Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of epoxy-acrylate composite materials, in particular to a bio-based carbon quantum dot modified g-C3N4 epoxy-acrylate composite emulsion and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Epoxy-acrylate (EP-acrylate) emulsions combine the advantages of both epoxy and acrylate resins and are currently a research hotspot for waterborne epoxy coatings. However, due to the polymerization inertness of epoxy resins, it is difficult to prepare EP-acrylate emulsions with high epoxy resin content under emulsion polymerization conditions, which greatly restricts their practical application in the field of anti-corrosion coatings.

[0003] Combining functional particles with excellent barrier properties with organic polymers that exhibit superior film-forming properties has become an effective approach to improving the overall performance of existing coatings. In recent years, research has focused on incorporating nano-zinc oxide, nano-titanium dioxide, carbon nanotubes, and graphene into various polymer composite coatings. Graphene coatings, due to their advantages such as thin coating thickness, light film weight, and electrical conductivity, have become a focus of research and development worldwide. However, further research has shown that only a complete graphene layer can block corrosion factors, while defects in the graphene film can even trap chloride ions, accelerating corrosion, thus limiting their practical application.

[0004] Barrier properties and bonding strength are crucial for corrosion resistance and longevity. Carbon-based hybrid materials offer excellent stability, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. For example, graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a lamellar carbon-based material with excellent physical barrier properties, preventing the penetration of H2O, O2, and electrolytes. The presence of nitrogen atoms in g-C3N4 reduces its electrical conductivity and thus its galvanic corrosion with the metal substrate. Adding g-C3N4 as a modifier to organic polymers to prepare polymer composite coatings can, on the one hand, address or prevent the common failure of coatings caused by wear defects; on the other hand, it can protect the substrate by blocking corrosion from corrosive agents such as water, oxygen, and chloride ions. However, g-C3N4 has poor compatibility with organic polymers, and directly adding g-C3N4 to epoxy-acrylate emulsions easily leads to aggregation, rendering it ineffective.

[0005] Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are a new type of nanomaterial. Due to their large number of hydrophilic groups, they have good water solubility and dispersibility, and have the advantage of a simple preparation process. The biomass used to prepare carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is easy to obtain from multiple sources and has minimal environmental pollution. Therefore, compounding biomass carbon quantum dots with g-C3N4 and then adding them to epoxy-acrylate can not only improve the dispersibility of g-C3N4 in the emulsion, but also maximize the shielding properties of the carbon-based hybrid material, providing a new technical solution to address the performance defects of epoxy-acrylate composites. Summary of the Invention

The composite emulsion has the advantages of high epoxy resin content, good dispersion stability of g-C3N4 in the emulsion, good anti-corrosion performance, strong environmental protection and simple preparation process.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] 1. Through miniemulsion polymerization, epoxy resin is hybridized in acrylate emulsion polymerization to increase the epoxy resin content in the epoxy-acrylate emulsion. The process is simple and easy to operate. The epoxy part of this hybrid emulsion can react with the water-based amine curing agent during film formation to form the continuous phase of the coating.

[0037] 2. The modification of g-C3N4 by bio-based carbon quantum dots improves the dispersibility of g-C3N4 in epoxy-acrylate emulsion (such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown in the figure, after modification with carbon quantum dots, the agglomeration of g-C3N4 was significantly weakened, the average particle size of g-C3N4 was reduced from 3375nm to 125nm, the polydispersity was also reduced, and it could be evenly dispersed in the emulsion), thus enhancing the interfacial interaction between the carbon material and the polymer;

[0038] 3. The modified g-C3N4 is uniformly dispersed in the epoxy cross-linked network, maximizing the high shielding properties of the carbon material, enhancing the wear resistance of the coating, and at the same time blocking corrosion factors such as water, oxygen and chloride ions to protect the substrate; Tables 2 and 3 show the water resistance and alkali resistance test results of different emulsion films. It can be seen that the water resistance and alkali resistance of the composite coating of g-C3N4 and epoxy-acrylate are significantly improved after modification with bio-based carbon quantum dots.

