Description

A compound rubber based on industrial printing rollers and its preparation method Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, and discloses a compound rubber based on industrial printing rollers and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The printing industry requires multiple sets of rubber rollers to transfer ink to the printing plate. Printing rollers are composites made of elastic rubber and a metal core through a specific process. The compound rubber used on their surface is one of the key factors affecting the performance of printing rollers, thus requiring several excellent properties: During high-speed operation, printing rollers need to withstand significant pressure and shear forces; therefore, the compound rubber must possess sufficient mechanical properties to prevent damage during use. Simultaneously, the compound rubber needs good heat aging resistance to ensure stable performance of the rollers over long-term use. Currently, the rubber used in rollers is generally EPDM rubber, a typical hydrophobic material. However, water is often added as a solvent in current printing inks; therefore, the rollers need a certain degree of hydrophilicity to improve ink transfer during printing. In summary, researching a compound rubber with good mechanical properties, good aging resistance, and good hydrophilicity for industrial printing rollers, and its preparation method, is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a compound rubber based on industrial printing rollers and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing a compound rubber based on industrial printing rollers, comprising the following steps: adding EPDM rubber and methyl vinyl silicone rubber to a mixer and mixing them evenly; adding photoinitiator 2-isopropylthioxanthone, filler, activator zinc oxide, and stearic acid and mixing them evenly; adding a softener and mixing them evenly; adding a crosslinking agent dicumyl peroxide and an accelerator N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide and mixing them evenly; and passing the mixture through a two-roll mill to obtain the compound rubber.

[0005] In a more optimized manner, the compound comprises the following raw materials, by weight parts: 90-100 parts EPDM rubber, 5-10 parts methyl vinyl silicone rubber, 2-4 parts photoinitiator, 90-100 parts filler, 10-12 parts activator, 2-5 parts stearic acid, 20-25 parts softener, 5-8 parts crosslinking agent, and 3-4 parts accelerator.

[0006] Ideally, the filler comprises carbon black.

[0007] More optimally, the filler is modified carbon black, which is modified to obtain the modified filler before being added. The preparation method of the modified filler is as follows: concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid are mixed evenly, carbon black is added, the temperature is raised to 120-130℃ and reacted for 0.5-1h, filtered, washed with water and dried; antioxidant RD and acetone are added, mixed evenly, and high-pressure ground for 2-5min, cyclodextrin composition is added, high-pressure ground for 2-5min, and dried to obtain the modified filler; the grinding speed is 12000r / min and the grinding pressure is 1.2MPa.

[0008] In a more optimized manner, the modified filler comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 10-12 parts concentrated sulfuric acid, 20-30 parts concentrated nitric acid, 15-20 parts carbon black, 1-1.5 parts antioxidant, 10-15 parts acetone, and 4-6 parts cyclodextrin composition.

[0009] In a more optimized manner, the compound comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 90-100 parts EPDM rubber, 5-10 parts methyl vinyl silicone rubber, 2-4 parts photoinitiator, 90-100 parts modified filler, 10-12 parts activator, 2-5 parts stearic acid, 20-25 parts softener, 5-8 parts crosslinking agent, and 3-4 parts accelerator.

[0010] More optimally, the cyclodextrin composition includes allyl-β-cyclodextrin, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and modified β-cyclodextrin; the preparation of the modified β-cyclodextrin includes the following steps: adding carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin to toluene, ultrasonically dispersing it evenly, adding excess terephthalic diisocyanate, heating to 70-80°C under nitrogen protection, stirring and reacting for 10-15 hours, removing the solvent to obtain isocyanate-modified cyclodextrin, adding excess water, ultrasonically dispersing it evenly, heating to 40-50°C and stirring and reacting for 8-12 hours, removing the solvent to obtain modified β-cyclodextrin.

[0011] More preferably, the cyclodextrin composition comprises allyl-β-cyclodextrin, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, or modified β-cyclodextrin in a mass ratio of 1:(0.5-0.8):(1-2).

[0012] In a more optimized manner, the modified β-cyclodextrin comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 5-10 parts carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, 50-80 parts terephthalic diisocyanate, and 500-800 parts water.

[0013] More preferably, the softener is a hyperbranched tung oil softener, and the preparation method includes the following steps: take tung oil, methanol and potassium hydroxide, mix them evenly, react at 60-70℃ for 1-2 hours, let stand and separate the liquid to take the upper layer, wash until neutral, remove water, and obtain methyl tungate.

[0014] Take methyl tung acid and maleic anhydride, stir evenly, and heat to 85-90℃ under nitrogen protection for 2-3 hours. After the reactants are cooled to room temperature, add acetone and stir evenly. Adjust the pH to 7 with NaOH, remove the acetone, and add cyclohexane and water to remove unreacted substances. Take the aqueous layer, add excess NaOH, and saponify at 75℃ for 2-3 hours. Acidify by adding hydrochloric acid dropwise. Dissolve the crude product in ethyl acetate, add NaSO4 and dry for 12 hours. After filtration, remove ethyl acetate to obtain solid tung acid.

[0015] Tung oil softener was obtained by mixing tung oil trisaccharide, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, triphenylphosphine, and isobutanol evenly and refluxing at 108°C for 45–55 h, removing the solvent, and then obtaining hyperbranched tung oil softener.

[0016] More preferably, the methyl tung oil comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 60-70 parts tung oil, 15-20 parts methanol, and 1-2 parts potassium hydroxide; the tung oil triglyceride comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 35-45 parts methyl tung oil and 8-12 parts maleic anhydride; the hyperbranched tung oil softener comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 15-20 parts tung oil triglyceride, 20-25 parts polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, 0.1-0.2 parts triphenylphosphine, and 40-50 parts isobutanol.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: using hyperbranched tung oil as a softener, the long carbon chain has good compatibility with the matrix rubber, while the multiple hydrophilic groups at the ends migrate to the material surface to form a hydrophilic film layer due to the polarity difference between the hydrophilic groups and the matrix rubber, thus improving the surface hydrophilicity; its hyperbranched structure can improve the toughness of the matrix rubber while forming a physical entanglement network to prevent detachment, thereby maintaining excellent hydrophilicity for a long time; the softener also introduces MW400 polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether to further improve the overall hydrophilicity. The amount and molecular weight of this substance should not be too large, otherwise the excessive hydrophilicity will lead to a decrease in compatibility with the matrix rubber, which will result in a decrease in performance.

[0018] A modified filler was prepared by combining an antioxidant, carbon black, and cyclodextrin composition using high-speed grinding to improve the dispersibility of the carbon black and antioxidant. The cyclodextrin composition included allyl-β-cyclodextrin, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and modified β-cyclodextrin in a certain mass ratio. Cyclodextrin can further improve the migration of antioxidants and enhance the aging resistance by utilizing its own molecular cavity structure. Among them, allyl-β-cyclodextrin contains a double bond structure, which can improve the degree of crosslinking and the overall compatibility of the modified filler with the rubber matrix during subsequent vulcanization. Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin contains multiple hydrophilic groups, which further improves hydrophilicity. Modified β-cyclodextrin is first isocyanated and then reacted with water to obtain modified β-cyclodextrin containing an aniline structure, which helps to improve the anti-aging performance.

[0019] In summary, the compound prepared by this invention, comprising EPDM rubber, methyl vinyl silicone rubber, modified filler, and hyperbranched tung oil softener, exhibits excellent mechanical properties, aging resistance, and hydrophilicity. Furthermore, during vulcanization, the components undergo further crosslinking, enhancing compatibility and crosslinking degree, thereby further improving overall performance.
