Abstract

The application belongs to the field of polymer synthesis and particularly relates to a sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material and a preparation method thereof. The sulfur-containing polymer is prepared by an anionic hybrid copolymerization reaction of elemental sulfur and bismaleimide as raw materials in a one-step method, and then the sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material is formed. The method does not need to use a catalyst, the reaction condition is mild, the raw material is low in price, and the material production cycle is relatively short. A large amount of sulfur elements in the product can rapidly undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction in a combustion process to generate an oxidized sulfur protective layer and an incombustible gas, thereby providing excellent flame-retardant performance for the material. Meanwhile, the S-S chain segment which is good in flexibility improves the processing performance of the material and greatly reduces the production cycle. The formed material has a T0 level of flame-retardant performance, no melt dripping in the combustion process, and a secondary ignition self-extinguishing time within 4s.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of polymer synthesis, and particularly relates to a sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bismaleimide (BMI) is a typical thermosetting resin, which has a wide application in the field of organic chemical synthesis and material preparation due to its high reactivity and diverse reaction forms. The monomer can be homopolymerized at 180 DEG C to form a three-dimensional network, which has excellent high-temperature resistance, low-temperature resistance and radiation resistance, and is widely used in the fields of machinery, electronics and aerospace due to its outstanding dimensional stability and mechanical properties.

[0003] According to the structure of the BMI monomer, there are still problems of flammability and poor fire safety. Meanwhile, the high crosslinking density and strong polar carbonyl group of the BMI material make the material itself extremely brittle. At present, the modification of the BMI material can be generally divided into two types: intrinsic flame retardant and non-intrinsic flame retardant. The non-intrinsic flame retardant usually adds flame-retardant small molecules such as aluminum phosphate, cage polysilsesquioxane, two-dimensional sheet graphene and inorganic boron nitride hybrid to the BMI system to increase the flame-retardant performance; the intrinsic flame-retardant material is covalently bonded to the flame-retardant molecule and the BMI monomer, such as amino or allyl modified phosphate, isocyanurate, silsesquioxane, etc. The intrinsic flame-retardant material system has a low phase separation phenomenon and can provide better flame-retardant effect.

[0004] Although the existing methods can introduce various kinds of flame-retardant factors into the polymer, these methods have defects to some extent. For example, the halogen-containing BMI flame-retardant material will cause leakage pollution; the phosphorus-containing and nitrogen-containing BMI flame-retardant material has a low smoke generation rate, but the synthesis cost of the monomer is high. Meanwhile, the molding temperature of the traditional modified BMI material is generally high, the curing time is long, and the production cost is high. Therefore, it is always a key and difficulty to find a new intrinsic BMI material with low raw material price, simple process and short production cycle. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the defects existing in the synthesis path of the existing BMI material, the present application proposes to synthesize a sulfur-rich polymer by using elemental sulfur and bismaleimide monomer under mild reaction conditions by adopting an anion hybrid copolymerization method. The sulfur-rich polymer synthesized by the present application has the characteristics of mild reaction conditions, simple processing and excellent flame-retardant effect.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application realizes the following technical scheme:

[0007] The application relates to a preparation method of a sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material.

[0008] Further, the copolymerization reaction environment is a dry environment protected by inert gas, the reaction temperature is 0-70 DEG C, and the reaction time is 3-24 h.

[0009] The feeding mass ratio of the synthesized sulfur-rich polymer monomer is 50-80 wt% of bismaleimide monomer and 20-50 wt% of elemental sulfur, and the material is formed through hot pressing.

[0010] The bismaleimide is 4,4'-bismaleimide diphenyl methane (BMI), bismaleimide polyethylene glycol (Bis-Mal-PEG1) or diphenyl methane bismaleimide (BMIDM).

[0011] The solvent is one of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), and the feeding amount is consistent with the mass of the monomer.

[0012] The hot pressing temperature is 130 DEG C, the hot pressing time is 30 min, and the pressure is 10 MPa.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] In the application, the raw material elemental sulfur S8 is a natural product, is environment-friendly and harmless, and is low in price.

[0015] The preparation method of the sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material provided by the application is a one-step synthesis, and no catalyst is required in the reaction.

[0016] The preparation method of the sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material provided by the application has relatively mild polymerization reaction conditions, and the polymerization can be carried out under a reaction condition of less than 70 DEG C.

[0017] In the product of the preparation method of the sulfur-containing intrinsic flame-retardant bismaleimide material provided by the application, a large amount of sulfur elements can rapidly undergo oxidation-reduction reaction in a combustion process to generate a sulfur oxide protective layer and non-combustible gas, thereby providing excellent flame-retardant performance for the material; meanwhile, the S-S chain segment with good flexibility improves the processing performance of the material, and greatly reduces the production cycle.