[0039] 4. After compounding biomass carbon quantum dots with g-C3N4 and adding them to epoxy-acrylate, it can not only improve the dispersibility of g-C3N4 in the emulsion, but also maximize the shielding performance of carbon-based hybrid materials. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0051] Example 1

[0052] The preparation method of epoxy-acrylate emulsion comprises the following steps:

[0053] (1) In a four-necked flask, 90 g of epoxy resin, 75 g of methyl methacrylate, 12.5 g of butyl acrylate, and 2.5 g of methacrylic acid were weighed, heated to 55° C., and stirred to obtain a base material;

[0054] (2) Weigh 0.75 g of modified polyoxyolefin DLS500, 4 g of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether ammonium sulfate, 2 g of sodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate, and 225 g of deionized water, and stir them evenly to obtain an emulsifier solution; after stirring the emulsifier solution evenly, add it dropwise to the above-mentioned base material, and stir at 55° C. and 1600 r / min for 30 min to obtain an E-44 monomer miniemulsion;

[0057] (5) After the first kettle material is heated to 80° C., the first mixed monomer in step (4) is uniformly added dropwise within 4 hours, and at the same time, an initiator solution prepared by 1 g of ammonium persulfate, 1.36 g of CO-436, 1 g of OP-10 and 66 g of deionized water is added dropwise within 4.5 hours; after the initiator solution is added dropwise, the mixture is kept warm for 16 minutes, and then the temperature is raised to 85° C. and kept warm for 12 minutes, and the epoxy-acrylate emulsion is obtained by discharging the material.

[0058] Comparison sample 2

[0059] Comparative Sample 2 was prepared by adding the kettle material according to the recipe in Table 2 below to a four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, condenser, thermometer, and constant pressure funnel. The mixture was rapidly stirred in an 80°C water bath until the bottom temperature reached 80°C. The initial initiator was then added, and the temperature returned to 80°C. The seed monomer was then added dropwise to the bottom over 16 minutes. After a 10-minute incubation, the core monomer and core initiator were added dropwise simultaneously. After 4-4.5 hours, the incubation was continued for 15 minutes. The shell monomer and shell initiator were then added dropwise simultaneously over 2-2.5 hours. The mixture was then incubated for 30 minutes before being discharged.

[0060] Regardless of whether the epoxy resin is in the core layer and the methacrylic acid is in the shell layer, or the methacrylic acid is in the core layer and the epoxy resin is in the shell layer, when the epoxy resin content exceeds 8% (of the total monomer content), the gel content of the composite emulsion is as high as 2% (of the total emulsion content).

[0062]

[0063] Comparison sample 3

[0064] Comparative sample 3 was placed in a four-necked flask with an agitator, a condenser, a thermometer and a constant pressure funnel. A certain amount of kettle material was added according to the formula in Table 3 below, and the mixture was rapidly stirred in a water bath at 80°C until the bottom material temperature rose to 80°C. The initial initiator was added and the temperature returned to 80°C; the seed monomer was added dropwise to the bottom material within 18 minutes; after keeping warm for 10 minutes, the core monomer and initiator were started to be added dropwise at the same time, and the dripping was completed in about 3 hours, and the mixture was kept warm for 30 minutes; the transition monomer and the remaining initiator were started to be added dropwise at the same time, and the dripping was completed in 30 minutes, and the mixture was kept warm for 10 minutes; the shell monomer and initiator were started to be added dropwise at the same time, and the dripping was completed in 2 hours, and the mixture was kept warm for 30 minutes before discharging; when the modified epoxy resin content was as high as 12% (of the total solids), the gel content of the composite emulsion was 3% (of the total emulsion amount).

[0065] Table 3 is the formula table of comparative sample 3

[0066]

[0067] The particle size and stability of the epoxy-acrylate emulsion prepared above were tested, and the results were as follows Figure 1 As shown in Table 1 below, Figure 1 Curve 1 is an E-44 content of 15% with an average particle size of 72.91 nm; Curve 2 is an E-44 content of 25% with an average particle size of 127.38 nm; Curve 3 is an E-44 content of 20% with an average particle size of 89.35 nm.

