エポキシ樹脂組成物およびその硬化物、ならびにそれに用いられるジアミン硬化剤組成物Epoxy resin composition and its cured product, and diamine curing agent composition used therein.
 本発明は、エポキシ樹脂組成物およびその硬化物、ならびにそれに用いられるジアミン硬化剤組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to an epoxy resin composition, a cured product thereof, and a diamine curing agent composition used therein.
 強化繊維とマトリックス樹脂とからなる繊維強化複合材料は、強化繊維とマトリックス樹脂の利点を生かした材料設計ができるため、航空宇宙分野を始め、スポーツ分野および一般産業分野などに用途が拡大されている。 Fiber-reinforced composite materials consisting of reinforcing fibers and matrix resins can be designed to take advantage of the advantages of reinforcing fibers and matrix resins, so their applications are expanding to the aerospace field, sports field, and general industrial fields. ..
 強化繊維としては、ガラス繊維、アラミド繊維、炭素繊維およびボロン繊維などが用いられる。また、マトリックス樹脂としては、熱硬化性樹脂および熱可塑性樹脂のいずれも用いられるが、強化繊維への含浸が容易な熱硬化性樹脂が用いられることが多い。熱硬化性樹脂としては、エポキシ樹脂、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂、ビニルエステル樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ビスマレイミド樹脂およびシアネート樹脂などが用いられる。 As the reinforcing fiber, glass fiber, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, boron fiber and the like are used. Further, as the matrix resin, both a thermosetting resin and a thermoplastic resin are used, but a thermosetting resin that can be easily impregnated into the reinforcing fibers is often used. As the thermosetting resin, an epoxy resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, a vinyl ester resin, a phenol resin, a bismaleimide resin, a cyanate resin and the like are used.
 一般的に繊維強化複合材料の成形方法としては、プリプレグ法、ハンドレイアップ法、フィラメントワインディング法、プルトルージョン法、RTM(Resin Transfer Molding)法等の方法が適用される。プリプレグ法は、強化繊維にエポキシ樹脂組成物を含浸したプリプレグを所望の形状に積層し、加熱することによって成形物を得る方法である。しかし、このエポキシ樹脂組成物、あるいはプリプレグを室温で長期間に渡り保存しておくと、意図しない硬化反応が進行するため、貯蔵安定性に問題があった。これまでにこの貯蔵安定性を確保する手段としてジシアンジアミド、BF-アミン錯体、アミン塩、変性イミダゾール化合物等の潜在性硬化剤を、エポキシ樹脂に配合したものが知られている。しかし、これらのエポキシ樹脂組成物は、貯蔵安定性に優れているものは硬化性に劣る傾向となり、硬化性に優れるものは貯蔵安定性に劣る傾向となる。 Generally, as a method for forming a fiber-reinforced composite material, a method such as a prepreg method, a hand layup method, a filament winding method, a plutrusion method, or an RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) method is applied. The prepreg method is a method of obtaining a molded product by laminating a prepreg in which reinforcing fibers are impregnated with an epoxy resin composition into a desired shape and heating the prepreg. However, when this epoxy resin composition or prepreg is stored at room temperature for a long period of time, an unintended curing reaction proceeds, so that there is a problem in storage stability. Previously dicyandiamide as a means of ensuring the storage stability, BF 3 - amine complex, amine salt, a latent curing agent and modified imidazole compounds, those obtained by blending the epoxy resins. However, those epoxy resin compositions having excellent storage stability tend to be inferior in curability, and those having excellent curability tend to be inferior in storage stability.
