Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and particularly relates to a bio-based polyesteramide elastomer, foam and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nylon (PA) is a nitrogen-containing heterochain polymer with polyamide characteristic groups (-NHCO-) in the main chain, and is called one of the five general engineering plastics together with polycarbonate, polyoxymethylene, polybutylene terephthalate and polyphenylene ether. PA has excellent properties such as wear resistance, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. With the continuous emergence of high-value-added modified products, it is widely used in the fields of electronic appliances, automotive industry, textile equipment, etc. However, PA also has disadvantages such as poor transparency, which limits its application range. And general transparent materials cannot meet the occasions with high requirements for physical and mechanical properties. Moreover, most of the raw materials used for synthesizing polyamides still come from the increasingly decreasing non-renewable petrochemical resources, and there are certain limitations in long-term use. Based on the defects of traditional PA, it is of great significance to study environmentally friendly bio-based transparent PA with excellent comprehensive properties.

[0003] 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is the only aromatic compound among the 12 bio-based platform compounds produced from sugars screened by the US Department of Energy. FDCA can undergo oxidation, reduction, amination and other reactions to obtain a variety of furan derivatives with application potential. Therefore, more and more researchers use FDCA and its derivatives to synthesize furan-based polyamides. However, in the prior art, most researchers' research on furan-based polyamides mainly focuses on their synthesis. The decarboxylation during the high-temperature process, the breakage of the furan ring and the inactivation of the active end groups of oligomers will result in low molecular weight, yellowing of the bio-based furan polyamide, and even the product itself may be toxic. Therefore, most 2,5-furanyl polyamides are synthesized after being methyl esterified and then used as raw materials. However, the small molecules to be removed from the methyl esterified product change from water to methanol, which requires high equipment requirements and is highly harmful.

[0004] Polymer foaming materials far exceed traditional solid polymer materials in terms of characteristics such as light weight, heat insulation, insulation, sound insulation, and buffering and shock absorption. They are widely used in fields such as aerospace, medical devices, automotive parts, packaging and sports equipment, and microelectronics. They are currently one of the most popular lightweight and high-performance materials. At present, the preparation of foaming materials is mainly divided into chemical foaming method and physical foaming method. Among them, in the chemical foaming process, there are many problems such as difficult reaction control, resulting in unstable local temperature, and the generation of gaseous products harmful to the environment. The physical foaming method is a way to prepare foaming materials by changing the solubility of physical blowing agents in the polymer system through physical principles. Among them, supercritical CO2 has a solubility similar to that of a liquid and a diffusion coefficient similar to that of a gas. Compared with chemical blowing agents and physical blowing agents harmful to the atmosphere such as freon, it has the characteristics of non-toxicity, non-flammability, environmental friendliness, easy availability, and low price, and is gradually being accepted by production.

[0005] Patent CN115746295A discloses a polyester amide with high strength, high toughness and high barrier properties; by adding a small amount of diamine segments for copolymerization, a polyester amide with high mechanical strength, high modulus and high barrier properties is prepared; however, the elongation at break of the material is less than 100%, and it does not belong to the elastomer material; at the same time, the application of the material in light transmission and foaming is not described.

[0006] Patent CN116425983A discloses a high impact resistant polyether ester amide material; a series of polyether amide materials are synthesized by copolymerizing an aliphatic cyclic polyester, an aliphatic polyether and an aliphatic diamine, and have a good elongation at break; however, the preparation of the aliphatic cyclic polyester monomer is relatively difficult, and since all the synthesized monomers are aliphatic, the tensile strength of the material is only about 20 MPa, which cannot meet the high strength requirements, and the application of the material in the fields of light transmittance and foaming is not mentioned.

[0007] Patent CN118834384A discloses a preparation method of a bio-based furan copolymer amide; its goal is to avoid side reactions and prepare a high molecular weight furan-based polyamide. By first synthesizing an amino-terminated furan diamine prepolymer and then polymerizing with a dicarboxylic acid to form a furan copolymer amide; however, the reaction needs to be prepared by a two-step method, and at the same time, during the polymerization process, it is necessary to sample and measure to determine the molecular weight and then carry out the next feeding reaction, and the glass transition temperature of the product is much higher than room temperature, and it does not belong to the elastomer material.

