Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of light-responsive materials, and more specifically relates to a recyclable and self-healing polyurethane silicone resin with excellent photocuring and light-responsive properties and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyurethane silicone resin has a large number of silicon-oxygen bonds in its structure, which endows it with advantages such as heat resistance, cold resistance, electrical insulation, and stable chemical resistance, and is widely used in many fields. However, during long-term use, the material will inevitably be damaged, which makes it unable to effectively perform its functions and even causes huge economic losses. Self-healing materials can repair the damage suffered by the material during use, and while ensuring the use performance of the material, can effectively extend its service life.

[0003] Self-healing materials can be classified into external aid type self-healing materials and intrinsic type self-healing materials according to their repair mechanisms. External aid type self-healing materials embed microcapsules or microvascular networks inside or on the surface of the material. When the material is damaged, the repair agent in the microcapsules or microvasculars is released and reacts with the catalyst to achieve the repair of the material. The number of repair times of external aid type self-healing materials is usually limited, which will have a certain impact on the service life of the material. Intrinsic type self-healing materials rely on their own chemical structure or physical properties to achieve self-healing. Such materials usually contain reversible chemical bonds (such as dynamic covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, metal coordination bonds, etc.). When the material is damaged, these reversible bonds can be re-formed to achieve self-healing. The number of repair times of intrinsic type self-healing materials is more than that of external aid type self-healing materials.

[0004] At present, the research on self-healing mainly focuses on thermally responsive self-healing. However, the repair range of thermally responsive self-healing is limited, and at the same time, a relatively high temperature may damage the structure of the material itself. In addition, the cost of polyurethane silicone materials is high and it is difficult to degrade, which does not conform to the concept of green development and sustainable development. Therefore, it is urgent to recycle and utilize polyurethane silicone materials. And the polyurethane silicone materials obtained by conventional material recycling methods are difficult to reach the use performance of the raw materials, reducing the use value of the recycled materials. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a recyclable and self-healing polyurethane silicone resin while ensuring excellent photocuring and light-responsive properties. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a recyclable and self-healing polyurethane silicone resin with excellent photocuring and light-responsive properties and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, and ensure that the performance of the self-healing polyurethane silicone resin after recycling and reuse is equivalent to or even higher than the initial performance.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention: Provide a recyclable and self-healing polyurethane silicone resin, which comprises the following raw materials for preparation in molar parts:

[0008] 3 to 10 mmol parts of polymerization monomer, 0.02 to 0.05 mol parts of diisocyanate, 0.01 to 0.03 mol parts of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) silicone oil, 0.01 to 0.03 mol parts of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and 1 to 5 mmol parts of triethanolamine;

[0009] The polymerization monomer includes propanol-substituted azobenzene monomer and hydroxyethyl acrylate, and the mass ratio of the propanol-substituted azobenzene monomer to hydroxyethyl acrylate is 2.2:1 to 1:1.06;

[0010] The raw materials for preparing the recyclable and self-healing polyurethane silicone resin further include a catalyst and an inhibitor; the dosage of the catalyst is preferably 0.2 to 0.6% of the total mass of the polymerization monomer, diisocyanate, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) silicone oil, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and triethanolamine, and more preferably 0.4 to 0.5% of the total mass of the polymerization monomer, diisocyanate, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) silicone oil, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and triethanolamine; the dosage of the inhibitor is preferably 0.1 to 0.5% of the total mass of the polymerization monomer, diisocyanate, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) silicone oil, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and triethanolamine, and more preferably 0.3 to 0.4% of the total mass of the polymerization monomer, diisocyanate, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) silicone oil, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide, and triethanolamine.

[0011] Through the specific selection of raw materials, the present invention ensures that the prepared polyurethane organosilicon resin has excellent photocuring and light-responsive properties, and also ensures that the properties of the self-healing polyurethane organosilicon resin after recycling are equivalent to or even higher than those at the initial stage. Among them, the diisocyanate reacts with other raw materials containing hydroxyl groups to form urethane groups, which act together with other hard and soft segments in the material, thereby ensuring that the synthesized polyurethane material has excellent wear resistance, high elasticity, and good designability. Both hydroxyethyl acrylate and propanol-substituted azobenzene monomer are compounds with hydroxyl groups at the ends, and the double bonds therein can quickly participate in free radical polymerization reactions to form polymers, making the reaction more complete. The combined use of hydroxyethyl acrylate and propanol-substituted azobenzene monomer can obtain curability. Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide makes the resin structure contain disulfide bonds, and the disulfide bond structure can ensure that the resin has more excellent self-healing and recyclable properties. Triethanolamine is a tri-terminal hydroxyl monomer, which can react with the molecular chain of linear polyurethane organosilicon resin to form a symmetric branched structure, and has a lower viscosity compared with linear polyurethane organosilicon resin materials of the same molecular weight, which is more convenient for the subsequent processing of the material. The silicon-oxygen main chain structure of bis-hydroxypropyl-terminated silicone oil provides the siloxane bond structure in the material. Through the rearrangement reaction of siloxane bonds under high temperature and alkali-catalyzed conditions, the complete upgrade and recycling of the material can be achieved, and the performance of the polyurethane organosilicon resin after recycling treatment is higher than that at the initial stage.

[0012] By controlling the amounts of the catalyst and inhibitor, the present invention can ensure sufficient reaction, improve production efficiency, and avoid gelation in the system. Excessive catalyst amount will cause gelation in the system, while too low amount will result in long reaction time and reduced production efficiency. Too low inhibitor amount will lead to poor inhibition effect and gelation in the system, and too high amount will slow down the photocuring reaction of the resin or cause incomplete curing.

