Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of fluorosilicone rubber structure control agents, and in particular to a single-terminated hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Fluorosilicone rubber molecules have a helical structure, very flexible molecular chains, weak inter-chain interactions, and low intermolecular cohesive energy density, making crystallization difficult. This results in extremely poor mechanical strength for pure fluorosilicone rubber, with a tensile strength of only 0.3-0.5 MPa after vulcanization, rendering it impractical. Adding reinforcing filler silica to fluorosilicone rubber is the main method for adjusting its physical and mechanical properties. However, the rubber compound formed by mixing fluorosilicone raw rubber with highly hydrophilic silica gradually hardens during storage, reducing its plasticity and eventually losing its reprocessing and molding characteristics. This phenomenon is called "fluorosilicone rubber structuring." The reason for this structuring is that silica particles have a large specific surface area and contain a large number of Si-OH groups on their surface (the cohesive force between particles is quite strong, making them prone to agglomeration and difficult to disperse in silicone rubber raw rubber, which is not conducive to reinforcement). At room temperature, the active Si-OH groups and their adsorbed water undergo condensation reactions with the silanol groups and residual alkoxy groups at the ends of the raw rubber molecules. Some active hydroxyl groups can also form hydrogen-bonded chemical adsorption with the silicone rubber molecular chains, forming a three-dimensional network structure.
[0003] To control the molecular interactions between fluorosilicone raw rubber and fillers and extend the shelf life of the rubber compound, a structure control agent is typically added during the mixing process. This structure control agent prevents or delays the structural process; it consists of organosilicon compounds with active groups. Its anti-structural function is attributed to the condensation reaction between the active groups of the structure control agent and the active hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica, which passivate or shield these groups, thus achieving the anti-structural purpose.
[0004] Common structure control agents include diols, silazanes, and low-molecular-weight alkoxysilanes. These agents all suffer from limitations such as limited functionality, poor stability, and high dosage requirements. Therefore, the currently used structure control agent is primarily HO(CH3CH2CH2CF3Si). 2-10 OH, using hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil as a structure control agent has the advantages of good anti-structure properties and transparent mixed adhesive. However, hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil has some defects, which can cause the adhesive to become sticky, which is not conducive to vulcanization and demolding. In addition, the adhesive may exhibit gelation, which reduces the mechanical properties of the adhesive. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems of difficult demolding and reduced mechanical properties of fluorosilicone rubber caused by using hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil as a structuring control agent, this application provides a single-ended hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, its preparation method, and its application.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a single-ended hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil, wherein the general structural formula of the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil is:
[0008]
[0009] Where 2≤n≤10, and R is alkyl or alkenyl.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil obtained in this application can avoid the agglomeration of silica during the process of using it as a structure control agent, reduce gel formation, and has good anti-structural properties. It can allow fluorosilicone compound to be stored for a long time without reducing plasticity, improve the mechanical properties and oil resistance of fluorosilicone rubber, and achieve a balance between the anti-agglomeration effect of the fluorosilicone rubber system and the mechanical properties of fluorosilicone rubber. In addition, it can also improve the problems of stickiness on the surface of the rubber compound, sticking to rollers and sticking to the mold during vulcanization, and ensure that fluorosilicone rubber can be easily demolded during the production process.
[0011] Preferably, R is methyl or vinyl, and the general structural formula of the single-terminated hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is:
[0012]
[0013] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing a single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil, employing the following technical solution: a method for preparing a single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil, wherein the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil is obtained by reacting silazane and hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil; the molecular structural formula of the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is:
[0014] Where 2≤n≤10;
[0015] The molecular structural formula of the silazane is:
[0016] Wherein, R is an alkyl or alkenyl group;
[0017] The reaction mechanism of the silazane with hydroxy fluorosilicone oil is as follows:
[0018]
[0019] Preferably, R is methyl or vinyl.
[0020] Preferably, the molar ratio of the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil to the silazane is 2:1.
