Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic polymers, and particularly relates to a preparation method of melamine resin foam. Background Art

[0002] Melamine foam (also known as melamine foam) is a thermosetting elastic organic rubber and plastic foam formed by microwave foaming of melamine polyformaldehyde resin, with a fine three-dimensional network structure with high open pores. It has the advantages of good heat insulation, stability, heat and humidity resistance, sound absorption and light weight, and is widely used in building acoustics, professional acoustics, rail vehicles, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, aerospace applications, pipeline insulation, high-temperature insulation, low-temperature insulation, power stations, filtration applications, large equipment manufacturing, antistatic, 5G base stations, white goods, supercapacitors, industrial cleaning, household cleaning, furniture manufacturing and other fields.

[0003] However, melamine foam also has the following inherent defects:

[0004] The high brittleness, weak tensile and compressive properties of melamine foam are its core shortcoming. The tear strength of traditional melamine foam is low (only about 0.5 - 1.5 kPa), the elastic modulus is small, and it is easy to break or brittlely rupture during use. For example, in automobile manufacturing, its large volume caused by high open porosity and material fragility limit its application in the trend of lightweight. To improve toughness, some enterprises try to introduce toughening agents such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), but it may sacrifice flame retardancy or increase costs.

[0005] Melamine foam is formed by the polycondensation of melamine and formaldehyde, and it is difficult to completely remove free formaldehyde in the finished product; long-term volatilization will cause harm to human health and the environment. It is necessary to reduce formaldehyde release by means of modified resins or adsorbents. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a preparation method to improve the mechanical properties for the problem of high brittleness of current melamine foam.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a preparation method of melamine resin foam, including the following steps:

[0008] S1 Weighing: According to mass parts, it includes the following components:

[0009]

[0010] S2 Pre-polymerization: Add melamine and paraformaldehyde to the reaction kettle, adjust the pH to 10.5 - 11.5 with strong base; stir and mix to carry out hydroxymethylation reaction; then add 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane, maleic anhydride, dibenzoylmethane, peroxide catalyst and amino acid solution and continue to mix to carry out grafting reaction; obtain prepolymer;

[0011] S3 Re - polymerization: Surfactant, the remaining amino acid solution, and nano - silica are added to the prepolymer. After heating, it is stirred at high speed and then reacted to obtain the re - polymer.

[0012] S4 Foaming: n - pentane, formic acid, and surfactant are added to the re - polymer. After stirring evenly, it is foamed.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes the step:

[0014] S5 Post - treatment: After foaming, it is dried with hot air and then cut into the required shape; the finished product is obtained.

[0015] Preferably, the surfactant in step S1 is an anionic surfactant.

[0016] Preferably, the foaming agent in step S1 is one of the following: n - butane, n - pentane, n - hexane.

[0017] Preferably, the peroxide catalyst in step S2 is dicumyl peroxide (DCP) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO).

[0018] Preferably, in step S2, the reaction temperature of the hydroxymethylation reaction is 70 - 85°C; the stirring rate ≥ 200 rpm; the reaction time is 1 - 2 h.

[0019] Preferably, in step S2, the grafting reaction is divided into two stages:

[0020] The reaction time of the first stage is 20 - 30 min; the reaction temperature is 70 - 85°C;

[0021] The reaction time of the second stage is 10 - 15 min; the reaction temperature is 100 - 120°C.

[0022] Preferably, in step S3, the stirring rate ≥ 2000 rpm; the time is ≥ 10 min.

[0023] Preferably, in step S3, the temperature of the heating reaction is 80 - 90°C; the time is 60 - 75 min.

[0024] Preferably, in step S4, the foaming process is microwave foaming.

[0025] Preferably, the D90 of the nano - silica ≤ 20 nm; the specific surface area ≥ 200 m 2 / g.

[0026] In the present invention, an initiator (2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane) is used to chemically graft two monomers (maleic anhydride, dibenzoylmethane) simultaneously; 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane is a broad-spectrum free radical initiator, and its advantage lies in a relatively high decomposition temperature (about 150 °C), strong stability of the generated free radicals, which can reduce side reactions (such as crosslinking or degradation), thereby more efficiently initiating the grafting of the two monomers simultaneously.

[0027] Maleic anhydride (MAH) is a highly polar unsaturated anhydride. Through free radical grafting reaction, it is introduced into the polymer main chain to form anhydride groups, significantly improving the breaking tensile stress of the material.

[0028] When dibenzoylmethane (DBM) is grafted alone, it does not greatly improve the mechanical properties; however, in the present invention, its keto group structure participates in the free radical reaction, moderately regulating the crosslinking degree in the grafting reaction; balancing the rigidity and toughness of the material; thereby achieving the effect of improving toughness; and on the premise of the same addition amount, the mechanical improvement degree of the combination of dibenzoylmethane and maleic anhydride is better than that of maleic anhydride alone.

[0029] In the pre-polymerization stage of step S2 of the present invention, a three-stage reaction is adopted to precisely control the reaction process to prevent excessive polymerization at this stage; among them, the grafting reaction is carried out at two different temperatures. In the low-temperature stage, the monomer with lower reactivity (MAH) is grafted; in the high-temperature reaction, the second monomer (DBM) is activated for grafting; during this process, by utilizing the continuous decomposition characteristic of a single initiator (2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane), a relatively high grafting rate can be achieved without additional equipment. Peroxide catalysts are used in the grafting reaction, such as dicumyl peroxide (DCP) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO).

