Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of polyurethanes, and particularly relates to a bio-based polyurethane and its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] Bio-based polyurethanes are a type of polyurethane material that applies cellulose, starch, vegetable oils and their derivatives to the preparation of bio-polyols, which can reduce the consumption of petrochemical resources and environmental pollution, and reduce the costs of preparation and application.

[0003] In practical applications, polyurethane coatings commonly used in multiple fields such as construction, automobiles, and household furnishings need to have excellent adhesion, hardness or toughness, wear resistance, and chemical resistance. However, due to the high polarity of polyurethane molecules, they have strong adsorption properties, are easily contaminated, and are not conducive to cleaning. Therefore, it is necessary to modify polyurethanes to achieve the effects of surface protection and anti-fouling.

[0004] Generally speaking, it is possible to reduce the wetting ability of pollutants adhering to its surface by generating complex surface microstructures or introducing low surface energy chemistry, such as mimicking the surface structure of lotus leaves or using silicon-based or fluorine-based components as lubricating components. Although fluorides can endow the coating with good anti-fouling performance, their bioaccumulation is a major environmental problem. The main chain of silicon is a linear structure of silicon oxygen, and the side groups are decorated with a large number of non-polar methyl groups, making the silicon component have low roughness and glass transition temperature, and have good flexibility at low temperatures. The structural characteristics of its low surface energy can reduce the adhesion of pollutants to the surface, so it is an environmentally friendly lubricating component.

[0005] However, currently, for silicon-based polyurethanes, most of them introduce silicon-based groups into the ends of macromolecular chains through capping, but the amount of silicon-based groups introduced by the capping reaction is limited. Or siloxanes, etc. are directly introduced into the polyurethane main chain as diols. The mobility of the silicon-based groups in this structure is limited, which in turn affects their anti-fouling activity; and when siloxanes, etc. are directly used as polyols to react with isocyanates, there will be unreacted free monomer organosilicons, and their compatibility with polyurethanes is poor, and phase separation is likely to occur. Phase separation has a significant impact on the transparency of polyurethane coatings, the stable dispersion of pigments, etc.

[0006] Therefore, developing new bio-based polyurethanes has important significance and great economic value. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the primary object of this application is to provide a bio-based polyurethane, which is prepared based on bio-based silicon-based polyester polyols, and suspends siloxane anti-fouling groups on the side chains of polyurethane macromolecules, thereby endowing the bio-based polyurethane with excellent anti-fouling and hydrophobic properties, and the formed polyurethane slurry has excellent pigment dispersion stability.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] One aspect of the present application discloses a bio-based polyurethane, which is prepared from a bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol, a diisocyanate, and a bio-based chain extender with a molar ratio of 1.0: (3.0 - 5.0): (2.0 - 4.0);

[0010] Wherein, the bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol is prepared by an esterification reaction using a bio-based dibasic acid and a mono-terminal dihydroxy siloxane as raw materials.

[0011] Another aspect of the present application discloses a method for preparing the bio-based polyurethane as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0012] Mix and disperse the bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol and the bio-based chain extender evenly at 30 - 50 °C, add the diisocyanate and a catalyst, react at 60 - 80 °C for 6 - 10 hours, dilute and adjust the viscosity to a solid content of 25 ± 1% and a viscosity of 30 - 60 Pa·s / 25 °C to obtain the bio-based polyurethane.

[0013] Another aspect of the present application discloses a polyurethane film containing the bio-based polyurethane as described above.

[0014] Advantages of the present application:

[0015] The bio-based polyurethane in the present application is prepared from a bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol and a bio-based diol. Among them, the bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol is derived from dibasic acids of renewable biomass and silicon oxygen resources with rich reserves, having significant environmental protection and cost advantages. First, the mono-terminal dihydroxy siloxane is prepared into a bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol, and a water-repellent and stain-resistant siloxane chain is suspended on the side chain. The obtained bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol has reactive hydroxyl groups at both ends of the main chain. Using it to prepare the bio-based polyurethane can obtain excellent anti-fouling and water-repellent effects; and this bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol is liquid at room temperature, having obvious compatibility advantages. At the same time, this bio-based polyurethane can endow the polyurethane slurry with good pigment dispersion stability, and the mechanical properties of the polyurethane are improved; a surface brush-like anti-fouling structure is formed in the polyurethane coating, and the anti-fouling effect is better than that of a polyurethane coating with double-terminal mono-hydroxy groups. Specific Embodiments

[0016] The embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. The technical solutions in the following described embodiments are exemplary and only possible technical implementations of the present application, not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of the present application to obtain other embodiments without creative labor, and these embodiments are also within the protection scope of the present application.

