Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a self-contained microporous material, specifically a high specific surface area polyurethane self-contained microporous material and its preparation method. It belongs to the technical field of functional polymer materials. Background Technology

[0002] Porous polymers (PIMs) are a newly emerging type of organic microporous material based on aromatic spirocyclic rings, showing broad application prospects in gas separation, hydrogen storage, and catalysis. PIMs are typically thermally stable amorphous glassy polymers containing a spirocenter (two rings sharing a single atom), exhibiting a non-planar, twisted, and rigid molecular structure. This prevents the polymer backbone from rotating freely, hindering effective chain stacking and forming a continuous microporous structure within the material. Due to the numerous vacancies and loose molecular structure within PIM membranes, they are widely recognized as the most promising materials for gas transport and separation membranes.

[0003] Currently, existing reports all describe the preparation of PIMs using functional monomers containing tortuous and rigid structures.

[0004] Budd PM et al. (Adv. Mater., 2004, Vol. 16, pp. 456-459) prepared the first self-microporous polymer PIM-1 by using dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent and reacting a rigid monomer containing tetrafluorophenyl and a tetrahydroxy monomer containing a spirocyclic ring at 65°C for 72 hours.

[0005] Ghanem BS et al. (Macromolecules, 2008, Vol. 41, pp. 1640–1646) used spirobisindane and ethyl anthracene compounds as monomers, first reacting them at 150 °C for 48 h in a mixed system containing K2CO3, 18-crown ether-6 and DMF, and then followed by precipitation, washing and drying steps to obtain a series of PIMs with a yield not exceeding 80% and a maximum specific surface area of ​​720 m2 / g.

[0006] Stefanie A et al. (Macromolecules, 2011, Vol. 44, pp. 976–980) synthesized a series of aromatic polyimides (PIMs) using diaminotriterene and different types of phthalic anhydride as monomers at 80 and 180 °C for 4 and 16 h, respectively. The PIMs had a specific surface area of ​​430 m² / g and a yield of approximately 90%.

[0007] Swaidan R et al. (J. Membr. Sci., 2014, Vol. 457, pp. 95–102) modified PIM-1 with hydroxylamine and prepared AO-PIM-1 containing a methylamine oxime group by reacting at 69 °C for 20 h. The specific surface area was about 480 m2 / g.

[0008] Zhang G et al. (J. Membr. Sci., 2018, Vol. 556, pp. 277–284) prepared PIM containing tripterene and tergler bases by copolymerizing diaminotripterene with 2,6-diamino-14-carboxytripterene. The entire process took at least 5 days and the yield was less than 70%.

[0009] Ainur Y et al. (J. Membr. Sci., 2020, Vol. 595, p. 117512) first used 2,6(7)-dihydroxy-3,7(6)-diaminotriptene and 4,4-hexafluoroisopropenyl phthalic anhydride as monomers and reacted them at 200 °C for 4 h. Then, after drying and heat treatment (>30 h), functionalized polyimide PIM with a specific surface area of ​​405 m2 / g was obtained.

[0010] Patent CN110862537B first prepares the biphenylamine monomer by reacting maleimide or its derivative with 2,6-diaminoanthracene via the Diels-Alder reaction, then uses the Tegler base reaction to cause the biphenylamine monomer to undergo polycondensation, and finally removes maleimide or its derivative to obtain PIM. The entire process takes at least 18 hours, and the specific surface area of ​​the product is between 50 and 800 m2 / g.

[0011] Patent CN106279672B discloses a method for preparing PIM. First, two tetraphenol monomers and terephthalonitrile are used as raw materials to carry out a polycondensation reaction at 120-160°C in a protective atmosphere. Then, precipitation and washing are performed. The resulting yellow solid is boiled in boiling water for 5-8 hours and then vacuum dried at 80°C for 20 hours to obtain the target product with a specific surface area between 560 and 760 m2 / g.

[0012] In summary, existing methods for preparing PIMs involve cumbersome steps, high reaction temperatures, and long reaction times (≥18 hours), while typically resulting in low specific surface areas. Polyurethane materials, on the other hand, offer easily tunable properties and generally possess advantages such as high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, oil resistance, radiation resistance, and good air permeability. Furthermore, their raw materials are widely available, and the reaction conditions are mild with relatively fast reaction rates. It is noteworthy that no reports of polyurethane materials possessing inherent microporous structures have been found in existing literature and patent documents. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high specific surface area polyurethane material with microporous structure and its preparation method, which is simple, fast and efficient.

[0014] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: 1.

