Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials, specifically relating to a scratch-repairing polycarbonate and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polycarbonate is a versatile thermoplastic engineering plastic used in various fields such as automotive, electronics, medical devices, aerospace, and construction. As one of the five major engineering plastics, the domestic and international demand for polycarbonate has been increasing in recent years.

[0003] Although the demand for polycarbonate is increasing year by year, its lifespan is short due to its poor scratch resistance, low surface hardness, and susceptibility to mechanical scratches during use. In applications where high aesthetics and integrity of the product surface are required, such as mobile phone casings, monitor casings, and automotive interiors, the use of polycarbonate is limited. Therefore, developing polycarbonate with self-healing scratch-resistant properties is essential.

[0004] Currently, there is relatively little research on polycarbonate with scratch self-healing capabilities. The usual approach involves modifying the surface of the polycarbonate material and adding a surface coating. Patent CN111548731A adds a modified silica sol coating to the polycarbonate surface, giving it room-temperature self-healing properties. However, the coating is applied to the polycarbonate surface by spraying, making it difficult to guarantee uniformity and resulting in a lack of durability; it is prone to peeling off after prolonged use. Patent CN110281613 discloses a method for preparing a polycarbonate board with self-healing capabilities by applying an anti-fogging coating to the surface of the polycarbonate board. However, its preparation method is cumbersome, and the coating is prone to peeling off.

[0005] The method of adding a coating to the surface of polycarbonate matrix to enable polycarbonate to have scratch self-healing function has the following problems: the coating process has high requirements, which increases the cost; the uniformity of the coating is difficult to guarantee; the coating is at risk of peeling off and failing after long-term use; adding a coating causes changes in the thickness of polycarbonate, which limits its application in application scenarios with high dimensional requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0006] One objective of this invention is to provide a polycarbonate with scratch self-healing function. This polycarbonate has a stable molecular structure and chemical properties, exhibits excellent scratch self-healing performance, and its preparation process is simple and easily achievable for continuous industrial production.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives and technical effects, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A scratch-healing polycarbonate, the polycarbonate comprising the following structure:

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 in the polycarbonate is a residue of phenol and / or p-tert-butylphenol, and X is a C-containing residue. 2-4 hydroxyalkyl groups containing NH and 2 C atoms 2-4 N- and C-containing hydroxyalkyl groups 2-4 Hydroxyalkyl and C 1-10 One or more of the alkyl group N.

[0012] This invention involves a condensation polymerization reaction between a bis(triazine)-aminobis(diphenylethylene)-disulfonic acid compound and phosgene and a compound containing bisphenol hydroxyl groups during polymerization. Relying on free radical polymerization via carbon-carbon double bonds, segments of the bis(triazine)-aminobis(diphenylethylene)-disulfonic acid compound are embedded into polycarbonate molecules, thus designing and modifying the PC molecular structure. This process results in a stable molecular structure and chemical properties, solving problems such as poor uniformity, additive precipitation, and high secondary processing costs associated with traditional coating modification methods. Furthermore, by covalently linking the bis(triazine)-aminobis(diphenylethylene)-disulfonic acid compound to polycarbonate molecules, hydrogen bonds, coordination bonds, ionic bonds, and triazine heterocyclic structures are introduced into the polycarbonate molecule. This combination of hydrogen bonds, coordination bonds, ionic bonds, and shape memory effects enables self-healing through multiple dynamic reversible crosslinking processes.
