or one end of the urethane prepolymer (P1) are sealed with the epoxy resin (a), terminal NCO groups are consumed, the amount of the urethane prepolymer (P2) which does not react with the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) as a chain extender also increases, the proportion of the initial urethane prepolymer (P1) which is terminal NCO groups decreases, and the amount of the produced polyurethane by the reaction of the terminal NCO groups of P1 with the OH groups of the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) as a chain extender decreases, so that the molecular weight distribution of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin also shifts to the low molecular weight side.
Conversely, when the loading ratio of the epoxy resin (a) is reduced, the amount of the urethane prepolymer (P2) having both ends or one end sealed with the epoxy resin (a) is reduced, and the ratio of the initial urethane prepolymer (P1) having the terminal NCO group maintained therein is increased. Therefore, the amount of polyurethane formed by the reaction of the terminal NCO groups of P1 with the OH groups of the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) as a chain extender increases, and thus the molecular weight distribution of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin also shifts to the high molecular weight side.
The epoxy resin (a) is, for example, a mixture of a single-unit compound having a repetition number a of 0 and a polymer having a repetition number a of 1 or more, and the polymer has a secondary OH group formed by ring-opening of an epoxy group. The secondary OH group is reactive with the NCO group of the polyisocyanate compound (c) or the NCO group at the end of the urethane prepolymer (P), and thus, when the epoxy resin (a-1) or the epoxy resin (a-2) has a secondary OH group (for example, a=1 or more of the formula (1)). In addition, in the case where the epoxy resin (a) does not have a secondary OH group (for example, a=0 body in the formula (1), etc.), the reaction is not involved. As described above, the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) of the present invention is understood to have a complex structure in which any or all of the above-described components (a-1), (a-2), (B-1), (B-2), (c) and (d) are reacted, and is in the form of a mixture containing the above-described epoxy resin (a) having no OH group in a state that is considered not directly involved in the reaction or the expression of the function but is difficult to be completely distinguished or excluded, and therefore, there are some cases where the component (B) cannot be directly determined by the structure or characteristics thereof, or is substantially not practical (so-called impossible/not practical cases).
The polyurethane modified epoxy resin composition of the present invention exhibits damping properties because the polyurethane modified epoxy resin portion undergoes phase separation in the epoxy resin composition. When phase separation is mentioned, it is generally reported that a sea-island structure is formed, but in the present invention, a state in which island portions are connected to each other is obtained instead of a sea-island structure in which island portions exist in a spherical shape. Such a phase separation structure is called a mutually invasive structure, a mutually connecting structure, or the like, and in the present invention, it is desirable to have a phase separation structure having a mutually invasive structure or a mutually connecting structure at least partially. When a polyurethane-modified epoxy resin having a structure derived from a polyether polyol and containing at least 30 mol% of a polyether polyol compound which is polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) is used, the island portion (polyurethane-modified epoxy resin portion) after phase separation has a gentle peak in the range of-40 ℃ to 40 ℃, and the island portion and the sea portion (epoxy resin portion) are hardly compatible with each other to be separated from each other, and a structure in which the island portions are mutually connected to each other is obtained, whereby a high loss coefficient (tan delta) can be exhibited in the temperature range of-40 ℃ to 40 ℃ and the temperature range before and after. Therefore, in order to form the phase separation structure of the present invention, it is necessary to control the size or number of island portions, compatibility with sea portions, and the like.
As one of the control factors of the phase separation structure, the amount of the urethane moiety can be cited. The urethane part is a part of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin in which the polyether polyol compound and the polyisocyanate compound react, and the size, number, shape, and the like of the island part greatly vary depending on the amount of the urethane part in the composition. Fig. 1 to 2 show examples of the phase-separated state as images, and it can be seen that: in the present invention, if the amount of the urethane component described later in the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B), that is, the blending amount of the polyol compound and the polyisocyanate compound, is 17% by weight relative to the total amount of the component (a) and the component (B), phase separation occurs at a level where the island structure is clearly visible as shown in fig. 1, but if it is 13% by weight, the island structure is fine as shown in fig. 2. In a state where the island structure is completely formed and the island portion exists alone in a size of several nanometers to several tens of nanometers, tan δ is low, and if the island portion is aggregated in a size of several hundred nanometers to several micrometers and a shade starts to appear in the island structure, a behavior in which tan δ rises is confirmed. Further, when the phase separation is further performed, the island portion is connected to a phase separation structure having a size of several tens to several hundreds of micrometers, and more preferable tan δ is shown. However, if the phase separation size is too large, the mechanical properties are lowered. In order to form the phase separation structure of the present invention, the island size of the phase separation is preferably 10nm to 200. Mu.m, more preferably 100nm to 100. Mu.m, particularly preferably 1 μm to 100. Mu.m.
