Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of rubber composites, and particularly relates to a modified starch-light rare earth complex, a rubber composite containing the same, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a natural, renewable, and low-cost material, starch has broad application prospects in the rubber industry. Starch itself has relatively large particles, high crystallinity, and is prone to agglomeration, and has poor compatibility with rubber. Therefore, it needs to be modified to improve its dispersibility and performance in rubber. Modified starch can be used as a reinforcing agent for rubber to improve the mechanical properties of rubber.

[0003] Common modification methods include gelatinization, esterification, oxidation, and graft modification, etc. For example, by gelatinization pretreatment, single helix structure modification, and ultra-high pressure homogenization treatment, hollow nano-starch with high cavities can be prepared. This modified starch has excellent free radical scavenging ability and dispersibility, and can significantly improve the aging resistance of rubber. Research shows that after adding modified starch, the tensile strength, modulus at a specified elongation, and tear strength of rubber are significantly improved. At the same time, starch can reduce the viscosity of rubber, making it easier to process, and reducing energy consumption during the production process. As a natural and biodegradable material, starch can replace some traditional reinforcing agents such as carbon black or silica, reduce the production cost of rubber products, and reduce the impact on the environment. In addition, after starch is compounded with rubber, a material with a certain network structure can be formed. The starch / rubber composite material prepared by methods such as blending and co-condensation not only retains the elasticity of rubber, but also significantly improves its wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and tear resistance.

[0004] However, starch is a natural polymer material, and there are significant differences in its molecular structure from rubber, resulting in poor compatibility between the two. During the mixing process, starch particles are difficult to be uniformly dispersed in the rubber matrix and are prone to agglomeration, which affects the overall performance of the composite material. Moreover, the interfacial interaction between starch and rubber is weak, and it is difficult to form good chemical bonding or physical entanglement. This makes the starch particles easy to fall off or separate from the rubber matrix during rubber processing and use, resulting in a decline in mechanical properties. In addition, large-sized starch particles are difficult to be fully dispersed in the rubber matrix and are prone to form stress concentration points, reducing the mechanical strength of the material. The dispersion uniformity of starch is difficult to control. Even using methods such as mechanical stirring and grinding, it is difficult to completely eliminate the agglomeration of starch particles, which makes the performance of the rubber composite material vary at different positions, affecting its consistency and reliability. The above defects greatly limit the application of starch in rubber.

[0005] Coordination compounds are also widely used in rubber. Researchers usually select appropriate ligands according to the desired properties, and then combine the ligands with the central principle through coordination reactions to form coordination compounds. In terms of enhancing the mechanical properties of rubber, the formation of coordination bonds between metal ions and functional groups in rubber can significantly improve the tensile strength, modulus, and heat resistance of rubber. Using coordination compounds as interfacial enhancers can improve the compatibility between rubber and fillers (such as lignin), promote the uniform dispersion of fillers, and thus enhance the overall performance of the composite material.

[0006] Based on this, the development of starch-based coordination compounds for enhancing the mechanical and processing properties of rubber is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application provides a modified starch-light rare earth complex, a rubber composite material containing the same, and its preparation method and application, aiming to solve the technical problems of poor dispersion of existing starch additives in rubber and poor compatibility with rubber, resulting in low mechanical and processing properties of starch-rubber composite materials.

[0046] In a first aspect, the present application provides a modified starch-light rare earth complex, which has a chemical structure shown in formula (1):

[0047]

[0048] wherein R is La or Ce; x + y - z = 3.

[0049] The preparation method of the modified starch-light rare earth complex includes:

[0125] In Application Comparative Example 4, compared with Application Example 1, the modified starch-light rare earth complex prepared in Comparative Example 1 is used, and its dosage is 10 parts, and the rest are the same as those in Application Example 1.

[0126] The vulcanization curves of the rubber composites of Application Examples 1-5 and Application Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested, and the results are as Figure 2 shown. It can be seen from Figure 2 that compared with Application Comparative Example 1, Application Examples 1-5 show that the modified starch-light rare earth complex can improve the vulcanization rate of rubber and increase the torque of the vulcanizate. Compared with Application Comparative Examples 2-4, the vulcanization performance of the modified starch-light rare earth complex containing alkalized silica is better.

[0127] The mechanical properties of the rubber composites of Test Application Examples 1-5 and Application Comparative Examples 1-4 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0131] As can be seen from Table 1, the modified starch-light rare earth complex of the present application has a better reinforcing effect on rubber. The rubber composite containing the modified starch-light rare earth complex of the present application has better tensile stress, tensile strength and tear strength compared with Application Comparative Example 1.

[0132] From the test results of Test Application Examples 1-5 and Application Comparative Examples 2-4, it can be seen that the modified starch-light rare earth complexes of Application Comparative Examples 2-4 do not contain alkalized silica, and their reinforcing effect on rubber is lower than that of the modified starch-light rare earth complex containing alkalized silica in the present application. The definite elongation stress, tensile strength and tear strength of the rubber composites reinforced by them are all lower than those of the rubber composites reinforced by the modified starch-light rare earth complex of the present application. This is because the modified starch-light rare earth complex without alkalized silica does not contain polar ends, and its combination with silica is not good, making it difficult to improve the dispersion of silica and the interfacial interaction between silica and the rubber matrix, and the improvement effect on the mechanical properties of rubber composites is not good.

[0133] As the dosage of the modified starch-light rare earth complex increases, as shown in Test Application Examples 1-3, the definite elongation stress and tear strength of the rubber composite gradually increase, while the tensile strength and elongation at break first increase and then decrease. When the addition amount of the modified starch-light rare earth complex is 5 parts, the rubber composite has the best comprehensive performance.

[0134] Although the present application has been described in detail with general descriptions and specific implementation examples in this specification, based on the present application, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present application all fall within the scope claimed by the present application.
