Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials, and particularly to a high-temperature resistant, low-permeability PTFE pipe. Background Technology
[0002] Heat exchangers are indispensable equipment for heat exchange and transfer in chemical production processes. These heat exchangers often involve highly corrosive and oxidizing materials, therefore, the materials used to manufacture them must possess strong corrosion resistance. Conventional metals are clearly insufficient, while materials with corrosion resistance, such as graphite, ceramics, and glass, have drawbacks such as fragility, large size, and poor thermal conductivity.
[0003] Therefore, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) heat exchangers were developed. These heat exchanger tubes are made of PTFE, which possesses extremely stable chemical properties, excellent corrosion resistance, and a smooth tube wall surface that is not prone to scaling, while also exhibiting moderate flexibility. These characteristics allow PTFE heat exchangers to replace metal heat exchangers for heat exchange with various highly corrosive media, such as strong acid and alkali solutions. However, PTFE has a low thermal conductivity, and compared to metals, its mechanical properties and high-temperature resistance are inferior. While using small-diameter, thin-walled tubes can compensate for some thermal conductivity issues, the compensation is limited. This affects the effectiveness of PTFE heat exchanger tubes as heat transfer components and limits their application scenarios, currently typically only suitable for lower pressure and lower temperature applications. Furthermore, heat exchanger tubes used with highly corrosive liquids place higher demands on the high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and impermeability of PTFE. Patent CN114230835B discloses a low-permeability polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tube and its preparation method. This method improves the density and thus permeability resistance of PTFE tubes by impregnating or spraying them with PFA emulsion. While it achieves some improvement in permeability resistance, it does not address the high-temperature resistance and thermal conductivity of the PTFE tubes, making it insufficient for applications requiring tubes for highly corrosive liquids.
[0004] Therefore, it is now necessary to improve existing technologies to provide more reliable solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0046] This invention provides a high-temperature resistant and low-permeability polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pipe. By compounding and modifying the PTFE material, the defects of PTFE, such as poor thermal conductivity and insufficient high-temperature resistance, can be effectively overcome. The prepared PTFE pipe can better meet the application requirements of heat exchanger tubes used for highly corrosive liquids. On the one hand, it can improve the application effect of PTFE heat exchanger tubes, and on the other hand, it can provide more possibilities for expanding its application scenarios.
[0047] In this invention, the addition of poly(p-hydroxybenzoate) to the polytetrafluoroethylene system can improve the thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance of the prepared polytetrafluoroethylene pipe, and further enhance its resistance to organic solvent corrosion.
[0048] The modified boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler PMMA@CNTs-BN prepared in this invention is obtained by first synthesizing boron nitride grains in situ on borate carbon nanotubes via a hydrothermal method using a coupled reaction mechanism, and then grafting polymethyl methacrylate onto the carbon nanotubes based on an in-situ precipitation polymerization reaction. The carbon nanotubes in PMMA@CNTs-BN significantly enhance the mechanical strength, high-temperature resistance, and thermal conductivity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials. The boron nitride grains on them can improve the high-temperature corrosion resistance of PTFE materials and fill the gaps between the substrates, enhancing the density of the substrate and thus improving the permeability resistance of the PTFE tubing. Furthermore, the carbon nanotubes can also reduce permeability by increasing the crystallinity of PTFE. The grafted polymer polymethyl methacrylate can significantly improve the compatibility of boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) systems, enabling uniform dispersion. This simultaneously solves the defects of easy agglomeration and poor dispersion of carbon nanotubes and boron nitride in PTFE. The carbon nanotube-loaded boron nitride structure, combined with the grafting of polymethyl methacrylate onto the carbon nanotubes, can also overcome the problem that boron nitride is not easy to surface modify to improve its dispersion ability in polymers.

[0076] Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) heat exchangers use PTFE tubes as heat transfer components. PTFE is chemically stable, possesses excellent corrosion resistance, and has a smooth tube wall surface that is not prone to scaling, while also exhibiting moderate flexibility. These characteristics allow PTFE heat exchangers to replace metal heat exchangers for heat exchange with various highly corrosive media, such as strong acid and alkali solutions. However, PTFE has a low thermal conductivity, and compared to metals, its mechanical properties and high-temperature resistance are inferior. While using small-diameter, thin-walled tubes can compensate for some thermal conductivity issues, the compensation is limited. This affects the effectiveness of PTFE heat exchanger tubes as heat transfer components and limits their application scenarios, currently typically only suitable for lower pressure and lower temperature applications. This invention, through compound modification of PTFE materials, effectively overcomes these shortcomings. On the one hand, it improves the application performance of PTFE heat exchanger tubes; on the other hand, it provides more possibilities for broadening their application scenarios.