[0022] Preferably, the alternating treatment method is as follows: the reaction product is placed in a sealed container and supercritical CO2 is introduced. After extraction at 30-50 °C and 8-50 MPa for 5-20 minutes, the gas is released to obtain a solid. The solid is soaked in an organic solvent and then extracted and released again. This process is repeated 1-3 times. The organic solvent is acetone, butanone, or acetonitrile.

[0023] 2. A high specific surface area polyurethane material with microporous structure is prepared by the aforementioned method.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention utilizes polyisocyanates and polyols containing rigid, twisted groups as monomers, tertiary amine compounds as catalysts, and acetone or N,N'-dimethylformamide as the reaction medium to synthesize polyurethane microporous materials through stepwise polymerization under static or agitated conditions. The system of this invention features a simple composition, low reaction temperature (30 °C), fast reaction rate (<3 hours), high polymer yield (98%), and the polymerization reaction can be carried out under static, unstirred conditions without any stirring or agitation equipment, significantly reducing production costs and energy consumption. Post-treatment of the product using supercritical liquid extraction technology significantly increases the specific surface area of ​​the material (up to 900 m² / g). The resulting material is rich in hydroxyl and amino groups, exhibiting strong interactions with gases such as CO₂, and has potential applications in gas adsorption and separation.

[0025] The polyurethane microporous material prepared by this invention has a yield between 90% and 98%, a specific surface area between 500 and 900 m² / g, and an average pore size between 0.6 and 1.9 nm. The specific surface area and pore structure of the product can be adjusted by regulating the ratio and amount of monomer and solvent, reaction temperature, and other conditions to meet the material performance requirements of different applications.

[0026] The applicant has been engaged in the preparation and characterization of porous polymer materials, focusing on improving the specific surface area of ​​porous materials. In previous work (Journal of Chemical Research in Chinese Universities, 2013, Vol. 34, pp. 992-999; CN103819650B), the applicant synthesized polyurea porous materials (PPU) in a mixed solvent of water and acetone, using toluene diisocyanate or a mixture of 2-4 isocyanates as monomers, based on their reaction with water. This material does not contain micropores smaller than 2 nm, and is mainly composed of mesopores of 3-5 nm and macropores larger than 100 nm, with a surface area not exceeding 190 m² / g. Due to the use of aromatic isocyanate monomers containing benzene rings and the strong hydrogen bonding between urea groups, the resulting PPU molecular chains have strong rigidity and interaction, causing the molecular chains to attract each other and aggregate to form fibrous aggregates. Because no functional monomers with twisted structures are introduced, the PPU molecular chains are tightly packed, resulting in no gaps between the chains and no microporous structure. The internal mesopores and macropores are formed by overlapping fibrous aggregates. Due to the large pore size, the specific surface area of ​​PPU is relatively low. The applicant has also conducted experiments under the same conditions using aliphatic isocyanate monomers without benzene rings (such as isophorone diisocyanate), obtaining polymer microspheres with smooth surfaces and no pores (CN102643402B, CN102702470B and CN104072719B). This also indicates that the porous structure of PPU is related to its rigid structure (benzene rings). When aliphatic isocyanate monomers are used, the introduction of non-rigid alkyl chains increases the flexibility of the molecular chains, resulting in a tighter arrangement and packing of the molecular chains, thus eliminating the porous structure. The applicant also previously used polyisocyanates and aliphatic amines such as triethylenetetramine as monomers to prepare cross-linked polyureas (CN106317358B) in mixed solvents of water / acetonitrile or water / acetone. The results showed that regardless of whether the isocyanate monomer contained a rigid structure, the product obtained from its reaction with aliphatic polyamines was always a smooth-surfaced polyurea microsphere, lacking a porous structure. This indicates that even using rigid isocyanates and aliphatic polyamine monomers cannot produce porous materials. The reason may be that the introduction of aliphatic polyamines increases the flexibility of the polyurea molecular chains, making it easier for the molecular chains to adjust their conformation and form a more compact arrangement and stacking, thus making it difficult to form pores. In terms of polyurethane materials, the applicant used polyisocyanates and aliphatic polyols such as pentaerythritol as monomers to prepare crosslinked polyurethanes in a mixed solvent of water / acetonitrile or water / acetone (CN106317358B). The results also showed that, regardless of whether the isocyanate monomer contained a rigid structure, the product obtained by reacting it with aliphatic polyols was also a smooth polyurethane microsphere without a porous structure, for the same reason as when using aliphatic polyamines.

