Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flame - retardant materials, and more specifically, it relates to a graphene - modified flame - retardant polyurethane material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to its excellent mechanical properties, processing adaptability, and adjustable chemical structure, polyurethane materials are widely used in fields such as construction, electronic packaging, and transportation. However, the traditional polyurethane molecular chain is rich in carbon - hydrogen structures, with a limiting oxygen index usually lower than 20%, high flammability, and a large amount of toxic smoke and gases released during combustion, seriously threatening life and property safety. In addition, polyurethane materials are prone to hydrolysis degradation in a humid environment, resulting in a decline in mechanical properties, which is particularly significant under high - temperature and high - humidity working conditions. Therefore, improving the flame - retardant performance, hydrolysis resistance, and reducing the combustion smoke toxicity of polyurethane materials have become urgent technical problems in this field.

[0003] Currently, flame - retardant polyurethanes are mainly achieved by adding flame retardants, but the traditional flame - retardant systems have significant limitations. Although halogen - based flame retardants have high flame - retardant efficiency, they release toxic substances such as hydrogen halide and dioxins during thermal decomposition and have been restricted by regulations such as EU RoHS. Inorganic flame retardants such as aluminum hydroxide and expanded graphite require high addition amounts to achieve the flame - retardant effect, resulting in deterioration of the mechanical properties of the material and a decrease in processing fluidity. The phosphorus - nitrogen intumescent flame - retardant system has relatively good environmental protection performance, but its interfacial compatibility with the matrix is poor, it is easy to migrate and precipitate, and its long - term stability is insufficient. In recent years, due to its two - dimensional sheet structure, high specific surface area, and thermal stability, graphene has been used to construct a physical - barrier - type flame - retardant system. However, the rich oxygen - containing groups on the surface of graphene oxide are prone to cause agglomeration, making it difficult to be evenly dispersed in the polyurethane matrix, and problems such as the directional loading efficiency of flame - retardant active groups and the stability of the carbon layer structure during combustion still need to be optimized through molecular design. Therefore, the present invention provides a graphene - modified flame - retardant polyurethane material and a preparation method thereof to solve the above - mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a graphene - modified flame - retardant polyurethane material and a preparation method thereof. The flame - retardant polyurethane material prepared by the present invention has low smoke, excellent flame - retardant properties, mechanical properties, and hydrophobic stability through the synergistic effect of graphene and the phosphorus - nitrogen flame - retardant system, and is suitable for flame - retardant polymer material fields such as construction and electronic packaging.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A graphene-modified flame-retardant polyurethane material is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60 - 70 parts of polyol, 30 - 40 parts of isophorone diisocyanate, 0.4 - 0.8 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate, 3 - 6 parts of dimethylolpropionic acid, 15 - 20 parts of composite flame retardant, 2 - 4 parts of 1,4-butanediol, and 1 - 3 parts of perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of the castor oil-based polyester polyol is as follows: Add castor oil, triethanolamine, and sodium methoxide into a reaction kettle, continuously stir at 105 - 115 °C for 2 - 4 h, then wash, extract, and dry to obtain hydroxylated castor oil. Then mix it with dibasic anhydride and tetrabutyl titanate, and continuously stir at 140 - 160 °C for 6 - 10 h, and then wash, extract, and dry to obtain castor oil-based polyester polyol.

[0008] Preferably, the method is 6 - 9 parts of castor oil, 1 - 4 parts of triethanolamine, and 0.4 - 0.8 parts of sodium methoxide by weight ratio.

[0009] Preferably, the dibasic anhydride is composed of maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride in a molar ratio of 1:1 - 3.

[0010] Preferably, the method is 8 - 12 parts of hydroxylated castor oil, 3 - 6 parts of dibasic anhydride, and 0.3 - 0.8 parts of tetrabutyl titanate by weight ratio.

[0011] Preferably, the preparation steps of the composite flame retardant are as follows: S1. Disperse graphene oxide in deionized water, after ultrasonic treatment for 35 - 50 min, add polyethyleneimine, 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene, and 2-amino-1,3,5-triazine.

Disperse the grafted product in toluene, add octaaminopropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and titanate coupling agent, continuously stir at 115 - 125 °C for 10 - 14 h, and then filter, wash, and dry to obtain the composite flame retardant.

[0012] Preferably, in step S1, it is 1 - 5 parts of graphene oxide, 50 - 60 parts of deionized water, 2 - 4 parts of polyethyleneimine, 8 - 12 parts of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene, and 4 - 6 parts of 2-amino-1,3,5-triazine by weight.

[0016] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention uses graphene oxide as a carrier, constructs a dual - effect flame - retardant system by chemically grafting phosphorus - nitrogen flame - retardant groups and combining silane - titanate synergistic modification. The lamellar structure of graphene forms a continuous and dense physical barrier during the combustion process, effectively blocking heat and mass transfer and the diffusion of combustible gases; the phosphorus - nitrogen system promotes the rapid formation of an expanded carbon layer through catalytic char - forming and free - radical capture mechanisms, significantly improving the flame - retardant grade of the material and greatly reducing the release amount of combustion smoke and toxins. A compound system of polytetrahydrofuran ether diol and castor oil - based polyester polyol is used, and the molecular chain cross - linked network is regulated by polycondensation reaction, balancing the rigidity and toughness of the material while introducing renewable components. The interface modification of silane - titanate in the composite flame retardant and the introduction of perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane endow the material with excellent hydrophobicity and hydrolysis resistance stability, effectively inhibiting the breakage of molecular chains and performance attenuation in a humid environment, and expanding its application range in complex working conditions.

[0017] 2. The present invention realizes the high - density loading of phosphorus - nitrogen flame - retardant groups on the surface of graphene through a covalent grafting strategy mediated by polyethyleneimine, avoiding the component migration problem caused by traditional physical doping; the silane - titanate synergistic modification significantly improves the dispersion of graphene oxide in the polyurethane matrix, reduces the stress defects caused by nanoparticle agglomeration, and ensures the long - term stability of the mechanical properties of the material. Perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane enhances the surface hydrophobic function through chemical bonding, overcoming the defect of easy shedding of conventional coatings. The castor oil - based polyester polyol partially replaces petroleum - based raw materials, reducing the dependence on non - renewable resources, and the composite flame - retardant system abandons halogen components, meeting the requirements of environmental protection regulations.
