Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of surfactant preparation, in particular to a modified polyether surfactant and application thereof in pesticides. Background Art

[0002] Traditional emulsifiers and dispersants are mostly nonionic surfactants such as alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, alkylphenol polyoxyalkyl ethers, arylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers, and arylphenol polyoxyalkyl ethers, combined with anionic surfactants such as long-chain alkyl benzene sulfonates with 6-22 carbon atoms, sulfosuccinate diesters, sulfates, phosphates, and polycarboxylates. Among these, nonionic surfactants such as alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers and alkylphenol polyoxyalkyl ethers are highly toxic to aquatic organisms and have slow biodegradation. In 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2003 / 53 / EC, which prohibits the use of alkylphenol ethoxylates above a limit of 0.1%.

[0003] Silicone agricultural adjuvants are known for their excellent wettability, low surface tension, and super-ductility. For example, the method for preparing a polyether-grafted trisiloxane surfactant, as announced in Announcement No. CN105669968B, produces a polyether-grafted trisiloxane surfactant. This method, when mixed with pesticides, can reduce the amount of pesticide and water used, enhance the pesticide's control effect, conserve water resources, and protect the environment. However, silicones can decompose the cuticle and wax layer of leaf epidermal cells, resulting in a decrease in the plant's water retention capacity. This is especially true for crops with thin wax layers (such as cucumbers, beans, and eggplants), which can easily cause leaves to lose their green color, dry out, wilt, and even fall off. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a modified polyether surfactant and its application in pesticides. By forming a core-shell structure with a diradical polysilsesquioxane as a core, an amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder as a shell, and a polyether segment as an intermediate connecting layer of a flexible segment, the modified polyether surfactant can be applied to pesticides to significantly reduce surface tension. The shell layer of the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder and the nano-scale concave-convex structure of the wax layer of leaves produce a mechanical interlocking effect. At the same time, the shell layer of the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder can physically block direct contact between the organosilicon segments of POSS and the environment, thereby preventing the strong permeability from causing decomposition of the cuticle and wax layer of leaf epidermal cells.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A modified polyether surfactant is prepared by the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: hydrolyze vinyltriethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane into silanols under acidic conditions, and then condense them to obtain diradical polysilsesquioxane.

[0008] Step 2: Allyl polyether undergoes a mercapto-ene click reaction with diradical polysilsesquioxane to obtain vinyl polyether, which is then subjected to a hydrosilylation reaction with (3-glycidylpropoxy)trimethoxysilane under the catalysis of chloroplatinic acid to obtain epoxidized polyether.

[0009] Step 3: The zirconium metal ion is coordinated with the organic ligand 2-aminoterephthalic acid to obtain an amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder, and the amino groups on its surface are used to attack the epoxy groups of the epoxidized polyether to obtain a modified polyether surfactant.

[0010] Furthermore, the specific preparation steps of the digroup polysilsesquioxane are as follows:

Then, 2-aminoterephthalic acid is added, ultrasonically dispersed for 40-60 minutes, and kept at 120-130°C for 24-26 hours. The mixture is naturally cooled to room temperature and centrifuged at 2000-3000 r / min for 3-4 minutes. The precipitate is washed with N,N-dimethylformamide 2-3 times, then washed with dichloromethane by centrifugation 2-3 times, and vacuum dried at 60-80°C for 1-2 hours to obtain an amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder.

[0021] Furthermore, the specific method of centrifugal washing is: dispersing the precipitate in dichloromethane, stirring at 20-25°C and 400-500 r / min for 2-3 days, centrifuging at 2000-3000 r / min for 3-4 minutes, filtering, and washing the filter cake with dichloromethane 2-3 times.

[0027] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0028] 1. A modified polyether surfactant prepared by the present invention forms a core-shell structure with a diamino-polysilsesquioxane as a core, an amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder as a shell, and a polyether segment as an intermediate connecting layer of a flexible segment. When applied to pesticides, the modified polyether surfactant can significantly reduce surface tension. The shell layer of the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder and the nano-scale concave-convex structure of the leaf wax layer produce a mechanical interlocking effect. At the same time, the shell layer of the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder can physically block direct contact between the organosilicon segments of the POSS and the environment, thereby preventing the strong permeability from causing decomposition of the cuticle and wax layer of the leaf epidermal cells.