[0021] Preferably, the preparation method of the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil includes the following steps:
[0022] Hydroxyfluorosilicone oil was subjected to vacuum dehydration treatment at 50°C and a vacuum degree not exceeding 100 kPa.
[0023] After dehydration by vacuum, connect the ammonia absorption device and control the vacuum degree of the ammonia absorption device to not exceed 0.01 MPa. Add silazane dropwise to the hydroxy fluorosilicone oil at 30-60℃, and control the dropwise addition time to 1-2 hours.
[0024] After the addition is complete, continue the reaction at 30–60°C until the reaction is complete, while maintaining ammonia absorption during the reaction.
[0025] After the reaction is complete, the low-boiling point is removed under conditions of 160℃ and a vacuum degree not exceeding 100KPa.
[0026] After the low-boiling point is removed, the temperature is lowered to below 50°C, and the material is discharged to obtain single-ended hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is first subjected to dehydration treatment under reduced pressure. Silazane has high activity, and water in the system easily leads to the hydrolysis of silazane. Then, silazane is added dropwise to react with the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil. Next, the system is subjected to de-boiling treatment to remove low-molecular-weight impurities and residual alkane substances. Finally, the material is cooled and discharged to obtain single-end hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil.
[0028] Since ammonia is alkaline, it can affect the activity of hydroxyl groups. Therefore, ammonia needs to be continuously absorbed during the reaction. However, excessive pressure can lead to the removal of silazane. Therefore, controlling the vacuum level to no more than 0.01 MPa can both continuously remove ammonia and ensure the stability of the system reaction.
[0029] Thirdly, this application provides the application of a single-terminated hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil as a structure control agent in fluorosilicone rubber.
[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0031] 1. The single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil of this application can prevent the agglomeration of silica during the process of using it as a structure control agent, reduce gel formation, and has good anti-structural properties. It can allow fluorosilicone compound to be stored for a long time with small changes in plasticity, improve the mechanical properties and oil resistance of fluorosilicone rubber, and take into account both the anti-agglomeration effect of fluorosilicone rubber system and the mechanical properties of fluorosilicone rubber. In addition, it also improves the problems of stickiness on the surface of the rubber compound, sticking to rollers and sticking to the mold during vulcanization, so that fluorosilicone rubber can be easily demolded during the production process and is easy to produce.
[0032] 2. This application uses silazane and hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil to react and generate single-hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil. The preparation process is simple, and the obtained single-hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil can enable the fluorosilicone compound to be stored for a long time without reducing its plasticity. It is easy to demold during the production process, and the obtained fluorosilicone rubber has excellent tensile strength, resilience and oil resistance. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To facilitate a better understanding of the technical solutions of this application, the following detailed description of this application is provided in conjunction with tables and embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] Example
[0040] Example 1
[0041] Weigh 2 mol of hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil and add it to a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer and a stir bar. Dehydrate the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil under reduced pressure at 50°C and a vacuum of 100 kPa for 1 hour.
[0042] After dehydration under reduced pressure, connect the four-necked flask to the ammonia absorption bottle, control the vacuum of the water pump to 0.01 MPa, and add 1 mol of silazane to the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil at 30°C for 1 hour.
[0043] After the addition is complete, continue the reaction at 60°C until the reaction is complete. The reaction is considered complete when the characteristic peak of silazane in the gas chromatograph completely disappears. Ammonia absorption is maintained during the reaction.
[0044] After the reaction is complete, maintain the vacuum of the water pump at 0.1 MPa and continue adsorption for 30 minutes to remove all ammonia.
[0045] After ammonia removal, switch the oil pump and perform de-boiling treatment at 160℃ and 100KPa vacuum. The endpoint of de-boiling is when there is no obvious bubbling on the liquid surface of the system and the gauge pressure fluctuates within 0.02KPa.
