Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of polymer auxetic materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a high-performance integrated polyurethane elastomer auxetic material. Background technology:

[0002] Auxetic materials are materials that exhibit negative Poisson's ratios, expanding perpendicularly when subjected to tension and / or contracting when subjected to compression. This auxetic behavior can improve a material's shear modulus, indentation resistance, fracture toughness, and energy absorption capacity, and holds significant potential for application in medical devices, cushioning and protective equipment, smart sensors and filters, aviation, marine, and defense industries. Traditional materials typically achieve negative Poisson's ratios through geometric shapes and deformation-based design, creating auxetic materials and structures from the macroscopic to the molecular level. Examples include concave structures, rotating rigid bodies, chiral / antichiral structures, fiber / node structures, origami structures, and pleated structures. The rotation, expansion, and contraction of these structural frameworks imbue these traditional materials with negative Poisson's ratios.

[0003] Currently, the auxetic geometric structures of polymer auxetic materials often contain hinges and pores, which significantly weaken the material's performance. Stress concentration is also prone to occur near the hinge areas, making the auxetic material susceptible to fatigue and significantly limiting its application. Composite materials with appropriate geometric structures and compositions can effectively overcome this bottleneck. Auxetic structural materials serve as reinforcements, while soft materials serve as the matrix. Thanks to the auxetic effect of the reinforcements, the soft matrix dissipates stress under biaxial or triaxial loading, improving the composite's strength and toughness through the synergistic effect of the soft and hard phases. However, these auxetic composites have weak interfacial bonding between the two phases, making them prone to localized delamination and other phenomena, which affect the material's stability in use.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention increases the hydrogen bonding sites in the polyurethane elastomer, densifies the hydrogen bonding array, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer, and uses a hydrogen bonding regulator to pattern the hydrogen bonding network, giving the polyurethane elastomer tensile properties while solving the defects of the material such as poor mechanical properties and weak interfacial bonding force, thereby realizing the application of polyurethane elastomer tensile materials in the field of flexible stretchable materials. Summary of the invention:

[0102] (1) Dissolve 2.26 g of lysine diisocyanate and 0.02 g of tetraisobutyl titanate in tetrahydrofuran and react with 10 g of polypropylene glycol-2000 at 70 °C for 2 h.

[0103] (2) 2.50 g of diphenylmethane diisocyanate was added to the reaction system, and 2.91 g of isophthalic acid hydrazide was added, and the reaction was continued at 70 °C for 24 h. After removing the solvent, a high-strength and high-toughness polyurethane elastomer was obtained.

[0104] (3) A sinusoidal band link structure was engraved on a polypropylene sheet using a laser to obtain a mold with a patterned structure. A polyurethane elastomer was sandwiched between two molds, and methanol was filled into the gaps in the structure. After infiltration drying, a polyurethane elastomer material of the comparative example was obtained.

[0105] Tensile properties and Poisson's ratio of polyurethane elastomer auxetic materials

[0106] The polyurethane elastomer materials of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to uniaxial tensile testing at room temperature using an ETM504C universal testing machine at a tensile rate of 50 mm / min. The transverse and longitudinal strains of the materials were recorded during the tensile process, and the Poisson's ratio of the materials at different tensile strains was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0107] Table 1 Performance indicators of Examples 1 to 14 and Comparative Examples.

[0108]

[0109] As shown in Table 1, the polyurethane elastomer auxetic materials of Examples 1-6 all exhibit excellent mechanical properties. Modifying the components and proportions allows for the manipulation of these properties, and patterning the hydrogen-bonding network does not significantly affect the mechanical properties. Furthermore, compared to the positive Poisson's ratio of Comparative Example 1, Examples 1-6 exhibit negative Poisson's ratios within the tensile strain range of 0-17%, and this negative Poisson's ratio can be manipulated through the auxetic geometry and hydrogen-bonding modifiers.

[0110] In summary, increasing hydrogen bonding sites in polyurethane elastomers can improve their mechanical properties, imparting them with excellent strength and toughness. The patterning of the hydrogen bonding network within the polyurethane elastomer by a hydrogen bonding modulator imparts auxetic properties to the material while maintaining its excellent mechanical properties. This integrated preparation method addresses shortcomings such as poor mechanical properties and weak interfacial bonding forces, enabling the application of polyurethane elastomer auxetic materials in the field of flexible, stretchable materials.
