Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high polymer synthesis, in particular to a fluorine-containing monomer, a fluorine-containing silicone rubber and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] According to the requirements of the space environment, the polar cold environment and the hydrogen fuel cell field on the low-temperature performance of materials, the rubber products must maintain elasticity and sealing performance at ultra-low temperature. At present, only silicone rubber can meet such harsh service requirements, especially in the low-temperature environment of <-100℃, only ethyl silicone rubber can be used for a long time. Ethyl silicone rubber is a polymethylsiloxane side chain methyl group which is substituted by an ethyl group. When the side chain is all ethyl, the glass transition temperature Tg is as low as -145℃. Therefore, polydiethylsiloxane is considered to be the most outstanding low-temperature performance rubber. However, it appears crystallization at about -73℃, and appears crystalline phase transition at -10-20℃, resulting in the material hardening at low temperature and failing to play the low-temperature resistance characteristics. The key factor restricting the low-temperature resistance performance of silicone rubber products is the glass transition temperature and crystallinity of the raw rubber. In order to improve the crystallization behavior of polydiethylsiloxane, people introduce other copolymer units into the molecular backbone to destroy the chain regularity and then destroy the crystallinity.
[0003] The research shows that when the ethyl molar fraction is 10%, the regular structure of the polymethylsiloxane can be destroyed, and the crystallization temperature is obviously reduced, but the crystallization does not completely disappear. When the ethyl molar fraction is 20%, 30% and 40%, there is no crystalline melting transition in the range of-150-0 ℃, and the Tg is-140, -143, -145 and-146 ℃ respectively, that is, the glass transition temperature decreases with the increase of the content of the ethyl chain segment. For the compression cold resistance coefficient, when the ethyl chain segment molar fraction is 10%, the compression cold resistance coefficients of the ethyl silicone rubber at-80 and-100 ℃ are 0.45 and 0.19 respectively, and the low temperature resistance improves with the increase of the content of the ethyl chain segment. When the ethyl chain segment molar fraction increases to 20%, the compression cold resistance coefficients at-80 and-100 ℃ are 0.76 and 0.47 respectively, which shows more excellent low temperature resistance. With the further increase of the content of the ethyl chain segment, the low temperature resistance changes unobviously. It can be seen that the introduction of the ethyl chain segment greatly improves the cold resistance of the silicone rubber. However, the hot air aging test shows that after 100 ℃×72 h hot air aging, the mechanical properties of the ethyl silicone rubber with the ethyl chain segment molar fraction of 10% and 20% change little, but the mechanical properties of the ethyl silicone rubber with the ethyl chain segment molar fraction of 30% decrease obviously, and the mechanical properties of the ethyl silicone rubber with the ethyl chain segment molar fraction of 40% decrease significantly. After 150 ℃×72 h hot air aging, the similar change trend is shown, wherein the silicone rubber vulcanized rubber with the ethyl chain segment molar fraction of 40% is brittle, and the hot aging performance decreases due to the oxidation and fracture of the ethyl side chain in the hot oxygen environment. Therefore, it still faces great challenges to prepare the low temperature resistant silicone rubber with excellent aging resistance and mechanical properties. SUMMARY

[0139] The fluorinated silicone rubbers (i.e., ethyl fluorosilicone rubbers) prepared in Examples 1-7 and the ethyl silicone rubbers prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 were subjected to NMR, DSC, and thermogravimetric analyses. The obtained data are shown in Table 1. The NMR comparison diagrams of ethyl silicone rubber and ethyl fluorosilicone rubber are shown in Table 1. Figure 1 The DSC comparison charts for ethyl silicone rubber and ethyl fluorosilicone rubber are shown below. Figure 2The thermogravimetric comparison chart of ethyl silicone rubber and ethyl fluorosilicone rubber is shown below. Figure 3 .
