Resorcinol-Derived Vitrimers and Their Flax Fiber-Reinforced Composites Based on Fast Siloxane Exchange.
Macromolecular rapid communications(2023)
摘要
Natural fiber-reinforced composites are gaining increased interest for their significantly reduced carbon footprint compared to conventional glass or carbon fiber-based counterparts. In this study, natural fibers are used in a resorcinol-based epoxy resin that is thermally reshapable at higher temperatures (>180 °C) by using fast exchanging siloxane bonds, catalyzed by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene. Stress relaxation times of only about 6 s at 220 °C can be reached. A resorcinol-based epoxy compound is selected because it can be derived from cellulose, opening ways for more sustainable and reshapable composite materials. In a last step of the research, the low viscosity vitrimer formulation (<200 mPa s) is applied to make a flax fiber-reinforced composite using an industrially relevant vacuum-assisted resin infusion process. A section of this composite is successfully reshaped, which allows for envisioning a second life for natural fiber-reinforced composites.