[0046] After the low-boiling point is removed, the temperature is allowed to drop naturally to below 50°C, and the material is discharged to obtain single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0047] The molecular structural formula of hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is as follows:
[0048] In this context, 2≤n≤10 indicates that in actual industrial production, the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil system contains molecules with various chain lengths, and there is no pure substance with a single molecular chain length. However, the higher the degree of polymerization of the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, the lower the hydroxyl content, and the worse the effect of treating silica. Through experiments, controlling 2≤n≤10 can better meet industrial needs. The viscosity range corresponding to this chain length of hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is 120~140 / mPa·s. The hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil used in the embodiments of this application is produced by the applicant's own company (Shenzhen Guanheng New Material Technology Co., Ltd.), batch number 22-FY-25, with a viscosity of 130 / mPa·s and a refractive index of 1.3765.
[0049] The molecular structural formula of silazane is:
[0050] That is, hexamethyldisilazane.
[0051] The molecular structural formula of the obtained single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil is as follows:
[0052] Where 2≤n≤10.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] The difference from Example 1 is that silazane was added dropwise to hydroxy fluorosilicone oil at 40°C, and after the addition was complete, the reaction was continued at 40°C until the reaction was complete.
[0055] Example 3
[0056] The difference from Example 1 is that silazane was added dropwise to hydroxy fluorosilicone oil at 30°C, and after the addition was complete, the reaction was continued at 60°C until the reaction was complete.
[0057] Example 4
[0058] Weigh 2 mol of hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil and add it to a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer and a stir bar. Dehydrate the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil under reduced pressure at 50°C and a vacuum of 100 kPa for 1 hour.
[0059] After dehydration under reduced pressure, connect the four-necked flask to the ammonia absorption bottle, control the vacuum of the water pump to 0.01 MPa, and add 1 mol of silazane to the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil at 30°C over a period of 2 hours.
[0060] After the addition is complete, continue the reaction at 60°C for 2 hours until the reaction is complete. The reaction is considered complete when the characteristic peak of silazane in the gas chromatograph completely disappears.
[0061] After the reaction is complete, adjust the vacuum of the water pump to 0.1 MPa and continue adsorption for 30 minutes to remove the ammonia gas.
[0062] After ammonia removal, switch the oil pump and perform de-boiling treatment at 160℃ and 100KPa vacuum. The endpoint of de-boiling is when there is no obvious bubbling on the liquid surface of the system and the gauge pressure fluctuates within 0.02KPa.
[0063] After the low-boiling point is removed, the temperature is allowed to drop naturally to below 50°C, and the material is discharged to obtain single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0064] The molecular structural formula of hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is as follows:
[0065] The hydroxy fluorosilicone oil used in Example 4 was from the same batch as that used in Example 1.
[0066] The molecular structural formula of silazane is:
[0067] That is, tetramethyldivinyldisilazane.
[0068] The molecular structural formula of the obtained single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil is as follows:
[0069] Where 2≤n≤10.
[0070] Example 5
[0071] The difference from Example 4 is that silazane was added dropwise to hydroxy fluorosilicone oil at 40°C, and after the addition was complete, the reaction was continued at 40°C until the reaction was complete.
[0072] Example 6
[0073] The difference from Example 4 is that silazane was added dropwise to hydroxy fluorosilicone oil at 30°C, and after the addition was complete, the reaction was continued at 60°C until the reaction was complete.
[0074] The refractive index, viscosity and yield of the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oils prepared in Examples 1 to 6 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0075] Refractive index: The test method refers to the rotation method in GB / T 10247-1988.
[0076] Viscosity: The test method is in accordance with GB / T 6408-2008.
[0077] Yield: M1 is the weight of the four-necked flask, M2 is the weight of the hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, M3 is the weight of the silazane, and M4 is the total weight of the remaining reaction products and the four-necked flask after the system has undergone de-boiling treatment.
