Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polyurethanes, and particularly to a bio-based polyurethane buffer material. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of technology and the rapid development of industry, the demand for high-performance materials is increasing day by day, especially in the field of buffer materials. Traditional polyurethane materials are widely used in the fields of automobiles, construction, electronics, medical treatment, etc. due to their excellent elasticity, wear resistance and processing performance. However, traditional polyurethane materials often exhibit problems such as a decrease in mechanical properties and a weakening of elastic recovery ability under high temperature, high pressure or long-term use environments, which limits their application in some high-end fields.

[0003] In recent years, with the enhancement of environmental awareness and the requirements of sustainable development, bio-based materials have gradually become a research hotspot. Bio-based polyurethane materials have received extensive attention due to their renewable and degradable characteristics. However, bio-based polyurethane materials generally have inferior mechanical properties and elastic recovery ability compared to petroleum-based polyurethane materials, which has become the main obstacle to their popularization and application.

[0004] To overcome this technical problem, researchers have begun to explore ways to improve the performance of bio-based polyurethane materials through modification means. Attapulgite, as a natural mineral filler, has been widely used in the modification of polymer materials due to its unique layered structure and excellent mechanical properties. However, the compatibility between attapulgite and the polyurethane matrix is poor, resulting in unsatisfactory dispersion and reinforcement effects in polyurethane materials.

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] Data Analysis:

[0081] From the data of Examples 1-3 in Table 1, it can be seen that the bio-based polyurethane cushioning material prepared by the present invention has high compressive strength and compression modulus, which indicates that the material exhibits excellent mechanical properties when subjected to external pressure. This high strength and high modulus property means that the material can effectively resist deformation and provide good support and protection when subjected to impact or compression. In addition, its hysteresis loss rate is less than 20% and its elastic recovery rate is higher than 99%, which indicates that the material can quickly return to its original shape after deformation and has excellent resilience and energy absorption capacity. Such performance makes the bio-based polyurethane cushioning material exhibit better adaptability and durability in various applications, especially in situations where high resilience and lightweight design are required.

[0082] As can be seen from the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 in Table 1, relative to the branched polyol containing tertiary amine, the branched polyol containing quaternary ammonium salt can effectively improve the compressive strength and compression modulus of polyurethane cushioning material, the most important thing is, significantly reduce the hysteresis loss rate and improve the elastic recovery rate, this is mainly due to the quaternary ammonium salt in the branched polyol containing quaternary ammonium salt can be intercalated in the interlayer of attapulgite by ion exchange, on the one hand improve the interlayer spacing of attapulgite, on the other hand introduce polyol, so that attapulgite can be cross-linked by the polyol and diisocyanate in the interlayer, thereby improving the mechanical properties and elastic properties of polyurethane material. Specifically, the introduction of quaternary ammonium salt not only enhances the compatibility between attapulgite and polyurethane matrix, but also promotes the formation of polyurethane network, and the attapulgite of uniformly dispersed intercalation modification in the polyurethane network can more effectively disperse stress when stressed, reducing the permanent deformation of material.

[0083] From the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 in Table 1, it can be seen that during the intercalation modification, low-molecular-weight polytetrahydrofuran ether diol can more effectively improve the buffering performance of the polyurethane buffer material. This is mainly because low-molecular-weight polytetrahydrofuran ether diol has lower steric hindrance and can be more effectively intercalated into attapulgite, thus cooperating with the quaternary ammonium salt-containing branched polyol and diisocyanate to form a more stable crosslinked structure, which helps to improve the flexibility and impact resistance of the polyurethane material, enabling the material to better restore its shape when subjected to external forces and reducing the risk of damage and deformation.

[0084] From the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1, it can be seen that compared with the traditional cetyltrimethylammonium chloride intercalation modification, the intercalation modification with the quaternary ammonium salt-containing branched polyol prepared by the present invention can significantly improve the compression performance and recovery performance of the polyurethane buffer material. This is mainly because the quaternary ammonium salt-containing branched polyol effectively regulates the layer spacing of attapulgite and improves the compatibility of attapulgite in the polyurethane matrix.

[0085] From the data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 4 in Table 1, it can be seen that compared with directly adding attapulgite, the attapulgite intercalation modified with the quaternary ammonium salt-containing branched polyol and polytetrahydrofuran ether diol with a weight average molecular weight of 650 can significantly improve the compression performance and recovery performance of the polyurethane buffer material. This is mainly because the quaternary ammonium salt-containing branched polyol and polytetrahydrofuran ether diol coordinately regulate the interlayer structure of attapulgite and promote the formation of the polyurethane network structure.

[0086] Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: the discussion of any above embodiment is only exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention is limited to these examples; under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations in different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity.
