Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic polymers, and particularly relates to a heat-insulating and noise-reducing foam material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Melamine foam is a high-performance thermosetting material with melamine-formaldehyde resin as a base material, which has a unique three-dimensional porous network structure and low thermal conductivity, and performs excellently in heat insulation and noise reduction.

[0003] In terms of heat insulation, the thermal conductivity of melamine foam is a core index for measuring heat insulation performance. The higher the closed cell rate, the less the air convection heat transfer, and the better the heat insulation effect. The temperature resistance range of melamine foam is wide, up to-180 DEG C to 240 DEG C, and it is widely used in building walls, industrial pipelines, air conditioning systems and spacecraft insulation layers, which significantly reduces heat loss and improves equipment operating efficiency.

[0004] In terms of noise reduction, the three-dimensional interconnected grid with high open porosity is the key to sound absorption. After the sound wave enters, it is converted into heat energy through grid vibration and viscous resistance. The sound absorption coefficient of medium and high frequency noise (above 250 Hz) can reach 0.9-0.95. The high open structure absorbs sound wave energy through friction and reflection, and is particularly good at controlling medium and high frequency noise. It is used for engine compartment sound insulation of vehicles, building acoustics engineering and industrial equipment noise reduction, which greatly improves the quality of sound environment. In addition, the material has the advantages of environmental protection, easy processing and aging resistance, and becomes a key technology material for energy saving and environmental protection and acoustic optimization.

[0005] It can be seen that the heat insulation capacity of melamine foam relies on high closed porosity, while noise reduction relies on high open porosity. There is a contradiction between the two main performances in structure. At present, the following solutions are available:

[0006] 1. Surface treatment: by attaching a heat insulation material (such as aluminum foil) on the surface of the melamine foam with high open porosity; and performing heat pressing treatment on the high open foam to form a dense closed cell layer on the surface after heat pressing.

[0007] 2. Mixed material modification: such as embedding silica aerogel (nano-porous structure) into melamine foam, using the ultra-low thermal conductivity of aerogel to compensate for the heat loss of open structure; or adding flexible chain segments such as toughening agents to reduce crosslinking density, so that the foam has both open-cell sound absorption and closed-cell heat insulation properties; and introducing flame retardants to improve flame retardancy while optimizing the distribution of pores by filling inorganic particles.

[0008] 3. Foaming process improvement: by adjusting the foaming process to form a closed-cell-open-cell transition layer from the outside to the inside in the foam;

[0009] 4. Compound: using high closed porosity melamine foam plate on the outer layer; and sandwiching high open porosity melamine foam plate in the inner layer to consider heat insulation and noise reduction.

[0010] But no matter which solution has its limitations and scope, so how to choose the right solution is the problem of preparing melamine resin foam with high insulation and high noise reduction. SUMMARY

[0011] The purpose of the present application is to solve the structural contradiction between the two main performances of melamine foam, namely insulation and noise reduction.

[0012] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a preparation method of insulation and noise reduction foam material, comprising the following steps:

[0013] S1 Preparation of prepolymer solution: take melamine, polyformaldehyde into the reaction kettle, adjust the pH to 10.5-11.5 with strong base; stirring and heating and adding polydiethylene glycol to carry out hydroxymethylation reaction; after the reaction is completed, the reaction is terminated by cooling, and the prepolymer solution is obtained;

[0014] The mass ratio of melamine, polyformaldehyde and polydiethylene glycol is 100:30-40:4-10;

[0015] S2 foaming synthesis: adding water-soluble particles, volatile foaming agent, calcium carbonate, silane, blocked isocyanate, emulsifier and formic acid into the prepolymer solution; stirring to form a foaming liquid;

[0016] The foaming liquid is first foamed by high-frequency microwave and then foamed by low-frequency, and the frequency difference between the two foaming is at least 1000MHz;

[0017] After foaming, high temperature curing is carried out to obtain a preliminary foaming resin;

[0018] The addition amount of water-soluble particles, volatile foaming agent, calcium carbonate, silane, isocyanate, emulsifier and formic acid is respectively:

[0019] Water-soluble particles: 20-50%

[0020] Volatile foaming agent: 5-15%

[0021] Calcium carbonate: 2-5%

[0022] Silane: 0.5-1.5%

[0023] Blocked isocyanate: 2-4%

[0024] Emulsifier: 2-5%

[0025] Formic acid: 0.5-2%

[0026] S3 post-treatment: the preliminary foaming resin is put into water to wash off the water-soluble particles; then dried, and then hot-pressed after spraying glue powder on the surface; insulation and noise reduction foam material is obtained.