The size of the islands that govern phase separation is not only the molecular weight of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin, but also the compatibility with the sea becomes important. If the compatibility is high, the island portion and the sea portion are compatible with each other at the time of hardening the epoxy resin composition, and a desired phase separation structure cannot be formed without phase separation. Thus, in order to form the preferred size and number of islands, the polyurethane modified epoxy resin of the islands needs to have a certain degree of molecular weight size and be incompatible with the unmodified epoxy resin of the sea. Further, as the time passes at the time of phase separation, the incompatible islands gradually link each other to form a large domain (domain), which causes a decrease in mechanical properties and the like. Therefore, it is necessary to select an optimum molecular weight or composition of the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin according to the viscosity of the resin composition or the curing conditions (curing temperature, curing time, and heating rate) corresponding to the use.
The polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) preferably has a structure derived from a polyether polyol compound in which 30 mol% or more is a structure derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) so that Tg of the island portion after phase separation has a gentle peak in a range of-40 ℃ to 40 ℃. More preferably 50 mol% or more, still more preferably 75 mol% or more, and most preferably 100 mol% can be used. The term "mole" as used herein means a value obtained by dividing the weight of each component by the number average molecular weight.
Since the island portion after phase separation is incompatible with the sea portion, the polyurethane modified epoxy resin (B) is preferably: the weight average molecular weight is 8000 or more, and the amount of urethane component (B), that is, the amount of polyol compound and polyisocyanate compound blended in the component (B) is 13.5 wt% or more relative to the total amount of the component (a) and the component (B). The weight average molecular weight may be more preferably 10000 or more, still more preferably 12000 or more and 45000 or less, still more preferably 12000 or more and 35000 or less. In order to form a desired phase separation structure, the amount of the urethane component (B), that is, the blending amount of the polyol compound and the polyisocyanate compound, to be described later, may be more preferably 13.5% by weight or more and 19% by weight or less relative to the total amount of the component (a) and the component (B).
As a method for producing the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin (B) used in the present invention, for example, a method is used in which (a-1) and (a-2) are used as the epoxy resin (a) in an amount of 50 to 85% by weight based on the total amount of the polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG) (B-1) as the polyether polyol compound, (B-2) other than PTMG, (c) the polyisocyanate compound and the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) having a number average molecular weight of less than 500 as the chain extender, and (B-1), (B-2) and the polyisocyanate compound (c) are reacted in the presence of the epoxy resin (a) (reaction 1). In the above reaction 1, the reaction of (b-1), (b-2) with the polyisocyanate compound (c) preferentially occurs to produce the urethane prepolymer (P1). Thereafter, the urethane prepolymer (P1) and the epoxy resin (a) are reacted to mainly produce a urethane prepolymer (P2) having both ends of P1 epoxidized.
The reaction of the urethane prepolymer (P1) with the epoxy resin (a) requires that the OH groups (mainly, low-reactivity secondary OH groups) in the epoxy resin (a) react with the NCO groups of P1 to form urethane bonds, and thus the reaction temperature is preferably in the range of 80 to 150 ℃, and the reaction time is preferably in the range of 1 to 5 hours.
Thereafter, the molar ratio (P1) of NCO groups in the urethane prepolymer (P1) to OH groups in the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) is optionally: (d) becomes 0.9:1.0 to 1.0: the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) was added in a range of 0.9 to carry out the polyurethane reaction (reaction 2). Further, the epoxy group of the epoxy resin and the OH group of the polyol compound (d) are alcoholic OH groups, and thus do not react.
