Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of surfactants, and particularly to a polymer surfactant with the function of stabilizing hydrogen peroxide and a synthesis method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Surfactants are widely used in the field of cotton fabric cleaning. Cotton fiber is a natural fiber, and the fiber contains a large amount of impurities such as waxy substances, pectin, cottonseed hulls, pigments, etc., which need to be removed before dyeing. Generally, in the impurity removal process, surfactants, hydrogen peroxide stabilizers, chelating agents, caustic soda, and hydrogen peroxide are required for scouring. Among them, the hydrogen peroxide stabilizer controls the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to prevent the generation of holes in the fabric. Traditional surfactants generally only have the performance of removing impurities and do not have the function of stabilizing hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide stabilizers have excellent hydrogen peroxide stabilizing functions, and the scouring process requires the use of surfactants in combination with hydrogen peroxide stabilizers. However, due to the poor compatibility between traditional surfactants and hydrogen peroxide stabilizers, they are generally added to the process formula as two separate auxiliaries for scouring.

[0003] In patent CN115215952A, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO9 and acrylic acid are used to prepare fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether acrylate for use as a polymer thickener. CN114874385A uses fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO9, acrylic acid, and sodium styrene sulfonate to prepare an anionic-nonionic polymer surfactant. The poly-fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether acrylate prepared from fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO9 and acrylic acid in CN109234046A can be preferably used in the daily chemical field and has excellent detergency, thickening, and foam stabilizing properties. The above-mentioned disclosed patents all use acrylic acid as the reaction esterification raw material. Although excellent properties have been achieved in the fields of thickeners, the preparation of anionic surfactants, and the daily chemical field, due to the absence of a hydroxyl group at the α-position of acrylic acid, none of them have the function of stabilizing hydrogen peroxide. CN106758392A uses a reactive non-ionic surfactant for a thickener for dye printing. The non-ionic is an ester obtained by esterifying fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO9 and α-hydroxy acrylic acid, and no further polymerization is carried out, and it does not have the function of stabilizing hydrogen peroxide. Summary of the Invention
