[0040] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar components have the same or similar designations throughout, and in which: the embodiments described below are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present application, and are not to be understood as limiting the present application.

[0041] According to a first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a method for preparing an aqueous polyurethane emulsion, comprising:

[0042] mixing an oligomer polyol, a first isocyanate, a first chain extender, a second chain extender and water to obtain an aqueous polyurethane emulsion;

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the method comprises the following steps:

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the method comprises the following steps: Figure 1 In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the method comprises the following steps:

[0045] S100: mixing the oligomer polyol and the first isocyanate to obtain a prepolymer.

[0046] In this step, the oligomer polyol and the first isocyanate are allowed to undergo an addition reaction by the first mixing to obtain a prepolymer.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first mixing is performed at a temperature of 40-80°C and under stirring. Specifically, after the oligomer polyol and the first isocyanate are mixed uniformly, the reaction is performed at the above-mentioned temperature, and the isocyanate content in the reaction system is tracked and determined by chemical titration during the reaction. When the isocyanate content reaches the theoretical value, the temperature of the reaction system is lowered to 20-60°C, and acetone is added to adjust the viscosity of the system to obtain the prepolymer.

[0048] In some embodiments, before the first mixing is performed, the method further comprises: pretreating the oligomer polyol to remove small molecules such as water that can exist therein, so as to avoid solidification reaction of water with polyurethane raw materials and affect the stability of the emulsion. The method of pretreatment can comprise: distillation under reduced pressure at a temperature of 100-130°C for 1-3h, with the reduced pressure controlled to be not greater than -0.08MPa, so that the mass content of water in the system is controlled to be below 0.1%, such as 0.05%-0.1%.

[0049] In some embodiments, the oligomer polyol is a polyester polyol. In other embodiments, the oligomer polyol is a polyester polyol and a polyether polyol.

[0050] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the polyester polyol to the polyether polyol in the oligomer polyol is 1:(0-0.4). Preferably, the mass ratio of the polyester polyol to the polyether polyol is 1:(0.01-0.4). By introducing a small amount of polyether polyol, the solid content of the waterborne polyurethane emulsion can be increased, thereby reducing the storage space and transportation cost of the emulsion, and enabling the polyurethane adhesive layer to have both high elongation at break and tensile strength.

[0051] In some embodiments, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the polyester polyol is 500-10000, such as 500, 650, 850, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 8000 and 10000, etc. In this way, the molecular weight of the polyurethane is controlled, and the emulsification effect of the polyurethane is improved. The polyester polyol can be obtained by methods well known in the art, or can be obtained by commercial purchase, such as various polyester polyols available from Huada Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0052] In some embodiments, the polyether polyol has a weight average molecular weight of 90-2000, such as 90, 100, 250, 650, 1000, 2000, etc. In this way, the solubility of the prepolymer in the solvent can be improved, and the subsequent chain extension reaction can be facilitated, the emulsification effect can be improved, and the adhesion can be improved by controlling the ether bond within an appropriate range.

[0053] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the oligomer polyol to the first isocyanate is (0.2-2) : 1. When the oligomer polyol and the first isocyanate are within the foregoing range, the adhesive strength of the polyurethane prepolymer obtained is greater, and the elongation at break of the adhesive layer is higher.

[0054] Optionally, the polyester polyol includes at least one of polybutylene adipate glycol (PBA), polyhexylene adipate glycol (PHA), polycaprolactone glycol (PCL), and polycarbonate glycol (PCD).

[0055] Optionally, the polyether polyol includes at least one of polytetrahydrofuran ether glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol.

[0056] Optionally, the first isocyanate includes at least one of hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate, and xylylene diisocyanate.

