Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer functional materials, and in particular to a heat-insulating acrylic emulsion and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In cities with highly concentrated functions and heavy reliance on electricity and fossil fuels, improper energy utilization generates various types of waste heat. Combined with the urban heat island effect, improving insulation systems is crucial for efficient energy utilization. Therefore, improving the insulation of living spaces is a key approach to improving energy efficiency and enhancing building comfort and functionality. The selection of insulation materials, the layout of the insulation system, and the design of the insulation system all play a key role in achieving thermal insulation. Among various insulation materials, insulation panels and coatings are gaining popularity among businesses and the public for their ease of application, high thermal insulation performance, affordability, and thermal stability. Currently, the thermal insulation coatings on the market primarily include barrier, reflective, and radiant coatings. Barrier coatings typically incorporate inorganic heat-shielding materials. These materials emit high-energy electromagnetic waves, forming a heat-shielding layer on the coating surface, blocking heat. Reflective coatings typically incorporate highly reflective materials to achieve a high degree of reflection of sunlight. Radiation-type thermal insulation coatings usually add high-radiation materials to the thermal insulation coatings to radiate the residual heat on the surface of the object into the atmosphere, thereby reducing the surface temperature of the object.

[0003] Traditional insulation materials include expanded perlite products, aerated concrete, foamed concrete, polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, and nanoporous silica aerogel. However, these materials suffer from high prices, poor tensile strength, cracking when thickly applied, poor stain resistance, and poor flexibility, which compromise the insulation effectiveness of subsequent coatings. Therefore, developing an insulation material with superior thermal insulation performance is of paramount importance. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0041] The present invention provides a thermal insulating acrylic emulsion comprising hollow microspheres, forming a well-developed core-shell structure. The emulsion is prepared using raw materials including a siloxane compound with an active group, which improves the stability of the hollow microspheres during synthesis, resolving the problem of rupture during expansion.

[0050] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific examples. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials used in the following examples can be obtained from conventional commercial sources or prepared and isolated by simple synthesis; unless otherwise specified, the processes used are conventional processes in the art.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This embodiment provides a heat-insulating acrylic emulsion with latex particles of different particle sizes, and the specific preparation method is as follows:

[0053] 1. Preparation of siloxane compounds with active groups:

[0054] First, 100 g of ethyl silicate was added to 50 g of deionized water and stirred evenly. During the stirring process, 0.01-0.05 g of glacial acetic acid was added, the temperature was raised to 40-50° C., and stirring was continued for 5 minutes. Then, 10 g of γ-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane monomer was dropwise added to the water. After reacting for 30 minutes, the temperature was lowered, and 0.1% (w / v) of tetrahydroxypropylethylenediamine was added to the mixture as a stabilizer. Finally, the mixture was filtered to obtain a siloxane compound with an active group, which was labeled SI-1.

[0055] 2. Preparation of different acrylic emulsion seeds The raw materials (parts by mass) are shown in Table 1, and the preparation steps are as follows:

[0056] a. Disperse the emulsifier sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DS-4) in deionized water, slowly add the olefin monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA) and the unsaturated acid methacrylic acid (MAA) to the water under stirring, and disperse at a speed of 600 rpm / min for 10 minutes to prepare the pre-emulsion for dropwise addition reaction; mix the sodium persulfate and water evenly and use it as a titration initiator for later use;

[0057] b. Prepare a reaction flask, add a certain amount of water and heat it to 83-89°C, add about 2% of the pre-emulsion, add a portion of the sodium persulfate aqueous solution, maintain the reaction at 83-85°C for 15 minutes, and show a blue fluorescent state; continue to add the remaining pre-emulsion and the remaining sodium persulfate aqueous solution dropwise at 83-85°C at a uniform rate, and stir at a uniform speed for 4 hours until the reaction forms an emulsion; put the previously treated silane SI-1 into the reactor at one time, rinse with water, control the temperature to 83-85°C and keep the reaction for 2 hours, and finally cool it down and filter the emulsion to obtain acrylic seed emulsions, recorded as Seed-1 to Seed-7.

[0058] Table 1

[0059]

[0060] 3. The raw materials (parts by mass) for the preparation of different thermal insulation acrylic emulsions are shown in Table 2. The preparation steps are as follows:

[0061] The seed emulsions Seed-1 to Seed-7 were added to water, heated to 90-93°C, and sodium persulfate was added. An emulsion consisting of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DS-4), styrene (ST), methyl methacrylate (MMA), allyl methacrylate (AMA), methacrylic acid (MAA) and water, as well as sodium persulfate, was added dropwise over 150 minutes. When 45% of the emulsion was added, aqueous ammonia was added, reacted for 5 minutes, and the addition was continued. After the dropwise reaction, the temperature was lowered to 80-83°C, and a post-treatment reaction was carried out with tert-butyl hydroperoxide and ascorbic acid. The temperature was maintained for 20 minutes. The temperature was lowered to below 50°C and the product was discharged, which was recorded as thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 1-7.

[0062] Table 2

[0063]

[0064] Example 2

[0065] This example provides thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 8-9 with different core-shell ratios (different weight parts of seed emulsion). The preparation method is the same as that of Example 1. The raw materials (weight parts) are shown in Table 3:

[0066] Table 3

[0067]

[0068] Example 3

[0069] This embodiment provides thermal insulating acrylic emulsions 8-9 with different core-shell ratios. The preparation method thereof is different from that of Example 1 in that, in step 3, seed emulsion Seed-3 is added to water and the temperature is raised to 80-83°C or 85-88°C to prepare thermal insulating acrylic emulsions 10-11, respectively.