[0027] Preferably, the molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol is ≤4000.

[0028] Preferably, the particle size of the calcium carbonate is ≤5μm.

[0029] Preferably, the emulsifier is an anionic surfactant.

[0030] Preferably, the blocked isocyanate is blocked isophorone diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate and / or dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate.

[0031] Preferably, the water-soluble particles are inorganic salts or water-soluble polymers.

[0032] Preferably, the rubber powder is a thermoplastic polymer; the particle size is 20-100μm.

[0033] Preferably, in the preparation of the prepolymer solution of step S1, the reaction temperature of the hydroxymethylation reaction is 85-110℃, and the time is at least 120min.

[0034] Preferably, in the preparation of the foaming synthesis of step S2, the time of high-frequency microwave foaming is 60-90s; the time of low-frequency foaming is 120-180s; the temperature of high-temperature curing is 100-120℃, and the time of high-temperature curing is ≥1h.

[0035] Preferably, in the preparation of the post-processing of step S3, the addition amount of the rubber powder is at least 10% of the mass percentage of the prepolymer; the hot-pressing temperature is ≥120℃; and the holding time is at least 5min.

[0036] In the present application, melamine and paraformaldehyde: as the main reactants, undergo hydroxymethylation reaction under strong alkaline conditions to generate cross-linked melamine resin network, forming the material skeleton.

[0037] The addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) can significantly reduce the viscosity of the resin system; the dispersion of PEG prevents particle aggregation and ensures uniform foaming process; the gas diffusion during foaming is more uniform, reducing the proportion of closed pores and forming a partially open structure.

[0038] And the hydroxyl groups in PEG partially react with the active groups (such as hydroxyl groups) in the resin, introducing flexible long-chain structures into the resin molecular chain, thereby achieving toughening effect.

[0039] Polyethylene glycol (PEG, molecular weight ≤4000): as a toughening agent and reaction medium, it combines with the resin molecular chain through ether bonds, increases the flexible chain segment, and improves the toughness of the foam.

[0040] The water-soluble particles act as sacrificial templates, and after foaming and water washing, they form interconnected pores, optimizing the sound absorption performance.

[0041] The foaming agent selects volatile foaming agents such as alkanes such as n-pentane, cyclopentane, etc.; the gas is generated by heating vaporization to form a uniform cell structure. Compared with azo compounds, a higher open porosity can be formed.

[0042] However, volatile foaming agents are prone to cause wide bubble size distribution, so calcium carbonate is added as a nucleating agent in the present application to reduce the bubble nucleation energy and refine the cells; small cells can force sound waves to reflect multiple times within the pores; and the compressive strength can also be improved.

[0043] It is traditionally believed that the nucleating agent is uniformly dispersed in the foaming liquid, effectively increasing the number of cells, reducing cell merging, and thus improving the closed porosity; but this is related to the amount of addition, and it is generally believed that the optimal amount of addition is 10-30% of calcium carbonate; and the present application needs an internal open structure and an external closed structure; therefore, the amount of addition is much less than that of the prior art, so that the nucleating agent mainly acts on the outside and cooperates with high-frequency microwave foaming to improve the closed porosity on the outside; and due to the small number of internal nucleation sites, the cells are easy to merge to form large-size open structures, which can instead improve the internal open porosity.

[0044] Silane enhances the interface bonding between inorganic fillers (calcium carbonate) and organic matrix, and assists in dispersion.

[0045] The capped isocyanate releases -NCO groups during the foaming stage, crosslinks with the resin to form urea bonds, and improves the closed porosity and flame retardancy.

[0046] In terms of process, the present application forms a high-closed-porosity surface by high-frequency microwave rapid foaming (calcium carbonate nucleation assistance) to block heat; low-frequency microwave slow-release foaming (water-soluble particle pore-forming) to form three-dimensional interconnected pores to dissipate energy through multiple sound reflections.

