摘要

An apigenin-derived epoxy monomer (DGEA) was synthesized. The cured DGEA thermoset showed an ultrahigh

of 232 °C and exceptional antiflammability with a UL-94 V-0 grade

whereas the cured petroleum-based diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) thermoset behaved high flammability and a relatively low

(156 °C).

Abstract

In this work

apigenin was chosen as a raw material to synthesize a novel epoxy monomer (DGEA)

while the bio-based epoxy resin was further obtained after curing with 4

4’-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM). The control samples were prepared by curing diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) with DDM. The non-isothermal differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) method was utilized to further investigate the curing behavior and curing kinetics of the DGEA/DDM system. Despite no flame retardant active elements

the DGEA/DDM thermoset still exhibited exceptional anti-flammability. Specifically

the DGEA/DDM thermoset reached a V-0 rating in the UL-94 test and owned a high limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 37.0%

while DGEBA/DDM resins were consumed completely in the vertical combustion test with a low LOI of 23.0%. Furthermore

the microscale combustion calorimetry (MCC) results manifested that compared with DGEBA/DDM resins

both PHRR and THR values of the DGEA/DDM resins were dropped by 84.0% and 57.6%

respectively. Additionally

the DGEA/DDM resin also presented higher storage modulus and tensile strength compared with DGEBA/DDM one. Particularly

in contrast with that of the cured DGEBA/DDM one (156 °C)

the DGEA/DDM thermoset displayed an extremely high glass transition temperature (232 °C). This study breaks new ground on how to produce bio-based monomers with aromatic structures and achieve high-performance thermosetting polymers.