[0069]

[0070]

[0071] From the above charts and comparative tests, it can be seen that the miniemulsion hybrid polymerization method greatly increases the epoxy resin content but does not affect the latex particle size and stability.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] The preparation method of bio-based carbon quantum dot modified C3N4, the steps are as follows:

[0074] (1) Weigh 1 g of camellia pollen, add 0.8 mL of ethylenediamine, and then add 10 mL of deionized water. After stirring evenly, microwave it in a microwave oven at 800 W for 7 minutes. After the microwave is finished, the brown-red solid is dissolved in 20 mL of deionized water and centrifuged at 8500 r / min for 7 minutes. The filtrate obtained after filtration is the bio-based carbon quantum dot solution. Its structure is detected by infrared spectroscopy, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown;

[0075] (2) Weigh 10 g of melamine (C3H6N6) and calcine it in a muffle furnace at 520°C for 4 hours at a heating rate of 12°C / min. After cooling, a large piece of light yellow solid was obtained, which was crushed to obtain g-C3N4. The structure of the solid was detected by XRD, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the product is g-C3N4.

[0076] (3) Take 20mL of N-CQDs aqueous dispersion, add 0.05g of prepared g-C3N4, and then ultrasonicate it at 300W for 2h and stir it at room temperature for 24h; then filter the dispersion through a nylon membrane under continuous stirring, and transfer it into a beaker to obtain a carbon quantum dot modified g-C3N4 dispersion. The dispersion stability was tested, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that after modification with carbon quantum dots, the agglomeration of g-C3N4 is significantly weakened, the dispersion in water is improved, the particle size is greatly reduced, and the polydispersity is also reduced.

[0077] The preparation method of bio-based carbon quantum dot modified g-C3N4 epoxy-acrylate composite emulsion includes the following steps: mixing 11 parts of the carbon quantum dot modified g-C3N4 dispersion prepared above with 110 parts of epoxy-acrylate emulsion, and stirring evenly to obtain the bio-based carbon quantum dot modified g-C3N4 epoxy-acrylate composite emulsion.

[0078] The film formation and corrosion resistance of the film were tested. Figure 5 As shown in Tables 4 and 5 (the mass ratio of carbon quantum dot-modified g-C3N4 to epoxy-acrylate emulsion is 1:10), it can be seen that the agglomeration of g-C3N4 is significantly reduced after modification with carbon quantum dots, and it is well dispersed in the emulsion. The water resistance and alkali resistance of the composite coating are also improved.

[0079] Figure 2 This is the infrared spectrum of bio-based carbon quantum dots prepared by microwave method. NH stretching vibration peaks appear between 3750 and 3600 cm-1, free OH stretching vibration peaks appear at 3648.23 cm-1, CH stretching vibration peaks on unsaturated carbon and symmetric CH2 stretching vibration peaks appear at 3294.42 cm-1 and 2927.03 cm-1, C=O and C=C stretching vibration peaks appear between 1750 and 1500 cm-1, -C=N stretching vibration peak appears at 1455.2 cm-1, and CN stretching vibration peak appears at 1066.1 cm-1. The inclusion of NH stretching vibration in the microwave infrared spectrum indicates that ethylenediamine not only acts as a passivating agent in the microwave method but also adds more nitrogen to the system.

[0080] Figure 3 This is the XRD spectrum of graphite phase carbon nitride particles. There are two obvious peaks in the spectrum, 13.0° and 27.4°, which are consistent with the standard spectrum of g-C3N4. Figure 1 To.

[0081] Figure 4 The DLS images of g-C3N4 dispersion in water before and after modification show that after modification with carbon quantum dots, the agglomeration of g-C3N4 is significantly reduced, the dispersion in water is improved, the particle size is greatly reduced, and the polydispersity is also reduced.

[0082] Figure 5 The figure shows the film formation of g-C3N4 mixed with epoxy-acrylate emulsion before and after modification with bio-based carbon quantum dots (the left side is after modification, and the right side is unmodified). It can be seen that after modification with bio-based carbon quantum dots, g-C3N4 is well dispersed in the epoxy-acrylate emulsion, while there is obvious agglomeration before modification.

[0083] Tables 4 and 5 below show the water and alkali resistance test results of g-C3N4 and epoxy-acrylate composite emulsion films, both pure and before and after modification with bio-based carbon quantum dots. As can be seen, the water and alkali resistance of the g-C3N4 and epoxy-acrylate composite coatings were significantly improved after modification with bio-based carbon quantum dots.