[0013] Preferably, the preparation of the propanol-substituted azobenzene monomer includes the following steps:

The liquid mixture after the reaction was filtered while hot to remove potassium carbonate, and the filtrate was subjected to rotary evaporation to obtain a crude azo product, which was dissolved in a solution of methanol and water in a volume ratio of 2:1 and recrystallized to obtain yellow propanol substituted azobenzene.

[0078] Comparative Example 2

[0079] This comparative example provides the preparation of a polyurethane organosilicon resin, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0080] The difference from Example 2 is that "0.58 g (5 mmol) of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 1.28 g (5 mmol) of the propanol-substituted azobenzene prepared in Example 1" used is replaced with "12.56 g (10 mmol) of the propanol-substituted azobenzene prepared in Example 1", and the others are the same as in Example 2.

[0081] Effect Verification Example 1

[0082] The resins prepared in Examples 2 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were made into photo-responsive self-healing coatings and cured splines, and the preparation methods are as follows:

[0083] The resins prepared in Examples 2 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were respectively mixed with photoinitiator 1173 (photoinitiator 1173 accounted for 4% of the resin mass), and were rapidly stirred to disperse evenly for standby.

[0084] Preparation of photo-responsive self-healing coating: The above-mentioned uniformly dispersed mixture was placed on a glass slide and scraped evenly with a 250-μm film applicator, and then placed at room temperature to evaporate the solvent completely, and was photocured with an LED ultraviolet lamp (30 s) to obtain a photo-responsive self-healing coating.

[0085] Preparation of cured spline: The above-mentioned uniformly dispersed mixture was poured into a dumbbell-shaped mold, the solvent was evaporated completely, and was photocured with an LED ultraviolet lamp (radiation intensity of 800 mW / cm 2 ) (1 min) to obtain a cured spline.

[0086] The photo-responsive self-healing coatings and cured splines prepared in this effect verification example were subjected to performance tests, and the specific test methods are as follows:

[0087] 1. Stress-strain test:

[0088] The cured splines were tested with reference to the standard of GB / T 1040-2006, and the results are as Figure 3 shown.

[0089] 2. Self-healing performance test:

[0090] Use a scalpel to gently make a clearly visible scratch on the light-responsive self-healing coating. Place the sample under an LED ultraviolet lamp for irradiation (radiation intensity: 2100 mW / cm 2 ). After the light-responsive self-healing coating cools down, use the 5× objective lens of an MP41 polarizing microscope to observe and photograph the self-healing process of the light-responsive self-healing coating, so as to study the self-healing behavior of the polyurethane organosilicon resin with different azobenzene structure contents. The results are as Figure 4 shown.

[0091] Figure 3 Figure 220 shows the stress-strain curves of the cured splines prepared from the polyurethane organosilicon resins obtained in Examples 2 to 5 and Comparative Example 1. Figure 4 Figure 224 shows the test results of the self-healing performance of the polyurethane organosilicon resins obtained in Examples 2 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2. It can be seen from Figure 3 and Figure 4 that during the preparation of the polyurethane organosilicon resin, as the content of carbon-carbon double bonds gradually increases, the tensile strength of the cured splines gradually increases. Among them, for the resin prepared in Comparative Example 2, the end groups are all azobenzene structures and there are no carbon-carbon double bonds in the molecular structure, and the resin cannot be cured and is in a viscous liquid state, making it difficult to conduct stress-strain performance tests. As the content of azobenzene structures in the resin increases, the repair time of the scratches on the coating gradually shortens. Among them, the resin in Comparative Example 1 does not contain azobenzene structures and has no light-responsive effect, so it is difficult for the coating to achieve self-healing in a short time.

[0109] Comparative Example 3

[0110] This comparative example provides the preparation of a conventional silicone resin with the same silicon hydride content as in Example 6, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0111] Conventionally, vinyl silicone oil with a vinyl content of 0.2 wt.% was mixed uniformly with 0.103 g of hydrogen-containing silicone oil (silicon-hydrogen content of 0.36 wt.%) and 0.015 g of ethanol-modified chloroplatinic acid catalyst, and cured at 150 °C for 30 min to obtain a conventional silicone resin as a comparative sample.

[0112] Effect Verification Example 2

[0113] The upgraded recycled polyurethane silicone materials obtained in Examples 6 - 10 and the silicone resin prepared in Comparative Example 3 were made into cured splines. The preparation method is as follows:

[0114] The upgraded recycled polyurethane silicone materials obtained in Examples 6 - 10 and the silicone resin prepared in Comparative Example 3 were respectively mixed with photoinitiator 1173 (photoinitiator 1173 accounted for 4% of the resin mass), and rapidly stirred to disperse evenly for standby. The above-mentioned uniformly dispersed mixture was poured into a dumbbell-shaped mold, and the solvent was completely volatilized. Then, it was subjected to photocuring (1 min) using an LED ultraviolet lamp (radiation intensity of 800 mW / cm 2 ) to obtain cured splines.

[0115] Performance tests were carried out on the cured splines prepared in this effect verification example. The specific test methods are as follows:

[0116] Stress-strain test:

[0117] The cured splines were tested with reference to the standard of GB / T 1040 - 2006, and the results are as Figure 6 shown.

[0118] Figure 6 are the stress-strain curves of the upgraded recycled polyurethane silicone materials obtained in Examples 6 - 10 and the silicone materials obtained in Comparative Example 3. From the Figure 6 and Figure 3 data comparison, it can be seen that the tensile strength of the upgraded recycled polyurethane silicone materials prepared in this invention is higher than that of the corresponding raw materials (the polyurethane silicone resins prepared in Examples 2 - 5), and is much greater than that of the conventional silicone materials with the same vinyl content. It shows that the polyurethane silicone resin of this invention can achieve the upgrade recycling of the resin, and the performance of the upgraded recycled material is better than that of the material before recycling.
