Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the preparation of silicone resins, and particularly to a method for preparing three-dimensional silicone resins in a non-solvent system. Background Art
[0002] Silicone resins are thermosetting polyorganosiloxanes with a highly cross-linked structure. Due to their special structure, compared with other organic resins, they have excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, weather resistance, electrical insulation, hydrophobicity, anti-sticking and demolding properties, etc. Therefore, they are widely used as insulating paints for high and low temperatures, heat-resistant coatings, weather-resistant coatings, ablative-resistant coatings, and mold plastics for high and low temperatures and electrical insulation.
[0003] Silicone resins are generally prepared from a mixture of organochlorosilanes or organoethoxysilanes through hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions in a mixed solvent. The curing of silicone resins is to transform into a thermosetting resin with a three-dimensional network structure that is insoluble and infusible under the action of heating or a catalyst. Silicone resins generally need to be cured and formed at high temperatures, which limits their scope of use. In the preparation of traditional silicone resins, the volatilization of solvents will cause VOC emissions and safety hazards.
[0004] Silicone resins are usually prepared by hydrolyzing various mixtures of methyltrichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, phenyltrichlorosilane, diphenyldichlorosilane or methylphenyldichlorosilane in the presence of an organic solvent such as toluene at a lower temperature to obtain an acidic hydrolyzate. The initial products of hydrolysis are a mixture of cyclic, linear and cross-linked polymers, usually containing a considerable amount of hydroxyl groups. The hydrolyzate is washed with water to remove the acid, and the neutral initial condensate is further polycondensed by thermal oxidation in air or in the presence of a catalyst, and finally a highly cross-linked three-dimensional network structure is formed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing three-dimensional silicone resins in a non-solvent system, to solve the environmental pollution problem caused by the volatilization of organic solvents in the existing preparation process of silicone resins, and to improve the safety of the preparation of silicone resins.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a method for preparing three-dimensional silicone resins in a non-solvent system, including the following steps: S1. Prepare a phosphazene chloride catalyst; S2. Add 30-50 parts of methyl orthosilicate or ethyl orthosilicate to vinyl silicone oil, and stir and mix evenly; S3. Add phosphoric acid to the solution obtained in S2 and stir evenly. The dosage of phosphoric acid is 30 ppm of the total dosage, and heat up to colorless and transparent; S4. Add the phosphazene chloride catalyst prepared in S1 to the reaction solution in S3, stir evenly, maintain the temperature, and dropwise add deionized water, and evacuate to vacuum; S5. Add 2 - 10 parts of trimethylchlorosilane dropwise to the reaction solution obtained in S4; S6. Add silazane accounting for 1% of the total mass of the reactants dropwise to the reactants obtained in S5 to obtain a three - dimensional silicone resin.
[0007] Preferably, the S1 specifically includes the following steps: S11. Assemble the reaction device, conduct a gas - tightness inspection on the reaction device, and perform a drying treatment; S12. Purge the reaction device with nitrogen, conduct a pre - heating treatment, turn on the condensed water in the reaction device, and soak the reaction device with dichloromethane and tetrachloroethane in sequence; S13. Mix 160:10 - 11 of tetrachloroethane and ammonium chloride by mass ratio and stir evenly to obtain a tetrachloroethane solution of ammonium chloride; S14. Add phosphorus pentachloride to the reaction device. Under nitrogen protection, stir and heat up to 120 - 130 °C, and then dropwise add the above - prepared tetrachloroethane solution of ammonium chloride. The mass ratio of phosphorus pentachloride to ammonium chloride is 5:1 - 3. After the reaction, cool to room temperature; S15. Add anisole to the reaction solution, stir and mix evenly under vacuum conditions to obtain phosphonitrile chloride.
[0008] Preferably, in the S14, the reaction time is 2 - 3 hours.
[0009] Preferably, in the S2, when the viscosity of vinyl silicone oil is 100 - 1000 mPa·s, a hair - type and high - speed disperser is used; when the viscosity is 1000 - 1000000 mPa·s, a kneader is used.
[0010] Preferably, in the S3, the temperature increase is 45 °C - 50 °C.
[0011] Preferably, in the S4, the dosage of phosphonitrile chloride is 50 ppm of the total input, and the mass of deionized water is 0.5% - 2% of the total mass of the reaction solution.
[0012] Preferably, in the S5, the reaction temperature is 100 °C - 120 °C, and the reaction is carried out under vacuum conditions for 1 hour.
[0013] Preferably, in the S6, the silazane is hexamethyldisilazane or tetramethyldisilazane, the reaction temperature is 100 °C - 120 °C, and the reaction is carried out under vacuum conditions for 1 hour.
[0014] The advantages and positive effects of the method for preparing a three - dimensional silicone resin in a non - solvent system according to the present invention are: 1. The present invention uses vinyl silicone oil to replace traditional volatile solvents as a carrier, and undergoes hydrolysis and condensation of methyl orthosilicate or ethyl orthosilicate in the vinyl silicone oil to form a three-dimensional silicone resin, avoiding the safety hazards and environmental emissions caused by the use of volatile solvents. Vinyl silicone oil only serves as a carrier for the condensation of three-dimensional polysiloxane and does not participate in chemical reactions. Since many downstream applications of silicone resin are in the scenario of vinyl polysiloxane, vinyl silicone oil can participate in downstream reactions and also avoid the VOC and safety hazards caused by the volatilization of solvents in actual downstream applications.
[0015] 2. The orthosilicate undergoes hydrolysis and condensation under the catalysis of phosphoric acid and phosphonitrile chloride to form a Si-O-Si three-dimensional network; trimethylcyanosilane is used as a capping agent to control the crosslinking density, and silazane further eliminates residual hydroxyl groups to improve the stability of the product.