The reaction temperature of the reaction 2 is preferably in the range of 80℃to 150℃and the reaction time is preferably in the range of 1 hour to 5 hours, but the reaction between the NCO groups and the OH groups in the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) is preferably under milder conditions than the reaction 1.
In the course of the reactions (reactions 1 and 2), a catalyst may be used as necessary. The catalyst is used for the purpose of sufficiently completing the formation of urethane bonds, and examples thereof include amine compounds such as ethylenediamine, tin compounds, and zinc compounds.
In reaction 2, the remaining urethane prepolymer (P1) having NCO at both ends or one end is reacted with the low molecular weight polyol compound (d), the chain length is extended and polyurethane is formed, and the urethane prepolymer (P2) having an adduct of epoxy resin (a) at both ends is left unreacted with the component (d).
When the low molecular weight polyol compound (d) is not used, the terminal NCO reacts with each hydroxyl group to form the urethane prepolymer (P2) when the polyisocyanate compound (c) is added.
The polyurethane-modified epoxy resin used in the present invention preferably has an epoxy equivalent of 180g/eq to 1000g/eq and a viscosity of 0.1 Pa.s to 30 Pa.s at 120 ℃.
By increasing or decreasing the blending amount of the polyurethane unmodified epoxy resin (a), the polyurethane concentration in the polyurethane modified epoxy resin composition can be increased or decreased. Here, if the above-exemplified components are used, the polyurethane concentration in the epoxy resin composition is calculated by the following equation, but the kind of each component is not limited thereto.
Polyurethane concentration = { (B-1) + (B-2) + (C) + (d) } ×100/{ (a) + (B) + (C) }
In this case, (B) = (a-1) + (a-2) + (B-1) + (B-2) + (c) + (d).
Here, (a-1), (a-2), (B-1), (B-2), (C), (d), (A), (B) and (C) are the weights of the respective components used. In addition, when other components, for example, the hardening accelerator (D) and the like are blended, these other components are added to the denominator.

As (a-2), polyglycidyl ethers of trimethylolpropane are preferable from the viewpoints of viscosity, compatibility, mechanical properties and the like.
In the polyurethane-modified epoxy resin composition of the present invention, as the polyurethane-unmodified epoxy resin (a), a trifunctional or higher-functional epoxy resin may be used for the purpose of adjusting viscosity or increasing Tg. When a multifunctional epoxy resin is used, the crosslinking density increases, and the phase separation state changes or the fracture toughness is lost, so that the content is preferably 0.1 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

In the case where the curing agent is DICY, the blending amount of the curing agent (C) is preferably from the viewpoint of the cured product characteristics: the ratio of the number of moles of epoxy groups of the total epoxy resins including the polyurethane modified epoxy resin (B) and the polyurethane unmodified epoxy resin (a) to the number of moles of active hydrogen groups of dic was set to 1:0.3 to 1:1.2, preferably 1:0.9 to 1:1.1.
The urethane-modified epoxy resin composition of the present invention may further contain a hardening accelerator (D). The hardening accelerator (D) is preferably used for suppressing an increase in impregnation into the reinforcing fiber and viscosity when the imidazole-based hardening aid is mixed, and is also preferably used for satisfying heat resistance at the time of hardening.

On the other hand, depending on the application and the method, hardening in a short time as described above may not be required.

The amount of the hardening accelerator (D) is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5wt% based on the total of the entire epoxy resin including the polyurethane modified epoxy resin (B) and the polyurethane unmodified epoxy resin (a) and the hardening agent (C).
The epoxy resin composition of the present invention may optionally contain a release agent (E) according to the use or the working method. The release agent may be a liquid release agent, a solid (powder) release agent, or the like, and may be a liquid release agent at ordinary temperature (10 to 30 ℃) so that even in a low-viscosity composition, the release agent can be uniformly mixed. In addition, by mixing a release agent into the resin, the drawing formability is improved. This improves the orientation of the fibers in the molded article, and therefore, the mechanical properties such as compression strength of the molded article are increased, and the adhesion to the adhesive is increased due to the smooth surface.
The amount of the release agent to be blended is preferably 0.1 to 6 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the entire epoxy resin. More preferably 0.1 to 4 parts by mass. If the amount is less than 0.1 part by mass, sufficient releasability may not be obtained. If the amount exceeds 6 parts by mass, the strength of the molded article may be lowered, or the adhesion or adhesiveness may be lowered. The release agents may be used singly or in combination of two or more kinds.
