Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new materials technology, and relates to a borate ester-based polyurethane and its preparation method, as well as renewable polyurethane materials containing the same and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane (PU) is a class of polymers characterized by urethane bonds as the main chain unit. Its unique and flexible molecular chain structure and aggregate structure make it one of the most widely used polymer materials. However, while the extremely stable urethane groups endow polyurethane materials with excellent properties, they also make them difficult to recycle, reprocess, and biodegrade. Large amounts of polyurethane waste cause serious environmental pollution and resource waste, becoming a problem that requires the joint efforts of all humankind. Therefore, it is necessary to develop novel polyurethane materials with reprocessability and repairability through chemical structure design.

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional thermosetting polyurethanes, introducing dynamic covalent bonds into the polymer crosslinking network has become an effective means of endowing thermosetting polyurethanes with renewability, reprocessability, and repairability. The efflux of borate ester bonds in transesterification endows polymer materials with renewable, processable, and repairable properties, and no catalyst is required during the formation of borate ester groups (CN108484939 A and CN108341944 A). Weng Qiumei et al. prepared a hybrid dynamic polymer using the dynamic reversibility of cyclic organic borate ester groups and supramolecular hydrogen bonds, giving the polymer self-healing and recyclability; details can be found in Chinese patent application publication number CN108341943A.

[0004] However, common borate esters are prone to hydrolysis and alcoholysis, making it difficult to obtain materials with high stability and strength. Therefore, improving the stability of borate esters to media (especially alcohols and water) and heat is key to expanding the application range of borate ester dynamic covalent bond materials. In the field of organic chemistry, the principle of stabilizing borate esters through nitrogen coordination has been applied to the protection and deprotection of organoboronic acid functional groups (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2007, 129(21): 6716-6717). Polyurethane materials based on nitrogen-boron internally coordinated cyclic borate ester compounds synthesized using this principle have higher stability and mechanical properties, as shown in Chinese patent application CN109897148A. However, the improvement in material stability and heat resistance by a single dynamic covalent bond is ultimately limited. Combining two or more dynamic covalent bonds with complementary properties can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of single dynamic covalent bond crosslinked polymers. Imine bonds, due to their electron-rich N atoms, are one of the ideal candidates to form stable multiple covalent bonds with borate esters. Lin et al. reported the preparation of interpenetrating covalent adaptive materials using imine bonds and borate ester groups, focusing on the effects of various dynamic covalent bonds on the mechanical properties and reprocessing properties of the materials (Polymer Chemistry, 2021, 12(28):4052-4062). However, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of these interpenetrating networks with various dynamic covalent bonds cannot meet the requirements for certain mechanical strength and have poor thermal stability.

[0005] In summary, although N→B coordination has been shown to improve the stability of borate ester-based polyurethanes, synthesizing polyurethanes with high hydrolytic / thermal stability, good mechanical properties, and reprocessability remains a major challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a borate ester-based polyurethane and its preparation method, a renewable polyurethane material containing the same and its application. The resulting renewable polyurethane material has excellent hydrolytic / thermal stability, high mechanical strength, and is repairable and remodelable, and can be recycled multiple times.

Slowly add the diamine solution to the o-hydroxybenzaldehyde solution and react at a preset temperature. After the reaction is completed, distill the mixture and cool it to precipitate the solid. Collect the solid product by filtration and recrystallize the obtained solid product to obtain Schiff base compound S.

[0017] (2) Dissolve 100 parts of the obtained Schiff base compound S and (100~150) hydroxymethylphenylboronic acid in an organic solvent by mass, stir thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is formed, and react at a preset temperature; after the reaction is completed, the solid product is obtained by distillation and then by filtration, and the obtained solid product is recrystallized to obtain the N→B bidentate coordinated borate ester compound M.

[0018] (3) Dissolve the obtained borate compound M and isocyanate compound in an organic solvent and stir thoroughly to form a homogeneous solution as a presol. The feeding ratio of borate compound M to isocyanate compound is determined according to the molar ratio of active hydroxyl hydrogen to isocyanate group of 1:(0.8~1.5).

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes performance additives; said performance additives include defoamers, antioxidants, or color masterbatches.

[0026] Furthermore, the method for molding and processing the renewable polyurethane plastic is as follows:

[0027] First, the pre-solution described above is gelled at 60~100℃ for 1~20 h, and then vacuumed to obtain a sample; the obtained sample is crushed to obtain renewable polyurethane plastic powder.

[0029] The renewable polyurethane plastic is recycled through compression molding and solid crushing.