 このような事情のもと、フルオレン型硬化剤を固体状で分散させたエポキシ樹脂組成物(特許文献1)が提案されている。また、フルオレン型硬化剤とナフタレン型エポキシ樹脂を併用したエポキシ樹脂組成物(特許文献2)が提案されている。また、特許文献3には、高融点の結晶性アミンを一旦溶融後、急冷することによりガラス状固体として、エポキシ樹脂に相溶させやすくしたアミン硬化剤を用いたエポキシ樹脂組成物が提案されている。 Under such circumstances, an epoxy resin composition (Patent Document 1) in which a fluorene type curing agent is dispersed in a solid state has been proposed. Further, an epoxy resin composition (Patent Document 2) in which a fluorene type curing agent and a naphthalene type epoxy resin are used in combination has been proposed. Further, Patent Document 3 proposes an epoxy resin composition using an amine curing agent which makes it easy to be compatible with an epoxy resin as a glassy solid by melting a high melting point crystalline amine once and then quenching it. There is.

 しかしながら、特許文献1に記載のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、高い貯蔵安定性を実現することはできておらず、未だ改善の余地がある。 However, the epoxy resin composition described in Patent Document 1 has not been able to achieve high storage stability, and there is still room for improvement.
 また、特許文献2に記載のエポキシ樹脂組成物も、高い貯蔵安定性を実現することはできていない。また、フルオレン型硬化剤のエポキシ樹脂への溶解温度が高いため用途や成形法に制限があり、そのエポキシ樹脂組成物から得られる繊維強化複合材料の強度も不十分なものであった。 Also, the epoxy resin composition described in Patent Document 2 has not been able to achieve high storage stability. Further, since the dissolution temperature of the fluorene type curing agent in the epoxy resin is high, there are restrictions on the use and molding method, and the strength of the fiber-reinforced composite material obtained from the epoxy resin composition is also insufficient.
 特許文献3に記載のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、ガラス状固体としたアミン硬化剤が昇温加熱時に徐々に粘度低下するため、繊維強化基材への含浸時にムラが発生しやすい材料であった。 The epoxy resin composition described in Patent Document 3 is a material in which unevenness is likely to occur when the fiber-reinforced base material is impregnated because the viscosity of the glassy solid amine curing agent gradually decreases when the temperature is raised and heated.
 このように高い貯蔵安定性およびエポキシ樹脂への高溶解性を兼ね備え、さらに飛行機や自動車等の構造材用途で要求される高耐熱かつ高強度な繊維強化複合材料が得られるエポキシ樹脂組成物は、これまで存在しなかった。 Epoxy resin compositions that have such high storage stability and high solubility in epoxy resins, and which can provide highly heat-resistant and high-strength fiber-reinforced composite materials required for structural material applications such as airplanes and automobiles, are available.

The total content of each of the two diamine curing agents is 20 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less, which is within the range of the content of the curing agent composition (B).

Further, in the present invention, if the curing agent other than the curing agent composition (B) is 20 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main agent (A), it may be contained in the epoxy resin composition.
 本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、さらにアルミニウム塩化物、アルミニウム臭化物、三フッ化ホウ素、五フッ化アンチモン、五フッ化リン、四フッ化チタン等のルイス酸、脂肪族あるいは芳香族の第三級アミン、イミダゾール類、アルコール類、フェノール類を含んでいても良い。かかる成分を含むことにより、反応が促進されやすくなる。 The epoxy resin composition of the present invention further comprises a Lewis acid such as aluminum chloride, aluminum bromide, boron trifluoride, antimony pentafluoride, phosphorus pentafluoride, and titanium tetrafluoride, and a tertiary of aliphatic or aromatic. It may contain amines, imidazoles, alcohols and phenols. By including such a component, the reaction is easily promoted.