[0057] In some preferred embodiments, the first isocyanate is a combination of hexamethylene diisocyanate and isophorone diisocyanate, and the molar ratio of hexamethylene diisocyanate to isophorone diisocyanate is 90:10 to 70:30. Since hexamethylene diisocyanate has a symmetrical and regular structure, a large proportion thereof is conducive to the rapid crystallization of the waterborne polyurethane, so that the adhesive strength obtained is large; isophorone diisocyanate has a small contribution to the crystallization of the waterborne polyurethane, but due to the large difference in activity of the two isocyanate groups, only one isocyanate group is usually involved in the reaction, which can be used as a blocking agent, and the remaining isocyanate group reacts with the highly active amino group in the post-emulsification stage to further extend the chain, so that the molecular weight of the waterborne polyurethane is further increased. In this way, a polyurethane prepolymer with a high molecular weight can be obtained.

[0058] S200: second mixing of the prepolymer and the first chain extender. Through the second mixing, the prepolymer and the first chain extender are reacted to further increase the molecular weight of the polyurethane.

[0059] According to the embodiment of the present application, the second mixing comprises: adding the first chain extender into the prepolymer obtained in step S100 dropwise under high-speed stirring, for example, for 10-30 min, and then continuing the high-speed stirring for 20-60 min. The high-speed stirring speed is for example 1500-5000 rpm.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the first chain extender to the prepolymer is 1:(7-40). Here, the mass of the prepolymer is determined according to the total amount of the reactants (isocyanate and polyol).

[0061] In the present application, the first chain extender comprises at least one of polyacrylate carboxylate, polyacrylate sulfonate and polyacrylate carboxylate / sulfonate. Here, the polyacrylate carboxylate / sulfonate refers to polyacrylate having both carboxylate and sulfonate groups in the molecular chain.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first chain extender further has hydroxyl and / or amide groups.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first chain extender has a weight average molecular weight of 500-5000, for example, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500 and 5000, etc.; a hydroxyl value of 15-77 mgKOH / g, for example, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 77 mgKOH / g, etc.; a content of carboxylate groups or / and sulfonate groups of 0.1-2 mmol / g, for example, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mmol / g, etc.; and a content of amide groups of 0.1-1 mmol / g, for example, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 mmol / g, etc. Under the above conditions, the first chain extender can be uniformly and effectively mixed with the prepolymer obtained in step S100 to perform chain extension, to obtain acrylate-modified polyurethane, and to increase the molecular weight of the final obtained waterborne polyurethane.

[0064] In the present application, the "content of carboxylate groups or / and sulfonate groups" refers to the total content of carboxylate groups and sulfonate groups on the first chain extender, and is selected according to the specific type of the first chain extender. For example, when the first chain extender is a polyacrylate carboxylate, the "content of carboxylate groups or / and sulfonate groups" refers to the content of carboxylate groups; when the first chain extender is a polyacrylate sulfonate, the "content of carboxylate groups or / and sulfonate groups" refers to the content of sulfonate groups; when the first chain extender is a combination of a polyacrylate carboxylate and a polyacrylate sulfonate or a polyacrylate carboxylate / sulfonate, the "content of carboxylate groups or / and sulfonate groups" refers to the total content of carboxylate groups and sulfonate groups.

[0065] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the first chain extender described above comprises mixing an initiator, an acrylic monomer, an acrylate monomer, a first monomer (a hydroxy acrylate monomer and / or an acrylamide monomer), a second monomer (at least one of sodium acrylsulfonate and sodium acrylate) with a solvent, performing a free radical polymerization reaction, and removing the solvent under reduced pressure after the polymerization reaction is completed. The weight ratio of the acrylic monomer, the acrylate monomer, the first monomer, and the second monomer is (0.3-20):(0.1-21):(0.5-13):1.

[0066] The temperature of the free radical polymerization reaction can be 60-80°C, and the reaction time can be 2-4h.

[0067] As an example, the acrylic monomer can be selected from one or more of monomers having a carbon atom number of 3-8. Alternatively, the acrylic monomer includes acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid.

[0068] As an example, the acrylate monomer can be selected from one or more of monomers having a carbon atom number of 4-12. Alternatively, the acrylate monomer includes at least one of methyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, and isooctyl acrylate.

