Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an additive with bactericidal and flame-retardant functions, belonging to a functional additive for polymer products. Background Art
[0002] The development of polymer products with bactericidal function has become another hot spot in the industry. At present, the main ways to make polymer products acquire bactericidal function are through monomer copolymerization modification and adding bactericides. The latter has become a common method due to its wide application range and quick effect. The bactericides that can be added to polymer products mainly include inorganic antibacterial agents and organic antibacterial agents. Inorganic antibacterial agents include nanomaterials of specific metals and their compounds and nanocarbon materials, such as nanosilver, nanocopper, graphene, etc. Their scope of application is often limited, and due to limited compatibility with polymers, the addition amount is not high and there are problems of loss, and there are risks such as environmental damage. Organic antibacterial agents mainly include cationic antibacterial agents containing quaternary ammonium salts, such as DC-5700, which are used for the surface treatment of polymer products such as cellulose with active hydroxyl groups and amino groups. There are currently few varieties and cannot meet the strong market demand. In recent years, polyguanidine disinfectants have been widely used in the sterilization of various water bodies due to their advantages such as high efficiency, non-toxicity, and a wide spectrum of bactericidal activity. They have antibacterial effects on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi. The -NH and -NH2 in the guanidine group can dissociate into ammonium cations in water, bind to microbial cell membrane proteins, inhibit the synthesis of liposomes in the membrane, cause bacterial apoptosis, and achieve sterilization. Polyguanidine is often made into small molecule salts for sale. It is a small molecule inorganic acid salt of a series of oligomers with guanidine groups on the main chain of the molecule. The main commercial varieties include polyhexamethylene monoguanidine, polyhexamethylene biguanide, and polyaminopropyl biguanide. The small molecule inorganic acids are mainly hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and gluconic acid. Polyguanidine salts are easily soluble in water, while pure polyguanidine is easily disturbed by environmental factors and cannot exist stably in solid polymer products. Therefore, water-insoluble polyguanidine derivatives are developed to allow them to stay in polymer products for a long time, which is expected to obtain efficient bactericides that can be added to polymer products, giving polymer products long-term bactericidal functions. In the field of polymer synthesis, organic acids and organic ammonia are often used to react to prepare water-insoluble salts, such as the salt-forming reaction of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. Therefore, a water-insoluble organic acid-polyguanidine salt can be obtained by reacting an organic acid with a large hydrophobic part with polyguanidine to form a salt. At the same time, guanidine-containing compounds themselves have flame retardancy and can be used to make water-soluble flame retardant products, and polyguanidine is naturally flame retardant due to its high density of NH groups. If an organic acid, a synthetic precursor of an organic flame retardant, is selected to treat polyguanidine, a polymer additive with a composite flame retardant and bactericidal function can be prepared, which can be used to prepare polymer products with long-lasting bactericidal and flame retardant functions.
[0003] Therefore, the present invention selects a reactive flame retardant precursor organic acid and a water-soluble polyguanidine salt for salt-forming reaction to obtain a water-insoluble organic acid-polyguanidine salt, which is applied to the production and processing of polymers to obtain a polymer product with long-lasting antibacterial and flame-retardant functions.