[0029] 2. The core-shell structure modified polyether surfactant of the present invention can significantly reduce surface tension, which is far lower than that of traditional hydrocarbon surfactants and unmodified polyether surfactants, achieving rapid spreading in pesticides, forming a uniform drug film on plant leaves, and improving adhesion efficiency. The core-shell structure physically blocks direct contact between the silicone segments of the POSS and the environment through a rigid shell, avoiding strong permeability leading to decomposition of the cuticle and wax layer of leaf epidermal cells, resulting in a decrease in the plant's water retention capacity and stress resistance; the shell layer of the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder and the nano-scale concave-convex structure of the leaf wax layer produce a mechanical interlocking effect, while the rigid skeleton of the POSS core resists the shear force of rainwater, increases droplet adhesion, and improves rainwater erosion resistance.

[0030] 3. The present invention obtains a cage-shaped POSS structure through silane hydrolysis and condensation. The Si-O-Si cage structure has a rigid inorganic skeleton and low affinity for water. The vinyl groups it carries are non-polar groups, which can reduce surface energy and further improve hydrophobicity. When applied to pesticides, it can significantly reduce surface tension. The rigid inorganic skeleton and amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder have strong adsorption effects, which can increase the sustained release of the pesticide.

The filter cake was washed twice with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, respectively, and dried in a vacuum at 60°C for 1 h to obtain a dimeric polysilsesquioxane.

[0034] Vinyltriethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane are hydrolyzed into silanols under acidic conditions, and then condensed to obtain a double-group polysilsesquioxane containing vinyl and mercapto groups.

[0035] S2: Add 50 mL of allyl polyether, 30 g of dialkyl polysilsesquioxane and 2 L of tetrahydrofuran into a reactor, stir at 20 ° C and 400 r / min for 20 minutes, then add 1 g of photoinitiator 2,2-dihydroxymethyl propionic acid, and cure for 6 hours under the conditions of ultraviolet light wavelength of 365 nm and light intensity of 6 mW / cm. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the double bond in the allyl polyether and the thiol group of the dialkyl polysilsesquioxane undergo a thiol-ene click reaction. Filter, wash the filter cake twice with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol respectively, and dry it in vacuum at 60 ° C for 1 hour to obtain vinyl polyether.

[0040] The specific method of centrifugal washing is as follows: dispersing the precipitate in dichloromethane, stirring at 20°C and 400 r / min for 2 days, centrifuging at 2000 r / min for 3 minutes, filtering, and washing the filter cake twice with dichloromethane.

[0041] 2-Aminoterephthalic acid serves as an organic ligand and coordinates with zirconium metal ions in N,N-dimethylformamide to produce amino-terminated zirconium metal-organic framework powder.

[0042] S5: 30 g of epoxidized polyether, 35 g of amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder and 1 L of N,N-dimethylformamide were added to a reactor, stirred at 20°C and 400 r / min for 20 min, and then 3 mL of benzyltriethylammonium chloride as a catalyst was added. The mixture was heated to 115°C and the reaction was continued for 2 h. The mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a modified polyether surfactant.

[0043] A modified polyether surfactant is obtained by synthesizing amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder with zirconium as the metal center and using the amino group to attack the epoxy group of epoxidized polyether.

[0044] Example 2: A modified polyether surfactant is prepared by the following steps:

[0045] S1: 35 g of vinyltriethoxysilane, 45 g of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane and 850 mL of acetone were added to a reactor, stirred at 43 ° C and 450 r / min for 25 min, and then 1.2 mL of 1 mol / L glacial acetic acid solution was added as a catalyst. The reaction was continued for 73 h. The product was placed in a mixed solution of acetone and dichloromethane (volume ratio 1:1) for recrystallization and filtered. The filter cake was washed twice with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, respectively, and dried in a vacuum at 70 ° C for 1.2 h to obtain a digroup polysilsesquioxane.

[0046] S2: Add 55 mL of allyl polyether, 35 g of dialkyl polysilsesquioxane and 2.3 L of tetrahydrofuran into the reactor, stir at 23 ° C and 450 r / min for 25 minutes, then add 1.2 g of photoinitiator 2,2-dihydroxymethyl propionic acid, and cure for 6.5 hours under the conditions of ultraviolet light wavelength of 370 nm and light intensity of 6 mW / cm. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the double bond in the allyl polyether and the thiol group of the dialkyl polysilsesquioxane undergo a thiol-ene click reaction.

It was vacuum dried at 70°C for 1.2 h to obtain amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder.

The mixture was heated to 117.5 ° C and the reaction was continued for 2.5 h. The mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a modified polyether surfactant.

[0051] Example 3: A modified polyether surfactant is prepared by the following steps:

[0052] S1: Add 40g of vinyltriethoxysilane, 50g of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane and 900mL of acetone into a reactor, stir at 45°C and 500r / min for 30min, then add 2mL of 1mol / L glacial acetic acid solution as a catalyst, continue the reaction for 74h, and recrystallize the product in a mixed solution of acetone and dichloromethane (volume ratio 1:1), filter, and wash the filter cake with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol three times respectively, and dry in a vacuum at 80°C for 2h to obtain a digroup polysilsesquioxane.

