Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of preparing fluororubber artificial latex, and specifically relates to a composition for preparing fluororubber latex, a fluororubber latex and a preparation method. Background Art

[0002] Latex is a general term for colloidal emulsions in which polymer microparticles are dispersed in water; among them, fluororubber latex is a kind of latex, which is mainly used as a coating for metals, stones and plastic materials.

[0003] At present, fluororubber latex is mainly prepared by chemical synthesis methods such as emulsion polymerization or suspension polymerization. This preparation method requires the use of a large amount of small molecule monomers, and polymerization reactions are carried out under suitable temperature, stirring speed and initiator, and finally fluororubber emulsion is obtained.

[0004] Regarding the preparation of fluororubber latex by chemical synthesis methods, the inventor believes that the following technical problems exist:

[0005] 1. When preparing fluororubber latex by chemical synthesis methods, it has the disadvantages of having small molecule monomers and polymer residues, high technical difficulty, strict requirements for equipment and complex processes;

[0006] 2. Due to the high density of fluororubber and the large density difference with water, it is extremely easy to settle in the water phase, and the C-F bond is not easy to form an interaction with the lipophilic end of the surfactant. Therefore, the fluororubber emulsion prepared by dry rubber emulsification in the prior art has poor stability and is easy to stratify;

[0007] 3. Emulsifiers are often used in the preparation process of fluororubber latex; for example, in the patent with patent application number CN201510504112.5 and patent name "A nano-emulsion used as a fabric finishing agent and its inverse transition preparation method", an emulsifier is used in the preparation process of the nano-emulsion; the use of emulsifiers will not only cause harm to the environment, but also easily cause irritation to the human eyes, skin and respiratory system.

[0008] Therefore, how to solve the above technical problems, study a production technology for preparing fluororubber latex that is simple, green and efficient, and obtain a fluororubber latex product with good stability is an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current field.

[0009] The information disclosed in this background art section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information constitutes prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of the above technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a composition for preparing fluororubber latex, fluororubber latex and a preparation method to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0011] The core of the design concept of the present invention lies in:

[0012] 1. Pickering emulsion is a special emulsion, which is a stable emulsification system composed of tiny solid particles at the liquid interface. It is generally prepared by using solid particles to emulsify rubber latex.

[0013] 2. Cellulose nanocrystals are one-dimensional rod-shaped nanomaterials mainly extracted from natural fibers. They are rich in sources, renewable and degradable. Through research, it is found that cellulose nanocrystals are relatively suitable solid particle emulsifiers. They have amphiphilicity, with a diameter of 5nm - 20nm and a length of 200nm - 400nm. The high aspect ratio of the nanosize enables cellulose nanocrystals to irreversibly adsorb at the oil-water interface, wrapping the oil phase inside to form a dense monolayer interfacial layer.

[0014] 3. Sulfonic acid group or carboxyl group-containing cellulose nanocrystals can be prepared by sulfuric acid acidolysis method, Tempo oxidation method, ammonium persulfate method, potassium permanganate oxidation method, etc. The introduction of sulfonic acid group or carboxyl group can make the surface of cellulose nanocrystals carry negative charges, so that they are more easily dispersed and stabilized in water, thereby enhancing the stability of the emulsion.

[0015] 4. Further research finds that due to the strong interaction between cellulose nanocrystals themselves, they always tend to aggregate. The cellulose nanocrystals can be modified by hydrophobic modification through chemical methods to strengthen the interaction between cellulose nanocrystals and the matrix, prevent the collision and coalescence between adjacent droplets, and improve the emulsion stability.

[0016] 5. At the same time, combined with the cavity stabilization mechanism, one or more water-absorbing resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, casein and gelatin are added to the system to form a cavity effect. The cavity effect can inhibit the desorption of cellulose nanocrystal particles and prevent the cellulose nanocrystal particles from escaping from the circular latex interface. Once the cellulose nanocrystal particles escape, the cavity effect will press it back to the interface. The cavity effect plays an important role in forming a more stable particle layer at the air / water interface.

[0017] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0018] A composition for preparing fluororubber latex, comprising a fluorine-containing latex and an emulsifier with a mass ratio of 1 - 2.2:1.

[0019] The raw material composition of the emulsifier includes 5-8 parts by mass of cellulose nanocrystal suspension and 2.2-4.8 parts by mass of water-absorbing resin; among them, in the cellulose nanocrystal suspension, the cellulose nanocrystals carry sulfonic acid groups or carboxylic acid groups and are hydrophobically modified.

[0020] Preferably, in the cellulose nanocrystal suspension, the content of cellulose nanocrystals is 1 wt%-5 wt%, the particle size length is 200 nm-400 nm, and the diameter is 5 nm-20 nm.

[0021] A fluororubber latex is prepared from the composition for preparing fluororubber latex described above.

[0022] A method for preparing a fluororubber latex includes the following steps:

[0023] Prepare a fluorine-containing rubber solution;

[0024] Select cellulose nanocrystals with sulfonic acid groups or carboxylic acid groups for hydrophobic modification, and prepare a cellulose nanocrystal suspension;

[0025] Mix the prepared cellulose nanocrystal suspension with the water-absorbing resin to prepare an emulsifier;

[0026] Mix and emulsify the prepared fluorine-containing rubber solution and the emulsifier to prepare a crude latex;

[0027] Perform solvent removal treatment on the prepared crude latex to obtain a fluororubber latex.

