BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0052] Figure 1 Picture of the burst bead prepared in Example 1; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The application will be further described below in combination with specific examples and comparative examples. The following examples and comparative examples are intended to illustrate the application rather than further limit the application.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] 15 g of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin (Jiangsu Sanmu Chemical Co., Ltd., SM6105-80, softening point 70℃, melt viscosity 100 mpa·s, epoxy value 0.24), 75 g of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Yu Cheng Plastic Co., Ltd., 1317, softening point 80℃, melt viscosity 150 mpa·s), 3 g of photoinitiator 184, 5 g of viscosity regulator paraffin, and 2 g of antioxidant 1010 were weighed into a melting kettle, the temperature was raised to 70-85℃, and the kettle was melted in the dark for 1-2 h. Then, the melted liquid was treated by ultrasonic to remove bubbles to obtain a light yellow transparent viscous liquid, which was finally transferred into a thermostat for standby. A DWJ-2000S type full-automatic drop pill machine was started, the temperature of the glue tank (wall material) was raised to 80℃ and kept, the temperature of the material tank (core material) was raised to 40℃ and kept, the coaxial double needle drop head (diameter 2.5 mm) heater was turned on, the temperature was controlled at about 80℃ (±3℃, the same below) and kept, the glue pipeline heater was turned on, and the temperature was controlled at about 80℃ and kept. The solidification liquid circulation cooling system was turned on, the solidification liquid temperature was reduced to 20℃, then the stirring in the glue tank and the material tank was turned on, and the speed was adjusted to 100 r / min. After the temperature of each system was raised to the required temperature and the operation was normal, the wall material solution transferred into the thermostat was taken out and poured into the glue tank, the aqueous solution was poured into the material tank, and when the glue and the material liquid were both raised to the set temperature, the preparation could be started.

[0056] After everything is ready, start the glue pump, material pump, and control the glue injection speed and material liquid injection speed to 4:1, extrude and drop into the curing liquid (ethanol: water = 100:6) through the coaxial double-needle drop head. The capsule is quickly formed in the curing liquid, and then the formed capsule is subjected to photocuring under the ultraviolet lamp (254 nm, the same below) to obtain a large number of water-soluble core material capsules with uniform particle size and good roundness. The product and cross-sectional view are shown in Figure 1

[0057] The obtained capsule wall material is uniform in thickness, the average diameter is 3.16 mm, and the water-containing capsule yield (the percentage of the number of water-containing capsules in the total number of water-containing capsules and non-water-containing capsules in the same batch) reaches 99%. The capsules prepared without the photocuring step have no brittle sound when kneaded and broken, and the strength is 2N; while the capsules prepared after the photocuring step have a larger brittle sound after kneading and breaking, and the average strength is 10.5N, and the water content is 84.5%; after being placed in the air for one month, the water content is reduced by 1.4% (the water retention performance is shown in Table 1), which indicates that it has excellent water retention performance.

[0058]

[0059] It can be seen that the water-retaining capsules prepared in this case have excellent morphology and excellent water-retaining effect.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Compared with Example 1, the total polymer (the total amount of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) is 90g, and the difference is only in the control of the ratio of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, which are (1): 0:100; (2): 5:95; (3) 10:90; (4) 15:85; (5): 20:80; (6): 25:75; (7): 30:70; (8): 35:65: (9): 40:60; (10): 45:55; other processes and operations are the same as Example 1.

[0062] The parameters of the prepared capsules are shown in Table 2:

[0063] Note: (a) refers to the weight ratio of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer;

[0064] (b): refers to the strength after photocuring;

[0065] ​By adjusting the ratio of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in the wall material, the strength of the burst beads gradually increases with the increase of the amount of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin, but the water retention performance of the burst beads gradually deteriorates, and when the amount of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin is large, the yield of the burst beads is low. When the weight ratio of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is between 15:85 and 25:75, the burst beads prepared have suitable strength and excellent water retention performance.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that paraffin oil is used as the curing liquid, and other operations and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0068] In this example, only the type of curing liquid is changed compared with Example 1. The obtained capsules have better roundness of shape than those in Example 1, and the strength, water content, and water retention of the capsules are comparable to those in Example 1. The production yield is more than 99%, the wall material thickness of the obtained capsules is uniform, the average diameter is 3.2 mm, the capsules prepared after the photocuring step have a larger brittle sound when burst, the average strength is 10.6 N, and the water content is 85%. When placed in air, the water content decreases by 1.3% after one month, indicating that the capsules have excellent water retention performance.

[0069] Example 4

[0070] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the diameter of the drop head is changed to 3 mm. Other operations and parameters are the same as those in Example 1. The average diameter of the prepared capsules is 3.5 mm, the water content increases, the average water content is 87%, and the production yield is 98%.

[0071] Example 5

[0072] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the properties of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are changed, for example, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Yu Cheng Plastic Co., Ltd., viscosity 200 mpa·s) is used. Other parameters and operations are the same as those in Example 1.

[0073] The roundness of the prepared capsules and the uniformity of the wall thickness decrease compared with Example 1, the average diameter is 3.3 mm, the average water content is 82%, and the production yield is 96%.

[0074] Example 6

[0075] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the properties of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin are changed, for example, bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin (Jiangsu Sanmu Chemical Co., Ltd., viscosity 200 mpa·s, epoxy value 0.44) is used. Other operations and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0076] The capsule roundness and wall thickness uniformity of this embodiment are not as good as those of Example 1, and the average strength after photocuring is 8.9 N, the average diameter is 3.35 mm, the average water content is 84.3%, and the production yield is 95%.

