Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a surface grafting technology and a sol-gel technology. PVA is used to carry out surface grafting on aluminum diethylphosphinate (ADP) to obtain g-ADP. Then, the sol-gel technology is used to carry out surface modification on the g-ADP, and a layer of three-dimensional space network structure is attached to the surface of the g-ADP to prepare Modified-ADP. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum diethylphosphinate (ADP) is a green and environmentally friendly organic phosphorus flame retardant. Its chemical structure is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] Due to its special structure, ADP can play a flame retardant role in both the gas phase and the condensed phase. The metal cations in ADP can prevent the volatilization of flame retardants and suppress smoke, which together give the polymer matrix flame retardant properties. ADP has attracted widespread attention due to its high flame retardant efficiency, low smoke and non-toxicity, good thermal stability, and high phosphorus content. It can be widely used in thermoplastic materials such as PA6, PA66, PBT, and in the flame retardant modification of fiber fabrics, and has good prospects. However, it also has some shortcomings, such as poor hydrophilicity of ADP, poor compatibility with water-based substrates, uneven dispersion, and easy demulsification. In order to solve the problems of ADP, ADP needs to be surface modified.

[0005] PVA is a linear polyhydroxy organic polymer that is non-toxic, tasteless and non-irritating. Due to its good biocompatibility and low cost, it is an ideal green and environmentally friendly material. PVA has strong polarity and is easy to form intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, so it has a high degree of crystallinity. In addition, the polyhydroxy structure in PVA can undergo esterification, etherification and acetalization reactions. The chemical properties of hydroxyl groups are very active and are easy to react with other active groups to form stable covalent bonds and cross-linked network structures. Finally, PVA also has strong adhesion and is a good adhesive.

[0006] Sol-gel technology is a process of hydrolysis and polycondensation of metal alkoxides to form a uniform, stable and transparent sol system, which is then gelled to ultimately obtain a network structure of oxides or other compounds. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the problems that ADP is too hydrophobic, difficult to disperse in aqueous materials, poor compatibility, and easy to demulsify, the present invention uses PVA to crosslink and modify ADP, generates polyhydroxy substances on the surface of ADP, and then uses sol-gel technology on the surface of g-ADP, uses TEOS or other silicon sources as precursors, and undergoes hydrolysis and polycondensation under certain conditions to jointly generate a silicon-oxygen-silicon and silicon-oxygen-carbon spatial network structure on the surface of g-ADP and the hydroxyl groups in PVA to prepare Modified-ADP, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the hydrophilicity of ADP.

[0018] Preferably, the silicate is TEOS;

[0019] Preferably, the molar ratio of silicate: anhydrous ethanol: water is 1:2:4;

[0021] Step 2-2, adjusting the pH of the dispersed solution to 2-5 to fully hydrolyze the silicate;

[0022] Preferably, the pH adjusting agent is a 0.1M-1M HCl solution, most preferably a 0.1M HCl solution;

[0023] Preferably, the hydrolysis temperature is 25-90°C, and the hydrolysis time is 2-24h; most preferably, the hydrolysis temperature is 60°C, and the hydrolysis time is 4h.

[0043] Example 5

[0044] The performance test of the modified ADP obtained in Example 3 was further compared with that of pure ADP:

[0045] Since the highly hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as a crosslinker to carry out surface grafting modification on ADP, and then the g-ADP was modified by sol-gel technology, a spatial network structure of silicon-oxygen-silicon and silicon-oxygen-carbon was generated on the surface of ADP, which greatly improved the hydrophilicity of ADP. The schematic diagram of the two-dimensional structure of modified ADP can be found in Figure 1 , see the three-dimensional structure diagram Figure 2 The morphology of ADP before and after modification was observed by electron microscopy. Figure 3 As shown, Figure a and Figure b are pure ADP, and Figure c and Figure d are modified ADP of Example 3. According to the comparison between Figure a and Figure c, it is found that the pure ADP powder has a fine particle size and a uniform and delicate surface (as shown in Figure a); the modified ADP has a rough surface and the particle size is significantly coarsened (as shown in Figure c), indicating that the ADP is successfully modified by the method disclosed in the present invention to obtain a modified ADP product. Figure b is an enlarged view of pure ADP, and it can be seen that ADP is cross-linked, which may be because the ADP particle size is too fine and agglomerated together; Figure d is an enlarged view of the modified ADP, and it can be seen that the modified ADP particles are distinct, and the local accumulation of products leads to larger particles. According to the comparison diagram before and after the modification of ADP, it can be concluded that the ADP is successfully modified by the method disclosed in the present invention.

[0046] A comparison experiment of the surface complete wetting time of ADP before and after modification was conducted. The modified ADP obtained in Example 3 can be completely wetted after stirring for 30 seconds, while pure ADP cannot be wetted even after prolonged stirring. It can be seen that the wetting time of the modified ADP is greatly shortened compared with that of pure ADP.

[0047] In order to further verify the hydrophilicity of ADP before and after modification and its compatibility in aqueous substrates, a 10 wt% ADP aqueous polyurethane solution was prepared to compare the dispersion of ADP in aqueous polyurethane before and after modification. The comparison diagram is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it can be found that pure ADP has poor compatibility with water-based polyurethane and has strong hydrophobic properties, while the modified ADP obtained in Example 3 can be quickly dispersed in water-based polyurethane, has good compatibility with water-based polyurethane, has greatly improved hydrophilic properties, and does not demulsify in water-based polyurethane emulsion.

[0048] Finally, the modified ADP product obtained in Example 3 and pure ADP were subjected to TGA test. According to the test results, the modified ADP has better thermal stability. The TGA results are as follows: Figure 5 shown.