[0027] Recently, the applicant attempted to react hydroxyl-containing spirobisindane with polyisocyanates and found that the surface area of ​​the material far exceeded expectations (>500 m² / g), obtaining unexpected results. Based on this, the applicant systematically optimized the experimental conditions of the system, including the type, amount, and ratio of the polyisocyanate containing a rigid, twisted structure and the polyol monomer, the type, amount, and ratio of the solvent, the reaction temperature, and the stirring rate. Through numerous innovative experiments, the specific surface area of ​​the material reached 900 m² / g. Significantly different from other works mentioned above, this invention, in preparing polyurethane porous materials, uses not only polyisocyanate monomers containing rigid structures but also polyol monomers containing both rigid and twisted structures. The rigid structure in the molecule prevents the chain segments from rotating freely, while the twisted structure hinders the close packing of macromolecular chains, promoting the formation of a continuous microporous structure (<2 nm) within the polyurethane, which endows the material with a high specific surface area. The resulting polyurethane is a typical self-porous material. The structure, type, and pore-forming mechanism of the raw materials used are substantially different from other polyurea and polyurethane porous materials mentioned above. Furthermore, there are no reports on self-porous polyurethane materials in existing literature or patent documents, and no relevant methods or technical inspirations are available for reference. Compared with existing methods for preparing PIM, the method of this invention requires only a single raw material, operates under low temperature conditions (20~80 ℃, static or stirring rate below 300 r / min), has a shorter reaction time (<3 h), and produces a product with a high specific surface area (900 m² / g). In summary, this invention has significant inventiveness.

[0028] Supercritical liquid extraction (SLI) is a novel chemical separation technology that has emerged in the last 30 years and has been widely applied in many fields. The applicant discovered that using SLI significantly increases the specific surface area of ​​the resulting microporous material. Supercritical liquids (such as CO2) can extract the reaction medium in the system. During the venting process, the solvent is rapidly released with the CO2, which shortens the desolvation time of the polyurethane molecular chains during drying. This prevents the molecular chains from fully relaxing, resulting in a looser packing effect, which is beneficial for increasing the specific surface area of ​​the material. The applicant optimized the conditions of supercritical fluid extraction (including temperature, pressure, and time) through extensive experiments and compared the results with those obtained without this technology. The results showed that when the product was post-processed using conventional methods (including centrifugation, washing, and drying, see comparative examples), the yield of the obtained polyurethane microporous material was 92.4%, with a specific surface area of ​​720 m² / g (significantly higher than the specific surface area of ​​the polyurea porous material previously reported, i.e., 190 m² / g in CN103819650B), and an average pore size of 1.4 nm. However, when post-processed using supercritical liquid extraction (Example 1), the yield of the obtained polyurethane microporous material was 95.4%, with a specific surface area of ​​898 m² / g and an average pore size of 0.6 nm. Therefore, the specific surface area of ​​the product is further improved after using supercritical liquid extraction.

[0029] The specific advantages are as follows: 1. The polyol functional monomers required by this invention are commonly used raw materials in the preparation of PIMs. The required polyisocyanate monomers are commercially available and easy to obtain. At the same time, the method has a low reaction temperature, mild conditions, simple operation and fast reaction rate. The whole process can be carried out at room temperature and the reaction time does not exceed 3 hours, which has obvious advantages compared with the previous methods (above 100°C, >18 hours).

[0030] 2. This invention employs supercritical extraction technology to post-process PIMs, which significantly increases the specific surface area of ​​the material (up to 900 m2 / g, see Example 1 and Comparative Example). At the same time, the material surface is rich in hydroxyl and amino groups, which have strong interactions with gases such as CO2, making it a potential application in the fields of selective adsorption and separation of gases.

[0031] 3. The monomer dosage in the preparation of polyurethane PIMs by this invention can reach 40%, and the monomer conversion rate can reach 98%. The efficiency of PIMs preparation is significantly improved compared with previous methods. At the same time, the polymerization reaction can be carried out under static and unstirred conditions, that is, the reactor only needs to be placed in a constant temperature water bath without any stirring or shaking equipment, which makes the production cost and energy consumption significantly lower. Detailed Implementation

After removing the supernatant, the product was washed with N,N'-dimethylformyl and centrifuged again. This process was repeated twice. The resulting product was then dried in an 85 ℃ constant temperature oven for 24 h to obtain polyurethane microporous material with a yield of 92.4%, a specific surface area of ​​720 m2 / g, and an average pore size of 1.4 nm.

[0048] Compared with Example 1, the comparative example had a longer post-processing time, significantly lower yield and specific surface area, and larger pore size.
