Description

Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to the field of preparation of polyurethane colloidal capsule self - repairing coatings, and specifically relates to a method for a self - repairing aqueous polyurethane leather coating material containing polyurethane colloidal capsules, aiming to use Pickering solid particles SiO2 nanoparticles as the shell wall and polyurethane healing agent as the core material to achieve the goal of external repair of polyurethane leather coatings by polyurethane colloidal capsules. Background Art

[0004] Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer containing urethane repeating units, mainly formed by the addition polymerization of polyisocyanates and macromolecular polyols in the presence of chain extenders. Macromolecular polyols (such as polyether diols, polyester diols, etc.) are usually referred to as soft segments, while isocyanates (aromatic or aliphatic) and chain extenders (small diols or diamines) are usually referred to as hard segments. The hard phase formed by the self - assembly of isocyanates and chain extenders through hydrogen bonds of urethane groups is dispersed in the soft phase composed of flexible polymer chains, resulting in microphase separation. The hard phase serves as physical cross - link points, giving PU good mechanical strength. At the same time, the flexible polymer chains endow polyurethane with elasticity and flexibility. Therefore, by selecting different raw materials and the relative proportions of hard and soft segments, it is easy to adjust the phase separation structure, thereby changing the properties of polyurethane, which is widely used in fields such as coatings, leather, and flexible electronics. However, mechanical damages such as abrasion will inevitably occur during the use of leather coating materials, and endowing them with self - repairing functions is of great significance for extending the service life of materials and reducing maintenance costs.

[0005] Microcapsule-based self-healing polymer composites were first invented by White et al. in 2001. During the crack formation process, the microcapsules rupture, releasing the encapsulated healing agent, which comes into contact with the damaged area and initiates a polymerization reaction through a catalyst to repair the crack surface and restore mechanical integrity. Exogenous microcapsule self-healing does not require external factor stimulation and can achieve damage repair through the healing agent at room temperature. For example, Chinese Patent CN202310075157.X prepares microcapsules with TFXPUA, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone as the core material and polyurethane as the wall material, and then mixes them evenly with an aqueous polyurethane emulsion to obtain an MTFXPUA / WPU composite coating film with high self-healing efficiency. There have been many reports on the strategy of using microcapsules for self-healing. In practical applications, the compatibility between the microcapsule healing agent and the coating matrix is a key factor determining the self-healing performance. Poor interaction between the healing agent and the matrix may lead to the loss of the healing agent or its damage or decomposition by the coating material before release. This will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the healing agent and the self-healing performance of the coating, and will reduce the strength, durability of the coating or cause the coating surface to be uneven. This not only affects the functionality of the coating, but may also affect its appearance and aesthetics. However, there are few reports on solving the poor compatibility between the healing agent and the coating matrix.

[0006] The most commonly used finishing agent in the field of leather finishing is aqueous polyurethane. The existing reported self-healing aqueous polyurethane materials have problems such as poor compatibility between traditional microcapsule healing agents and polyurethane matrices and easy agglomeration in aqueous systems, which ultimately lead to poor mechanical properties and self-healing properties of the coating materials. The present invention innovatively proposes to use polyurethane as the core material of the healing agent to prepare colloidal capsules that can be dispersed in water to solve the above problems. The present invention provides a method for preparing a self-healing aqueous polyurethane leather coating material containing polyurethane colloidal capsules. First, modify SiO2 nanoparticles into Pickering solid particles, use a solvent-based polyurethane solution as the oil phase, and prepare an O / W type Pickering emulsion stabilized by SiO2 nanoparticles through high-speed emulsification; then use the Pickering emulsion as a template for synthesizing colloidal capsules, add active silane to form colloidal capsules that can be dispersed in the water system through a sol-gel reaction at the oil / water interface, and finally uniformly disperse the colloidal capsules into the aqueous polyurethane leather finishing emulsion to obtain a self-healing aqueous polyurethane leather coating material containing polyurethane colloidal capsules. The present invention uses polyurethane healing agent as the core material to prepare colloidal capsules that can be dispersed in water, with high encapsulation efficiency, large loading capacity, and strong stability; the prepared colloidal capsules are spherical and have a colloidal shell wall structure formed by one or more layers of modified SiO2 nanoparticles. The preparation method provided by the present invention solves the problems of poor self-healing performance and mechanical properties of traditional external self-healing polyurethane coatings due to low compatibility between the healing agent and the polyurethane matrix used for leather finishing and easy agglomeration of traditional microcapsules in the aqueous polyurethane emulsion solution, and endows it with good self-healing performance while taking into account the mechanical properties of the material. In addition, the SiO2 introduced by the preparation method of the present invention can also significantly improve the wear resistance of the leather polyurethane coating. This method has not been reported in the literature and patents. Therefore, carrying out research on polyurethane colloidal capsules with self-healing functions can improve the practical application of polyurethane colloidal capsule aqueous polyurethane self-healing materials in leather coatings. Summary of the Invention

[0012] (5) Preparation of pre - hydrolyzed active silane: Mix active silane, deionized water and anhydrous ethanol according to the mass ratio of (1 - 9):15:30, stir for 30 min at a stirring speed of 200 - 2000 rpm and a temperature of 10 - 50 °C to obtain pre - hydrolyzed active silane.

[0013] (6) Mix the O / W Pickering emulsion prepared in step (4) with the pre-hydrolyzed active silane obtained in step (5), control the dry weight ratio of the active silane to the polyurethane to be 1:1, and react at 35 - 70 °C for 1 - 72 h to obtain a colloidal capsule dispersible in water.

[0014] (7) Ultrasonically disperse a certain amount of the colloidal capsule for 30 s - 5 min, then add it to the waterborne polyurethane finishing emulsion for leather, and uniformly disperse it through a homogenizing emulsifier for 5 - 30 min to obtain a self-healing waterborne polyurethane leather coating material containing polyurethane colloidal capsules.

[0015] The colloidal capsule is a spherical colloidal capsule with a polyurethane core, a silica nanoparticle shell, and a diameter of 10 - 60 μm.

[0016] The organosilane is one or a mixture of several of dimethyldichlorosilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, propyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, octadecyltrichlorosilane, hexadecyltrichlorosilane, octyltrichlorosilane, and their modified products.

[0022] The addition amount (dry weight) of the polyurethane-containing colloidal capsule described above is 5-30 wt%.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0024] (1) The polyurethane colloidal capsule of the present invention has a homogeneous repair function: the healing agent in the colloidal capsule is polyurethane, which has excellent chemical compatibility with the aqueous polyurethane matrix. After repair, the interfacial bonding is firm, avoiding the performance weakening caused by heterogeneous materials. After repair, the problem of hard segment / soft segment microphase separation will not be introduced, maintaining the flexibility of the coating, improving wear resistance and tensile strength, and being very suitable for applications in industrial fields such as leather.

[0025] (2) The polyurethane-containing colloidal capsule of the present invention is formed in an aqueous system and can be stably dispersed in the aqueous system. Therefore, it can be stably dispersed in the aqueous polyurethane finishing emulsion, solving the problem that traditional self-healing microcapsules are prone to agglomeration in aqueous media.

[0026] (3) In addition, the present invention innovatively proposes to use the colloidal capsule to develop a self-healing aqueous polyurethane leather coating material; this kind of colloidal capsule is different from the traditional microcapsules used for self-healing. There is a certain pore structure on the surface of the colloidal capsule, and it can achieve on-demand repair through external stimuli (such as mechanical rupture by stress, etc.), which is superior to the "one-time release" of traditional "microcapsules".
