Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organosilicon polymer materials technology, specifically relating to cationic organosilicon. Background Technology
[0002] There are some reports on cationic organosilicones in the prior art, such as quaternary ammonium salt organosilicones, in which quaternary ammonium salt groups are firmly bonded to the siloxane backbone in the form of side chains via alkyl segments, relying on stable quaternary ammonium salt cations (-N + R3, through strong electrostatic adsorption, inserts into and tears the cell membrane / wall of microorganisms, causing leakage of contents and killing the microorganisms. This is one of the most classic and effective antibacterial mechanisms. Its single cationic head and single hydrophobic chain structure determines that its charge density and membrane-disrupting ability have theoretical limits. Although dual-chain alkyl quaternary ammonium salt organosilicon / gemini quaternary ammonium salt organosilicon has better antibacterial function, its synthesis is complex and costly; its extremely strong hydrophobicity makes its dissolution and dispersion in water exceptionally difficult; it easily forms micelles or precipitates, requiring very strong special emulsification systems or highly polar solvents (such as alcohols) to form stable formulations, which increases the processing difficulty and cost for downstream users. Reactive quaternary ammonium salt organosilicon has alkoxy groups at the molecular ends or side chains, which can form Si-OC bonds on the substrate surface, fixing the quaternary ammonium salt in the coating; however, the Si-OC bonds are easily hydrolyzed and unstable. The aforementioned quaternary ammonium salt organosilicones are small molecule materials, which have the disadvantage of Si-O bonds being susceptible to hydrolysis. Most of them are linear molecules, and linear molecules tend to encapsulate cations, affecting physical adsorption properties and thus impacting antibacterial durability. Even reactive quaternary ammonium salt organosilicones form a "single" network structure on the substrate surface, which also exhibits poor hydrolysis resistance.
[0003] Highly effective antibacterial properties (instantaneous killing): require cationic groups that are easily exposed and readily contact microorganisms. This tends to favor structures with smaller molecular weights and higher mobility, enabling rapid diffusion to the location of microorganisms. Long-lasting antibacterial properties, on the other hand, require molecules to firmly adsorb onto the substrate to form a stable film that is not easily eluted. This tends to favor structures with larger molecular weights and a greater number of adsorption sites. Therefore, how to prepare cationic organosilicones that possess both highly effective antibacterial properties and excellent durability is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems of poor hydrolysis resistance and inadequate antibacterial effect, especially long-lasting antibacterial properties, existing cationic organosilicones provide a cationic organosilicon, its preparation method, and its application. This invention uses SH-containing silicone resin and unsaturated olefin cationic compounds as raw materials, employs a mercaptoene reaction to prepare cationic silicone resin, and applies it to an antibacterial coating. Experiments have shown that it can improve both instantaneous bactericidal effect and long-lasting antibacterial performance, while also possessing the advantages of silicone resins such as heat resistance, weather resistance, and hydrolysis resistance.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a cationic organosilicon with the following structure:
[0007] (Me3SiO 0.5 ) a (R2Me2SiO 0.5 ) b (Me2SiO) c (R2MeSiO) d (MeSiO 1.5 ) e (R2SiO 1.5 ) f (SiO2)g,
[0008] Where a is 7–12, b is 0–10, c is 4–30, d is 2–15, e is 4–15, f is 6–30; g is 30–50; R2 is (CH2). n+1 S(CH2) m+3 R1M, R1 is + N(CH3)3, + N(C2H5)3, + N(CH3)2CH2CH2OH, pyridine cation or imidazole cation; M is Cl - , Br - I - Or BF4 - n = 0 or 2; m = 0 to 9.
[0009] Furthermore, when b is 0, the preferred structure is: (Me3SiO) 0.5 ) a (Me2SiO) c (R2MeSiO) d (MeSiO 1.5 ) e (R2SiO 1.5 ) f (SiO2) g Wherein, a is 8 to 10, c is 8 to 25, more preferably 10 to 20; d is 4 to 12, more preferably 6 to 10; e is 6 to 12, more preferably 8 to 10; f is 10 to 25, more preferably 14 to 20; g is 35 to 45, more preferably 38 to 42.
[0010] When b is not 0, the preferred structure is: (Me3SiO) 0.5 ) a (R2Me2SiO 0.5 ) b (Me2SiO)c (R2MeSiO) d (MeSiO 1.5 ) e (R2SiO 1.5 ) f (SiO2) g Wherein, a is 8 to 10, b is 3 to 8, more preferably 5 to 7; c is 8 to 20, more preferably 10 to 15; d is 4 to 10, more preferably 6 to 8; e is 6 to 13, more preferably 8 to 12; f is 10 to 20, more preferably 13 to 16; g is 35 to 45, more preferably 38 to 42.
[0011] Furthermore, the (CH2) n+1 S(CH2) m+3 R1M, m is 2 to 7, more preferably 4 to 6.
[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing cationic organosilicon, comprising the following steps:
[0013] (1) Place the SH-containing silicone resin and solvent in a reaction vessel and start stirring to dissolve;
[0014] (2) Under a protective atmosphere, metered unsaturated olefin cationic compounds and initiators are added dropwise to the reaction vessel, and the reaction is maintained for 0.5 to 2 hours. The solvent is removed to obtain cationic silicone resin.