[0077] Comparative Example 1

[0078] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that only one kind of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin is used, that is, the amount of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin is 90 g, and the amount of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 0 g; other parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0079] It is not possible to uniformly wrap water.

[0080] Comparative Example 2

[0081] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer required by the application is not used, that is, in this comparative example, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Yu Cheng Plastic Co., Ltd., softening point 80℃, viscosity 300 mpa·s) is not used, and other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0082] It is not possible to produce capsules with regular shape and good roundness, and the production yield is less than 50%.

[0083] Comparative Example 3

[0084] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer required by the application is not used, that is, in this comparative example, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Yu Cheng Plastic Co., Ltd., softening point 80℃, viscosity 50 mpa·s) is not used, and other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0085] This comparative example changes the viscosity of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer compared with Example 1. When the viscosity of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 50 mpa·s, it is difficult to produce capsules with uniform wall material wrapping the aqueous solution, and the production yield is low, only 76%.

[0086] Comparative Example 4

[0087] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that no antioxidant is added, and other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1. This comparative example does not add an antioxidant compared with Example 1, and its water retention performance is poorer than that of Example 1 after six months of storage, and its water retention rate is only 75%.

[0088] Comparative Example 5

[0089] Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that no photoinitiator is added, and other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 1.

[0090] The comparative example 1 does not add a photoinitiator, and the prepared burst ball has poor strength, and the strength after photoinitiation is 2.8 N.

[0091] Comparative example 6

[0092] Compared with example 1, the only difference is that the amount of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin (same as example 1) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (same as example 1) is improved, and the steps are as follows:

The kettle is melted in the dark for 1-2 h, then the melted liquid is treated by ultrasonic to remove bubbles to obtain a light yellow transparent viscous liquid, and finally it is transferred into a incubator for standby. Start the DWJ-2000S full-automatic drop pill machine, raise the temperature of the glue tank (wall material) to 80°C and keep it warm, raise the temperature of the material tank (core material) to 40°C and keep it warm, turn on the coaxial double needle drop head (diameter 2.5 mm) heater, control the temperature at about 80°C (±3°C, the same below) and keep it warm, turn on the glue pipeline heater, control the temperature at about 80°C and keep it warm. Turn on the solidification liquid circulating cooling system, reduce the temperature of the solidification liquid to 20°C, then turn on the stirring in the glue tank and the material tank, and adjust the speed to 100 r / min. After the temperature of each system rises to the required temperature and runs normally, the wall material solution transferred into the incubator is taken out and poured into the glue tank, the aqueous solution is poured into the material tank, and the glue and material liquids are raised to the set temperature before starting the preparation.

[0094] After everything is ready, start the glue pump and the material pump, and control the glue injection speed and the material liquid injection speed to 4:1, extrude and drop into the solidification liquid (ethanol: water = 100:6) through the coaxial double needle drop head. The capsule is quickly formed in the solidification liquid, and the formed capsule is then subjected to photocuring under the ultraviolet lamp.

[0095] Compared with example 1, the amount of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is changed in the comparative example 1. Under the condition of the ratio, the qualified rate of the produced burst ball is low, the production yield is 75%, and the obtained burst ball has poor water retention, and the water retention rate is only 80% after one month.

[0096] Comparative example 7

[0097] Compared with example 1, the only difference is that other hot melt adhesives are used to replace the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and the steps are as follows:

[0098] Take 15 g of bisphenol A epoxy acrylate resin (same as in Example 1), 75 g of polyamide hot melt adhesive, 3 g of photoinitiator 184, 5 g of viscosity modifier paraffin, and 2 g of antioxidant 1010 into a melting kettle, raise the temperature to 70-85°C, melt in the kettle for 1-2 h in the dark, then remove the bubbles from the melted liquid by ultrasonic treatment to obtain a light yellow transparent viscous liquid, and finally transfer it into a incubator for standby. Start the DWJ-2000S full-automatic drop pill machine, raise the temperature of the glue tank (wall material) to 80°C and keep it warm, raise the temperature of the material tank (core material) to 40°C and keep it warm, turn on the coaxial double-needle drop head (diameter 2.5 mm) heater and control the temperature at about 80°C (±3°C, the same below) and keep it warm, turn on the glue pipe heater and control the temperature at about 80°C and keep it warm. Turn on the solidification liquid circulation cooling system, reduce the temperature of the solidification liquid to 20°C, then turn on the stirring in the glue tank and the material tank and adjust the speed to 100 r / min. After the temperature of each system rises to the required temperature and runs normally, take out the wall material solution transferred into the incubator and pour it into the glue tank, pour the aqueous solution into the material tank, and start preparing when the glue and material liquids both rise to the set temperature.

[0099] After everything is ready, start the glue pump and the material pump, control the glue injection speed and the material liquid injection speed to 4:1, and extrude and drop into the solidification liquid (ethanol:water = 100:6) through the coaxial double-needle drop head. The capsule is quickly formed in the solidification liquid, and the formed capsule is then photocured under the ultraviolet lamp.

[0100] In this comparative example, the type of hot melt adhesive is changed from ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to polyamide hot melt adhesive. The obtained blasting beads have poor water retention and low qualified rate, only 70%.

[0101] The present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments, as long as the wall material formula of the present application is used as the wall material, whether it is to regulate the composition of the wall material, improve the core material solution, use different means, or use different drop pill machine equipment to prepare the aqueous solution core material capsule, all of which are within the scope of the present application.
