Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polyols, and particularly relates to a method for preparing castor oil-modified polycarbonate diol. Background Art

[0002] Waterborne polyurethane emulsion (WPU) refers to a new type of polyurethane system that uses water instead of organic solvent as a dispersion medium. It is widely used in adhesives, coatings and other industries due to its many advantages such as green, environmentally friendly and good compatibility. Among them, according to the different soft segment raw materials in the preparation process of waterborne polyurethane emulsion, waterborne polyurethane emulsion can be roughly divided into polyester waterborne polyurethane emulsion, polyether waterborne polyurethane emulsion, bio-based waterborne polyurethane emulsion and polycarbonate diol waterborne polyurethane emulsion. Compared with other types, bio-based waterborne polyurethane emulsion can better fit the original intention of waterborne coatings, but the existing bio-based waterborne polyurethane emulsion still has certain disadvantages, which limits its actual application effect; this is because most of these bio-based waterborne polyurethane emulsions are prepared with a single castor oil as a polyol (i.e., soft segment raw material), which often leads to the final obtained film. Most of its performance is not as good as that of polyester, polyether and polycarbonate diol types, especially high temperature resistance, which seriously limits its use in high-end products and harsh environments. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing castor oil-modified polycarbonate diol. The present invention creatively uses mercaptoethanol as a hydroxyl extender, so that it reacts with the unsaturated double bonds of castor oil based on a mercapto-ene click reaction, realizes the conversion of the unsaturated double bonds in the molecular structure of castor oil to hydroxyl groups, and then obtains component A; then an acyl chloride compound containing two terminal acyl chloride groups is used as a crosslinking agent, and based on the deacidification bonding of the acyl chloride and the hydroxyl group, component A and the crosslinking agent are added dropwise to the polycarbonate diol, that is, the modification of the polycarbonate diol by castor oil is completed, and the corresponding modified product is obtained. When the modified product is used as a polyol to prepare an aqueous polyurethane emulsion, it can have excellent performance, especially good high temperature resistance, and is very practical.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A method for preparing castor oil-modified polycarbonate diol, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: Stir castor oil, mercaptoethanol and benzoin dimethyl ether for 5-10 minutes at room temperature, then stir for 1-2 hours under ultraviolet light at 45-50°C, cool naturally to room temperature, filter, take the filtrate, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain component A;

[0007] S2: Stir tetrahydrofuran and polycarbonate diol at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to mix, then add the acyl chloride compound and component A dropwise while stirring in a nitrogen atmosphere under an ice bath, add sodium hydroxide solution after all the additions are completed, continue stirring at room temperature for 2-3 hours to mix, distill under reduced pressure, cool, filter, and take the filtrate to complete the preparation.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the mass ratio of the castor oil, the mercaptoethanol and the benzoin dimethyl ether in S1 is 10:5-6:1.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the irradiation with ultraviolet light in S1 refers to irradiation with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 365 nm.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the reduced pressure distillation in S1 refers to distillation at 60-70°C under a vacuum degree of -0.06 MPa until the volatiles are completely removed.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the mass ratio of the tetrahydrofuran, the polycarbonate diol, the acyl chloride compound and the component A in S2 is 80:2:0.2-0.3:0.8-1.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the dripping of the acyl chloride compound and component A in S2 refers to dripping the acyl chloride compound at a rate of 2-4s / drop, and dripping component A at a rate of 4-6s / drop.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the acyl chloride compound in S2 is at least one of succinyl chloride, adipoyl chloride and sebacoyl chloride.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the mass fraction of the sodium hydroxide solution in S2 is 8-10%; the mass ratio of the sodium hydroxide solution to the acyl chloride compound is 3:2-2.5.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the reduced pressure distillation in S2 refers to distillation at 55° C. under a vacuum degree of -0.04 MPa until the volatiles are completely removed.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the cooling in S2 refers to cooling to 3-5°C.

[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0018] (1) The present invention creatively uses mercaptoethanol as a hydroxyl extender, so that it reacts with the unsaturated double bonds of castor oil based on a mercapto-ene click reaction, thereby realizing the conversion of the unsaturated double bonds in the molecular structure of castor oil to hydroxyl groups, and then obtaining component A. Then, an acyl chloride compound containing two terminal acyl chloride groups is used as a crosslinking agent, and based on the deacidification bonding of the acyl chloride and the hydroxyl group, component A and the crosslinking agent are added dropwise to polycarbonate diol, thus completing the modification of polycarbonate diol by castor oil. When the modified product is used as a polyol to prepare an aqueous polyurethane emulsion, it can have excellent high temperature resistance.

[0019] (2) The present invention creatively prepares a modified product of castor oil-modified polycarbonate diol, so that after it is used as a polyol to prepare an aqueous polyurethane emulsion, it can have excellent performance, especially good high temperature resistance. On the one hand, the castor oil part in the modified product is a polyhydroxy molecular structure with a high degree of branching, which can provide a large number of active sites for reacting with isocyanate groups, has high cohesive energy, and has a good contribution to high temperature resistance; on the other hand, the polycarbonate diol part in the modified product contains carbonate groups, which can not only form a conjugated structure, improve rigidity, and promote high temperature resistance, but also form hydrogen bonds with the hard segment to enhance thermal stability. At the same time, compared with the physical modification of simple blending, chemical modification can better exert the synergistic effect of the two. In addition, in the process of modification, the dripping method is very critical. Whether the polycarbonate diol and the crosslinking agent are dripped into component A, or the crosslinking agent is dripped into the mixture of component A / polycarbonate diol, good technical effects cannot be obtained. The possible reason is that the molecular weight of polycarbonate diol is relatively high, the hydroxyl content is relatively low, and the chemical activity is not as good as castor oil. As a result, these two dropping methods promote the cross-linking of components A, and there are not many target modified products. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
