Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of elastomer materials technology, and in particular relates to a high-strength and tough acrylic rubber and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Acrylic rubber is a material obtained by copolymerizing alkyl acrylates as the main monomer, along with functional monomers and a small amount of vulcanizate monomers with crosslinking active groups. Because the main chain of acrylic rubber is a saturated carbon chain and the side groups contain highly polar ester groups, acrylic rubber possesses many excellent properties, such as heat resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance, ozone resistance, and UV resistance. Various products made from acrylic rubber are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, pharmaceutical, and transportation industries. In recent years, with the rapid development of soft robots, intelligent actuators, electronic sensors, and other related fields, the demand for high-performance acrylic rubber as a raw material for manufacturing electrically driven deformable components—dielectric elastomers—is increasing daily.

[0003] Current acrylic rubber technology still has many shortcomings in terms of mechanical properties and processing. In terms of mechanical properties, acrylic rubber often faces a dilemma of balancing strength and toughness. On the one hand, to ensure the elastic properties of the material, the crosslinking density of acrylic rubber is usually low, with the content of the vulcanizing point monomer generally not exceeding 5 wt%. Low crosslinking density gives acrylic rubber excellent deformation capacity and toughness, but also results in the strength of acrylic rubber generally being below 10 MPa or even lower. For example, the TangoBlack and Agilus30 Clear series of acrylic rubbers developed by Stratasys have a maximum strain of 240%, but a tensile strength of only 3.1 MPa. On the other hand, many applications (such as dielectric elastomers) often require acrylic rubber to have a Young's modulus as low as several megapascals or even kilopascals to match the high deformation requirements of these applications. To ensure a low modulus, it is often necessary to further reduce the crosslinking density. In this case, the strength of the acrylic rubber is even more difficult to guarantee, and may even fail to reach the megapascal level. For example, the widely used VHB acrylic rubber developed by 3M... TM 4910 has a modulus of 0.23 MPa and a toughness of 4.88 MJ / m. 3 Its strength is only 0.99 MPa. It can be seen that in order to ensure high toughness or low modulus, the strength of the elastomer is often sacrificed.

[0004] In terms of processing and preparation, acrylic rubber is usually produced from raw rubber through a high-temperature vulcanization process, which involves harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, and the preparation process is lengthy and complex. The contradiction between strength and toughness, as well as the processing and preparation problems mentioned above, limit the further development and application of acrylic rubber, especially in high-value-added and cutting-edge fields such as soft robots and electronic sensors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the current situation where strength and toughness of acrylate rubber cannot be simultaneously achieved, this invention proposes a high-strength and high-toughness acrylate rubber and its preparation method. Based on the solution provided by this invention, acrylate rubber with both high strength and high toughness can be obtained quickly. Furthermore, the preparation method of the acrylate rubber provided by this invention has simple steps, does not require high temperature or pressure, the preparation conditions are readily available, and the preparation time is short, which has significant advantages in the preparation process.

[0006] This invention first prepares an acrylate polymer containing photosensitive active groups by copolymerization, and then crosslinks it based on photopolymerization to form a high-strength and tough acrylate rubber.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The first objective of this invention is to provide an o-nitroalkylbenzene monomer that simultaneously possesses both photosensitive active groups and polymerizable active groups.

[0009] The o-nitroalkylbenzene monomer comprises two covalently linked structural parts: one part is a photosensitive o-nitroalkylphenyl group; the other part is a polymerizable active group. The structure is shown in Formula I:

[0010]

[0011] Wherein, R1 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, mercapto, halogen, alkoxy, alkyl or modified alkyl, wherein the modified alkyl is a group obtained by replacing any carbon atom of an alkyl group with other heteroatoms or groups; P is a polymerizable active group containing a double bond and covalently connected to R2 or R3.

[0012] Preferably, R1 is selected from methyl or ethyl; R2 and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, halogen atom, alkyl or alkoxy; and P is an active group containing polymerizable double bonds.

[0015]

[0016] A second objective of the present invention is to provide an acrylate polymer modified with o-nitroalkylbenzene.

[0017] The acrylate polymer is formed by copolymerization of the o-nitroalkylbenzene monomer and the alkyl acrylate monomer provided in the first object of the present invention under thermal initiation conditions.

