Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flame retardant synthesis, in particular to a novel calcium-containing sulfonic acid type ionomer flame retardant and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bisphenol A-based polycarbonate (PC) boasts excellent transparency, high mechanical strength, good stability, a high glass transition temperature, and electrical insulation properties, making it a popular alternative to glass and other plastics in many demanding environments. However, PC's tendency to produce dripping and toxic fumes during combustion limits its use in safety-critical applications, such as medical devices, electronic appliances, and automotive parts. These applications typically require the material to be self-extinguishing, produce minimal smoke and toxic gases, and minimize dripping, thereby minimizing fire risk and injury.

[0003] Currently, commonly used polycarbonate flame retardants can be divided into two categories based on the elements they contain: inorganic flame retardants and organic flame retardants. Inorganic and organic flame retardants can be further categorized based on the primary elements that contribute to their flame retardancy into organic / inorganic halogen flame retardants, organic / inorganic phosphorus flame retardants, organic / inorganic boron flame retardants, organic / inorganic silicon flame retardants, and organic / inorganic sulfonate flame retardants.

[0004] Sulfonate flame retardants can rapidly release large amounts of stable gases at high temperatures, forming a protective layer that effectively isolates the combustion source and slows the spread of fire. They also exhibit excellent antioxidant properties, remain stable at high temperatures, and are less susceptible to decomposition and failure. They also exhibit good weather resistance in open environments, are less susceptible to UV rays, moisture, and other factors, maintain a long-term flame retardant effect, and can effectively delay the release of smoke generated during combustion. However, the molecular structure of sulfonate flame retardants in existing technologies differs significantly from that of polycarbonate, which can lead to poor compatibility and reduced mechanical properties of the composite material. For example, when a commercially available KSS sulfonate flame retardant is added at a 0.2 wt.% concentration, the notched impact strength of the composite material drops to 19.27 MPa, a nearly 70% decrease from the 63.35 MPa of pure PC. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a novel calcium-sulfonic acid-based ionomer flame retardant, its preparation method, and its application, to address the aforementioned problems in the background art. The calcium-sulfonic acid-based ionomer flame retardant of the present invention has a chemical structure similar to that of polycarbonate, a simple and easy-to-operate synthesis process, and has minimal impact on the compatibility of the product system after addition to PC. It is non-toxic, heat-insulating, and oxygen-insulating, and can achieve a high flame retardant effect at a relatively low addition amount while maintaining the high mechanical properties of the composite material, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0008]

[0009] The second technical solution of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned calcium-containing sulfonic acid type ionomer flame retardant, comprising the following steps:

[0014] More preferably, the temperature of the esterification reaction is 0-5° C., and the volume ratio of concentrated sulfuric acid to acetic anhydride is 1:2.5.

[0015] Because the reaction between concentrated sulfuric acid and acetic anhydride is vigorous, the reaction must be performed in an ice bath at 0-5°C. After the esterification reaction is complete, the solution becomes a yellow oil. However, when too much acetic anhydride is added, the product solution becomes colorless and transparent, indicating incomplete reaction.

[0016] More preferably, the mass ratio of the polycarbonate to the sulfonated reagent is 1-100:0-10, and is not 0.

The relevant reaction formula is shown in Formula (II):

[0019]

[0020] More preferably, the ratio of 1,2-dichloroethane to polycarbonate is 10 mL:1 g.

[0022] During the reaction, the reaction solution was tested with pH test paper, and the reaction was completed when the solution reached neutrality.

[0023] Since the boiling point of 1,2-dichloroethane is 83° C., boiling distilled water is used to remove excess solvent, and then the sulfonated polycarbonate is obtained by filtration.

[0024] More preferably, the drying temperature is less than 60°C.

[0025] Preferably, the metal source modifying component is calcium chloride.

[0026] Preferably, the ion exchange reaction is as follows: dissolving sulfonated polycarbonate in 1,2-dichloroethane, adding calcium chloride, reacting for 48 hours, then slowly adding the reaction system dropwise to boiling distilled water, filtering the precipitate, washing, and drying to obtain the calcium-containing sulfonic acid ionomer flame retardant (Compound I).

[0028] More preferably, the ratio of 1,2-dichloroethane to sulfonated polycarbonate is 10 mL:1 g.

[0029] More preferably, the drying temperature is less than 60°C.

[0030] More preferably, the added amount of the metal source modification component is 120 wt% of the theoretical required amount; the theoretical required amount is obtained by measuring the sulfonation degree of the sulfonated polycarbonate.

After standing for 30 minutes, 0.1 mol / L HCl standard solution is added dropwise to the solution, and phenolphthalein is used as an indicator. The color change point is used as the titration endpoint, and the sulfonation degree of the sulfonated polycarbonate is calculated by detecting the volume of the consumed HCl standard solution.

