Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hybrid nanomaterials, and particularly relates to a titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite material with fire warning function and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In today's society, fire has caused serious threat to people's life and property safety, and the upgrading of traditional industries and the development of strategic emerging industries have put forward higher demands for fire warning materials with fire retardant function. Among them, adding inorganic nanoparticles with light, heat, magnetic and other functions to the flame-retardant polymer matrix is an important way to endow the flame-retardant polymer matrix with fire warning performance. However, the multi-step addition of additives in the preparation process of the flame-retardant polymer composite material with fire warning performance makes the preparation of the flame-retardant polymer composite material with fire warning performance very cumbersome. At the same time, the poor compatibility between inorganic nanoparticles and the matrix also seriously affects the fire warning performance of the polymer composite material. Therefore, the preparation of the flame-retardant polymer composite material with fire warning performance still has many challenges.

[0003] It is a new research trend in the development of fire warning materials to integrate the organic components with flame retardance and good dispersibility with inorganic nanoparticles with electrical and thermal functions at the microscale to realize single addition to endow the polymer material with fire warning performance. Traditional fire warning materials can usually only provide monitoring and alarm functions after fire occurs. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite material with fire warning function.

[0005] Another object of the present application is to provide a preparation method of the titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite material.

[0006] Still another object of the present application is to provide the application of the titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite material prepared by the preparation method.

[0007] The specific principle of the present application is as follows:

[0008] When the titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite material is subjected to high temperature or suffers from flame burning, the titanium dioxide in the core-shell structure titanium dioxide nanoparticles can catalyze the hydroxyl groups on the borate ester on the surface to react with the epoxy resin at high temperature, rapidly remove the oxygen-containing groups on the surface of the epoxy resin, and reduce to a polymer with excellent electrical conductivity.

[0009] In addition, when the temperature is high or the material is subjected to burning, the phosphorus-containing polymer in the core-shell structure titanium dioxide nanoparticles decomposes first to produce some phosphorus-containing acid, which promotes the carbonization of the polymer matrix to form a carbon layer, which makes the contact between the reduced polymers more close, further reducing the resistance.

[0010] In addition, the remaining titanium dioxide nanoparticles are also uniformly dispersed in the carbon layer. Since titanium dioxide is a wide-band semiconductor material, its electrical conductivity increases rapidly with temperature. In the presence of boric acid ester, the electrical conductivity of titanium dioxide increases further after losing a small amount of oxygen, thereby reducing the resistance in the circuit.

[0011] The above three mechanisms together cause a sharp rise in current in the circuit, triggering a fire alarm.

[0012] The technical solution of the present application is as follows:

[0013] A titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite material with a fire warning function is composed of core-shell structure titanium dioxide nanoparticles with a particle size of 50-200 nm and epoxy resin; the core-shell structure titanium dioxide nanoparticles have titanium dioxide as the core and a phosphorus-containing polymer as the shell;

[0014] The epoxy resin is bisphenol A type epoxy resin E51, and the amount of the core-shell structure titanium dioxide nanoparticles added is 2-15 wt% of the epoxy resin; the phosphorus-containing polymer is obtained by the reaction and polymerization of a first compound and a second compound, wherein:

[0026] D. performing solid-liquid separation on the material obtained in step C, and drying the obtained solid to obtain the core-shell structure titanium dioxide nanoparticles;

[0027] The volume ratio of the titanium dioxide dispersion, the first compound solution and the second compound solution is 5-10:5-10:5-10.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the particle size of the nanometer titanium dioxide is 50-200 nm.

[0149] The above nano-titanium dioxide particles make the titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite quickly lose oxygen-containing groups at high temperature or when subjected to flame burning, thus reducing its resistance. The titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite with fire warning function is used as a fire-retardant coating and connected to a connecting circuit. When the fire-retardant coating burns, the decrease of the resistance of the mixed titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite therein causes a sharp rise of the current in the connecting circuit, thus triggering the fire alarm mechanism (the fire alarm mechanism, the titanium dioxide / epoxy resin composite prepared in the above examples in the fire-retardant coating and the connecting circuit together constitute a fire warning device). Based on the above principle, the fire warning time of Examples 1-8 and Comparative Example 1 is measured, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