[0018] In one embodiment of the invention, the acrylate polymer is formed by copolymerization of the o-nitroalkylbenzene monomer, the alkyl acrylate monomer, and the functional monomer provided in the first object of the invention under thermal initiation conditions.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the alkyl acrylate monomer is an alkyl-containing acrylate monomer or an alkyl-containing methacrylate monomer, wherein the alkyl length of the alkyl acrylate monomer is 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

[0020] Preferably, the alkyl acrylate monomer is selected from ethyl acrylate monomer, n-butyl acrylate monomer, lauryl acrylate monomer, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate monomer, lauryl methacrylate monomer, or n-octyl methacrylate monomer.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the functional monomer is adjusted according to the performance requirements of the desired polymer, preferably 0%-50%, and when the content of the functional monomer is 0, it means that no functional monomer is added.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the copolymerization method of the o-nitroalkylbenzene monomer, the alkyl acrylate monomer, and the functional monomer under thermal initiation conditions is selected from one of bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, precipitation polymerization, or emulsion polymerization.

[0026] Preferably, the copolymerization method is selected from emulsion polymerization.

[0027] A third objective of this invention is to provide a high-strength, high-toughness acrylate rubber.

[0028] The high-strength and tough acrylate rubber is formed by crosslinking an acrylate polymer modified with o-nitroalkylbenzene, as provided in the second objective of this invention, a monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer, and a photoinitiator.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer is a substance containing one or more polymerizable double bonds in its molecular structure, wherein the polymerizable double bonds are selected from acryloyl, methacryl, styrene, acrylonitrile, and alkenyl.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer is selected from 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, isobornyl acrylate, trimethylolpropane formal acrylate, cyclohexanediol diacrylate, bisphenol A dimethacrylate, bisphenol A diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol triacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, 1,3-butanediol diacrylate, tricyclodecanediol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, tri(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate triacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, tripentaerythritol triacrylate, N-acryloylmorpholine, tetrahydrofuran acrylate, acrylic acid, and oligomers containing acrylate or methacrylate groups.

[0031] In one embodiment of the invention, the oligomer refers to a polymer composed of a relatively small number of repeating units, wherein the relatively small number of repeating units refers to 10-100 repeating units.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the oligomer containing acrylate or methacrylate groups is selected from epoxy acrylate, polyester acrylate, polyether acrylate or polyurethane acrylate.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the photoinitiator is a compound that can absorb energy of a certain wavelength in the ultraviolet or visible light region, generate free radicals, and thereby initiate polymerization or cross-linking.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the photoinitiator is preferably one or more of the following: hydroxy-methylphenylpropane-1-one, methyl-2-(4-morpholino)-1-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-1-propanone, phenyl bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide, ethyl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphenylphosphonate, hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylphenylacetone, or lithium phenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphate.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mass contents of the o-nitroalkylbenzene modified acrylate polymer, the monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer, and the photoinitiator in the high-strength and tough acrylate rubber are preferably 30% to 99%, 1% to 70%, and 0.05% to 10%, respectively.

[0036] A fourth objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing high-strength and high-toughness acrylate rubber, wherein one of the following methods is selected:

[0037] An acrylate polymer modified with o-nitroalkylbenzene, a monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer, and a photoinitiator are directly mixed uniformly and then photocrosslinked; or,

[0038] An acrylate polymer modified with o-nitroalkylbenzene, a monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer, and a photoinitiator are mixed uniformly in a suitable solvent, and after removing the solvent, they are photocrosslinked; or,

[0039] An acrylate polymer modified with o-nitroalkylbenzene, a monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomer, and a photoinitiator are mixed uniformly in a suitable solvent, and then the solvent is removed after photocrosslinking.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the solvent may be selected as needed, for example, it may be dichloromethane, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for photocrosslinking can be selected as needed, for example, a light intensity of 100 mW / cm². 2 Irradiate it with a light source with a wavelength of 395nm to completely cure it, and the curing time is 30-300s.

