Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a hydroxyapatite modified polyurethane elastomer with excellent mechanical strength and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of polyurethane. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyurethane material is an elastomer formed by block of soft segment and hard segment. Since the polyurethane material has excellent mechanical properties, good processability and high dimensional stability, it has been widely used in different kinds of applications (waterproofing, coating, transportation, food processing and packaging, etc.). However, the polyurethane elastomer also has some shortcomings. For example, the polyurethane elastomer still has poor impact resistance under high-speed impact, and cracking occurs. At present, there are few studies on high-impact-resistant polyurethane elastomer materials, which also limits the application of polyurethane materials in the impact-resistant field.

[0003] In order to expand the application range of polyurethane materials and improve the mechanical and impact resistance properties of polyurethane, fillers are added to the polyurethane material. Through the full contact of the added fillers with the polyurethane segments, physical and chemical changes are produced, the interfacial strength is increased, and the mechanical properties and impact resistance effect of the polyurethane material are improved, so as to effectively avoid the damage caused by impact.

[0004] Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is a natural bioceramic material, and its molecular formula is Ca 10 (PO4)6(OH)2, and its main components are calcium hydroxide and calcium phosphate, which have excellent strength and hardness. It is widely used for preparing bone repair composite scaffolds, and the scaffold doped with HAP has higher mechanical properties. The unique structure and hardness of hydroxyapatite make it a popular research object of high-performance impact-resistant materials in recent years.

[0015] Preferably, the diol chain extender is one or more of 1,4-butanediol (BDO), 1,4-cyclohexanediol (PCHC), and 1,5-pentanediol (PTDO).

[0016] Preferably, the molecular weight of the polyether 330N polyol is 4750 to 5000.

[0017] Preferably, the hydroxyapatite has a spherical structure and a particle size of 100 nm to 200 nm.

[0018] Preferably, the A174 modified hydroxyapatite is prepared by the following method: HAP is added to a mixed solution of ethanol and water and stirred for 10 to 20 minutes, hydrochloric acid solution is used to adjust the pH to 3.5 to 4 and mixed for more than 1 hour; silane coupling agent A174 is added under an inert gas atmosphere and mixed for more than 1 hour, and then dried at 70°C to obtain A174 modified hydroxyapatite (HAP / A174); the addition amount of the silane coupling agent A174 is 2 wt% to 3 wt% of the HAP.

[0024] Beneficial effects

[0025] The application provides a hydroxyapatite modified polyurethane elastomer with excellent mechanical strength and a preparation method thereof. The introduction of HAP / A174 into the polyurethane elastomer can obviously improve the impact resistance and mechanical properties. In addition, the surface of HAP is modified by silane coupling agent A174, and the A174 modification can provide the opportunity to increase the interfacial interaction between the polyurethane and HAP / A174, so as to obtain the polyurethane elastomer with high mechanical properties. The physical crosslinking network is generated between HAP / A174 and the polyurethane matrix, the interfacial strength is enhanced, and thus the mechanical strength and impact resistance of the polyurethane elastomer are effectively improved. The introduction of HAP / A174 increases the Si-O-P bond of the nanocomposite, can effectively contact and bond the composite, increase the friction and thus hinder the molecular chain segment from dissipating more heat, and improve the macroscopic properties of the material.

[0026] The application provides a hydroxyapatite modified polyurethane elastomer with excellent mechanical strength and a preparation method thereof. The polyurethane elastomer is obtained by mixing and curing A and B components. The mass fraction of each raw material in A and B components needs to be set to ensure that the content of -NCO groups in the polyurethane is slightly more than that of -OH groups, so that the mechanical properties and deformation capacity of the polyurethane are guaranteed. Too much isocyanate content will lead to difficulty in forming the polyurethane structure, accelerate the polymerization and curing in the mixing process, and the polyurethane elastomer cannot be obtained; too much hydroxyl in the main raw materials will lead to increased viscosity in the material mixing process, and the mechanical properties of the prepared polyurethane are reduced.

[0027] The present application provides a hydroxyapatite modified polyurethane elastomer with excellent mechanical strength and a preparation method thereof. The polyurethane elastomer with HAP / A174 added when mixing components A and B is a key step for improving the mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer. Experiments show that the mechanical properties of the polyurethane composite prepared by adding HAP / A174 when mixing components A and B are significantly better than those of the polyurethane elastomer prepared by using the semi-prepolymer method to obtain component A.

[0074] (1) HAP was stirred with an ethanol solution (Vethanol:Vwater = 9:1) at room temperature for 15 minutes at a ratio of 2:1 of ethanol (10 mL):HAP (5 g). The PH was adjusted to 3.5-4 with a hydrochloric acid solution of PH = 1, and stirred at room temperature for 1 h.