[0033] More preferably, the ratio of the volume of 1,2-dichloroethane to the mass of the sulfonated polycarbonate is 5 mL:1 g.

[0034] The third technical solution of the present invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned calcium-containing sulfonic acid type ionomer flame retardant in the field of polycarbonate flame retardants.

[0035] The fourth technical solution of the present invention: provides a polycarbonate composite material, wherein the raw materials of the polycarbonate composite material include the above-mentioned calcium-containing sulfonic acid type ionomer flame retardant; the addition amount of the calcium-containing sulfonic acid type ionomer flame retardant is 0-2wt.%, and is not 0.

[0036] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0037] The calcium-sulfonic acid-based ionomer flame retardant of this invention has a chemical structure similar to that of polycarbonate, and its synthesis process is simple and easy to operate. When added to PC, it has minimal impact on the compatibility of the resulting system. It is non-toxic, provides thermal insulation, and is oxygen-insulating.

[0084] Figure 2 Medium, 3455cm -1Nearby is the OH stretching vibration peak. Since there is no OH stretching vibration peak in the infrared characteristic peak of polycarbonate, it can be proved that it comes from the sulfonic acid group introduced by the sulfonation reaction; 2919cm -1 The peak near 1619cm is the CH stretching vibration peak, which comes from the isopropylidene group in the sulfonated polycarbonate, proving that it does not break during the sulfonation reaction; -1 The C=O stretching vibration absorption peak is located at 1285cm, which proves that the two bonds with the smallest dissociation energy are not destroyed in the sulfonation reaction. -1 The absorption peak between is caused by the stretching vibration of the sulfonic acid group S=O.

[0085] Effect verification

[0086] The polycarbonate composite material was prepared as follows:

[0087] (1) The PC masterbatch was dried in a forced air drying oven at 100°C for 10 h. The products of each example and a commercial KSS flame retardant were then mixed with the PC masterbatch in different proportions. The mixture was then extruded, cooled, and pelletized using a twin-screw extruder to obtain pellets. The screw speed was 100 r / min. The temperature settings for each temperature zone of the twin-screw extruder are shown in Table 1.

[0088] Table 1 Temperature of each temperature section of twin-screw extruder

[0089]

[0090] (2) The pellets were dried in a forced air drying oven at 100°C for 10 h, and then an injection molding machine was used to produce experimental standard specimens (polycarbonate composite materials) in accordance with GB / T 25156-2010. The LOI values ​​(limiting oxygen index) of the experimental standard specimens were obtained using the ISO4589-1996 standard test, and the specimen specifications were 120 mm × 10 mm × 4 mm. The vertical combustion test was conducted using the UL-94 standard, and the specimen specifications were 120 mm × 13 mm × 3.2 mm. Injection molding pressure: 50 MPa for the first and second sections, respectively. The temperatures of each temperature section of the injection molding machine are shown in Table 2. The results of the limiting oxygen index and vertical combustion tests are shown in Table 3. The results of the mechanical properties tests are shown in Table 4.

[0091] Table 2 Temperature of each temperature range of injection molding machine

[0092]

[0093] Table 3 Flame retardant performance test at different flame retardant additions

[0094]

[0095] As shown in Table 3, the LOI value of the experimental standard specimen prepared from pure PC was 26.8%, and the UL-94 vertical combustion rating was UL-94 V-2. The LOI value of the composite material gradually increased with increasing flame retardant addition. When 1 wt.% of a 1 wt.% sulfonated flame retardant was added, the composite material's LOI value was 33.5%, passing the UL-94 V-0 rating. When 2 wt.% of a 5 wt.% sulfonated flame retardant was added, the composite material's LOI value was 36.5%, also passing the UL-94 V-0 rating. This demonstrates that the calcium-sulfonic acid-based ionomer flame retardant prepared in this invention can significantly improve the LOI value of composite materials, exhibiting excellent flame retardancy, surpassing commercial KSS flame retardants.

[0096] In summary, the calcium sulfonic acid ionomer flame retardant effectively enhances the flame retardancy of the substrate. This is likely due to its ability to prematurely decompose and rearrange PC, leading to cross-linking reactions that increase the stability and density of the carbon layer and act as an oxygen barrier.

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] As shown in Table 4, the composite material to which the novel calcium-containing sulfonic acid ionomer flame retardant of the present invention is added has enhanced flexural strength and elongation at break while maintaining the tensile strength and slightly reducing the notched impact strength.

[0101] The flame retardant designed in the present invention has a novel structure, is non-toxic, and is heat-insulating and oxygen-insulating. It can achieve a high flame retardant effect even at a low addition amount without affecting the mechanical properties. At the same time, the synthesis process is simple, easy to operate, and suitable for promotion and application.