[0028] Preferably, preparing the fluorine-containing rubber solution specifically includes:

[0029] Select a high molecular elastomer with fluorine atoms on the main chain or side chain carbon atoms for small piece cutting, and put the cut small pieces into a reaction kettle;

[0030] Add one or more of acetone, toluene and ethyl acetate mixed solution to the reaction kettle, and stir at room temperature to prepare a fluorine-containing rubber solution; specifically, the stirring time at room temperature is 6 h-8 h; the mass concentration of the fluorine-containing rubber solution is 20%-40%.

[0031] Preferably, preparing the cellulose nanocrystal suspension specifically includes:

[0032] Mix ethanol and deionized water with a volume ratio of 9:1 to prepare a mixed solution A;

[0033] Add glacial acetic acid to the mixed solution A for mixing to prepare a mixed solution B, and adjust the pH value range of the mixed solution B to 4-5;

[0034] One or more of modifiers KH550, KH560, and KH570 are added to the mixed solution B for mixing and ultrasonic treatment to prepare a hydrolysis solution; preferably, the dosage of the modifier is 6%-8% relative to the mass of the cellulose nanocrystal suspension.

[0035] The cellulose nanocrystals with sulfonic acid groups or carboxylic acid groups are added to the hydrolysis solution and stirred for modification in a water bath at 65°C - 80°C; and after 3.5 h - 5.5 h, it is transferred to a dialysis bag, soaked in distilled water, and the distilled water is changed every once in a while until the solution is neutral to obtain a cellulose nanocrystal suspension.

[0036] Due to the strong interaction between its own particles, cellulose nanocrystals always tend to aggregate; hydrophobic modification can strengthen the interaction between cellulose nanocrystals and the matrix, enhance its dispersion stability in hydrophobic solutions, and improve the emulsion stability.

[0037] Preferably, preparing an emulsifier by mixing the prepared cellulose nanocrystal suspension with a water-absorbing resin specifically includes:

[0038] Mix 5 - 8 parts of the cellulose nanocrystal suspension and 2.2 - 4.8 parts of the water-absorbing resin and stir to prepare an emulsifier.

[0039] Preferably, the content of cellulose nanocrystals in the cellulose nanocrystal suspension is 1 wt% - 5 wt%, the particle size length is 200 nm - 400 nm, and the diameter is 5 nm - 20 nm.

[0040] 1 wt% - 5 wt% is a suitable concentration of cellulose nanocrystals, and this concentration can ensure the smooth progress of the emulsification process; too low a concentration of cellulose nanocrystals will affect the stability of the emulsion, while too high a concentration will affect the emulsification effect.

[0041] Preferably, preparing a crude latex by mixing and emulsifying the prepared fluororubber latex and an emulsifier specifically includes:

[0042] Mix the fluororubber latex and the emulsifier in a mass ratio of 1 - 2.2:1, and use a high-speed shear mixer to stir the mixed solution for emulsification at a temperature of 23°C - 40°C to obtain a crude latex; specifically, the emulsification time is 8 min - 15 min.

[0043] Preferably, removing the solvent from the prepared crude latex to obtain a fluororubber latex specifically includes:

[0044] Transfer the crude latex to a rotary evaporation flask, and remove the solvent by reduced-pressure rotary evaporation; the initial temperature is 30°C - 60°C, the gauge pressure is 0.08 MPa - 0.1 MPa, and it is gradually heated to 70°C - 75°C. At this temperature, the organic solvent is slowly distilled out. When there is obvious stratification in the recovery flask, it proves that the solvent evaporation is completely finished, and the rotary evaporation is stopped to obtain a fluororubber emulsion.

[0045] The composition for preparing fluororubber latex provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] 1. The present invention uses cellulose nanocrystal suspension as an emulsifier, and hydrophobically modifies the cellulose nanocrystals, increasing the content of hydrophobic groups in the cellulose nanocrystals, adjusting the proportion of amphiphilic groups, and improving the emulsifying ability; and by adding one or more water-absorbing resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, casein, and gelatin, a cavitation effect is formed, further improving the stability of the fluororubber latex;

[0047] 2. The emulsion formulation of Pickering emulsion can directly use dry rubber solution to prepare fluororubber latex, with a simple process flow and relatively low requirements for equipment; it solves the technical problems such as the need for chemical reactions such as emulsion polymerization or suspension polymerization in the existing methods for preparing fluororubber emulsion, and the complex production process;

[0048] 3. The present invention abandons traditional externally added anionic emulsifiers, cationic emulsifiers, or nonionic emulsifiers, and uses hydrophobically modified cellulose nanocrystal suspension as an emulsifier for Pickering emulsion emulsification, greatly reducing the usage amount of chemical surfactants, reducing the difficulty of treating production wastewater, reducing energy consumption, reducing the degree of environmental pollution, and protecting the safety of workers;

[0049] 4. The process for preparing Pickering emulsion in the present invention greatly reduces the foaming of the latex in the emulsification stage, increases the actual emulsification quality, and reduces the standing defoaming time;

[0050] 5. The emulsification formulation of the fluororubber latex in the present invention is simple, the formulation mildness is improved, the obtained latex has good stability, and the latex particles still maintain a good dispersed state after standing for half a year, and the particle size distribution of the lower-layer latex changes little.