[0140] Table 1 Measurement Results
[0141]
[0142] Figure 1 It is ethyl silicone rubber and ethyl fluorosilicone rubber. 1 HNMR spectrum, solvent is deuterated chloroform; from Figure 1 As can be seen from this, the chemical shifts δ=0~0.16 correspond to SiCH3 * The SiCH2*CH3 corresponding to δ=0.44~0.54, the SiCH2CH3* corresponding to δ=0.9~0.96, and the SiCH2*CH3* corresponding to δ=5.7~5.8 are all represented by δ. * =CH2, δ=5.9~6.2 corresponds to SiCH=CH2*; this indicates that the synthesized polymer contains SiCH3, SiCH2CH3 and Si-CH=CH2, and ethyl silicone rubber was successfully synthesized; at the same time, δ=5.6-6.2 is the chemical shift of hydrogen on Si-CH=CH2, and δ=0.7-0.8 and 2.0-2.1 are the chemical shifts of hydrogen at the α and β positions on Si-CH2CH2CF3, respectively, indicating that -CH2CH2CF3 was successfully introduced into ethyl silicone rubber, and ethyl fluorosilicone rubber was successfully synthesized; further verification by NMR integration shows that the actual content is consistent with the feed ratio.
[0143] As shown in Table 1, the Tg of ethyl silicone rubber gradually decreases with the increase of ethyl content. When the ethyl content is 25%, the Tg is close to -130℃, and no crystallization occurs. There are no other transition temperatures. Figure 2 The figures are DSC diagrams of the examples and comparative examples. When fluorine-containing groups are introduced into ethyl styrene silicone rubber, the glass transition temperature of the resulting ethyl fluorostyrene silicone rubber increases. This is because when large fluorine-containing groups are introduced into the main chain or side chain of silicon oxide, they are randomly distributed with dimethylsiloxane, and the proportion of single bonds that can rotate internally on the main chain is relatively reduced. This disrupts the regularity of the general ethyl silicone rubber macromolecule, reduces the flexibility of the molecular chain, and thus increases the glass transition temperature and deteriorates the low-temperature performance.
[0144] like Figure 3 Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on ethylstyrene silicone rubber and ethylfluorostyrene silicone rubber. It was found that with increasing ethyl content, the number of dimethyl repeating units decreased, and the overall trend was a decline in high-temperature resistance. (20% ethyl content → T) 50wt% ≈380℃, 25% ethyl content → T 50wt%The temperature is approximately 400 ℃, with an overall temperature above 370 ℃. When fluorine groups are introduced into ethyl styrene silicone rubber, its heat resistance is improved. When the ethyl content is the same, the higher the fluorine content, the stronger the high-temperature performance. At the same time, the mass residual percentage of ethyl silicone rubber is low, close to 0. This is because ethyl silicone rubber undergoes main chain unwinding degradation in a nitrogen atmosphere, causing the main chain to break and producing volatile cyclic low-molecular-weight compounds. Therefore, its weight loss rate is high and the mass residual percentage is relatively low.
[0145] The fluorinated silicone rubber (i.e., ethyl fluorosilicone rubber) prepared in Examples 1-7 and the ethyl silicone rubber prepared in Comparative Examples 1-4 were subjected to thermo-oxidative aging tests according to standard GB / T 9871 2008 (aged at 150℃ for 72h and at 200℃ for 7d, respectively), and the tensile strength retention rate and elongation at break retention rate were determined. The test results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0149]
[0150] As can be seen from the data in Tables 2 and 3, introducing fluorinated monomers into ethyl silicone rubber can effectively improve the aging resistance and mechanical properties of ethyl silicone rubber; that is, the present invention introduces fluorinated monomers into the structure of ethyl silicone rubber, thereby improving the aging resistance and mechanical properties of the rubber.
[0151] This invention focuses on synthesizing a variety of fluorinated monomers, providing more molecular structures and application ranges for ethyl fluororubber. It also verifies the successful synthesis of ethyl silicone rubber, the initial thermal decomposition temperature and glass transition temperature of the raw rubber, and the heat aging and oxidation resistance of the vulcanized rubber. Furthermore, compared to existing technologies, this invention introduces methyl, phenyl, ethyl, fluorinated groups, and vinyl groups into silicone rubber, preparing a series of ethyl silicone rubbers containing multiple groups in different proportions. Introducing multiple groups into the silicone rubber increases the steric hindrance of the resulting fluorinated silicone rubber, effectively improving its thermal stability, thus giving it better aging resistance and mechanical properties. Simultaneously, the catalyst used in this invention is a self-made novel catalyst, which can effectively reduce the small molecule rings generated during the chain growth stage of anionic ring-opening polymerization, thereby promoting the reaction and increasing the product yield.