[0077] Poly(p-hydroxybenzoate) has excellent high-temperature resistance and organic solvent resistance, and its thermal conductivity is significantly better than that of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with a thermal conductivity coefficient approximately 3 to 5 times that of PTFE (Zhang Zaili, Zeng Zimin, Li Jia, et al. High-temperature resistant and low-wear polyphenylene ester modified polytetrafluoroethylene [J]. New Chemical Materials, 2002, 30(8):5.DOI:10.3969 / j.issn.1006-3536.2002.08.001.). In this invention, its compounding into the PTFE system can improve the thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance of the prepared PTFE pipes, and further enhance their resistance to organic solvent corrosion.
[0078] The modified boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler prepared in this invention, PMMA@CNTs-BN, is obtained by first synthesizing boron nitride grains in situ on borate carbon nanotubes via a hydrothermal method using a coupled reaction mechanism, and then grafting polymethyl methacrylate onto the carbon nanotubes based on an in-situ precipitation polymerization reaction. Carbon nanotubes significantly enhance the mechanical strength, high-temperature resistance, and thermal conductivity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials. The boron nitride grains on the nanotubes improve the high-temperature corrosion resistance of PTFE materials and fill the gaps between the substrates, enhancing the substrate's density and thus improving the PTFE tubing's permeability resistance. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes can reduce permeability by increasing the crystallinity of PTFE. Finally, the grafted polymer polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) significantly improves the compatibility of boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler in the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) system, enabling uniform dispersion. This simultaneously addresses the shortcomings of carbon nanotubes and boron nitride in PTFE, such as easy agglomeration and poor dispersion. The structure of carbon nanotubes loaded with boron nitride, combined with PMMA grafting onto the carbon nanotubes, also overcomes the difficulty of surface modification to improve the dispersion ability of boron nitride in polymers. The synthesis mechanism and its reinforcing and modifying mechanism on PTFE are described in detail below to facilitate understanding of the invention.
[0079] Synthesis mechanism
[0080] (1) First, a rich number of carboxyl functional groups are introduced on the surface of carbon nanotubes by strong acid oxidation. Then, the amino group on 3-aminophenylboronic acid reacts with the carboxyl group to fix the boric acid group on the carbon nanotubes in a covalent manner, thus obtaining borated carbon nanotubes.
[0081] (2) Then, using the coupling effect, boron nitride crystals were synthesized in situ on borate carbon nanotubes via a hydrothermal method: borate carbon nanotubes were mixed with sodium azide and white phosphorus, and a hydrothermal reaction was carried out under high temperature and high pressure. The borate groups on the borate carbon nanotubes reacted with sodium azide in the presence of white phosphorus, and boron nitride microcrystals were generated in situ on the carbon nanotubes. The main reaction processes involved are as follows:
[0082] NaN3→Na+N2+N * ;
[0083] Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂ * ;
[0084] BO2 - +P(H * → B * +PO4 3- ;
[0085] B * +N *→BN.
[0086] Where, N * H * B * Each represents a corresponding atom.
[0087] The above reaction principle is based on the following reference: Yu Meiyan, Xu Hongyan, Cui Deliang, et al. Coupling effect in hydrothermal synthesis of boron nitride [C] / / Progress in Nanomaterials and Technological Applications - Proceedings of the Third National Conference on Nanomaterials and Technological Applications (Volume 1). 2003. DOI:ConferenceArticle / 5aa57fabc095d72220dc7d1a.
[0088] The active nitrogen atoms (N) produced by the decomposition of sodium azide at high temperature * If there is not enough time to react with the active boron atoms (B * When combined, it will combine with active nitrogen atoms to form N2, which leads to a decrease in BN synthesis efficiency. However, in this invention, the boric acid groups are uniformly distributed on the surface of carbon nanotubes, which has better dispersion uniformity. Moreover, active nitrogen atoms are easily adsorbed onto carbon nanotubes and efficiently combine with the active boron atoms generated on them, thereby effectively improving the BN generation efficiency.
