[0031] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are at least as follows:

[0032] The modified POP polyether provided by this invention has a uniform particle size distribution. For example, the PDI value is very low, even less than 0.3. Therefore, it has good storage stability, and the polyurethane foam material obtained using this polyether has high tensile and compressive strength. Detailed Implementation

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. These embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] This invention provides a modified POP polyether, synthesized from the following raw materials by weight: 40-70 parts by weight of polyether, 20-50 parts by weight of vinyl monomer, 0.1-1.0 parts by weight of initiator, 1.0-5.0 parts by weight of dispersant, 0.5-2.0 parts by weight of chain transfer agent, 0.1-1.0 parts by weight of chain extender, and 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of hyperbranched macromolecule.

[0035] The vinyl monomers mentioned include styrene (St) and acrylonitrile (AN). According to a specific embodiment, the mass ratio of acrylonitrile to styrene is 3:7 to 7:3; according to a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of acrylonitrile to styrene is 1:2.

[0036] According to a preferred embodiment, the provided modified POP polyether is synthesized from the following raw materials by weight: 50-60 parts by weight of polyether, 35-45 parts by weight of styrene, 15-25 parts by weight of acrylonitrile, 0.3-0.8 parts by weight of initiator, 2-4 parts by weight of dispersant, 1-1.5 parts by weight of chain transfer agent, 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of chain extender, and 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of hyperbranched macromolecule. According to a more preferred embodiment, the chain extender is 0.1-0.3 parts by weight.

[0037] The chain extenders mentioned include, but are not limited to, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, diallyl phthalate, diallyl maleate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, and triallyl isocyanurate. According to a preferred embodiment, the chain extender is ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The modified POP polyethers provided thus include those synthesized from several different chain extenders or from chain extenders of varying amounts. These modified POP polyethers exhibit some differences in properties. In particular, when ethylene glycol dimethacrylate is used as the chain extender, the prepared modified POP polyether has a low PDI index, and the resulting polyurethane foam material has high strength.

[0038] The polyether used has a viscosity of 150–170 mPa·s / 25℃ and a hydroxyl value of 110–112 mgKOH / g. The polyether can be commercially available or prepared in-house. According to the specific implementation method, it was purchased from Shandong Lanxing Dongda Co., Ltd.

[0039] The initiator includes, but is not limited to, benzoyl peroxide (BPO), azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), dimethyl azobisisobutyrate (AIBME), etc., and according to a preferred embodiment, the initiator is BPO.

[0041] The modified POP polyether provided can regulate the chain transfer reaction during the polymerization process by adding a chain transfer agent, thereby affecting the molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and polymerization rate of the modified POP polyether. If the amount of chain transfer agent added is too low, its regulating effect is insufficient; however, if the amount of chain transfer agent added is too high, it will lead to excessively high system viscosity, or even agglomeration. The chain transfer agents used include, but are not limited to, n-dodecyl mercaptan, tert-dodecyl mercaptan, isopropanol, and 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene (AMSD). According to a preferred embodiment, the chain transfer agent is AMSD.

[0044] The modified POP polyether method provided by this invention involves emulsion polymerization with polyether as the continuous phase and vinyl monomer as the dispersed phase. A chain extender is added to the dispersed phase to participate in the polymerization. At the same time, hyperbranched macromolecules with multiple hydroxyl groups are added to enhance the compatibility between the dispersed phase and the continuous phase and improve the stability of the system. The resulting modified POP polyether can be used as a polyurethane foaming material to enhance the strength of polyurethane foam.

[0045] The modified POP polyether provided by this invention has a high vinyl monomer conversion rate and good stability. The prepared product does not require separation and purification and can be directly used in polyurethane foam materials, resulting in polyurethane foam materials with good performance. The provided modified POP polyether can be used to prepare polyurethane foam materials, and is obtained from the following raw materials: 100 parts modified POP polyether, 30-50 parts isocyanate, 1-5 parts catalyst, and 1-5 parts water.

[0046] The isocyanate includes, but is not limited to, hexamethylene diisocyanate (MDI) and diphenylmethane diisocyanate (TDI). According to a preferred embodiment, the isocyanate is MDI.

[0047] The catalyst is one of dibutyltin dilaurate and NIAX catalyst, and according to the preferred embodiment, it is NIAX catalyst.

[0048] According to a specific implementation method, the preparation of foamed polyurethane material involves the following steps:

[0049] Weigh out the POP polyether, isocyanate, and catalyst according to the formula ratio. First, mix the polyether and catalyst evenly, then add the isocyanate, and finally add water and mix quickly and evenly. Pour into a mold and cure in a 100℃ oven for 2.5 hours.
