Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of large-size polymer hollow microspheres with high crosslinking degrees and belongs to the field of polymer materials. The large-size polymer hollow microspheres with high crosslinking degrees are prepared by adopting a multistep seeded emulsion polymerization method. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: firstly preparing seeded emulsion particles with good compatibility with high acid polymers, secondly preparing high acid nuclear layer polymers, thirdly coating micro-crosslinked transitional crust layers on the surfaces of the high acid nuclear layer polymers, fourthly using volatile alkali/acid to carry out stepwise treatment to ensure the particles to have cavity structures and finally coating crosslinked crust layers on the surfaces of the particles with cavity structures and drying the particles, thus preparing emulsion particles with hollow structures. The method has the following advantages: the hollow microspheres prepared by the method have larger sizes; and with high crosslinking degrees of the crust layers, the polymer hollow microspheres not only have light weight and strong light-shielding performances, but also have good heat and solvent resistance, simultenously avoid high temperature and pressure and use of organic solvents and meet the requirements of low carbon, energy conservation and environmental friendliness.

[0021] (3) Preparation of core-shell latex particles: 50g of core-shell latex particles and 147.5g of deionized water were added to a 500ml four-necked flask equipped with a stirring, reflux condenser, thermometer and nitrogen inlet tube, and 56.25g of styrene ( St), 6.25g butyl methacrylate (BA) and 0.31g tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA) were mixed, 0.4297g ammonium persulfate (APS), 0.1953g sodium sulfite (SBS) were mixed with 20g deionized water, and heated At 70°C, the monomer mixture solution and the initiator mixture solution were added dropwise at the same time, and the dripping was completed in 5 hours, and then the heat preservation and maturation were continued for 2 hours to obtain the core-shell latex particles, which were cooled for use.
[0022] (4) Alkali/acid gradual swelling: Take 15g core-shell latex particles and 285g deionized water into a 500ml four-necked flask equipped with stirring, reflux condenser and thermometer, stir well and add 25% ammonia The pH value of the system was adjusted to 10 by the aqueous solution, heated to 80°C, and reacted for 5 hours to reduce to room temperature; diluted hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH value to 3, heated to 80°C for 5 hours, and cooled to obtain polymer latex particles with hollow structure.
[0023] (5) Preparation of cross-linked shell layer: Take 5g hollow latex particles, 0.45g polyvinylpyrrolidone, 80g deionized water and 80g ethanol and add them to a 250ml four-necked flask equipped with stirring, reflux condenser, thermometer and nitrogen inlet pipe , Turn on the heating and vent nitrogen and condensed water. Mix 9g of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 6g of divinylbenzene (DVB), 0.15g of ammonium persulfate (APS) and 20g of deionized water.

The latex particles are darker in color and lighter on the edges, showing a core-shell structure. The size of the core-shell latex particles is basically the same and is monodisperse; image 3 It is the latex particles obtained by alkali high temperature expansion. At this time, the latex particles have a relatively large cavity structure, and the shape is a regular spherical shape. The diameter of the latex particles is about 660nm and the cavity diameter is about 500nm, but there is still some core polymerization in the shell. Objects are not completely hollow structures. Figure 4 It is a latex particle obtained by swelling with acid and high temperature, showing a hollow structure, the diameter of the latex particle is about 450nm, and the diameter of the cavity is about 300nm. Figure 5 It is the microscopic morphology of latex particles with hollow microspheres as seeds and a highly crosslinked shell layer polymerized on their surface. The particle diameter is about 550nm, and the average cavity diameter is still 300nm, that is, the hollowness is about 16.2% (hollowness: the percentage of the volume of the cavity of the latex particle to the volume of the latex particle). Compared Figure 4 with Figure 5 It can be found that the particle size of the latex particles has increased by about 100 nm, while the cavity diameter remains the same, indicating that the monomer is polymerized on the shell of the hollow microspheres.
