摘要

Bio-based electrical epoxy resin with intrinsically high thermal conductivity

high breakdown strength and low dielectric loss promotes the green and environmental-friendly transformation of electric power equipment to achieve sustainable development.

Abstract

The demand for energy-efficient and environmental-friendly power grid construction has made the exploitation of bio-based electrical epoxy resins with excellent properties increasingly important. This work developed the bio-based electrotechnical epoxy resins based on magnolol. High-performance epoxy resin (DGEMT) with a double crosslinked points and its composites (Al

/DGEMT) were obtained taking advantages of the two bifunctional groups (allyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups) of magnolol. Benefitting from the distinctive st

ructure of DGEMT

the Al

/DGEMT composites exhibited the advantages of intrinsically high thermal conductivity

high insulation

and low dielectric loss. The AC breakdown strength and thermal conductivity of Al

/DGEMT composites were 35.5 kV/mm and 1.19 W·m

−1

·K

−1

respectively

which were 15.6% and 52.6% higher than those of petroleum-based composites (Al

/DGEBA). And its dielectric loss tan

=0.0046 was 20.7% lower than that of Al

/DGEBA. Furthermore

the mechanical

thermal and processing properties of Al

/DGEMT are fully comparable to those of Al

/DGEBA. This work confirms the feasibility of manufacturing environmentally friendly power equipment using bio-based epoxy resins

which has excellent engineering applications.