 エポキシ樹脂組成物において、硬化剤組成物(B)を含む全ての硬化剤の含有量は、硬化剤の全活性水素数(H)と、全てのエポキシ樹脂成分中のエポキシ基総数(E)との比、いわゆるH/Eで示すことができる。全ての硬化剤の含有量は、H/Eが0.80以上1.10以下の範囲を満たす含有量であることが好ましく、0.85以上1.05以下の範囲を満たす含有量であることがより好ましい。H/Eが0.80以上であると、エポキシ樹脂硬化物の反応率が十分高くなりやすく、耐熱性や材料強度が向上しやすい。また、H/Eが1.10以下であると、塑性変形能力が向上しやすくなり、繊維強化複合材料の耐衝撃性が十分なものとなりやすい。 In the epoxy resin composition, the contents of all the curing agents including the curing agent composition (B) are the total number of active hydrogens (H) of the curing agent and the total number of epoxy groups (E) in all the epoxy resin components. Can be indicated by the ratio of, so-called H / E. The content of all the curing agents is preferably a content that satisfies the range of H / E of 0.80 or more and 1.10 or less, and preferably a content that satisfies the range of 0.85 or more and 1.05 or less. Is more preferable. When the H / E is 0.80 or more, the reaction rate of the cured epoxy resin product tends to be sufficiently high, and the heat resistance and material strength tend to be improved. Further, when the H / E is 1.10 or less, the plastic deformation ability tends to be improved, and the impact resistance of the fiber-reinforced composite material tends to be sufficient.
 硬化剤組成物(B)の含有量は、エポキシ樹脂組成物中の硬化剤の全活性水素数(H)に対する硬化剤組成物(B)由来の活性水素数の割合、いわゆる硬化剤組成物(B)の活性水素割合で示すことができる。本発明において、硬化剤組成物(B)の活性水素割合は20%以上100%以下であることが好ましい。硬化剤組成物(B)の活性水素割合をかかる範囲とすることにより、硬化剤組成物(B)が有するエポキシ樹脂組成物の貯蔵安定性やエポキシ樹脂硬化物の耐熱性を高める効果が十分に発揮されやすい。 The content of the curing agent composition (B) is the ratio of the number of active hydrogens derived from the curing agent composition (B) to the total number of active hydrogens (H) of the curing agent in the epoxy resin composition, that is, the so-called curing agent composition ( It can be indicated by the active hydrogen ratio of B). In the present invention, the active hydrogen ratio of the curing agent composition (B) is preferably 20% or more and 100% or less. By setting the active hydrogen ratio of the curing agent composition (B) to such a range, the effect of enhancing the storage stability of the epoxy resin composition and the heat resistance of the epoxy resin cured product of the curing agent composition (B) is sufficient. Easy to demonstrate.
 硬化剤組成物(B)を構成する単一の融点を有するジアミン硬化剤は、結晶性を有することが好ましい。結晶性を有するとは、常温以上の温度に融点を有し、常温で固体の成分のことである。融点は、JIS K 7121:2012に従って、示差走査熱量測定(DSC)により求めることができる。結晶性成分を窒素雰囲気下において昇温測定を行い、得られたDSC曲線における吸熱ピークの頂点温度を融点として得ることができる。なお、常温とは25℃を指す。 The diamine curing agent having a single melting point constituting the curing agent composition (B) preferably has crystallinity. Crystallinity is a component that has a melting point at room temperature or higher and is solid at room temperature. The melting point can be determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to JIS K 7121: 2012. The temperature of the crystalline component can be measured by raising the temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the peak temperature of the endothermic peak in the obtained DSC curve can be obtained as the melting point. The normal temperature means 25 ° C.
 ジアミン硬化剤が結晶性を有する化合物である場合であって、当該結晶性を有する化合物2種類以上が混ざり合った結晶混合物(共晶)では、その融点が結晶性を有する化合物単一の融点よりも低下する融点降下の現象が見られる場合がある。融点降下の現象を利用して、結晶性成分の融点を制御することにより、樹脂組成物とした時の融解挙動を制御でき、強化繊維基材への含浸性を向上させやすくなる。 In the case where the diamine curing agent is a crystalline compound, and in a crystal mixture (eutectic) in which two or more kinds of the crystalline compound are mixed, the melting point is higher than the melting point of a single compound having crystalline property. There may be a phenomenon of melting point drop that also decreases. By controlling the melting point of the crystalline component by utilizing the phenomenon of melting point drop, the melting behavior of the resin composition can be controlled, and the impregnation property into the reinforcing fiber base material can be easily improved.
