DGEBA/MHHPA have similar curing reactivity, but cured EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin

DGEBA/MHHPA resin. Specifically, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of

29

EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin is as high as 153.4 oC, the storage modulus at 50 oC

increases by 19.8%, meanwhile both peak heat release rate and total heat release

31

reduce by 19.0%. The nature behind these outstanding integrated performances is

32

attributed to the unique structure of EUFU-EP, which is not only rich in aromatic

structure, but also has furan ring. The especially large biomass content and

outstanding thermal, mechanical and flame retarding performances clearly show that

In recent years, attempts have been made to introduce some biomass-based

FDCA and eugenol, both of which are common renewable resources in nature,

64

have aroused worldwide concern in recent years due to their rigid aromatic structure.

68

bio-based epoxy resins, respectively. Zhang et al. reported a eugenol-based epoxy

69

resin with a biomass content of 62.7%, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of

70

epoxy resin cured with hexahydrophthalic anhydride was only 114 °C.25 Wang et al.

71

reported two kinds of eugenol-based epoxy resins which link eugenol molecules

respectively. The former (melting point, 124oC) cured with 4,4’-diaminodiphenyl

74

methane has a biomass content of 70.2% and a Tg value of 114.4 °C, while the latter

75

cured with 3,3’-diaminodiphenylsulfone has a higher biomass content of 80% and

76

higher Tg (207 °C). Liu’s group prepared an epoxy resin based on FDCA, the Tg of the

77

epoxy resin cured with methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) was 152 oC,

the flexural strength was 96 MPa and the biomass content was 65.2%.26 These works

It is well known that there are two methods to synthesize epoxy resin.

190

Taking DGEBA as the example, the first synthesis method (Method I) is derived from

191

bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin under sodium hydroxide (Figure S2a in

192

Supplementary Information).33 Note that this method produces complex oligomers but

193

not epoxy resin monomer with precise structure. Typically DGEBA monomers are

194

marketed with average repeat unit (n) in the range of 0.03−10. 18 In addition, the

195

obtained oligomers are hardly purified and separated. Obviously, this is not conducive

196

to control structure and performances of epoxy resin. The second method (Method II)

197

for synthesizing DGEBA contains two steps. An intermediate (allyl ether compound) 9

On the other hand, there are two major problems of bisphenol A, besides its

207

dependence on the petrochemical resources, bisphenol A has similar structure with

208

estrogen, which will reduce fertility and increase the risk of developing cancers and

209

other diseases.35,

210

bisphenol A-based materials for packing infant formula,37 and the demand for

211

bisphenol A-free products is booming. Therefore, derived from less toxic raw

212

materials, a new bio-based epoxy monomer with precise structure and extremely large

213

biomass content should be designed and synthesized.

36

The US Federal Drug Administration has banned the use of

214

Figure 1 illustrates the route to synthesize such bio-based epoxy monomer,

215

EUFU-EP, with precise structure and extremely large biomass content. Specifically,

216

eugenol with allyl group itself is taken as the reactant, so it is not necessary to use

217

bromopropene anymore, endowing EUFU-EP with very large biomass content

218

(93.3%). The specific route is composed of three steps. First, FDCDCl was obtained

219

from acylation of FDCA with oxalyl chloride in the presence of catalytic DMF; FDCA 10

220

will be fully converted to FDCDCl and directly used for the next step without

221

purification. Second, triethylamine was used as base, FDCDCl and eugenol were

222

esterified to produce intermediate (EUFU) with a high yield (91.4%). Third, the target

223

product EUFU-EP was obtained by oxidizing allyl group in EUFU by mCPBA; the

224

yield of this step is 63.5%, and it was not necessary to purify EUFU-EP by column

225

chromatography, showing great potential for large-scale production. As no bisphenol

226

structure existed in the target product (EUFU-EP); moreover no bisphenol structure

227

was used and formed during the whole synthesis process, so EUFU-EP is a healthier

228

substitute compared with DGEBA.

Figure 2 shows 1H NMR spectra of EUFU and EUFU-EP. In the spectrum of

234

EUFU, the characteristic peaks at 5.98 ppm (Hg) and 5.08-5.16 ppm (Hh, Hi)

235

correspond to protons on double bond of allyl in EUFU, the characteristic peaks at

236

3.40 ppm (Hf), 3.82 ppm (He), and 7.45 ppm (Ha) represent protons on methylene

237

group of allyl adjacent to the double bond, methoxy group and furan ring, respectively.