[0015] The structure of the SH-containing silicone resin is: (Me3SiO) 0.5 ) a (RMe2SiO 0.5 ) b (Me2SiO) c (RMeSiO) d (MeSiO 1.5 ) e (RSiO 1.5 ) f (SiO2) g R = CH2CH2CH2SH or / and CH2SH; a is 7-12, b is 0-10, c is 4-30, d is 2-15, e is 4-15, f is 6-30; g is 30-50;
[0016] The unsaturated olefinic cationic compound is CH2=CH(CH2)mCH2R1M, where m=0~9; R1 is… + N(CH3)3, + N(C2H5)3, + N(CH3)2CH2CH2OH, pyridine cation, imidazole cation, etc.; M is Cl - , Br- I - BF4 - The amount added is determined by the molar ratio of SH:Vi (mercapto:vinyl) = 1 to 1.05:1;
[0017] The initiator is benzoin dimethyl ether, 2-isopropylthioxanthraquinone, photoinitiator Irgacure 369, or any combination of two, and its addition amount is 0.2% to 3% of the total mass of SH resin and unsaturated anionic monomer.
[0018] In order to shorten the reaction time and optimize the light source selectivity by combining the initiators, the initiators are further composed of benzoin dimethyl ether and 2-isopropylthioxanthrone in a mass ratio of 2:1, which shortens the reaction time to 1 hour.
[0019] Furthermore, the initiator is a mixture of benzoin dimethyl ether and photoinitiator Irgacure 369 in a mass ratio of 1:1, which shortens the reaction time to 0.5 h.
[0020] Furthermore, the preferred structure of the SH-containing silicone resin when b is 0 is: (Me3SiO) 0.5 ) a (Me2SiO) c (RMeSiO) d (MeSiO 1.5 ) e (RSiO 1.5 ) f (SiO2) g R = CH2CH2CH2SH or / and CH2SH; a is 8-10, c is 8-25, more preferably 12-20; d is 4-12, more preferably 6-10; e is 6-12, more preferably 8-10; f is 10-25, more preferably 13-20; g is 35-45, more preferably 30-40.
[0021] When b is not 0, its preferred structure is: (Me3SiO) 0.5 ) a (RMe2SiO 0.5 ) b (Me2SiO) c (RMeSiO) d (MeSiO 1.5 ) e (RSiO 1.5 ) f (SiO2) ga is 8-10, b is 1-8, more preferably 3-7; c is 6-26, more preferably 8-22; d is 2-15, more preferably 5-12; e is 4-15, more preferably 7-12; f is 6-30, more preferably 9-26; g is 30-50, more preferably 33-45.
[0022] Furthermore, in the unsaturated olefinic cationic compound CH2=CH(CH2)mCH2R1M, m is preferably 2 to 8, more preferably 4 to 6.
[0023] Furthermore, the solvent is methanol, ethanol, DMSO, DMF, DMC, etc.
[0024] When the structure of the SH-containing silicone resin is known, it can be prepared using existing synthesis methods. For example, the specific mass of silane monomer to be fed can be determined based on the molar ratio of the units in the structural formula. A certain amount of deionized water, 37wt% concentrated hydrochloric acid, ethanol, and hexamethyldisiloxane are added sequentially to a four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, condenser, and thermometer. The mixture is stirred and heated. Then, the desired monosilane monomer solution is added to the four-necked flask under rapid stirring. The reaction is stirred at 50–60°C, and the reaction progress can be monitored by sampling until the solution separates into layers and a white viscous product is formed. After standing and separating, the lower layer of resin product is washed with water until neutral, and then dried to obtain the corresponding silicone resin. Alternatively, a stepwise method can be used: first, non-mercaptosilanes are pre-hydrolyzed at low temperature (e.g., 30°C) for 1–2 hours to form oligomers containing Si-OH; then, mercaptosilanes are dissolved in a solvent and slowly added dropwise to the pre-hydrolyzed solution. At this point, the mercaptosilane will undergo co-condensation with the Si-OH on the oligomer, thereby attaching the mercapto segments to the already formed backbone for a more uniform distribution; finally, the temperature is raised to 50-60℃ to promote overall polymerization.
[0025] The third aspect of this invention provides the application of cationic organosilicon as a bactericide and bacteriostatic agent.
[0026] It is prepared into a solution and used as the active ingredient in a bactericide. Its concentration range is 5–20 mg / L, preferably 8–12 mg / L.
[0027] Water, methanol, and ethanol can be used as solvents.
[0028] As an antibacterial coating, it has both immediate bactericidal and long-lasting antibacterial properties.
[0029] It is used to kill various common bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
[0030] It can be applied or sprayed onto various solid surfaces, such as glass, ceramics, and plastics, to achieve bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects.
[0031] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The cationic organosilicon prepared by the present invention has a three-dimensional network silicone resin structure, which allows the cations on the skeleton to spread and be exposed better, increases the physical adsorption with the substrate surface, improves the instantaneous bactericidal effect and long-lasting antibacterial performance, and also has the advantages of silicone resin such as heat resistance, weather resistance and hydrolysis resistance.
[0032] (2) It has strong bactericidal ability and broad-spectrum antibacterial properties; physical adsorption does not damage the substrate surface and has a wide range of applications.
[0033] (3) The synthesis process is highly atom-economical and conforms to the principles of green chemistry; it has high selectivity and efficiency; the reaction rate is fast and the conversion rate is high. It can usually be completed by ultraviolet light irradiation at room temperature or lower temperature, which saves energy and is beneficial to protect heat-sensitive components; it effectively avoids the risk of cross-linking and gelation.
