研究目的
To develop and characterize a series of novel fast-curing halogen-free flame-retardant epoxy resins for use in glass fiber-reinforced composites, with the aim of improving processing efficiency and flame-retardant properties while reducing smoke and toxicity compared to phenolic resin-based composites.
研究成果
The D4 epoxy system demonstrated fast curing (0.5 h at 150°C), high glass transition temperature (>130°C), excellent flame retardancy (UL-94 V-1, LOI ≥36%), low smoke density, and low toxicity. It showed superior peel strength in sandwich composites compared to phenolic resins, making it a promising material for lightweight, flame-retardant applications in transportation interiors. Future work could focus on further optimization and broader applicability.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific epoxy formulations and may not generalize to all halogen-free systems. Optimization of curing conditions and flame retardant concentrations could be further explored. The comparison is primarily with phenolic resins, and other matrix materials were not extensively tested. Scale-up for industrial applications and long-term durability were not addressed.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved formulating various epoxy resin systems with different flame retardants and accelerators to optimize curing kinetics and flame-retardant properties. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to assess thermo-mechanical properties, and standard tests (UL94, LOI, BS476-7, BS6853) were employed for flame retardancy evaluation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared using specific epoxy formulations (e.g., D4 system) with glass fiber fabrics and honeycomb cores. Data were derived from laboratory measurements and comparisons with commercial phenolic resin composites (BAC 400).

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included a DMA (TA Q800), hot-press, and various testing apparatus for flame and mechanical tests. Materials included DGEBA epoxy, DCDA curing agent, accelerators (modified imidazole, modified urea), flame retardants (APP, PX-200, DJ 701, 6200), glass fabric (7781), honeycomb core (ACT1-3.2-48), and phenolic resin composites (BAC 400).

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Epoxy systems were prepared by dissolving components in DMF, impregnating glass fabrics to make prepregs, curing under heat and pressure, and fabricating composite panels and sandwich structures. Tests included gel time measurement, DMA, vertical burning, LOI, flame diffusion, smoke density, toxicity, and peel strength assessments.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using standard methods for each test, with results compared to requirements and benchmarks (e.g., UL94 ratings, LOI thresholds). Statistical analysis was not explicitly mentioned, but comparative evaluations were made.