[0008] Patent CN116813969A discloses a foaming method of polyethylene terephthalate-2,5-furandicarboxylic acid glycol copolymer; by isothermal crystallization and quenching treatment to improve the melt strength of the material, a polyethylene terephthalate-2,5-furandicarboxylic acid glycol copolymer foaming material is prepared; however, in order to maintain a high degree of crystallization, isothermal crystallization treatment is required, and only solid-state foaming technology can be used. The foaming window is small, and it belongs to a plastic foaming material with a low rebound rate.

[0009] In this regard, the present invention relates to a high-strength, high-toughness, light-transmitting bio-based poly(ester amide) elastomer, foam and its preparation method, which improves the transparency, strength and elongation at break of 2,5-furanyl polyamide. By selecting monomers and adjusting their proportions, different requirements for strength, elasticity and light transmittance can be achieved. The material can be used to prepare high-strength and high-toughness bio-based poly(ester amide) foam, which obviously has positive practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The object of the present invention is to provide a bio-based poly(ester amide) elastomer, foam and its preparation method, with simple preparation process, controllable molecular structure, controllable strength and elasticity, obvious light-transmitting effect, capable of supercritical foaming and preparing foamed materials with uniform cell size and controllable foaming ratio.

[0011] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a preparation method of a bio-based poly(ester amide) elastomer, including: under the protection of an inert gas, mixing raw materials, a catalyst and other additives in proportion, carrying out an esterification reaction to generate oligomers, and then carrying out a polycondensation reaction under vacuum conditions to obtain the bio-based poly(ester amide) elastomer;

[0012] The raw materials include aliphatic diols, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, isophthalic acid, aliphatic diamines, and polyester diols;

[0013] The molar ratio of the aliphatic diamine to the total molar amount of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and isophthalic acid is (0.6~1.2):1;

[0014] The 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid accounts for 20~80 mol% of the sum of the molar amounts of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and isophthalic acid;

[0015] The dosage of the polyester diol accounts for 10~90 mol% of the total molar amount of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid and isophthalic acid;

[0016] The dosage of the catalyst is 0.02~0.5% of the total mass of the reaction monomers;

[0017] The dosage of other additives is 0.1~10% of the total mass of the reaction monomers.

[0018] Preferably, the aliphatic diamine is one or more of ethylenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine, 1,2-butanediamine, 1,3-butanediamine, 1,4-butanediamine, 1,5-pentanediamine.

[0019] Preferably, the polyester diol is one or more of polycarbonate diol, polyadipate diol, polycaprolactone diol.

[0020] Preferably, the number-average molecular weight of the polyester diol is 500~3000.

[0021] Preferably, the catalyst is one or more of zinc acetate, titanium dioxide, antimony trioxide, antimony acetate, aluminum acetylacetonate, dibutyltin oxide, stannous oxalate, tetrabutyl titanate, and isopropyl titanate.

[0022] Preferably, the other additives are one or more of antioxidants, UV stabilizers, release agents, pigments, lubricants, and matting agents.

[0023] Preferably, the inert gas is nitrogen or argon; the temperature of the esterification reaction is 150 - 280 °C, and the time of the esterification reaction is 1 - 6 h;

[0024] Preferably, the temperature of the esterification reaction is 150 - 280 °C, and the time of the esterification reaction is 2 - 5 h.

[0025] Preferably, the temperature of the polycondensation reaction is 180 - 280 °C; the time of the polycondensation reaction is 1 - 3 h.

[0026] The principle of this application is as follows: The reaction activity of carboxyl and amino is much greater than that of carboxyl and hydroxyl. Therefore, by directly reacting 2,5 - furandicarboxylic acid with aliphatic diamine, the preparation of 2,5 - furan polyamide material can be achieved at a lower temperature with a faster reaction rate. Polyester diol has higher chain segment polarity, stronger rigidity, and better heat resistance than polyether diol. By adding a polyester diol soft segment to 2,5 - furanyl polyamide, the good compatibility between polyester and polyamide can be used to effectively disrupt crystallization. In addition, by utilizing the strong hydrogen bond formed between amide - amide and amide - ester, while maintaining the high strength and foamability of the material, a high - strength and transparent polyester amide elastomer material can be prepared. The method proposed in this invention is an effective way to improve the transparency, strength, and elongation at break of 2,5 - furanyl polymer materials, broaden their applications, and realize their high - value utilization.

