Abstract

A biomass benzoxazine-based shape memory resin, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. The method includes: using biomass furfuryl amine, vanillic aldehyde, and paraformaldehyde as raw materials; obtaining an aldehyde group-containing biomass benzoxazine monomer by means of a heating reaction; mixing the aldehyde group-containing biomass benzoxazine monomer with polyether amine, and obtaining a Schiff base biomass benzoxazine monomer by means of a coupling reaction; and curing the Schiff base biomass benzoxazine monomer to obtain the biomass benzoxazine resin having a shape memory function. The benzoxazine-based shape memory resin has excellent thermal performance, high tensile modulus, high strength; an original shape can be permanently changed according to needs, the defect that traditional cross-linked polymers cannot be reprocessed after being formed is overcome, a recovery function under the condition of heating stimulation achieved, an application range of a shape memory polymer widened due to excellent thermal performance and mechanical performance.

Claims (16)