[0047] In order to further improve the surface closed porosity, thermoplastic glue powder is used to melt into a film under heat pressing to seal the surface pores to improve the thermal insulation performance.

[0048] The present application has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0049] The present application mainly controls the cell structure by microwave frequency foaming to present a high closed porosity on the surface and a high open porosity gradient inside, controls the foaming size by adding a nucleating agent, and forms micron-level interconnected pores by water washing after foaming to further optimize the sound absorption performance; finally, the surface is further improved by heat pressing to improve the surface closed porosity; so that the whole presents a foam structure with high closed porosity on the outside and high open porosity on the inside, external thermal insulation and internal noise reduction, and realizes the dual functions of thermal insulation and noise reduction.

[0150] Performance test

[0151] The products obtained in the above examples are subjected to performance tests, and the test items include:

[0152] Sound absorption coefficient: according to the method recorded in “GB / T 18696.2-2002 Acoustics-Determination of sound absorption coefficients and impedance in impedance tubes-Part 2: Transfer-function method”. The sample size is 29 mm in diameter and 30 mm in length.

[0153] Thermal conductivity: according to the method recorded in “GB / T 10295-2008 Thermal insulation materials-Determination of steady-state thermal resistance and related properties-Heat flow meter method”.

[0154] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0155] Table 1

[0156]

[0157] As shown in Table 1, in the present application:

[0158] Examples 1, 2 and 3 have a slight increase in thermal conductivity (i.e. a slight decrease in thermal insulation effect) as the content of calcium carbonate increases; meanwhile, due to the higher proportion of foaming agent and water-soluble particles added, the sound absorption coefficient increases (better sound insulation effect).

[0159] In Example 4, no water-soluble particles are added, which greatly enhances the role of calcium carbonate as a nucleating agent, and the closed cell rate is greatly improved, and the internal cannot form a through channel. The sound absorption coefficient decreases significantly.

[0160] In Example 5, no calcium carbonate is added, and the thermal conductivity of calcium carbonate is relatively high, so its absence can improve the thermal insulation; but at the same time, it is difficult to control the size of the internal pores, resulting in a slight decrease in the sound absorption coefficient; however, the hot pressing post-processing step of the present application can improve the thermal insulation, so the advantages brought by the absence of calcium carbonate cannot compensate for its disadvantages.

[0161] In Example 6, no hot pressing post-processing is performed, so the surface closed cell rate only relies on frequency division microwave foaming and nucleating agent, which can improve the sound absorption coefficient, but at the same time, the thermal conductivity also increases significantly, which cannot achieve the effect of thermal insulation.

[0162] In Example 7, the water-soluble ions are not washed away, resulting in their retention inside; which increases the number of small heat-conducting channels and blocked gaps inside, resulting in a significant deterioration of performance.

[0163] Examples 8 and 9 both do not have frequency division foaming, and the long high-frequency foaming time leads to the merging of bubbles, and the open cell rate decreases; at the same time, the density may increase due to the collapse of the bubbles; while low-frequency foaming leads to incomplete foaming and uneven distribution of bubbles, affecting the uniformity of sound absorption; and the loose bubble structure may reduce the heat insulation performance. Therefore, the sound insulation and thermal insulation performance of Examples 8 and 9 are not as good as Example 1.

[0164] Example 10 uses azodicarbonamide as the foaming agent; due to the different mechanism, the generated foam has a high closed cell rate; therefore, the thermal insulation effect is better; but because the inside and outside both have a high closed cell rate, the sound insulation effect decreases significantly.

[0165] Example 11 uses an excessive amount of calcium carbonate nucleating agent, which greatly increases the closed cell rate; although theoretically it helps to reduce the thermal conductivity; but the calcium carbonate remains inside the foam, which has high thermal conductivity, which will also cause the thermal conductivity to increase; from the experimental results, the increase is much greater than the decrease, resulting in a significant deterioration of sound insulation and thermal insulation performance.

[0166] The above detailed description is a specific description of one of the possible embodiments of the present application, which is not used to limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent implementation or change made without departing from the present application shall be included in the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