[0078] Table 1: Physical properties of the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oils prepared in Examples 1-6
[0079] refractive index Viscosity / mPa·s Yield / % Example 1 1.3796 45 83.6 Example 2 1.3796 42 83.8 Example 3 1.3795 40 84.9 Example 4 1.3809 47 85.6 Example 5 1.3810 45 86.6 Example 6 1.3809 47 87.6
[0080] The experiment found that silazane and hydroxyfluorosilicone oil can both undergo alcoholysis at 30-60℃, and the higher the reaction temperature, the faster the reaction rate (judged by the disappearance time of the characteristic peak of silazane in gas chromatography).
[0081] Combining the data from Examples 1-6 and Table 1, it can be seen that the physical properties of the final products obtained at different reaction temperatures are not significantly different. The viscosity of the products is significantly lower than that of hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil. This is partly because the hydroxyl content in the products is lower than that in hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, which reduces the hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups and thus lowers the viscosity. On the other hand, the trifluoropropyl content in the products is lower than that in hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil, which weakens the polymerization inhibition effect of the groups and causes a decrease in viscosity.
[0082] The refractive index of hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil is approximately 1.3765, while the refractive indices of the prepared single-terminated hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oils are all greater than 1.3765.

Furthermore, when the introduced group is vinyl, the refractive index of the product is greater than that of the product obtained when the introduced group is methyl.
[0084] Application Examples: The single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oils prepared in Examples 1-6 were used as structure control agents in fluorosilicone rubber experiments. The formulation of the fluorosilicone rubber by weight is as follows:
[0085] Fluorosilicone raw rubber: 100 parts;
[0086] Silica: 35-45 parts;
[0087] Structure control agent: 10-15 parts;
[0088] Vulcanizing agent: 0.5–1.2 parts;
[0089] Heat resistant agent: 0.5–5 parts;
[0090] The fluorosilicone raw rubber has a molecular weight of 500,000 to 1,000,000 and a vinyl content of 0.05% to 1.2%.

It is then passed through a two-roll mill eight times for re-mixing. After re-mixing, it is vulcanized at 175°C for 15 minutes using a flat vulcanizing machine to obtain fluorosilicone rubber.

[0117]
[0118] As can be seen from the data in Tables 2-4, the fluorosilicone rubber prepared by using the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil of this application as a structure control agent has excellent mechanical properties and oil resistance. This indicates that the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil of this application has excellent anti-structural properties when used as a structure control agent for fluorosilicone rubber, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical properties, aging resistance and oil resistance of fluorosilicone rubber.
[0119] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, compared with the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil prepared by hexamethyldisilazane, the single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil prepared by tetramethyldivinyldisilazane as a structure control agent will increase the hardness of fluorosilicone rubber. This is because the system contains vinyl groups, which have high activity and will also undergo cross-linking reaction during the vulcanization process of fluorosilicone rubber, resulting in a higher cross-linking density of the fluorosilicone rubber system, which in turn causes the hardness of fluorosilicone rubber to increase. As the hardness increases, the elongation will decrease.
[0120] As can be seen from the data in Tables 3 and 4, when the single-terminated hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil of this application is used as a structural control agent for fluorosilicone rubber, it exhibits excellent aging resistance and oil resistance. After the aging resistance test, the fluorosilicone rubber can still maintain good hardness, tensile strength and elongation. After the oil resistance test, it also has good hardness, excellent tensile strength change rate and volume change rate, with tensile strength reduction not exceeding 50% and volume change rate not exceeding 20%.
[0121] The single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil obtained in this application contains active hydroxyl groups in its molecular structure, which can preferentially react with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica, thereby achieving an anti-structural effect. In contrast, when conventional double-terminated hydroxyl-terminated silicone oil is used as a structural control agent, the reaction between the double-terminated hydroxyl-terminated silicone oil and silica during the processing of fluorosilicone rubber easily forms small-scale agglomerates, resulting in uneven dispersion of the filler and thus affecting the mechanical properties and oil resistance of fluorosilicone rubber. The single-hydroxyl-terminated fluorosilicone oil obtained in this application reduces the gelation phenomenon during rubber processing, which is more conducive to the dispersion of silica filler, thereby improving the mechanical properties and oil resistance of fluorosilicone rubber.
[0122] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