[0069] As an example, the hydroxy acrylate monomer can be selected from one or more of monomers having a carbon atom number of 5-12. Alternatively, the hydroxy acrylate monomer includes at least one of hydroxy ethyl acrylate, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate, hydroxy propyl acrylate, hydroxy propyl methacrylate, hydroxy butyl acrylate, and hydroxy butyl methacrylate.

[0070] As an example, the acrylamide monomer can be selected from one or more of monomers having a carbon atom number of 3-6. Alternatively, the acrylamide monomer includes acrylamide and / or methacrylamide.

[0071] In the present application, the initiator can be various free radical initiators that initiate polymerization of the above monomers. In some embodiments, the initiator includes dibenzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisoheptyl nitrile, cyclohexanone peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, hydrogen peroxide, persulfate, dimethyl azobis isobutyrate, azobis isobutyl amide hydrochloride, 2,2 , - at least one of azobis (2-methyl-4-carboxybutyronitrile) and 2,2 , - at least one of azobis (2-methyl-4-carboxybutyronitrile) and 2,2

[0072] S300: The product obtained in step S200 is mixed with a second chain extender for a third time. As a result, the second chain extender further extends the chain, so that the molecular weight of the waterborne polyurethane is further increased.

[0073] In this step, the product obtained in step S200 can be post-extended by adding a second chain extender under stirring. In some embodiments, the second chain extender includes at least one of a diamine and an alcohol amine. The diamine is, for example, ethylenediamine, and the alcohol amine is, for example, ethanol amine. The mass amount of the second chain extender can be 0.5% to 5% relative to the total amount of reactants. Here, the total amount of reactants is determined based on the total amount of reactants (oligomer polyol, first isocyanate, first chain extender, second chain extender, and water).

[0074] In this step, the temperature of the third mixing (i.e., the chain extension reaction) can be 20°C to 40°C, and the time can be 10 min to 50 min.

[0075] S400: The product obtained in step S300 is mixed with water for a fourth time. The polyurethane is dispersed at high speed by adding water (e.g., dropwise) as an emulsifying agent, so that emulsification is achieved. Through the emulsification, a waterborne polyurethane emulsion with a solid content of 40% to 75% can be obtained.

[0076] In some embodiments, the method can further include removing the acetone under reduced pressure. The acetone evaporated under reduced pressure can be recycled.

[0077] According to a second aspect of the present application, the present application provides a waterborne polyurethane emulsion prepared by the method.

[0078] In some embodiments, the waterborne polyurethane emulsion has a solid content of 50% to 75% and an average particle size of 100 nm to 150 nm.

[0079] The waterborne polyurethane emulsion also has high stability, such as no delamination after being placed at room temperature for a long time (e.g., ≥ 180 days or more).

[0080] According to a third aspect of the present application, there is provided a two-component polyurethane adhesive comprising a component A and a component B, wherein the component A comprises the waterborne polyurethane emulsion according to the second aspect of the present application, and the component B comprises a second isocyanate.

[0081] According to the present application, the component A can further comprise additives, which can be selected according to existing two-component polyurethane adhesives. In some embodiments, the additives comprise at least one of a thickening agent, a defoaming agent, and a leveling agent. The additives are typically waterborne materials.

[0082] Further, in the component A, the mass content of the waterborne polyurethane emulsion is 70-90 parts per 100 parts of the total weight of the component A.

[0086] In some embodiments, the two-component polyurethane adhesive is prepared by separately preparing the component A comprising the waterborne polyurethane emulsion and the component B comprising the second isocyanate to obtain the two-component polyurethane adhesive.

[0087] In other embodiments, the two-component polyurethane adhesive is prepared by separately preparing the component A comprising the waterborne polyurethane emulsion and the component B comprising the second isocyanate; and then, as shown in S500, mixing the component A comprising the waterborne polyurethane emulsion and the component B comprising the second isocyanate to obtain the two-component polyurethane adhesive. The mixing can be performed at room temperature. Figure 2

[0088] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the component A to the component B is (10-20) : 1. Thus, after mixing the component A and the component B, the two-component polyurethane adhesive can be prepared.
