Development of dielectric materials from benzoxazine-Co(II) complex and commercial resins via the 3D printing process
摘要
This research focuses on developing dielectric materials through the incorporation of metal complexes of benzoxazine and transition metals as fillers in commercial resins, utilizing a 3D printing process known as stereolithography. The benzoxazine monomer based bisphenol A, (6,6-(propane-2,2-diyl)bis(3-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzoxazine) (BM), was synthesized via a Mannich reaction using paraformaldehyde, cyclohexylamine, and bisphenol A in a 4:2:1 molar ratio. The synthesized BM was subsequently reacted with cobalt(II) chloride to form the BM-CoCl2. The successful formation of the BM complex was confirmed through UV–Vis, and it was found that BM and cobalt formed a coordination complex in a 4:1 molar ratio, as confirmed by TGA techniques. BM-CoCl2 was incorporated into a commercial resin and processed via SLA to fabricate samples for evaluating both dielectric and mechanical performance. Adding 1 part per hundred of resin (phr) of BM-CoCl2 led to a dielectric constant 2.4 times higher than that of both the commercial resin and the Resin/BM composite. As the concentration of BM-CoCl2 increased to 5, 10, and 15 phr, the dielectric constant continued to rise, while the loss tangent values remained very low. Furthermore, the inclusion of BM-CoCl2 as an additive enhanced the elongation of the resin, broadening its potential for a broader range of industrial applications. Additionally, at the end of its service life, the Co3O4 residue generated through the incineration of the material can be repurposed as a catalyst.
