Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer material self-cleaning, and in particular relates to a preparation method and application of a polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate porous material. Background Art

[0002] Self-cleaning materials are a new type of material with broad application prospects. Their surfaces can automatically clean themselves under external stimuli and can effectively prevent the adsorption and adhesion of pollutants. This material has important application potential in many fields, including construction, energy, environment and medicine. In the past few decades, people have been committed to the research and development of self-cleaning materials to cope with the increasingly severe environmental and energy problems. Traditional cleaning methods require manual intervention and the use of chemical cleaners, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also have negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, the development of a material that can clean itself is of great significance to improving the quality of life, reducing energy consumption and protecting the environment.

[0003] Polymer porous materials are a type of porous materials formed by a high molecular polymer skeleton, with low density, high specific surface area and excellent adsorption performance. These characteristics make polymer porous materials widely used in various fields, such as adsorbents, radiant refrigeration and thermal insulation materials. Thermal insulation materials are often used in outdoor environments, such as tents and roofs of buildings. They will inevitably be contaminated by sewage and dust during use. If the hydrophobic properties of the material can be enhanced, it will help reduce the adhesion of pollutants on the surface of the thermal insulation material. Under the action of external forces, the stains will fall off by themselves, thereby expanding the application range of the thermal insulation material and enabling it to achieve the function of self-cleaning. However, the polymer porous materials prepared by the prior art still have the problem of poor self-cleaning effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the polymer porous material prepared by the prior art still has poor self-cleaning effect, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method and application of polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate porous material.

[0010] The usage ratio of the polymerizable eutectic solvent system to the photoinitiator is 5-10 mL: 0.01-0.05 g.

[0011] Step A3: adding methyltrimethoxysilane and deionized water to poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) respectively, reacting at 60-80° C. for 4 hours, washing away the unreacted methyltrimethoxysilane with anhydrous ethanol, and drying at room temperature to obtain a poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material;

[0012] The dosage ratio of polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyltrimethoxysilane and deionized water is 0.6-1.2 g: 0.6-1.2 g: 0.8-1.4 mL.

[0013] Furthermore, in step A2, the photoinitiator is any one of 2,2-diethoxy-1-acetophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone, 2-methyl-2-(4-morpholinyl)-1-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-1-propanone, and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]-1-propanone.

[0014] Furthermore, in step A2, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light is 365 nm and the light intensity is 80 mW / cm -2 .

[0045] Comparative Example 1

[0046] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material, comprising the following steps:

[0047] Step A1: 0.8 g of hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomer was uniformly mixed and dispersed with 5 mL of deionized water until transparent, and uniformly stirred on a magnetic stirrer at 18° C. for 30 min to prepare a polymerizable eutectic solvent system;

[0049] The poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were tested, and the results are as follows: Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown:

[0050] The products obtained in Comparative Example 1, Example 1 and Example 2 were photographed using a digital camera. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown by Figure 1 It can be seen that the comparative example 1 ( Figure 1 A) Example 1 Figure 1 B), Example 2 ( Figure 1 C) of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material was successfully prepared.

[0051] Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-3 were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Figure 2 As shown by Figure 2 It can be seen that Example 1 ( Figure 2 b) Example 2 Figure 2 c) and Example 3 ( Figure 2 d) The prepared poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material is compared with the comparative example 1 ( Figure 2 a) The prepared poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material has a richer porous structure, and its microscopic pores have a further cross-linked skeleton. This shows that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material after silanization treatment has a multi-level structure, which lays a foundation for the super-hydrophobicity of the material.

[0052] The hydrophobicity of the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Example 1 in water, milk, hydrochloric acid solution (1 mol / L), sodium hydroxide solution (1 mol / L), cola and coffee was photographed using a digital camera. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown by Figure 3 It can be seen that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material treated with methyltrimethoxysilane exhibits excellent hydrophobic properties to different solvents.

[0053] The dynamic contact angle behavior of water on the surface of the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 was investigated by a contact angle measuring instrument. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown by Figure 4It can be seen that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Example 1 not only has high hydrophobicity, but also has significantly better dynamic contact angle stability than that of Comparative Example 1.

[0054] The contact angles of the porous poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) materials prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Example 2 in milk, sodium hydroxide solution (1 mol / L), coffee, cola, and water were measured by a contact angle measuring instrument. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown by Figure 5 It can be seen that the contact angles of Example 2 in different solvents are greater than those of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the hydrophobicity of the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Example 2 is better than that of Comparative Example 1 in different solvents.

[0055] The poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Comparative Example 1 was placed in a 0.1 mol / L Rhodamine B organic dye aqueous solution, and taken out after immersion to observe whether it was stained. If it was stained, it means that the self-cleaning ability of the material was poor. If it was not stained, it means that the self-cleaning ability of the material was excellent. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown by Figure 6 It can be seen that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material after being taken out shows an obvious color change, indicating that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material that has not been silanized has poor self-cleaning ability.

[0056] The poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Example 1 was placed in a 0.1 mol / L Rhodamine B organic dye aqueous solution, and after immersion, it was taken out to observe whether it was stained. If it was stained, it means that the self-cleaning ability of the material was poor. If it was not stained, it means that the self-cleaning ability of the material was excellent. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown by Figure 7 It can be seen that the porous material did not change color after being taken out, indicating that the poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material prepared in Example 1 has excellent self-cleaning ability, which further proves the important role of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) porous material treated with methyltrimethoxysilane in the field of self-cleaning.