Then, the mixture was poured into a polytetrafluoroethylene mold and dried at 70°C to obtain KH550 modified hydroxyapatite (HAP / KH550).

[0076] 0.3143 g of the prepolymer was dissolved in 25 mL of isopropyl alcohol solution, heated in a water bath at 48°C for 15 min to fully react, 5 drops of bromocresol blue indicator were added, and then 25 mL of di-n-butylamine toluene solution was added to completely dissolve the indicator; using 0.1022 mol / L of dilute hydrochloric acid for titration, it was found that the isocyanate content in the prepolymer was 12.51%;

[0077] The ratio of the mass (g) of acidic non-water-soluble bromocresol blue in the bromocresol blue indicator and the volume (mL) of the solvent sodium hydroxide is 1:1000, and the concentration of the sodium hydroxide is 0.1 mol / L.

[0078] (3) At room temperature, 36.12 g of polytetrahydrofuran ether glycol, 10.03 g of polyether 330N polyol, 3.75 g of 1,4-butanediol and 0.475 g of HAP / KH550 were sequentially added into the container, and then 44.13 g of the prepolymer in step (2) was added, and stirred at a stirring rate of 2000 r / min for 18 s; poured into a container of polytetrafluoroethylene, and placed in an oven at 70°C for 3 h to solidify, to obtain a polyurethane elastomer with a mass fraction of 0.5% of HAP / KH550 (denoted as 0.5% HAP / KH550).

[0079] The final products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were subjected to tensile testing, under the premise of using a 500N mechanical sensor, the size of the test sample was selected to be a small test sample of 5mm x 100mm, and the test was carried out at a tensile rate of 500mm / min, and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 2 The tensile strength of the polyurethane elastomer blank sample in Comparative Example 1 was 14.45 MPa, and the elongation at break was 523.67%. The mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer comparative sample with a mass fraction of 0.5% of HAP in Comparative Example 2 were about 22 MPa; the mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer comparative sample with a mass fraction of 0.5% of HAP / A174 prepared by prepolymer method in Comparative Example 3 were about 25 MPa, and the mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer comparative sample with a mass fraction of 0.5% of HAP / KH550 in Comparative Example 4 were about 29 MPa; while the mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomers obtained in Examples 1-3 were significantly increased, the average stress of Example 2 was about 38 MPa, and the elongation at break was 1589.34%, which was significantly increased compared with the tensile strength of the polyurethane elastomer blank sample, and the elongation at break was increased by about 2.4 times; it shows that the modified HAP of A174 added into the polyurethane improves the compatibility, the interfacial interaction is enhanced, more physical crosslinking and chemical bonds are produced, and the mechanical properties are significantly improved.

[0080] The final products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were subjected to impact testing using a Hopkinson bar, and it was found that the polyurethane elastomers showed different impact results when the prepared elastomers were impacted at a strain rate of 11000 / S, as shown in Table 2. Figure 3As shown, the average stress of the blank polyurethane elastomer sample was around 10 MPa; the average stress of the polyurethane elastomer with added HAP under impact was around 14 MPa; the average stress of the polyurethane elastomer with added HAP / A174 prepared by the prepolymer method was slightly increased due to the increase of Si-OP bonds, reaching around 18 MPa; the average stress of the polyurethane with HAP modified by KH550 was 15 MPa, but the sample showed a fragmented appearance; while the polyurethane with added HAP / A174 by the mixing method remained unchanged under impact, and the average stress was significantly increased to around 30 MPa. This shows that the addition of HAP / A174 filler and polyurethane matrix generated strong bond energy, thus significantly improving the impact resistance of polyurethane elastomer.

[0081] The damping behavior of composite materials is generally attributed to frictional motion at the filler-matrix interface, which significantly affects the energy dissipation of the composite material under external forces. DMA testing was performed on the final products prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 using compression testing. Figure 4 As shown, the damping coefficients of the composite materials with added fillers decreased to varying degrees, but the glass transition temperature (Tg) increased significantly. This indicates that adding fillers to the PU matrix increased the friction between the matrices, resulting in a more significant dissipation effect under stress. Increased interfacial bonding strength increased the rigidity of the composite material, increased the resistance to inter-segment sliding, leading to a decrease in tanδ and an increase in Tg. Among them, the damping temperature range of the polyurethane elastomer with 0.5% HAP / A174 increased from -59.935℃ to -39.335℃ to -43.389℃ to -27.026℃, showing the most significant rightward shift, and the glass transition temperature increased the most. This indicates that adding HAP / A174 to the polyurethane increased the friction between the matrices, resulting in a more significant dissipation effect under stress. The polyurethane elastomer with HAP / A174 has enhanced interfacial bonding strength, improved its resistance to intermolecular slippage, and has more steric hindrance, which is significantly enhanced compared to PU and HAP / PU. Specific results are shown in Tables 1-3.