In the spectrum of EUPU-EP, the characteristic peaks of proton on epoxy group are 11

observed, such as 2.54-2.60 ppm (Hi’), 2.83 ppm (Hh’) and 3.14-3.20 ppm (Hh’), while

240

all peaks of protons (Hg, Hh and Hi) on double bond are not found. Other peaks in the

241

spectrum of EUFU-EP are similar as those of protons of EUFU, indicating that double

242

bonds of allyl groups in EUFU have been successfully oxidized to epoxy groups.

243

These assignments of protons have been also confirmed by the 2-D HHCOSY NMR

244

spectra (Figure S3 in Supplementary Information).

EUFU-EP shown in Figure 3. The characteristic peaks at 139.79 and 116.46 ppm in

the spectrum of EUFU indicate C12 and C13 on allyl groups, respectively. These peaks

252

do not appear in the spectrum of EUFU-EP, instead, characteristic peaks representing

253

carbon atoms on epoxy groups appear at 52.46 ppm (C12’) and 47.00 ppm (C13’), also

254

proving that double bonds of allyl groups in EUFU have been successfully oxidized. 12

FTIR spectra of EUFU and EUFU-EP are shown in Figure S4 (in Supplementary

259

Information). The characteristic peak standing for C=C bonds of EUFU at 1639 cm-1

260

disappears. Instead, the characteristic peak standing for the oxirane rings of EUFU-EP

261

at 930 cm-1 appears, further proving that double bonds of allyl groups in EUFU have

262

been successfully oxidized.

263

In addition, the HRMS spectrum of EUFU-EP (Figure S5 in Supplementary

264

Information) shows that the experimental [M+Na+] is 503.1306, which is consistent

265

with the theoretical value (503.1313). The DSC curve of EUFU-EP (Figure S6 in

266

Supplementary Information) shows a clear endothermic melting peak at 99.7 oC.

267

Above characterizations fully prove that a unique bio-based epoxy resin with

268

precise structure has been facilely synthesized, its theoretical molecular weight is

269

480.47, and the epoxy value is 0.416 mol/100 g. 13

Curing behavior and aggregation structure of EUFU-EP/MHHPA

271

Figure 4a shows DSC curves of EUFU-EP/MHHPA and DGEBA/MHHPA

272

prepolymers at different heating rates. Each curve displays a single exothermic peak

273

corresponding to the ring-opening reaction between epoxy and acid anhydride. From

274

fitting curves of heating rate vs. exothermic peak temperature of prepolymers (Figure

275

4b), the actual peak temperature (142.1 oC) of EUFU-EP/MHHPA is found to be

276

slightly higher than that of DGEBA/MHHPA (139.6 oC). At the same time, according

277

to Kissinger equation (Equation 1), dynamic curing parameters of prepolymers were

278

calculated. It is found that EUFU-EP/MHHPA has higher activation energy (71.15 kJ

279

mol-1) than DGEBA/MHHPA (61.21 kJ mol-1), so the former has lower reaction

280

activity than the latter. This is because epoxy groups of DGEBA connect with oxygen

281

atoms, increasing the polarization degree of epoxy groups due to the inductive effect,

282

and thus is more conducive to the ring opening reaction of epoxy groups.24

EUFU-EP was then cured by MHHPA using the curing procedure of 130 oC/2

under this condition,

EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin. As shown in Figure S7 and S8 in Supplementary

Information, there is no exothermic peak in DSC curve, and no characteristic peak of

Crosslinking density is an important index for characterizing the aggregation

299

structure of thermosetting resins,38 which is often calculated according to the classical

300

rubbery elasticity theory as shown in Equation 2.26 E'=3υeRT

301

(2)

302

where E’ is the storage modulus of the thermosetting resin in the rubbery plateau

303

region, R is the universal constant, and T is the temperature at which the storage

304

modulus is minimum.30

305

Crosslinking densities of EUFU-EP/MHHPA and DGEBA/MHHPA resins are

306

found to be 1373 and 2081 mol m-3, respectively. These results are attributed to the

307

fact that EUFU-EP has higher molecular weight, smaller epoxy value and lower

308

reactivity than DGEBA.

309

310

Thermomechanical properties

311

DMA thermograms of cured EUFU-EP/MHHPA and DGEBA/MHHPA resins

312

are shown in Figure 5. It can be seen that EUFU-EP/MHHPA has higher storage

313

modulus (E’) at 50 oC (2229 MPa) than DGEBA/MHHPA, it is expected because E’

314

in the glassy state is affected synthetically by chemical structure and chain packing. It

315

is well known that the use of furan building block usually increases the stiffness of the

316

resins, 39,40 while higher density

317

packing, both of which are good for increasing E’. These two factors exist in

318

EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin. Specifically, on one hand, EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin has

319

rigid rod-like aromatic ester and furan structures. On the other hand,

320

EUFU-EP/MHHPA has higher density (1.25 g/cm3) than DGEBA/MHHPA resin (1.18

321

g/cm3) reflecting a greater chain packing; moreover, the hydrogen and oxygen atoms