[0089] (3) Finally, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) grafting is achieved through in-situ precipitation polymerization of PMMA monomers on carbon nanotubes. The main mechanism is as follows:
[0090] In the poor solvent of methyl methacrylate, after the reaction is initiated, oligomers soluble in the solvent are first formed. As the polymer free radical chains grow, their solubility in the poor solvent decreases, and they are adsorbed onto the surface of carbon nanotubes. Once the polymer free radical chains reach a critical chain length in the poor solvent, the active polymer free radicals of the critical chain length can be adsorbed onto the carbon nanotubes and react chemically with the residual active sites thereon. The polymer chains intertwine and interpenetrate on the carbon nanotubes, forming a coating graft. (Guo Guiquan. Polymer-Modified Carbon Nanotubes and Their Applications in Catalysis and Biology [D]. Fudan University, 2007. DOI:10.7666 / d.y1171123.)
[0091] Enhancement mechanism
[0092] The thermal conductivity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ranges from 0.167 to 0.35 W / (m·K), while that of carbon nanotubes reaches approximately 3000-3500 W / (m·K), and that of boron nitride is approximately 250-300 W / (m·K). Adding carbon nanotubes and boron nitride to PTFE composites can significantly improve the thermal conductivity of PTFE.
[0093] Meanwhile, carbon nanotubes also have excellent mechanical strength and high temperature resistance. When carbon nanotubes are uniformly dispersed in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), they can form a network structure, which can significantly improve the thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the substrate. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes can reduce the permeability of PTFE tubing by increasing the crystallinity of PTFE.
[0094] In-situ grafted boron nitride microcrystals onto carbon nanotubes can serve as connecting nodes in the network structure, providing rigid support points and thus further improving mechanical and thermal properties. Uniformly dispersed boron nitride microcrystals can also enhance the high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the substrate. Furthermore, due to their nanoscale characteristics, boron nitride microcrystals can fill gaps in the substrate and enhance its density, thereby improving the permeability resistance of PTFE tubing. The mechanical tensile effect of boron nitride microcrystals on carbon nanotubes can reduce their curling.
[0095] Grafting modification of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) onto carbon nanotubes can significantly improve the compatibility of boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite fillers in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) systems, enabling uniform dispersion. The construction of a carbon nanotube-boron nitride microcrystalline composite system, coupled with PMMA grafting modification, can simultaneously address the defects of easy agglomeration and poor dispersion of carbon nanotubes and boron nitride in PTFE, and overcome the problem of difficulty in surface modification of boron nitride to improve its dispersion ability in polymers. Ultimately, carbon nanotubes and boron nitride can fully exert their respective performance-enhancing effects on PTFE materials, achieving a synergistic reinforcement effect and significantly improving the high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, impermeability, and mechanical strength of PTFE tubing.

[0201] 2. Thermal conductivity
[0202] A thermal conductivity meter was used, referring to the standard: GB / T1029-2015 Determination of thermal conductivity of non-metallic solid materials.
[0203] 3. Permeability coefficient
[0204] The test was conducted according to the method provided in patent CN114230835B, "A Low-Permeability Polytetrafluoroethylene Tube and Its Preparation Method," as follows:
[0205] (1) Seal the front end of the polytetrafluoroethylene pipe (diameter 12 mm, length 200 mm, wall thickness 2 mm) prepared in the examples and comparative examples, then inject 45% sulfuric acid, and then seal the end.
[0206] (2) Immerse the polytetrafluoroethylene pipe completely in a container filled with deionized water, control the pure water temperature at 25°C, and seal the container.
[0207] (3) After 10 days, sample the pure water in the container and test the concentration of sulfate ions. Calculate the permeability coefficient using the following formula:
[0208] Permeability coefficient k = (sulfate ion permeation amount μg) ÷ (permeability area cm²) 2 ) ÷ (number of days elapsed) × (thickness of the pipe in cm);
[0209] The sulfate ion permeation rate is calculated by the concentration of sulfate ions in deionized water and the volume of water, and the permeation area is the surface area of the polytetrafluoroethylene pipe.

Then, the permeability coefficient at 90°C was tested using the same method.

[0221] In Comparative Example 1, the absence of modified boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler resulted in a significant decrease in its overall performance. In Comparative Example 2, the combination of carbon nanotubes and boron nitride was used instead of the modified boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler, but this failed to solve the problem of poor dispersion of carbon nanotubes and boron nitride, leading to a significant decrease in all properties. In Comparative Example 3, the modified boron nitride-grafted carbon nanotube composite filler was not coated with polymethyl methacrylate, which affected its dispersibility and caused a certain degree of decrease in overall performance. In Comparative Example 4, the modified carbon nanotube composite filler did not contain boron nitride, resulting in a decrease in its high-temperature resistance and impermeability.