[0018] The bio-based polyurethane in the present application is prepared by reacting a bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol and a bio-based chain extender with a diisocyanate. Among them, both the bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol and the bio-based chain extender are raw material components derived from renewable biomass. Therefore, it can reduce the consumption of petrochemical resources and environmental pollution, and reduce the cost of polyurethane preparation and application.

[0019] In the present application, the bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol is used as a raw material for the bio-based polyurethane, and a water-repellent and stain-resistant siloxane chain is suspended on the side chain. The siloxane chain is a linear structure of silicon and oxygen, and the side groups are decorated with a large number of non-polar methyl groups, making the silicon component have a low roughness and a glass transition temperature, and having good flexibility at low temperatures. Its low surface energy structural characteristics can reduce the adhesion of pollutants to the surface. In the present application, the siloxane chain is suspended on the side chain of the polyurethane macromolecule, so it has better mobility and can more effectively exert its anti-fouling effect, endowing the bio-based polyurethane with excellent anti-fouling and water-repellent effects. At the same time, the bio-based polyurethane can also endow the polyurethane slurry with good pigment dispersion stability, overcome the problem of phase separation, and improve the mechanical properties.

[0090] First, mono-terminal di-hydroxy siloxane (50 g with a molecular weight of 2000) and isocyanate MDI (10 g) are mixed and dispersed evenly at 35°C, and reacted at 65°C for 1 h to obtain an organosilicon polyurethane prepolymer.

[0091] Performance Test

[0092] 1. The bio-based polyurethanes in Examples 4 - 9 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3 are made into polyurethane films, that is, the bio-based polyurethanes in Examples 4 - 9 and Comparative Examples 1 - 3 are scraped on a glass plate and treated in an oven at 130°C for 3 hours to prepare a dry film with a thickness of 0.1 mm. After cooling and standing at room temperature for 72 hours, the mechanical properties, anti-fouling and water-repellent properties are tested. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0093] Table 3 Test Results of Mechanical Properties, Anti-fouling and Water-repellent Properties of Polyurethane Films

[0094]

[0095] Among them, each test item is carried out according to the following method:

[0096] (1)The tensile property test was carried out according to the methods of GB / T 1040.1-2018 and GB / T 1040.3-2006.

[0097] (2)The water contact angle was measured according to the standard of GB / T 30693-2014.

[0098] (3)Anti-fouling performance test: A 30-mm square pollution spot was smeared on a square specimen with a side length of 200 mm, placed at room temperature for 24 h, wiped vigorously with a paper napkin (60 back-and-forth movements within 2 min), and the evaluation grade was carried out according to GB / T 251-2008. The polluting agents were tomato ketchup, gasoline engine oil, freshly squeezed orange juice, instant coffee, tea, and red wine.

[0099] As can be seen from Table 3, in Examples 4-9, polyols were prepared by the esterification reaction of mono-terminal dihydroxy siloxane and bio-based succinic acid. At the same time, the hydroxyl groups with reactive activity were located at both ends of the main chain, and the water-repellent and anti-fouling silicone oxygen chains were suspended on the side chains. Moreover, it was liquid at room temperature and had obvious compatibility advantages. When it was used as a polyol to prepare bio-based polyurethane, the mechanical properties were improved, and the bio-based silicon-based polyester polyol was introduced into the polyurethane to form a surface brush-like anti-fouling structure, with the water contact angle above 113°, and the anti-fouling and water-repellent effects were excellent. Generally speaking, the bio-based polyurethane in this application has excellent anti-fouling and water-repellent properties, high mechanical properties, and good comprehensive performance. In Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, due to the unmodified hydroxy siloxane directly reacting with isocyanate, there were obvious phase separation problems.

[0100] 2. The bio-based polyurethanes in Examples 4-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were formulated into slurries according to the following method:

[0101] Weigh 120 g of bio-based polyurethane, 60 g of DMF solvent, 20 g of PU white, 0.5 g of PU black, 0.5 g of PU yellow, 0.5 g of PU red, and 1 g of TB030 blue, and stir in a blender for 5 minutes to disperse evenly to obtain a slurry.

[0102] By allowing the above-prepared slurry to stand at room temperature for the same time to observe the uniformity of the pigment at different time points, as well as whether there is flocculation, floating, stratification, etc. The results are shown in Table 4.
