Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lubricants, and in particular to a proton-type polyionic liquid, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof as a water-based viscosity-increasing lubricating additive. Background Art

[0002] According to statistics, friction accounts for approximately one-half to one-third of global energy consumption. Furthermore, approximately 80% of damaged parts are caused by various forms of wear. Therefore, controlling friction and wear is a crucial measure for conserving energy and protecting mechanical components. Compared to oil-based lubricants, which are prone to environmental pollution, water-based lubrication technology has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages such as widespread availability, flame retardancy, high specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity, environmental friendliness, and excellent cleaning performance. However, current water-based lubricants still have drawbacks, such as poor lubrication, low viscosity, and poor film-forming and corrosion resistance. The addition of water-based lubricant additives can significantly improve their physical and chemical properties and lubrication performance. Therefore, the development of water-based lubricant additives with high viscosity, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior friction and anti-wear properties is of great significance.

[0003] Ionic liquids are organic molten salts with a melting point below 100°C composed of organic cations and organic or inorganic anions. They have the advantages of low vapor pressure, high thermal and chemical stability, and flame retardancy. However, when ionic liquids are used as water-based lubricant additives, they cannot significantly increase the viscosity and film-forming properties of water-based lubricants. Polyionic liquids are a type of ionic polymer formed by the polymerization of monomers containing ionic liquid structures as repeating units. Polyionic liquids not only have the excellent lubrication properties of ionic liquids, but also have the high viscosity characteristics of polymers. However, the viscosity of water-based lubricants prepared with polyionic liquids in the prior art is still relatively low, the friction coefficient and wear volume are still relatively high, and the corrosion resistance needs to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In light of this, the present invention aims to provide a proton-type polyionic liquid, its preparation method, and its use as a water-based viscosity-enhancing lubricant additive. When used as a water-based lubricant additive, the proton-type polyionic liquid provided by the present invention can significantly increase the kinematic viscosity of the water-based lubricant, reduce the friction coefficient and wear volume of the water-based lubricant, and exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a proton-type polyionic liquid comprising a cation and an anion, wherein the cation is a copolymer of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, and the anion is an alkyl carboxylate anion and / or a dibutyl phosphate anion;

[0027] The mass concentration of the proton-type polyionic liquid in the water-based lubricant product is 0.1-40 wt %.

[0028] The present invention provides a protic polyionic liquid comprising a cation and an anion. The cation is a copolymer of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, and the anion is an alkyl carboxylate anion and / or a dibutyl phosphate anion. The cation has the structure shown in Formula I. The present invention uses the copolymer of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as the cation. The molecule contains a tertiary amine, which has a certain alkalinity. The carboxyl functional group in the alkyl carboxylic acid or the hydroxyl functional group in the dibutyl phosphate molecular structure has a certain acidity. The two can be reacted through a simple proton exchange reaction to produce an ionic monomer [dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate][alkyl carboxylic acid] or [dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate][dibutyl phosphate salt]. This ionic monomer is copolymerized with N-vinyl pyrrolidone to produce a protic polyionic liquid. This protic polyionic liquid has good solubility in water-based lubricants. The alkyl carboxylate anion or dibutyl phosphate anion can be effectively adsorbed to the interface of the metal friction pair, forming a physical adsorption film, which can significantly improve the lubrication performance of the water-based lubricant. In addition, the physical adsorption film can effectively isolate the metal surface from the water-based lubricant, greatly improving the metal's corrosion resistance. At the same time, the proton-type polyionic liquid aqueous solution provided by the present invention has a high viscosity and good film-forming ability on the friction pair surface.

[0029] Furthermore, the active nitrogen in the polymer's molecular structure undergoes a tribochemical reaction with the sliding friction pair, forming a tribochemical protective film. The synergistic effect of the physical adsorption film, the viscous liquid film, and the tribochemical reaction film effectively enhances the water-based lubricant's anti-friction and anti-wear properties, as well as its load-bearing performance.

[0030] The present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned proton-type polyionic liquid. The proton-type polyionic liquid of the present invention can be obtained by one-step polymerization. The preparation method is simple, does not require complex steps such as ion exchange, and is easy to produce on a large scale. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040]

[0041] Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) has good water solubility. The present invention uses polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a repeating unit of a polyionic liquid to significantly improve the solubility and viscosity of the polymer. In addition, PVP has very low toxicity, good physiological compatibility, and is inexpensive. At the same time, it contains active nitrogen elements, making it easier to generate a tribochemical reaction film. Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate in the cation is used to provide a basic tertiary amine functional group for the preparation of a proton-type polyionic liquid. In addition, the structure of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate also contains active nitrogen elements. The present invention uses a copolymer of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as a cation, and an alkyl carboxylate anion and / or dibutyl phosphate anion as an anion. The active nitrogen element in its molecular structure can undergo a tribochemical reaction with the interface of the friction pair that slides against each other to generate a tribochemical protective film, which can not only improve the friction reduction and anti-wear properties of the water-based lubricant, but also greatly improve its extreme pressure bearing performance. Alkyl carboxylate anions or dibutyl phosphate anions can be effectively adsorbed onto the interface of the metal friction pair to form a physical adsorption film, which can significantly improve the lubrication performance of the lubricant. Proton-type polyionic liquid aqueous solutions have high viscosity and excellent film-forming ability on the friction surface. The synergistic effect of physical adsorption film, viscoelastic liquid film, and tribochemical reaction film effectively improves the friction reduction, anti-wear and load-bearing properties of water-based lubricants.

[0111] Test Example 1 Anti-corrosion Performance Test

[0112] The polyionic liquids prepared in Examples 1-9 were formulated into base lubricant solutions with a concentration of 1 wt%. Corrosion resistance was tested according to GB6144-85, with water and water-ethylene glycol (mass ratio 1:1) serving as controls. Cast iron sheets of the same specifications were immersed in water, water-ethylene glycol, and the additive solutions prepared in Examples 1-9 at 55±2°C for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the sheets were ultrasonically cleaned in acetone and dried with high-velocity air. The surfaces of the sheets were observed under an optical microscope. The corrosion conditions of the sheets in the different aqueous solutions were analyzed and compared with a corrosion color chart to determine the corrosion grade. The results are shown in Table 10.

The kinematic viscosities of deionized water, water-ethylene glycol, and the additive solutions prepared in Examples 1 to 9 at 25°C and 40°C were measured using a Pinault viscometer. The experimental results are shown in Table 11.
