Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of foamed materials, and relates to a non-polyurethane foamed material, and also relates to a preparation method of the non-polyurethane foamed material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Foamed materials are a kind of materials that realize lightness, buffering, heat insulation and other functions through a porous structure, and have been widely used in packaging protection, building insulation, traffic sound insulation and other fields. Currently, the most common foamed materials on the market are polyurethane (PU), polystyrene (EPS / XPS), polyethylene (PE) and phenolic (PF), and the core technical indicators mainly include density (generally 10-100 kg / m3), closed cell rate (high-quality products can reach more than 90%, directly affecting the heat insulation and waterproof effect), compressive strength (0.1-2.0 MPa), thermal conductivity (0.020-0.045 W / (m K) and temperature resistance range (different materials have large differences, and the temperature resistance range is about -50℃ to 150℃). They have their own advantages and disadvantages: PU foamed material has good flexibility and strong bonding force, but poor high-temperature resistance; EPS / XPS has low cost and good heat insulation effect, but is brittle and easy to age; PE foamed material is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, and has good chemical corrosion resistance, but has insufficient mechanical strength; phenolic foamed material has excellent flame retardance and high-temperature resistance, but has high brittleness and complex forming process.

[0003] Chemical foaming polystyrene is a foamed material formed by the decomposition of a chemical foaming agent to produce gas, so that the polystyrene (PS) matrix forms a porous structure, and the foaming rate is usually 1.2-2.8 times. The core is used for injection / molding of structural parts. However, the chemical foaming polystyrene has low foaming rate and high cost compared with physical foaming. How to solve the problems of low foaming rate (1.2-2.8) and high price of chemical foaming polystyrene has become an obstacle to its development. SUMMARY

[0011] In step 1, the stirring temperature is 50-80℃, and the stirring time is 30-90min.

[0012] The specific process of step 2 is: the mixture after the reaction of step 1 is added with divinylbenzene again under the nitrogen atmosphere, and the stirring is continued.

[0013] In step 2, the mass ratio of the product of step 1 and the divinylbenzene is 1:0.4-0.6.

[0014] In step 2, the stirring temperature is 50-80℃, and the stirring time is 6-14h.

[0015] The second technical solution adopted by the present application is the non-polyurethane foaming material prepared by the above preparation method of the non-polyurethane foaming material.
