Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of coating additives, in particular to a modified cellulose additive for coatings and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key material for protecting substrates, prolonging their service life and endowing them with specific functions, the development of coatings has always been closely related to the demand of mankind for continuously improving the performance of materials. From early natural oils and raw lacquer to modern synthetic resins (such as alkyd, acrylic, epoxy, and polyurethane), coating technology has undergone tremendous evolution. Among them, outdoor protective coatings need to be exposed to sunlight, rain, temperature changes, pollutants, and microorganisms for a long time, and their performance is subject to extremely high requirements.

[0003] Traditional outdoor coatings, such as acrylic coatings or alkyd resin coatings, mainly focus on providing basic decorative and certain weather resistance. However, they generally have the defect of insufficient durability: they are easily powdered and discolored under the action of ultraviolet light, the mechanical strength of the coating gradually decreases, and they are difficult to resist the penetration and adhesion of pollutants such as oil stains and acid rain, leading to appearance contamination and degradation of protective function. The introduction of functional additives can effectively endow the coating with oil resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties, but in order to make the outdoor coating have more properties, a large amount of additives need to be added, the introduction of a large amount of additives undoubtedly increases the cost, and the simultaneous use of multiple initiators also faces the problem of compatibility, which may lead to the deterioration of the mechanical and barrier properties of the coating. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application is based on biological material cellulose to prepare an additive material for coatings, which can effectively improve the antibacterial corrosion resistance and durability of the material when added to the coating, avoiding the problem of phase separation caused by the simultaneous use of multiple functional additives.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions: A preparation method of a modified cellulose additive for coatings, comprising the following steps: S1, preparing titanium dioxide sol from tetrabutyl titanate; S2, first forming an acid anhydride intermediate from chloroacetic acid and trimethyl acetyl chloride; adding hydroxyethyl cellulose and deionized water into a reaction bottle, ultrasonic treatment for 30 min, adding the acid anhydride intermediate for room temperature reaction for 4-6 h; adding trimethylamine solution, heating to 60℃ for reaction for 3 h, cooling, and adjusting the pH to neutral to obtain a modified cellulose dispersion; S3, adding the titanium dioxide sol into the system of step S2, stirring for reaction for 4-8 h to obtain a composite dispersion; S4, the fluorine-containing reactive monomer and the silicon-containing reactive monomer are mixed with methyl methacrylate, deionized water and a reactive emulsifier are added, and high-speed shearing emulsification is performed for 15 min to form a monomer pre-emulsion; S5, the composite dispersion liquid of step S3 is heated to 70-80℃, one-third of the monomer pre-emulsion is added, an initiator ammonium persulfate is added, and reaction is performed for 30 min; the remaining monomer pre-emulsion is slowly added dropwise to the composite dispersion liquid, while the initiator ammonium persulfate is supplemented, and reaction is performed for 6 h; after cooling, the product is sieved and then dispersed in deionized water to obtain the product.

[0006] Further, the specific process of step S1 is as follows: 10-20 parts by weight of tetrabutyl titanate is stirred and mixed with anhydrous ethanol in a volume ratio of 1:4, and 1-3 parts by weight of acetylacetone is added to form solution A; 3-10 parts of glacial acetic acid is mixed with 50-100 parts by weight of a 20% ethanol solution to form solution B, solution B is added dropwise to solution A, and stirring is continued until a clear and transparent titanium dioxide sol is obtained; the product is left to stand overnight for use.

[0007] Further, the preparation process of the acid anhydride intermediate is as follows: Chloroacetic acid, triethylamine and DMF are added to a reaction bottle, stirred and mixed uniformly, and a solution of trimethylacetyl chloride in DMF is added dropwise, stirring is performed for 2-8 h, reaction is completed, the precipitate is removed by filtration, and the filtrate is the acid anhydride intermediate.

[0008] Further, the mass ratio of the hydroxyethyl cellulose to the acid anhydride intermediate is 1:0.5-2.

[0009] Further, in step S4, the amount ratio of the titanium dioxide sol to the modified cellulose dispersion liquid, in terms of solid content, is 1-3 g:5 g.

[0010] Further, in step S4, the fluorine-containing reactive monomer is selected from one or more of trifluoroethyl methacrylate, hexafluorobutyl methacrylate, dodecafluoroheptyl acrylate and perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate; the silicon-containing reactive monomer is selected from one or more of γ-methacryloyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, vinyl triethoxysilane and vinyl trimethoxysilane; and the reactive emulsifier is one or more of allyloxy hydroxypropyl sodium sulfonate, vinyl sodium sulfonate and m-styrene sodium sulfonate.

[0011] Further, in step S4, the molar ratio of the fluorine-containing reactive monomer, the silicon-containing reactive monomer, methyl methacrylate and the reactive emulsifier is 1-3:0.5-1.5:5-10:0.5-1.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S5, the ratio of the composite dispersion to the monomer preemulsion is recorded as 5~15:10~20 based on their solid content.

[0013] The present invention further provides a modified cellulose additive for coatings prepared by the above preparation method.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention focuses on the preparation of an additive that can be added to outdoor coatings to improve their antifouling, anticorrosive, and aging resistance by using natural polymer material cellulose and inorganic material titanium dioxide; by grafting chlorinated betaine onto the surface of cellulose to provide antibacterial and antifouling properties, and by preparing nano-titanium dioxide sol to improve ultraviolet shielding, the two can achieve uniform physical mixing and adsorption through intermolecular hydrogen bonding forces and hydrogen bond interactions; then, a hydrophobic monomer prepolymer composed of fluorine-containing reactive monomers, silicon-containing reactive monomers, and methyl methacrylate polymerizes on the surface of the composite to form a core-shell structure, further improving the density of the composite material; since the polymer chains on the surface contain abundant siloxanes, adding it to the coating can effectively combine with the resin in the coating, and the water-dispersible emulsion form is compatible with various water-based resin systems, is not prone to agglomeration, and the introduction of an additive can bring functions such as aging resistance, antibacterial and antifouling properties, avoiding the use of excessively multifunctional additives.
