Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rubber materials, and in particular relates to a carbon dioxide-based rubber material. Background Art

[0002] Rubber materials, as highly elastic polymer compounds, are widely used in industries such as industry, transportation, electronics, and healthcare. Traditional rubber materials primarily rely on physical blends or chemical crosslinking systems of natural rubber or a single synthetic rubber (such as styrene-butadiene rubber and EPDM rubber). This presents a bottleneck in achieving a synergistic improvement in mechanical properties and heat resistance.

[0003] In recent years, carbon dioxide copolymers (such as PPC and PEC) have attracted much attention due to their environmental friendliness and renewable properties. Polycarbonate materials with adjustable segment structures can be prepared through the alternating copolymerization of epoxy compounds and CO2.

[0004] Prior art used CO2 to produce butadiene rubber, converting CO2 to ethanol using an Fe-Cu composite catalyst, followed by aldol condensation to produce butadiene monomer, ultimately synthesizing the rubber material. However, this process involves a long synthesis route and requires high process control. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a carbon dioxide-based rubber material with simple process requirements.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a carbon dioxide-based rubber material, characterized in that the main component is a vulcanized or unvulcanized unsaturated carbon dioxide copolymer, and the unsaturated carbon dioxide copolymer contains rigid segments and flexible segments.

[0007] Specifically, the unsaturated carbon dioxide copolymer has a three-segment molecular chain structure consisting of a rigid segment-a flexible segment-a rigid segment.

[0008] The total molar proportion of the repeating units of the flexible segment in the molecular chain of the carbon dioxide copolymer is 60% to 80%, and the total molar proportion of the repeating units of the rigid segment in the molecular chain of the carbon dioxide copolymer is 20% to 40%; the comonomers of the flexible segment include an epoxy compound, carbon dioxide, and any cyclic acid anhydride, wherein the epoxy compound is at least one of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and any epoxy compound containing a double bond; the comonomers of the rigid segment include at least one of cyclohexene oxide and cyclopentane oxide, carbon dioxide, any epoxy compound containing a double bond, any cyclic acid anhydride, and any p-toluenesulfonyl isocyanate;

[0009] The cyclic acid anhydride in the soft segment and the hard segment both contains at least one cyclic acid anhydride containing a double bond.

[0010] This invention directly utilizes CO2 to copolymerize with epoxy compounds / anhydrides, eliminating the multi-step conversion process from CO2 to ethanol to butadiene in traditional processes, thus reducing carbon emissions. The three-segment molecular chain structure (rigid-flexible-rigid) of this invention significantly improves the material's overall mechanical properties by optimizing the segment ratio.

[0011] The proportion of flexible segments in the material imparts excellent elastic recovery properties, overcoming the bottleneck of traditional rubber in balancing mechanical properties and resilience. The cyclohexane and double-bond cyclic anhydride in the rigid segments form a dense network through vulcanization crosslinking, enhancing the material's tensile strength. The rigid segment design also ensures the thermal stability of this rubber material (e.g., the cyclohexane-CO2 copolymer units), allowing the material to maintain >90% of its original strength at 120°C, addressing the high-temperature softening problem of traditional rubber.

[0012] The carbon dioxide-based rubber material of the present invention achieves a synergistic improvement in the mechanical properties, durability and environmental friendliness of the material by designing the molecular chain structure and the cross-linking network, thereby realizing carbon fixation and carbon reduction in the rubber field.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-mentioned carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the structural formula of the unsaturated carbon dioxide copolymer is:

[0014] ;

[0015] Wherein, R is H, methyl or olefin group, at least one of R1 and R2 is olefin group, R is cyclohexyl or cyclopentyl; 1≤a≤200, 0≤b≤100, 0≤c≤100, 1≤x≤100, 0≤y≤100, 0≤z≤10.

[0016] The above structural formula is more preferably a symmetrical structure obtained by polymerization initiated by a double-head initiator.

[0017] Specifically, the structural formula of the unsaturated carbon dioxide copolymer is:

[0018] ;

[0019] or

[0020] ;

[0021] Among them, 1≤a≤200, 0≤b≤100, 0≤c≤100, 1≤x≤100, 0≤y≤100, 0≤z≤10.

[0022] Preferably, in the carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the double-bond-containing cyclic anhydride is at least one of maleic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, nadic anhydride, halogenated maleic anhydride, dimethylmaleic anhydride, dodecenylsuccinic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, and methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride. The double bond structure of the selected double-bond-containing cyclic anhydride significantly improves vulcanization efficiency, eliminating the need for traditional chain extenders and shortening vulcanization time.

[0023] Double bonds can also provide active sites for functional modifications (such as grafting antimicrobial agents or conductive fillers) and optimize filler dispersibility through polar groups (such as dodecenylsuccinic anhydride) to obtain functional rubbers.

[0024] More preferably, the double-bond-containing cyclic anhydride is a mixture of halogenated maleic anhydride and nadic anhydride in a mass ratio of 10:1 to 4. The use of halogenated maleic anhydride allows for vulcanization at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption. The rigid cyclic structure and double bonds in nadic anhydride synergistically enhance the material's heat resistance and UV aging resistance. This optimal blend balances the material's initial vulcanization speed with its ultimate heat resistance requirements by leveraging the delayed crosslinking properties of a low proportion of nadic anhydride.

