Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the preparation of polystyrene thermal insulation materials, and particularly relates to a preparation process of a flame-retardant and high-strength modified SiO2 aerogel-polystyrene composite material. Background Art
[0002] Disclosing the information of this background art section is only intended to enhance the overall understanding of the present invention, and is not necessarily regarded as an admission or an implication in any form that this information has become the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0003] Polystyrene (EPS) thermal insulation material is a foam material synthesized by free radical addition polymerization using styrene monomer as the main raw material. It has excellent heat insulation, noise reduction, and thermal insulation properties, and is an ideal material for use as a thermal insulation layer, being widely used in fields such as construction, packaging, and refrigeration. However, polystyrene thermal insulation materials are flammable materials. When exposed to high temperatures or open flames, they are prone to problems such as deformation, collapse, and combustion, which can then trigger fires. Moreover, the combustion is rapid and it is very easy to expand the fire in a short time. Therefore, adding flame retardants to polystyrene thermal insulation materials has become a common method to improve their flame retardant properties.
[0004] Due to its special structure and the property of not burning at high temperatures, etc., SiO2 aerogel has excellent heat insulation and flame retardant properties. Adding powdered SiO2 aerogel to polystyrene thermal insulation materials helps to improve their thermal insulation properties. However, since SiO2 aerogel particles are prone to agglomeration and are not easily uniformly dispersed in polystyrene thermal insulation materials, this not only affects the improvement of the flame retardant properties of polystyrene thermal insulation materials, but also is liable to have an adverse impact on the mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the above problems, the present invention provides a preparation process of a SiO2 aerogel-polystyrene composite flame-retardant and high-strength material, which not only improves the dispersibility of powdered SiO2 aerogel, making the flame retardant properties of polystyrene thermal insulation materials better, but also is conducive to the improvement of mechanical properties. Specifically, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows. A preparation process of a SiO2 aerogel-polystyrene composite flame-retardant and high-strength material comprises the following steps: (1) Mix powdered SiO2 aerogel with a dihydrogen phosphate solution and perform ultrasonic treatment under heating conditions. After completion, separate the solid product, dry it and then grind it to obtain modified nano-SiO2 aerogel powder.
[0006] (2) Mix brucite fiber, dihydrogen phosphate, polystyrene particles, and foaming agent, then heat and knead them, and then extrude and pelletize to obtain modified polystyrene particles. Then, mix the modified polystyrene particles with the modified nano-SiO2 aerogel powder evenly, and foam and mold the obtained mixture in steam to obtain the composite flame-retardant high-strength material.
[0007] Further, in step (1), the ratio of the SiO2 aerogel to the dihydrogen phosphate solution is 1 g: 20 - 40 ml. Optionally, the mass fraction of the dihydrogen phosphate solution is 3 - 10%.
[0008] Further, in step (1), the heating temperature is 60 - 90 °C, and the ultrasonic treatment time is 3 - 5 hours.
[0009] Further, in step (1), the drying temperature is 50 - 70 °C, and the drying time is 1 - 2 hours.
[0010] Further, in step (2), the mass ratio of the brucite fiber to the polystyrene particles is 0.16 - 0.23: 1. Optionally, the length of the brucite fiber is 1 - 3 mm, and the diameter is 10 - 15 μm.
[0011] Further, in step (2), the mass ratio of the dihydrogen phosphate to the brucite fiber is 0.045 - 0.07: 0.16 - 0.23.
[0012] Further, in steps (1) and (2), the dihydrogen phosphate includes at least one of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, etc.
[0013] Further, in step (2), the mass ratio of the polystyrene particles to the foaming agent is 1: 0.1 - 0.17. Optionally, the foaming agent includes any one of n-pentane, isopentane, neopentane, etc.
[0014] Further, in step (2), first heat up to 160 - 185 °C and knead for 50 - 90 min, then cool down to 100 - 130 °C and extrude and pelletize.
[0015] Further, in step (2), the mass ratio of the modified polystyrene particles to the modified nano-SiO2 aerogel powder is 1: 0.02 - 0.05.
[0016] Further, in step (2), the method of foaming and molding in steam is as follows: under a gas pressure of 0.4 - 0.55 MPa, first heat the mixture with steam at 80 - 100 °C for 180 - 240 s. Then cure it in an environment with a relative humidity of 92 - 98% for 40 - 60 min, and after completion, naturally dry it at room temperature to obtain the composite flame-retardant high-strength material.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The present invention first uses a dihydrogen phosphate solution to modify the surface of SiO2 aerogel particles, and thus utilizes the acidic environment of the dihydrogen phosphate solution under heating conditions. The huge surface area of the particles is used to adsorb dihydrogen phosphate molecules, and the hydroxyl groups on the dihydrogen phosphate molecules are condensed and bonded with the silanol groups on the particle surface, so that the surface of the SiO2 aerogel particles is loaded with dihydrogen phosphate molecules, which can not only form an effective steric hindrance effect to improve the dispersibility of SiO2 aerogel particles, reduce their agglomeration, so that the SiO2 aerogel particles can be more evenly distributed on the surface of the modified polystyrene particles, and thus better improve the flame retardancy of polystyrene. At the same time, the present invention uses brucite fiber and dihydrogen phosphate as the raw materials for preparing the modified polystyrene particles. On the one hand, during the steam heating and curing process, after the brucite fiber releases magnesium ions under the action of the liquid phase formed by the dihydrogen phosphate, it further reacts to form struvite. This product with high strength and high adhesiveness can well improve the bonding force between the brucite fiber and the polystyrene particles, thereby improving the mechanical strength of the polystyrene particles themselves. On the other hand, the brucite fiber on the surface of the modified polystyrene particles also releases magnesium ions under the action of the liquid phase formed by the dihydrogen phosphate on the SiO2 aerogel particles and then further reacts to form struvite, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the polystyrene particles and improving the overall strength of the prepared material. At the same time, the struvite and brucite fiber decompose to release water molecules when heated, and the two form a high-low combination, and together with the burned polystyrene, a charring layer with poor flammability is constructed, which can further strengthen the flame retardancy of polystyrene. In addition, the dihydrogen phosphate can also play a role in promoting the formation of a charring layer or protective layer with heat and oxygen isolation when polystyrene burns, thereby slowing down and preventing the spread of fire and improving the flame retardancy of polystyrene. The above-mentioned multi-faceted strengthening and flame retardant measures make the polystyrene prepared by the present invention have both good flame retardancy and mechanical properties.
