Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of underwater adhesives, and in particular relates to an underwater adhesive and a preparation method thereof, and a small molecule driven bonding method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of marine resource development, underwater engineering repair, and shipbuilding, the demand for underwater adhesives has been growing. However, traditional underwater adhesives still face many technical bottlenecks in practical application.

[0003] The underwater environment is complex, and adhesives are easily affected by water flow, pressure, and temperature fluctuations during the curing process, resulting in insufficient interfacial bonding strength. Existing adhesives often have difficulty forming a stable, high-strength bonding layer underwater due to incomplete curing or poor interfacial permeability, and are particularly prone to debonding failure under dynamic loads. Water molecules will penetrate the adhesive-substrate interface, triggering hydrolysis or swelling, and reducing the durability of the bond. Some adhesives (such as epoxy resins) will experience a significant decrease in mechanical properties after long-term immersion in water, making it difficult to meet the requirements of deep-sea or long-term underwater service. Most underwater adhesives are designed for common materials such as metal and concrete, but have poor adaptability to glass, ceramics, biological tissue surfaces, or hydrophobic plastic surfaces. Summary of the Invention

After reacting at room temperature for a certain time, the resulting mixed system is cast into a film, and the solvent is evaporated and removed at room temperature or under heating conditions to obtain an underwater adhesive film.

[0013] Furthermore, the molecular weight of the perfluoropolyether diol in step 1 is 500, 1000 or 2000, and the perfluoropolyether diol is dried in a vacuum oven at 90°C for 8 to 10 hours before use; the isocyanate is one or a combination of polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate or lysine diisocyanate; and the tin-based catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate or stannous chloride.

[0019] Furthermore, the material to be bonded includes wood, bamboo, stainless steel, glass, ceramic, aluminum sheet, plastic or rubber, and the plastic is polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene or methyl methacrylate.

[0020] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0021] The underwater adhesive provided by this invention utilizes perfluoropolyether diol (PFPE) and polylactic acid polyol (PLA-polyol) as the soft segment matrix and isocyanate as the hard segment crosslinker. Through molecular structural design, this adhesive film material exhibits both hydrophobicity and biocompatibility. This invention innovatively proposes a small-molecule-driven curing mechanism. By spraying small-molecule organic compounds such as formic acid, acetic acid, and methanol onto the film surface, they rapidly penetrate the film interface, triggering a rapid crosslinking reaction of the isocyanate, achieving efficient curing in underwater environments. This overcomes the challenges of slow underwater curing and low strength of traditional adhesives. After small-molecule-driven curing, a dense crosslinked network is formed, achieving underwater bond strengths as high as 2.48±0.38 MPa. The perfluoropolyether segments impart superhydrophobicity to the film, making the small-molecule-driven underwater adhesive provided by this invention compatible with a broad range of materials, including metals, plastics, rubber, and ceramics, both homogeneous and heterogeneous materials. It is particularly suitable for complex applications such as underwater equipment repair and biomedical bonding. The invention introduces polylactic acid polyol to reduce the environmental load of perfluoropolymer, and the spraying process is simple, does not require complicated equipment, and is suitable for industrial application.

[0075] The preparation method of the adhesive in this comparative example is:

[0076] 26.5 parts of perfluoropolyether diol were added to a three-necked flask with a stirring paddle, heated to 80°C in an oil bath, and the moisture and air in the system were extracted using a vacuum pump. Subsequently, 2.68 parts of isophorone diisocyanate and 0.6 parts of tin-based catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate were added under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 36 hours. 10 parts of butanone were added to reduce the concentration of the reaction system. The resulting mixed system was cast on a clean polypropylene plate and dried in a 50°C oven for 24 hours to evaporate and remove the solvent, obtaining a control adhesive film with a thickness of 0.002 cm.

[0077] The underwater adhesive films prepared in Comparative Example 1, Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3 were used for underwater bonding of glass to glass, stainless steel to stainless steel and polytetrafluoroethylene to polytetrafluoroethylene, respectively. The specific bonding methods were as follows:

[0078] Evenly spray 95% methanol on both sides of the underwater adhesive film at a spray volume of 0.1 mL / cm 2, The sprayed adhesive film is laid between the materials to be bonded, and a vertical pressure of 0.05 MPa is applied and then placed in fresh water or sea water to complete the bonding and curing at room temperature.

The bonding and curing time is 8 hours, and the underwater bonding strength is 0.14±0.01 Mpa.

[0082] Methanol drive: Spray 98% methanol evenly on both sides of the underwater adhesive film at a spray volume of 0.05 mL / cm 2 The sprayed film is laid between the materials to be bonded, and after applying a vertical pressure of 0.5 MPa, it is placed in fresh water or sea water to complete room temperature bonding and curing.