[0030] In the present invention, the amino acid solution added is generally glycine or lysine; it is used to regulate the reaction process, improve the resin crosslinking density and storage stability; the -NH2 of the amino acid undergoes a condensation reaction with the hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) of the melamine-formaldehyde resin to form a **-NH-CH2-O-** crosslinking bond, constructing a three-dimensional network; playing a role in improving the mechanical properties.

[0031] Moreover, when using the amino acid solution as a reaction component, its amino group undergoes a condensation reaction with free formaldehyde, reducing the content of free formaldehyde in the resin. At the same time, multi-stage hydroxymethylation reaction and alkaline condition regulation contribute to improving the formaldehyde conversion rate, reducing the formaldehyde release risk of foam products from the source.

[0032] Adding nano-silica in the present invention can significantly improve the mechanical strength of the foam. The present invention is prepared by a microwave foaming process, and the introduction of nano-materials may further optimize the pore structure uniformity and improve the brittleness and tear strength. Defining the performance indicators of nano-silica is to ensure the effect of improving the mechanical properties.

[0033] In the present invention, the nano-silica is mainly physically dispersed, but there are some chemical grafting reactions; although the nano-silica is added in step S3 (re-polymerization stage), at this time the prepolymer has completed the hydroxymethylation reaction (S2), there are still a large number of active groups in the system (such as hydroxymethyl -CH2OH, anhydride groups of maleic anhydride, -NH2 / -COOH of amino acids); the following reactions exist:

[0034] Esterification reaction (with maleic anhydride):

[0035] SiO2-OH + maleic anhydride → ΔSiO2-O-CO-CH=CH-COOH

[0036] Condensation reaction (with hydroxymethyl or amino group):

[0037] SiO2-OH + HO-CH2-resin → SiO2-O-CH2-resin + H2O

[0038] In the present invention, a strong base is used to adjust the pH value, generally sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

[0039] The surfactant is an anionic surfactant, generally sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate.

[0040] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are at least as follows:

[0041] Through the raw material modification by chemical grafting reaction, process stage control and microwave foaming technology of the present invention, significant advantages are shown in aspects such as foam uniformity, mechanical properties, and environmental protection; at the same time, through the application of nano-materials and composite cross-linking agents, a significant improvement in mechanical properties, especially in improving brittleness, is achieved.

[0129] Relative elongation at break: According to the method described in "GB / T 8813-2020 Determination of Compressive Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics".

[0130] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0131] Table 1

[0132]

[0133] As shown in Table 1, in the present invention:

[0134] Without adding amino acids (Example 4), since the flexible chain segments of the amino acid solution will destroy the continuity of the rigid network of melamine; the flexible chain segments formed by amino acid grafting can inhibit crack propagation. When not added, the crosslinking density of the molecular chains is higher and the rigidity is enhanced; and the absence of amino acids results in the lack of an energy dissipation structure in the foam, and the cell walls are more prone to brittle fracture under compressive loads; in addition, the plastic deformation ability provided by amino acids disappears, and the material exhibits typical brittle fracture characteristics. Finally, although the elastic modulus has a slight increase, the compressive strength, tensile stress at break and relative elongation at break decrease significantly.

[0135] Without adding nano-silica (Example 5), the interfacial bonding force between the resin matrix and the filler is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the stress transfer efficiency. The absence of nano-silica prevents the material from hindering crack propagation through rigid particles or absorbing energy through flexible chain segments. When no nano-particles are added, the strength of the cell walls during the foaming process is insufficient, and large-sized holes are likely to occur. Eventually, the elastic modulus, compressive strength, fracture tensile stress, and relative elongation rate all decrease.

[0136] Examples 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 test the changes in different mechanical property indexes when using different modified monomers or without modification; from the results, it can be seen that only when maleic anhydride and dibenzoylmethane are compounded, the comprehensive performance is the best; replacement or absence may cause an increase in a certain index, but the other indexes will show a significant decrease.

[0137] During the long-term high-temperature reaction of S2 prepolymerization (Example 11), the high temperature accelerates the cross-linking reaction, and the molecular chains are over-crosslinked to form a rigid network. The increase in the initial cross-linking density improves the strength, but over-crosslinking causes the embrittlement of the cell walls and a long-term decrease in strength; the rigid network lacks toughness, and stress concentration leads to brittle fracture. The densification of the cross-linking network completely inhibits the slippage of molecular chains. Although the elastic modulus and compressive strength increase slightly, it will cause a serious decrease in the fracture tensile stress and relative elongation rate.

[0138] During the long-term low-temperature reaction of S2 prepolymerization (Example 12), the insufficient reaction activity results in a low cross-linking degree, and the molecular chains are in a loose linear structure; the incompletely cross-linked resin matrix cannot effectively support the load, and the cells are prone to collapse; the number of hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds between the molecular chains is insufficient, and the interfacial bonding force is weak; the flexible chain segments (amino acids) are not fully grafted, and the residual linear molecular chains provide the ability of plastic deformation. Although the relative elongation rate can be increased significantly; it will cause a serious decrease in the elastic modulus, compressive strength, and fracture tensile stress.

[0139] The above detailed description is a specific description of one of the feasible embodiments of the present invention, and this embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation or change without departing from the present invention should be included within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
