Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polyurethane elastomers, and in particular relates to a siloxane-grafted polyurethane elastomer material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Seismic isolation bearings refer to the supporting devices set up by buildings or bridges to meet the requirements of seismic isolation. An isolation layer is added between the upper structure of the building or bridge and the foundation to play a soft connection with the ground, which can offset about 80% of the energy of the earthquake. At present, the rubber seismic isolation bearing is widely used, which is made of multiple layers of steel plates and natural rubber alternately stacked. The steel plate is used as a stiffening material for the rubber bearing, which changes the characteristic of the small vertical stiffness of the rubber body, so that it can not only reduce the horizontal earthquake effect, but also withstand large vertical loads. However, natural rubber has the characteristics of good elasticity and insufficient damping and seismic isolation. Therefore, it is necessary to add carbon black, damping materials, etc. to improve the damping performance of natural rubber. However, after adding a certain amount of carbon black, damping materials, etc., the damping performance of natural rubber will not continue to increase after reaching the limit. The high damping rubber bearings prepared from natural rubber generally have an equivalent damping ratio of 12%~15%, which is difficult to reach more than 20%; and natural rubber has poor aging and weather resistance. After long-term use, the seismic isolation bearing will have cracks on the surface and unstable mechanical properties due to material aging.

[0003] Compared with natural rubber, polyurethane materials have the advantages of high mechanical properties, strong load-bearing capacity, good aging and ozone resistance, and long service life.

[0004] However, although polyurethane material has excellent low-temperature resistance and will not crack in an environment of -70°C, its performance will change significantly in a low-temperature environment, manifested as an increase in elastic modulus, a decrease in flexibility, a decrease in the vertical and horizontal deformation capacity of the seismic isolation bearing, and even shear cracking, which will destroy the performance of the bearing.

[0005] The silicone-polyurethane copolymer synthesized with silicone as the soft segment exhibits good low-temperature flexibility and weather resistance. At present, there are two main ways to modify polyurethane with silicone. One is to use polydimethylsiloxane terminated with active hydroxyl groups to form a block copolymer with polyurethane; the other is to use polydimethylsiloxane with active groups in the side chain to form a silicone-polyurethane copolymer by grafting reaction with polyurethane. In the former, the siloxane chain segment is embedded in the main chain of polyurethane, and the ability to migrate to the surface is restrained by the main chain. Therefore, in order to obtain a better surface modification effect, a large amount of polydimethylsiloxane needs to be added, which leads to a decrease in the mechanical properties of polyurethane; in the latter, the siloxane chain is suspended on the main chain of polyurethane, which is conducive to the migration of silicon atoms to the surface, and can better improve the low-temperature flexibility and weather resistance of polyurethane.

[0006] However, on the other hand, polyurethane materials also have the problem of high endogenous heat generation, which leads to poor weather resistance, restricting the long-term use of polyurethane under high-frequency vibration conditions. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a siloxane-grafted polyurethane elastomer material and a preparation method and application thereof.

However, because the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene molecule contains double bonds, the aging performance deteriorates. The present invention uses vinyl trimethoxy silane to polymerize with the double bonds in the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene molecule, which not only reduces the aging risk caused by the presence of double bonds, but also improves the aging performance of the elastomer material while maintaining the excellent low temperature of the polyurethane elastomer material; and further reduces the elastic modulus and hardness change rate of the polyurethane elastomer material under low temperature conditions without affecting the mechanical properties and damping properties of the polyurethane elastomer material, thereby improving the low-temperature deformation performance of the polyurethane material. In summary, the siloxane-grafted polyurethane elastomer material obtained by the preparation method provided by the present invention has low endogenous heat generation, small elastic modulus change rate under low temperature environment, and high damping performance, and is suitable as a substrate for seismic isolation bearings.

[0038] The trihydroxy polyether and the second isocyanate are mixed to carry out a first polymerization reaction to obtain a polyether prepolymer;

[0039] The siloxane-grafted prepolymer, the polyether prepolymer, the chain extender and the catalyst are mixed to carry out a second polymerization reaction to obtain the siloxane-grafted polyurethane elastomer material.

[0040] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, all preparation raw materials / components are commercially available products well known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] The present invention mixes terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene and a first isocyanate (hereinafter referred to as the first mixture) for polycondensation reaction to obtain a polycondensation product; and mixes the polycondensation product, vinyl trimethoxysilane and an initiator (hereinafter referred to as the second mixture) for grafting reaction to obtain a siloxane grafted prepolymer.

[0042] The present invention first mixes terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene and a first isocyanate to carry out polycondensation reaction to obtain a polycondensation product.

[0043] In the present invention, the average molecular weight of the hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene is preferably 2000-3500, more preferably 2500-3000.

In the present invention, the dehydration is preferably vacuum drying, the vacuum drying temperature is preferably 110-120° C., and the vacuum drying insulation time is 1.5-2.5 h.

[0046] In the present invention, the main reason for the high heat generation of polyurethane is that the molecule contains a large number of polar groups and hydrogen bonds, and the intermolecular force is large.

However, because the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene molecule contains double bonds, the aging performance will be worse. In the present invention, vinyl trimethoxy silane is used to polymerize with the double bonds in the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene molecule, which reduces the aging risk caused by the presence of double bonds, and improves the aging performance of the elastomer material while maintaining the excellent low temperature of the polyurethane elastomer material.

[0097] Compared with the prior art, the siloxane-grafted polyurethane elastomer seismic isolation bearing provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0098] (1) The present invention introduces terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene and trihydroxy polyether into the molecular structure of polyurethane to reduce the internal heat generation of polyurethane elastomer. The main reason for the high heat generation of polyurethane is that the molecule contains a large number of polar groups and hydrogen bonds, and the intermolecular force is large. The molecular long chain of terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene is a non-polar structure, and the cohesive energy of trihydroxy polyether is weak, and the intermolecular force is small. Therefore, the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene and trihydroxy polyether are introduced into the molecular structure to reduce the internal heat generation of polyurethane elastomer.

[0099] (2) The present invention introduces terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene into the main chain of the polyurethane elastomer and introduces siloxane into the side chain to enhance the flexibility of the elastomer material at low temperatures and reduce the rate of change of the elastic modulus under low temperature conditions. The glass transition temperature of terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene is low, and the polyurethane elastomer material prepared therefrom has better low temperature performance. However, because the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene molecule contains double bonds, the aging performance will deteriorate. In the present invention, vinyl trimethoxy silane is used to undergo a polymerization reaction with the double bonds in the terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene molecule, thereby reducing the aging risk caused by the presence of double bonds, and improving the aging performance of the elastomer material while maintaining the excellent low temperature performance of the polyurethane elastomer material. The siloxane-grafted terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene prepolymer prepared by the present invention grafts siloxane onto the polyurethane elastomer molecular chain, further reducing the elastic modulus and hardness change rate of the polyurethane elastomer material at low temperatures without affecting the mechanical properties and damping properties of the polyurethane elastomer material, thereby improving the low temperature deformation performance of the polyurethane material.

[0100] (3) The present invention reacts trihydroxy polyether with isocyanate to generate a three-dimensional network structure polyurethane, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the polyurethane, increasing the load-bearing capacity of the polyurethane, and increasing the movement resistance between the molecular chains of the polyurethane elastomer, thereby improving the damping performance of the polyurethane elastomer.