[0027] This application also claims to protect a bio - based polyester amide elastomer prepared by the preparation method described above. The intrinsic viscosity of the bio - based polyester amide elastomer is 0.5 - 2.0 dL / g; the glass transition temperature is - 40 - 15 °C; the tensile strength is 100 - 300 MPa; the elongation at break is greater than 300%.

[0028] This application also claims to protect a preparation method of a bio - based polyester amide foam. The bio - based polyester amide elastomer prepared by the preparation method described above is successively subjected to saturated adsorption and pressure - relief foaming in an environment containing a gas foaming agent to obtain the bio - based polyester amide foam;

[0029] The temperature of the saturated adsorption is (Tm - 30) °C to (Tm + 5) °C, where Tm is the melting temperature of the bio - based polyester amide elastomer.

[0030] Preferably, the pressure for saturated adsorption is 4 - 20 MPa, and the time is 30 - 120 min; the pressure relief rate for pressure relief foaming is 0.1 - 300 MPa / s.

[0031] This application also claims to protect a bio - based poly(ester - amide) foam, which is prepared by using the preparation method of the bio - based poly(ester - amide) foam described above.

[0032] Due to the application of the above - mentioned technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0033] 1. The present invention utilizes the characteristic that the amino group has a relatively fast reaction activity to reduce the possibility of decarboxylation of 2,5 - furandicarboxylic acid during a long - time polymerization reaction through a rapid reaction; utilizes the characteristic that the polyester diol has a low glass transition temperature to prepare an elastomeric material; utilizes the characteristic that the polyester diol has good compatibility with other monomers to achieve high transparency; and at the same time utilizes the rich hydrogen - bond content to increase the melt strength of the material and improve its foaming performance.

[0034] 2. By selecting monomers and adjusting their proportions, the present invention can meet different requirements for strength, elasticity, and light transmittance; at the same time, after supercritical foaming of the material, a high - strength, high - toughness, and high - resilience bio - based poly(ester - amide) foam with uniform cell size and controllable foaming ratio can be obtained. This material can fully meet the applications in automobiles, electronic and electrical appliances, industrial preparation, and sports goods. Detailed implementation manners

[0061] The elastomers and their foams prepared in the above Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0062] Table 1

[0063]

[0064] As can be seen from Table 1 above, in Examples 1 to 5, by changing the proportions of isophthalic acid and polyester diol, the ratio of hard and soft segments of the elastomer can be adjusted, and a high-strength, high-toughness, and light-transmitting bio-based polyester elastomer can be prepared. Moreover, foam exploration was carried out, and the foaming ratio was greater than 10 times, and the foam cells were dense and uniform, meeting the requirements of different strengths, elasticities, and foaming ratios.

[0065] In Comparative Example 1, polytetrahydrofuran was used as the reaction raw material, and the strength could not meet the high-strength requirements.

[0066] In Comparative Example 2, 1,4-butanediol was used as the reaction raw material. The esterification reaction was slow, and the decarboxylation of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid was severe, resulting in low molecular weight and melt strength of the material, as well as low tensile strength and foaming ratio.

[0067] In Comparative Example 3, isophthalic acid was not used, and the light-transmitting performance of the material was poor.

[0068] In the above text, the product test and characterization methods used in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention are as follows:

[0069] Test method for cell size density: Observe the cell morphology of the cross-section of the foam sample through a field emission electron microscope (SEM, Nove NanoSEM450, FEI). Use Image Pro Plus software to analyze the SEM image and calculate the average cell diameter and cell density of the sample after foaming.

[0070] Test method for foam density: Use a density meter to test the density of the sample and the foamed sample. The foaming ratio of the sample is defined as the ratio of the density of the sample before foaming to the density of the sample after foaming.

[0071] Test method for light transmittance: Place the dried sample in a mold and prepare a sample plate with a size of 4 cm * 4 cm and a thickness of 3 mm by hot pressing. Test it with a WGT-S light transmittance tester. For each test, select 5 positions on the film for the experiment and repeat it three times, and take the average value.

[0072] Test method for mechanical properties: Use a universal testing machine to test the tensile properties of the material. The copolymer is hot-pressed into a 1-mm-thick film and cut into dumbbell-shaped specimens. The specimens are placed at room temperature for a period of time and then stretched at a speed of 50 mm / min, and at least five tests are carried out for each sample with different contents.