The liquid release agent is not particularly limited as long as it does not phase separate from the epoxy resin composition and does not evaporate or decompose at the temperature of the mold. Specific dominant products include: modovetate (MOLDWIZ INT) -1324, 1324B, 1836, 1846, 1850, 1854, 1882, etc. manufactured by Baindustrial Co., ltd.
Examples of solid (powder) mold release agents include shellac wax (shellac wax), beeswax, and spermaceti wax, carnauba wax (carnauba wax) and wood wax (haze wax) as animal waxes, paraffin wax (paramffin wax) and microcrystalline wax (microcrystalline wax) as mineral waxes, and Fischer-Tropsch wax (Fischer-Tropsch wax), polyethylene wax, polypropylene wax, and the like as synthetic waxes, and it is desirable that the wax be in a powder form that can be uniformly dispersed in an epoxy resin composition, and that the wax be melted and dissolved at a temperature at the time of molding and hardening.

The method for obtaining the cured product may be a curing method based on a general curable resin composition, and for example, the heating temperature condition may be appropriately selected according to the type, use, and the like of the curing agent to be combined. For example, a method of heating the epoxy resin composition at a temperature ranging from room temperature to about 250 ℃. General methods of the curable resin composition can also be used, such as molding methods.
The cured product of the present invention has excellent heat resistance and excellent damping properties, and therefore, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the cured product is preferably 120℃or higher, and the loss coefficient (tan. Delta.) is preferably 0.03 or higher in the temperature range of-40℃to 40 ℃.
The fiber-reinforced composite material of the present invention can be obtained by impregnating reinforcing fibers with the epoxy resin composition of the present invention to obtain a composition for a fiber-reinforced composite material and curing the composition by molding. Here, the reinforcing fiber may be any of twisted yarn, untwisted yarn, and the like, but untwisted yarn or untwisted yarn is preferable because it has excellent moldability in the fiber-reinforced composite material. Further, as the form of the reinforcing fiber, a form in which the fiber direction is aligned in one direction or a fabric may be used. The fabric may be freely selected from plain weave fabrics, satin weave fabrics, and the like according to the site of use or use. Specifically, carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers, boron fibers, alumina fibers, silicon carbide fibers, and the like may be used alone or in combination of two or more of them, for example, for excellent mechanical strength and durability. Among these, carbon fibers are preferable in terms of the strength of molded articles, and various carbon fibers such as polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers, pitch-based carbon fibers, and rayon-based carbon fibers can be used.
The method for obtaining the fiber-reinforced composite from the epoxy resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include the following methods: a method of producing a varnish by uniformly mixing the components constituting the epoxy resin composition, wherein the varnish obtained in the above step is impregnated with unidirectional reinforcing fibers in which reinforcing fibers are aligned in one direction (a state before curing in a pultrusion method or a filament winding method, a strand prepreg), and a method of producing a varnish by impregnating a resin in a substrate such as a material in which continuous carbon fibers are arranged in one direction and formed into a sheet shape or a carbon fiber woven fabric, a material in which a resin layer is disposed on at least one surface of a carbon fiber substrate, and a material in which a fiber layer is further disposed on the surface; and a method (a state before hardening in a resin transfer molding (resin transfer molding, RTM) method) in which a sheet or a fabric of reinforcing fibers is placed in a mold in a superimposed manner, and then resin is injected into the mold and pressure is applied to impregnate the sheet or the fabric or the inside is depressurized to impregnate the sheet or the fabric.
In the fiber-reinforced composite material of the present invention, the volume content of the reinforcing fibers is preferably 40 to 85% based on the total volume of the molded article, and more preferably 50 to 75% in terms of strength. When the volume content is less than 40%, the content of the epoxy resin composition may be too large, and the elastic modulus or strength of the cured product obtained may be insufficient or may not satisfy various properties required. If the volume content exceeds 85%, the resin in the reinforcing fiber is insufficient, resulting in insufficient adhesion, void generation, or the like, and the cured product may have insufficient elastic modulus or strength, or reduced interfacial adhesion.
