Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plastic processing, in particular to a method for preparing high-barrier engineering plastics used in processing grease gun oil storage cylinders. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread application of engineering plastics in the fields of automobiles, machinery, lubrication equipment, etc., they play an increasingly important role in replacing metal materials, reducing structural weight, improving corrosion resistance and processing efficiency. Common engineering plastics such as polyamide, polycarbonate, polyimide, polyester plastics, polyetheretherketone, etc. have been widely used in the preparation of structural components, seals and storage containers.

[0003] In order to improve their comprehensive performance, performance optimization is often carried out through means such as blending modification, filler reinforcement and surface treatment. However, when used in the processing of grease gun oil storage cylinders, these conventional engineering plastics still have obvious deficiencies in barrier properties and oil resistance. Specifically, the material has a high penetration rate of oil in grease, and is prone to oil seepage, swelling and softening, and reduced sealing performance under high pressure or high temperature environments, which seriously affects the service life and sealing safety of the oil storage cylinder.

[0004] In the prior art, the barrier properties and oil resistance of engineering plastics used in grease contact environments are insufficient due to the limitations of their molecular structure and interface configuration. On the one hand, most traditional engineering plastics lack spatial shielding groups in their molecular chains, and the chain segments are loosely arranged and have large free volumes, which cannot effectively prevent the diffusion and penetration of small molecule oils in grease, resulting in poor air tightness and oil tightness of the material. On the other hand, under high temperature or long-term load conditions, some plastics will experience structural relaxation or molecular chain swelling due to oil absorption, resulting in a decrease in material strength, poor surface adhesion, and even cracks. In addition, the interfacial bonding force between inorganic fillers and the polymer matrix is ​​limited, and microscopic debonding or penetration channels are prone to occur, further reducing the barrier effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing high-barrier engineering plastics used in the processing of grease gun oil storage cylinders, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the barrier properties and oil resistance of engineering plastics need to be further improved.

Triethylamine is added to neutralize the generated hydrochloric acid to avoid the occurrence of side reactions. Acetic anhydride is used as a dehydration reagent, and triethylamine assists in acid absorption. Under the action of acetic anhydride and triethylamine, the amide acid structure that has not yet closed the ring in the mixed solution is dehydrated and condensed to form an imide ring, thereby obtaining a modified polyimide.

[0011] A3. Place modified polyurethane, N,N-dimethylformamide and modified silica in a reactor, stir at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, add glass fiber, ultrasonically disperse for 2-4 hours, and post-treat to obtain modified fiber.

[0013] Furthermore, in step A1, the ball milling operation step includes: adding silica to a planetary ball mill, adding zirconia grinding balls with a diameter of 5-10 mm, a ball-to-material ratio of 10:1, and ball milling for 1-2 hours to obtain pretreated silica; in step A2, the amount ratio of the pretreated silica, N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, deionized water and ethanol is 2-4g:0.5-1g:5-10mL:50-80mL, and the post-processing step includes: after the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is heated to 100°C.

Heat the reactor to 55-65° C., add triethylamine, keep the temperature and react for 20-30 minutes, and post-treat to obtain modified polyurethane.

[0015] The preparation reaction principle of modified polyurethane is: During the reaction, under the action of high temperature and catalyst, the terminal hydroxyl structures of polycarbonate diol and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid undergo nucleophilic reaction with the isocyanate group of 4,4'-diisocyanato-3,3'-dimethyldiphenylmethane to obtain a prepolymer liquid. The prepolymer in the prepolymer liquid further undergoes nucleophilic reaction with the amino group of the modified polysiloxane to obtain an interpenetrating cross-linked emulsion-like modified polyurethane.

[0016] Furthermore, in step B1, the amount ratio of the polycarbonate diol, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, stannous octoate and acetone is 3-5g:0.5-1g:0.2-0.4g:30-60mL, and the amount of 4,4'-diisocyanato-3,3'-dimethyldiphenylmethane added is 0.55 times the total molar amount of hydroxyl groups of the polycarbonate diol and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid; in step B2, the amount ratio of the prepolymer liquid, epoxy resin, modified polysiloxane and triethylamine is 20-25mL:2-4g:1-2g:1-3g, and the post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is completed, the reaction liquid is cooled to room temperature, the reaction liquid is transferred to a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 50-60°C, and vacuum rotary evaporation is performed until no liquid is recovered to obtain a modified polyurethane.

[0017] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified polysiloxane is as follows: hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane and N,N-dimethylformamide are added to a reactor, the temperature of the reactor is increased to 100-120°C, sulfuric acid solution is added to the reactor, the reaction is kept warm for 4-5 hours, and then post-processed to obtain the modified polysiloxane.