[0042] Traditional acrylate rubbers rely on free radical polymerization reactions that polymerize double bonds or chemical reactions between sulfur and double bonds, or chlorine and metal oxides, to achieve crosslinking. These crosslinking reactions are highly inefficient; for example, when sulfur is used to vulcanize olefins, only 40-50% of the sulfur effectively achieves crosslinking.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0044] The crosslinking of o-nitroalkylbenzene with polymerizable double bonds provided by this invention is based on the reaction principle of nitrosyl intermediate (photolysis product of o-nitroalkylbenzene) and carbon free radicals. This is achieved thanks to the extremely high reaction rate (rate constant 10) between nitrosyl and carbon free radicals. 8 -10 9 L·mol -1 s -1 The o-nitroalkylbenzene exhibits high crosslinking efficiency with polymerizable double bonds, resulting in a more complete crosslinking network in the obtained rubber material. This effectively promotes force transmission between internal structures under stress, thereby synergistically enhancing the material's strength and toughness. Therefore, based on the introduction of o-nitroalkylbenzene crosslinking groups, the acrylate rubber provided by this invention achieves excellent strength and toughness.

[0045] Furthermore, unlike the high temperature, pressure, and long vulcanization conditions required for the preparation of traditional acrylate rubber, the acrylate rubber provided by this invention has a simple preparation process, does not require high temperature or pressure, has readily available preparation conditions, and requires a short preparation time, thus having significant advantages in the preparation process.

[0201] Example 32: Elastic Property Analysis of High-Strength and Tough Acrylic Rubber

[0202] Dynamic mechanical property analysis of formulation 12 acrylate rubber in Example 31

[0203] An acrylic rubber sample (formulation 12) with dimensions of 35.0 mm × 12.8 mm × 3.2 mm was prepared using a mold. The dynamic mechanical analyzer used for testing was a TA Q800; the measurement mode was single cantilever; the test conditions were a frequency of 1 Hz, an amplitude of 15 μm, and a temperature ramp-up scan at a rate of 3 °C / min within the range of -50 °C to 100 °C. The test results are as follows... Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1 It can be seen that the storage modulus E' of the acrylate rubber gradually decreases with increasing temperature. This is because as the temperature approaches the glass transition temperature (Tg), the acrylate rubber gradually transitions from the glassy state to the rubbery state. The Tg point of the acrylate rubber is below 0℃, indicating that under normal operating temperatures, the acrylate rubber remains in the rubbery state and exhibits the elastic properties of rubber.

[0204] Examples 33-34: Mechanical property testing of high-strength and tough acrylic rubber and its control rubber

[0205] Example 33: Mechanical Properties of Acrylic Rubber

[0206] Tensile tests were performed on the different acrylic rubbers synthesized in Example 31 to obtain their fracture strength and fracture toughness. In addition to comparative rubbers 1 and 2, the commercially available acrylic rubber VHB was also selected.TM 4910 was used as a control rubber 3 for performance comparison. Tensile tests were conducted at room temperature using a universal tensile testing machine (Instron 6800) with a 100N compressive element, at a testing speed of 40 mm / min. The test sample was a rectangular strip measuring 10 mm (length) × 2 mm (width) × 0.5 mm (thickness). Tensile strength was calculated by dividing the stress by the initial cross-sectional area of ​​the elastomer sample. Fracture toughness was obtained by integrating the area covered by the stress-strain curve. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0207] Table 2. Comparison of strength and toughness of different acrylic rubbers

[0208]

[0209]

[0210] Table 2 summarizes the strength and toughness of acrylate rubbers prepared by the o-nitroalkylbenzene-modified acrylate polymer and monofunctional or polyfunctional polymerizable monomers in different combinations and mass ratios according to this invention. It can be seen that the acrylate rubbers prepared by the method described in this invention all exhibit excellent strength and toughness. Unlike traditional acrylate rubbers, which present a trade-off between strength and toughness, the acrylate rubbers prepared by this method can achieve a balance between strength and toughness, and their strength and toughness are significantly higher than those of the commercially available acrylate rubber VHB. TM 4910. Meanwhile, by comparing with acrylate rubbers that do not contain o-nitroalkylbenzene (comparative rubbers 1 and 2), it can be found that o-nitroalkylbenzene plays a key role in improving the strength and toughness of acrylate rubbers.