[0070] Comparative Example 1

[0071] This comparative example provides a thermal acrylic emulsion, and its preparation method is different from that of Example 1 in that the silicone compound SI-1 is not added in the preparation of the acrylic emulsion seed in step 2.

[0072] Experimental testing

[0073] 1. Test method

[0074] (1) After dispersing the heat-insulating acrylic emulsion 1-11 in anhydrous ethanol, the emulsion was dropped onto a copper mesh using a capillary tube and dried. The microscopic morphology of the emulsion was observed using a JEM-1230 transmission electron microscope.

[0075] (2) The sample particle size and particle size distribution of thermal insulation acrylic emulsion 1-11 were tested and analyzed using the NANOPHOX CS dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer from the German SYMPATEC company.

[0076] (3) According to the test criteria of JG / T 235-2014 “Architectural Reflective Thermal Insulation Coatings”, the thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 1-11 were analyzed using a portable solar spectroscopic reflectometer model AvaSR-96 and a hemispherical emissivity meter model AE1 / RD1.

[0077] 2. Test results

[0078] Figure 1-4 These are electron microscope images of thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 5, 6, 3, and 7, respectively. From the figure, we can see that before the addition amount reaches 8%, as the addition amount increases, the sphericity of the hollow microspheres increases. However, as the addition amount reaches 8%, the performance decreases. Because there is too much silane, the expansion of the hollow microspheres is affected.

[0079] Table 4 shows the particle size and thermal insulation properties of thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 1-4:

[0080] Table 4

[0081]

[0082] As shown in Table 4, different seed particle sizes have a significant impact on the particle size of the finished hollow spheres, and also significantly affect their particle size distribution. As the particle size changes, the reflectance of different light rays changes accordingly. In the particle size range of 450-1700nm, the particle size increases, and the cavity of the hollow microsphere also becomes larger, which increases the efficiency of reflective heat insulation. However, at a particle size of 2000nm, the reflective heat insulation performance decreases. The particle size is too large, and when the microspheres expand, they are not able to support them, causing the microspheres to rupture, thereby reducing the efficiency of reflective heat insulation. Therefore, when the finished particle size is 1700nm, the reflective performance is optimal.

[0083] Table 5 shows the particle size and thermal insulation performance of the acrylic emulsions of the comparative examples and thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 5-7:

[0084] Table 5

[0085]

[0086] As shown in Table 5, during the neutralization and expansion of the hollow microspheres, a significant negative pressure is generated. If the latex particles are not stable enough, they can easily break, resulting in insufficient microsphere expansion or damage, thus affecting the thermal insulation performance of the hollow microspheres. The siloxane compound SI-1 of the present invention, added to the seed emulsion, primarily acts as a scaffold for the hollow microspheres, improving the thermal insulation performance of the insulating acrylic emulsion. This, in turn, gives the thermal insulation coating prepared using it high reflective insulation efficiency.

[0087] Different silane addition levels have different effects on the efficiency of thermal insulation and reflection. At addition levels up to 8%, as the amount added increases, the sphericity of the hollow microspheres increases, and the thermal insulation and reflection efficiency improves. However, as the addition level reaches 8%, performance decreases. Excessive silane content impedes the expansion of the hollow microspheres, resulting in a decrease in thermal insulation and reflection efficiency.

[0088] Table 6 shows the particle size and thermal insulation properties of thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 8-9:

[0089] Table 6

[0090]

[0091] As can be seen from Table 6, hollow microspheres are achieved by relying on the core-shell technology in emulsion polymerization, among which the core-shell ratio is particularly critical. When the core-shell ratio is 1:9, the shell layer is too thick, which will lead to the wall thickness of the microspheres being too thick, affecting the hollowness and expansion efficiency of the microspheres; when the core-shell ratio is 3:7, the shell layer is too thin, which will result in the core layer not being able to be covered, and thus a good core-shell structure cannot be formed, affecting the reflective thermal insulation performance; it can be seen that when the core-shell ratio is 2:8, the synthesized hollow thermal insulation acrylic emulsion has the best reflective thermal insulation performance.

[0092] Table 7 shows the particle size and thermal insulation properties of thermal insulation acrylic emulsions 10-11:

[0093] Table 7

[0094]

[0095] The reaction rates of monomers vary at different temperatures. A complete core-shell structure must be formed, and starvation titration must occur during the reaction process. Only then can the shell layer more evenly cover the core layer. Furthermore, the hollow microspheres expand through acid-base neutralization. As shown in Table 7, the reflective and thermal insulation properties of the hollow microspheres increase with increasing reaction temperature. This is primarily because the core layer of the hollow microspheres is acidic, and the base needs to enter the latex particles in the later stages of synthesis to neutralize the acid. Therefore, a certain temperature is required to soften the shell layer, allowing the base to more smoothly enter the latex particles for acid-base neutralization. When the reaction temperature is 90-93°C, the resulting thermal insulation acrylic emulsion exhibits optimal thermal insulation properties.

[0096] In summary, the present invention provides a thermal insulating acrylic emulsion comprising hollow microspheres, forming a well-defined core-shell structure. The siloxane compound with active groups in the raw materials used to prepare the thermal insulating acrylic emulsion improves the stability of the hollow microspheres during the synthesis process, resolving the problem of rupture during expansion. This improves the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulating acrylic emulsion, thereby enabling the thermal insulating coating prepared using the emulsion to possess high reflective insulation efficiency.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be considered as equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