[0018] The preparation reaction formula of modified polysiloxane is:

[0019] The preparation reaction principle of modified polysiloxane is: During the reaction, under the action of an alkaline catalyst, 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane and 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane undergo a ring-opening condensation reaction to obtain an amino-terminated modified polysiloxane.

[0020] Furthermore, the amount ratio of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane, N,N-dimethylformamide and sulfuric acid solution is 2.5-3.5 g:2-4 g:3-5 g:80-120 mL:2-4 mL, the sulfuric acid solution is a 40-50 wt% aqueous sulfuric acid solution, and the post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is completed, the temperature of the reactor is lowered to room temperature, the reaction solution is transferred to a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 80-100 ° C, and distilled under reduced pressure until no liquid is produced to obtain modified polysiloxane.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention prepares a modified polysiloxane having a fluorine atom and an amino end capping in a side chain by telomerization, and uses the modified polysiloxane and an epoxy resin as a polyurethane chain extender to prepare the modified polyurethane. The amino end capping polysiloxane can react with an isocyanate group in a prepolymer solution or an epoxy group of the epoxy resin to form a block structure. The Si-O bond is flexible and has a high bond energy, so that the modified polyurethane chain segment has a strong deformation energy absorption capacity. When the engineering plastic is subjected to an impact load, the modified polyurethane chain segment can undergo reversible curling and slippage, buffering stress concentration, delaying crack propagation, and improving the impact resistance of the engineering plastic. The trifluoropropyl side chain has the characteristics of being hydrophobic and having low surface energy. When the trifluoropropyl side chain is used as a block structure, the waterproof and oil resistance of the surface of the modified polyurethane is improved, and the waterproof and oil resistance of the engineering plastic is further improved. Moreover, under the action of the modified polyurethane, the bonding between white carbon black and glass fiber is enhanced, and the modified polyurethane is not easy to fall off or become hollow during friction, thereby improving the wear resistance of the engineering plastic.

[0022] The present invention combines white carbon black and glass fiber by physical and covalent bonding through modified polyurethane to obtain modified fibers, and melt-extrudes the modified fibers, modified polyimide, and auxiliary additives to prepare high-barrier engineering plastics. White carbon black and glass fiber can form a micro-scale inorganic barrier phase, which is arranged in a staggered and overlapping manner in the high-barrier engineering plastic matrix to extend the penetration path. The modified polyurethane coating interface forms a hermetic sealing layer, reduces micropore permeability, and avoids problems such as debonding of the filler and matrix interface, hole formation, and microcrack propagation caused by grease penetration. The modified polyimide has natural low permeability and high polarity chain segments, which combine to form a synergistic barrier structure, thereby improving the waterproof and oil-resistant properties of the engineering plastics. The white carbon black and glass fiber work together to improve the wear resistance and impact resistance of the engineering plastics. The modified polyurethane serves as an intermediate bonding layer, and enhances the interfacial bonding force between the inorganic reinforcing phase and the modified polyimide matrix through covalent bonding, thereby avoiding stress concentration and substrate peeling caused by grease, and further improving the mechanical properties and oil resistance of the engineering plastics.

[0023] The present invention uses a diamine monomer containing a trifluoromethyl group and a diamine monomer containing an ether bond to react with anhydride, and further obtains a modified polyimide through dehydration condensation. The modified polyimide contains an ether bond and a fluorine group, and has strong compatibility with the silicon oxygen chain and the fluorocarbon chain in the modified polyurethane, thereby enhancing the wetting and coating ability of the modified fiber surface, promoting the penetration of the molecular chain, improving the interface bonding strength, and further enhancing the mechanical properties of the engineering plastic. The modified polyimide has a coexistence structure of medium rigidity and flexible segments, and the modified fiber has a rigid core and a flexible coating layer. After the two are melt-blended, a soft and hard combined layered or network structure is formed, which can have It effectively dissipates impact energy. The ether bonds and flexible chain segments in the flexible polyimide have the ability to absorb stress and adjust volume. The coating layer of the modified polyurethane surrounds the rigid filler core to form a buffer zone at the interface. When oil enters the surface of the material, it can delay and alleviate the oil-induced swelling reaction of the polymer chain, significantly improving the impact resistance and oil resistance of engineering plastics. The fluorine element and ether bond in the modified polyimide main chain give it natural low permeability and polar screening properties, forming a micro-scale inorganic barrier with the white carbon black and glass fiber in the modified fiber, forming a multi-phase and multi-level barrier channel, and greatly improving the barrier ability of engineering plastics to water vapor, gas and oil.