[0025] Preferably, in the above carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the double-bond-containing epoxy compound is allyl glycidyl ether.

[0026] Preferably, the method for preparing the carbon dioxide-based rubber material comprises the following steps:

[0027] (1) Put the comonomer of the soft segment, the catalyst and the initiator into the reactor, fill it with carbon dioxide to 1.5MPa~2.5MPa, and react at 40℃~60℃ for 3h~12h;

[0028] (2) Add the comonomer of the rigid chain segment and continue copolymerization for 1 h to 8 h while maintaining the reaction conditions; after washing, obtain the copolymer rubber;

[0029] (3) The obtained polymer is subjected to a cross-linking reaction.

[0030] This preparation method achieves a controlled arrangement of rigid and flexible segments through step-by-step polymerization. The proportion of flexible segments imparts high elasticity to the material, while the rigid segments enhance heat resistance. Optimized initiator and catalytic systems ensure stable polymerization. Double bonds are then used to crosslink the material, forming a CO2-based rubber material. CO2 serves as the core raw material in this material, achieving both carbon emission reduction and high material performance. This method combines process simplification, performance optimization, and environmental friendliness.

[0031] Preferably, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the catalyst is a metal catalyst or an organic borane catalyst.

[0032] More preferably, the catalyst is an organoborane catalyst, such as trimethylboron, triethylboron, or tributylboron. Organoborane catalysts can achieve high catalytic activity under mild conditions, reducing energy consumption by over 50% compared to metal catalysts. They can also effectively inhibit side reactions (such as the formation of cyclic carbonates) and improve product selectivity.

[0033] Preferably, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the initiator is a saturated or unsaturated dibasic or tetrabasic onium salt of an aliphatic or aromatic acid.

[0034] More preferably, in the above-mentioned method for preparing the carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the dibasic or tetrabasic acid onium salt comprises 、 and At least one of the following is selected. A double-headed initiator is selected, and during the polymerization process, the two ends of a chain extend outward, thereby forming a flexible segment in the middle. Rigid segments are then further connected at both ends, resulting in a three-segment molecular chain structure of rigid-flexible-rigid, ensuring the elasticity and strength of the rubber material.

[0035] The tetrabasic acid onium salt includes and At least one of .

[0036] Preferably, in the method for preparing the carbon dioxide-based rubber material, the molar ratio of the epoxy compound in the comonomer of the soft segment to the cyclohexene oxide in the comonomer of the rigid segment is 6-8:2-4.

[0037] The molar ratio of the epoxy compound to the cyclic anhydride in the comonomer of the soft segment is 10:0-2, preferably 10:0.5-1; the molar ratio of the cyclohexene oxide to the cyclic anhydride in the comonomer of the hard segment is 10:0-4, preferably 10:2-3. Furthermore, the amount of cyclic anhydride added to both the soft and hard segments cannot be zero at the same time.

[0038] This ratio design achieves structural optimization and performance synergy of the rigid and flexible segments of the material by regulating the molar ratio of epoxy compounds and cyclic anhydrides. After adding an appropriate amount of anhydride to the flexible segment, ester groups are introduced to enhance the flexibility of the molecular chain and improve the elongation at break; the addition of an appropriate amount of anhydride to the rigid segment can ensure the strength retention of the rubber material. The introduction of an appropriate amount of anhydride regulates the glass transition temperature through the ester-carbonate alternating structure, optimizing the heat resistance and dynamic mechanical properties of the rubber material. The optimal molar ratio can further optimize the material performance: trace amounts of anhydride in the flexible segment can inhibit the backbiting side reaction through the ester group and retain the flexibility of the main chain; a higher proportion of anhydride in the rigid segment combined with the preferred compound anhydride can further improve the regularity of the segment, making the 120°C strength retention rate >95% and the tensile strength higher. The two work together to build a dynamic cross-linked network, accurately control the glass transition temperature, and achieve a deep balance of high elasticity, heat resistance and processability.

[0039] Preferably, a vulcanizing agent and a reinforcing filler are further added during the cross-linking reaction in step (3) of the above preparation method; the vulcanizing agent is sulfur or a peroxide vulcanization system, and the addition amount is 0-2.5 phr; the reinforcing filler is at least one of carbon black N550, N660 or N774, and the addition amount is 0-60 phr; the mixing temperature is 80°C-160°C, and the mixing time is 10 min-30 min.

[0040] The double-bond crosslinking process utilizes free radical initiators traditionally used in EPDM rubber synthesis, such as VCl₃ combined with AlEt₂Cl. Alternatively, peroxides can be used, including at least one of dicumyl peroxide (DCP), di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP), and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-tert-butylperoxyhexane (DBPMH), with simultaneous vulcanization and mixing. The introduction of reinforcing fillers synergistically enhances crosslink density and tensile strength with the sulfur system. Precise control of mixing temperature and time ensures uniform filler dispersion, avoiding high-temperature scorching or insufficient vulcanization, ultimately resulting in a material with a balanced balance of high tear strength and compression set.

[0041] Compared with the existing technology, the carbon dioxide-based rubber material of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a new type of carbon dioxide-based rubber material, which achieves a synergistic improvement in the mechanical properties, durability and environmental protection of the material by rationally designing the molecular chain structure and cross-linking network, combined with efficient and green synthesis technology, and realizes carbon fixation and carbon reduction in the rubber field.