[0030] Furthermore, the method for molding the renewable polyurethane coating is as follows:

[0031] First, the presol as described in any one of claims 3 to 5 is reacted at 60 to 80°C for 20 to 60 min to obtain a uniform and transparent solution; the obtained uniform and transparent solution is coated on a substrate and kept at 60 to 100°C for 7 to 14 days to obtain a renewable polyurethane coating.

[0032] The regenerable polyurethane coating achieves self-healing by being kept at 150~200℃ for 5~24 hours.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] (1) The borate-based polyurethane of the present invention is a processable and renewable polyurethane with excellent hydrolytic / thermal stability. Due to the bidentate coordination of boron and nitrogen in the borate compound M and the synergistic effect of the imine bond and the borate group, the renewable polyurethane material containing the borate group has high stability against thermal stimulation, water or hydroxyl-containing compounds, thus broadening the application range of renewable polyurethane materials.

Vacuum was drawn (-0.10~-0.06 MPa), the temperature was raised to 120~180℃, and then kept at that temperature for 5~10 h before heating was stopped. When the material temperature dropped below 60℃, the vacuum was stopped, the vacuum oven was restored to normal pressure, the sample was taken out and crushed to obtain renewable polyurethane (m-PU) plastic powder.

[0119] Synthesis of S: At 30°C, 9 g of ethylenediamine and 37 g of o-hydroxybenzaldehyde were placed in a 250 mL beaker, and 100 mL of ethanol was added and mixed thoroughly. The mixture was stirred at 30°C for 3 h. After removing most of the solvent by rotary evaporation (60°C, -0.06 MPa), the mixture was cooled to 20°C, filtered through a Buchner funnel, and washed several times with anhydrous ethanol to obtain the crude product. The crude product was added to a certain amount of toluene, heated to 100°C to dissolve it completely, slowly cooled to room temperature, and then cooled in an ice-water bath for 2 h. The mixture was then filtered through a Buchner funnel, and the resulting product was washed three times with dichloromethane and dried under vacuum at 40°C for 5 h to obtain a bright yellow crystalline product with a yield of 90%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6, δ): 13.35 (s,1H), 8.55 (s, 2H), 7.38 (dd, J = 7.7, 1.7 Hz, 2H), 7.28 (ddd, J = 8.8, 7.5,1.8 Hz, 2H), 6.89-6.79 (m, 4H), 3.88 (s, 4H).

[0120] Synthesis of M: In a three-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and condenser, 10 g of S, 12 g of 4-hydroxymethylphenylboronic acid, and 100 mL of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide were added sequentially under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at 110 °C until the solution became clear and then maintained at this temperature for 6 h. After removing most of the solvent by rotary evaporation (100 °C, -0.06 MPa vacuum), the product was filtered through a Buchner funnel and washed multiple times with dichloromethane to obtain a crude product. The crude product was added to a certain amount of N,N-dimethylformamide and heated to 150 °C to dissolve it completely. After slowly cooling to room temperature, the mixture was cooled in an ice-water bath for 2 h and then filtered through a Buchner funnel. The resulting product was washed three times with dichloromethane and dried under vacuum at 100 °C for 5 h to obtain a pale yellow crystalline product with a yield of 89%.

It can be seen that the characteristic absorption peak of -NCO at 2276 cm⁻¹ has disappeared, indicating that the m-PU has been completely cured. The characteristic absorption peak at 1676 cm⁻¹ corresponds to the C=O stretching vibration peak in the urethane bond, indicating that the experiment successfully synthesized m-PU.

The resulting sample is uniform and transparent, indicating that this material has repairable and reprocessable properties.

The thermal decomposition temperature of the material is defined as the temperature at which 5% weight is lost in the TGA curve. The test method is thermogravimetric analysis performed on a NETZSCH TG 209C-TASC 414 / 4 instrument (Germany). The sample mass is 5–10 mg; the nitrogen flow rate is 60 mL·min⁻¹; the heating rate is 10 °C·min⁻¹; and the temperature range is 30–800 °C. The thermal decomposition temperature (T⁵%) of the m-PU plastic powder is 268 °C, which is higher than the decomposition temperature of most conventional polyurethanes, demonstrating the excellent thermal stability of m-PU.

Tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus of the material were obtained according to ASTM D638. The original m-PU plastic block achieved a tensile strength of 36.6 MPa, an elongation at break of 4.1%, and a Young's modulus of 1.04 GPa. After immersion in water for 48 h, the tensile strength of the original m-PU plastic block increased to 40.1 MPa, the elongation at break increased to 4.7%, and the Young's modulus reached 1.21 GPa. This demonstrates that m-PU possesses good mechanical properties and excellent hydrolytic stability.