322

of methoxy substituents on the aromatic rings have the ability to form hydrogen bond

323

with carbonyl of anhydride and methylene resulting from the epoxy-anhydride

324

reaction, respectively.41

Specifically, an increased crosslinking density and a structure with chemical bonds

that are hard to rotate can lead to a higher Tg. Compared with DGEBA/MHHPA,

EUFU-EP/MHHPA has lower crosslinking density, tending to get reduced Tg; while

Page 18 of 43

336

EUFU-EP/MHHPA has rigid rod-like aromatic ester and furan structures that are very

337

difficult to rotate. The combined effect of above opposite and positive factors

338

determine the final Tg. Figure 5 suggests that the positive factor plays the domain

339

influence.

340

Note that for previously reported bio-based epoxy resins cured with MHHPA,

341

their Tg values are within 101.9-152 oC (Table S1 in Supplementary Information),

342

meaning that EUFU-EP/MHHPA reported herein shows high Tg that falls in the high

343

end range of resins reported, this is very attractive because Tg is the upper temperature

344

of service for thermosetting resins,43 that is, EUFU-EP has the biggest ability of

345

applying in strict environment requiring high temperature among all bio-based epoxy

346

resins so far.

Mechanical performance

Figure 6 gives flexural properties of EUFU-EP/MHHPA and DGEBA/MHHPA

350

resins. Analogical with storage modulus in the glassy state, flexural modulus reflects

351

the rigidity of resins. The flexural modulus of EUFU-EP/MHHPA is 3.33 GPa, higher

352

than that of DGEBA/MHHPA (3.05 GPa), this is consistent with the storage moduli in

353

the glassy state.

354

The flexural strength is usually used to characterize overall mechanical

355

properties of a material because the flexural loading contains multiple types of

356

loadings

EUFU-EP/MHHPA has slightly lower flexural strength than DGEBA/MHHPA, the

flexural strength of EUFU-EP/MHHPA is as high as 129.2 MPa, comparable with that

359

of reported epoxy resin with high mechanical properties,45 and is at a high level in

360

bio-based epoxy resins reported (Table S1 in Supplementary Information), so

361

EUFU-EP/MHHPA still has excellent mechanical properties.

374

EUFU-EP/MHHPA has better flame retardancy than DGEBA/MHHPA. This

375

attractive result is attributed to the fact that the char yield (Yc) at 800 oC of

376

EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin is 10.9 wt%, about 1.7 times of that of DGEBA/MHHPA

377

(Figure 8). This is benefited from the highly compact aromatic rings of EUFU-EP,

378

which can promote carbonation,6 resulting in more residual carbon, and thus

379

displaying condensed phase mechanism of flame retardation.

393

the intensity of the absorption peak in the three-dimensional spectra can reflect the

394

amounts of degradation products. Figure 9 shows that the absorption peaks of

395

EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin are much lower than those of DGEBA/MHHPA resin,

396

proving that EUFU-EP /MHHPA resin releases much less pyrolysis products than

pyrolysis products of DGEBA/MHHPA are organic combustible gases, including

406

various hydrocarbons (2968 cm-1), carbonyl compounds (1807 cm-1), aromatic

407

compounds (1604 and 1510 cm-1) and C–O–C (1221 and 1176 cm-1);46, 47 while a

408

small amount of water (3656 cm-1), CO2 (2351, 2308 and 669 cm-1) and CO (2180

409

cm-1) were also found in pyrolysis products. Differently, pyrolysis products of

410

EUFU-EP/MHHPA show less organic combustible gases (various hydrocarbons,

411

carbonyl compounds and aromatic compounds) and more none-flammable CO2, this

412

is beneficial to retard further combustion, and thus EUFU-EP/MHHPA resin has a

413

better flame retardancy.

Conclusion

420

Starting from green bio-based FDCA and eugenol, a new epoxy resin

421

(EUFU-EP), of which the biomass content is as high as 93.3%, was successively

422

synthesized using an eco-friendly route. Compared with DGEBA/MHHPA,

423

EUFU-EP/MHHPA expresses 9 °C and 19.9% enhancement in Tg and storage

424

modulus at 50 oC, respectively, as well as considerably high mechanical properties

425

and better flame retardancy. Abundant amounts of aromatic and furan structures in the

426

main chain endow cured EUFU-EP resin with much better integrated performances

427

than petrochemical resource-based DGEBA resin. Due to these attractive properties as

428

well as the advantages of non-toxic and renewably source, EUFU-EP holds a great

429

potential as a sustainable alternative for DGEBA. 23
