Abstract

Abstract: A one-component waterborne epoxy resin (WER) suitable for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber non-woven fabric was synthesized. Unidirectional (UD) orthogonal non-woven fabric and composite panels were prepared using a winding-composite-hot pressing process. The resin’s resistance to high/low temperatures and aging properties were investigated, along with the storage stability of WER-based UHMWPE non-woven fabrics under accelerated aging tests. The mechanical performance of composite panels at different temperatures and the ballistic limit V₅₀ value were also studied. The results indicate that the epoxy resin exhibits favorable high temperature resistance, the tensile shear strength of WRE resin is maintained at a high level at 80 ℃,and at a low temperature of -40 ℃, the performance does not decrease compared with the normal temperature state. Through accelerated aging simulations and calculations using the Arrhenius equation, the epoxy adhesive demonstrates performance attenuation after approximately 279 days in a 23 ℃ environment. The WER-based non-woven fabric displays excellent storage stability, maintaining stable performance for about 117 days under 23 ℃ conditions. Evaluated through V₅₀ ballistic testing, the ballistic performance of WER matrix composites was almost unchanged after 400 h with testing under double 85 conditions.