[0053] S2: Add 60 mL of allyl polyether, 40 g of dialkyl polysilsesquioxane and 3 L of tetrahydrofuran into the reactor, stir at 25 ° C and 500 r / min for 30 minutes, then add 2 g of photoinitiator 2,2-dihydroxymethyl propionic acid, and cure for 7 hours under the conditions of ultraviolet light wavelength of 380 nm and light intensity of 7 mW / cm. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the double bond in the allyl polyether and the thiol group of the dialkyl polysilsesquioxane undergo a thiol-ene click reaction. Filter, wash the filter cake with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol three times respectively, and dry it in a vacuum at 80 ° C for 2 hours to obtain vinyl polyether.

[0054] S3: Add 40 mL of vinyl polyether and 600 mL of 0.05 mol / L chloroplatinic acid-ethanol solution into the reactor, stir for 30 min under nitrogen protection, 80 ° C and 500 r / min, then add 14 g of (3-glycidylpropoxy)trimethoxysilane, continue stirring and react for 14 h, cool naturally to room temperature, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain epoxidized polyether.

The mixture was naturally cooled to room temperature and distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a modified polyether surfactant.

[0058] Comparative Example 1: Based on Example 3, without going through step S1, the vinyl polyether in step S3 is replaced by a mixture of vinyltriethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane in a mass ratio of 4:5, and the other steps remain unchanged to obtain a modified polyether surfactant.

[0059] Comparative Example 2: Based on Example 3, step S4 is not performed, the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder in step S5 is discarded, and the other steps remain unchanged to obtain a modified polyether surfactant.

The results are shown in Table 2.

[0063]

[0064] Table 2 Pesticide emulsification and suspension rate test results

[0065] As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the surface tension, critical micelle concentration, wettability and spreading ability of the modified polyether surfactants obtained in Examples 1 to 3 are significantly better than those of the comparative example. When used in pesticides, their emulsification and suspension rate are significantly better than those of the comparative example, indicating that the modified polyether surfactants prepared by the present invention can be used in pesticides.

[0066] In Comparative Example 1, the vinyl polyether is replaced by a mixture of vinyltriethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane in a mass ratio of 4:5. A cage-shaped POSS structure is obtained by hydrolysis and condensation of silane. The Si-O-Si cage structure has a rigid inorganic skeleton and has a low affinity for water. The vinyl groups it carries are non-polar groups, which can reduce surface energy and further improve hydrophobicity. When applied to pesticides, it can significantly reduce surface tension, which is much lower than that of traditional hydrocarbon surfactants and unmodified polyether surfactants. It can achieve rapid spreading in pesticides, form a uniform drug film on the plant leaves, and improve adhesion efficiency. The rigid inorganic skeleton and the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder have a strong adsorption effect, which can increase the sustained release of pesticides.

[0067] In Comparative Example 2, the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder is discarded, and the polyether segment is grafted onto the surface of the digroup polysilsesquioxane through a thiol-ene click reaction to obtain a vinyl polyether. The vinyl polyether is then subjected to a silylation reaction with the silicon-hydrogen bond of (3-glycidylpropoxy)trimethoxysilane under the catalysis of chloroplatinic acid to obtain an epoxidized polyether. The amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder is uniformly coated on the surface by attacking the epoxy group on the surface of the epoxidized polyether, thereby obtaining a structure with the digroup polysilsesquioxane as the core, the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder as the shell, and the polyether segment as the intermediate connecting layer of the flexible segment. The core-shell structure physically blocks the direct contact of the organic silicon segment of the POSS with the environment through the rigid shell, thereby avoiding the decomposition of the cuticle and wax layer of the leaf epidermal cells due to strong permeability, resulting in a decrease in the water retention capacity and stress resistance of the plant.

[0068] In Comparative Example 3, (3-glycidyl propoxy)trimethoxysilane is replaced by (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The silicon-hydrogen bond in (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane undergoes a silicon-hydrogen addition reaction with the double bond in the vinyl polyether under the catalysis of chloroplatinic acid to obtain a POSS structure with a sulfhydryl group. The sulfhydryl group cannot chemically bond with the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder in step S5, and can only partially deposit the amino-terminated zirconium metal organic framework powder on the surface by adsorption. The resulting core-shell structure is unstable, cannot fully exert the sustained-release effect on pesticides, and cannot effectively block the polyether chain segments from directly contacting the leaf surface.

[0069] While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
