Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerogel technology, specifically to a polysiloxane aerogel composite material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Aerogels are lightweight porous materials with low density (0.003-0.5 g / cm³). 3 High porosity (70-99.8%), high specific surface area (100-1600 m²) 2 Aerogels possess a unique porous structure with interconnected pores (g). Due to their special properties, they have been developed for applications in numerous fields, including thermal insulation, sound insulation, microelectronics, ion exchange, catalysis, drug delivery, sensors, batteries, adsorption, and cosmic dust collectors. The preparation process begins with small molecules or polymers forming a cross-linked network structure in a solvent through chemical reactions or physical processes. During this process, the solution gels, and then is dried to remove the solvent, yielding the aerogel. The cross-linked network structure formed in the solution constitutes the aerogel's framework. After decades of research and exploration, aerogels have exhibited structural diversity, including inorganic aerogels, organic aerogels, and organic-inorganic hybrid aerogels.

[0003] SiO2 aerogel is a novel lightweight nanoporous material with a nanostructure (pores of 1-100 nm and framework particles of 1-20 nm) and a large specific surface area (800-1000 m²). 2 SiO2 aerogels possess characteristics such as high porosity (80%-99.8%) and high density ( / g). These structural properties give them broad application potential in thermal, acoustic, optical, microelectronic, and particle detection fields. They are typically prepared from tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) or tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) through a sol-gel process and supercritical drying. However, the high cost of SiO2 aerogel preparation, due to the use of expensive organosilicon TEOS or TMOS as the silicon source and the high energy consumption of supercritical drying, hinders its large-scale industrial application.

[0004] Polyimide is one of the best-performing organic polymer materials, renowned for its excellent thermal stability and high mechanical strength. In recent years, various preparation routes for polyimide aerogels have been reported. Due to their small pore size, large specific surface area, and open-cell structure, aerogels easily absorb moisture from the environment when they contain hydrophilic polar groups, thus affecting their performance. Furthermore, when water evaporates, the resulting capillary forces can disrupt the pore structure of the aerogel. Therefore, hydrophobic modification of aerogels is essential. However, the contact angle between polyimide aerogels and water is 85-90°, thus requiring further modification. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a polysiloxane aerogel composite material and its preparation method, which has uniform pore density, high mechanical strength and good hydrophobicity, can achieve self-healing by heating, significantly reduces maintenance and replacement costs, and has broad application prospects.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows: This invention provides a method for preparing a polysiloxane aerogel composite material. The method involves modifying polysiloxane with a silane coupling agent containing mercapto groups, reacting it with vinyl POSS via click chemical reaction, hydrolyzing and drying it, and then modifying it with an amino-containing silane coupling agent to obtain an amino-modified aerogel. This aerogel is then reacted with polyimide fibers containing acyl chloride side chains and ketone groups to obtain the polysiloxane aerogel composite material.

[0007] As a further improvement to the present invention, the following steps are included: S1. Polysiloxane is added to ethanol, a silane coupling agent containing mercapto groups is added, and the mixture is heated and stirred to react, thereby obtaining modified polysiloxane. S2.

Add water and catalyst to POSS-modified polysiloxane, stir and mix evenly, let stand to form a gel, add ethanol, heat to age, and supercritically dry to obtain modified aerogel. S4. Add the modified aerogel to ethanol, add an amino-containing silane coupling agent, heat and stir to react, and obtain amino-modified aerogel; S5. Under inert gas protection, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,3'-diaminobenzophenone, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, and 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride are added to dimethylacetamide, stirred and reacted, degassed, extruded through a metering pump and spinneret, solidified, and dried to obtain polyimide fibers containing carboxyl side chains and ketone groups; S6. Add sulfoxide to polyimide fibers containing carboxyl side chains and ketone groups, reflux the reaction, and then heat to remove excess sulfoxide to obtain polyimide fibers containing acyl chloride side chains and ketone groups. S7. Amino-modified aerogel and polyimide fibers containing acyl chloride side chains and ketone groups, along with acetic acid, are mixed and added to N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture is heated to react, then triethylamine is added, and the mixture is cooled to room temperature and stirred to react. Water is added, and the mixture is stirred and mixed. The mixture is then filtered, washed, and freeze-dried to obtain a polysiloxane aerogel composite material.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mass ratio of the polysiloxane and the thiol-containing silane coupling agent in step S1 is 10:2-3, the temperature of the heating and stirring reaction is 45-55°C, the time is 2-4 hours, and the thiol-containing silane coupling agent is KH580 or KH590.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mass ratio of modified polysiloxane to vinyl POSS in step S2 is 200-220:4-7, and the reaction time of the ultraviolet lamp irradiation is 60-120s.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mass ratio of POSS modified polysiloxane, water and catalyst in step S3 is 100:10-15:2-3, the catalyst is concentrated hydrochloric acid, the heating aging temperature is 65-75℃ and the time is 1-2 days, and the supercritical drying conditions are 6.7MPa, 243℃ and drying for 2-4 hours.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mass ratio of the modified aerogel and the amino-containing silane coupling agent in step S4 is 10:3-4, the temperature of the heating and stirring reaction is 50-60℃, the time is 3-5h, and the amino-containing silane coupling agent is KH550, KH602 or KH792.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the molar ratio of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,3'-diaminobenzophenone, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, and 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride in step S5 is 5-7:1-2:2-3:10.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mass ratio of the polyimide fiber containing carboxyl side chains and ketone groups to sulfoxide in step S6 is 10:4-5, and the reflux reaction time is 1-2 hours.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, in step S7, the mass ratio of the amino-modified aerogel, the polyimide fiber containing acyl chloride side chains and ketone groups, acetic acid, and triethylamine is 4-7:3-5:0.1-0.3:4-6, and the heating reaction temperature is 70-80℃ for 3-5 hours.

[0015] The present invention further protects a polysiloxane aerogel composite material prepared by the above-described preparation method.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: Cage-shaped polysilsesquioxane (POSS) has a hollow "cage-shaped" inorganic core composed of silicon-oxygen bonds, which has good thermal stability and can hinder the development of crack tips in the polymer matrix and induce crazes and / or shear bands. It can also reduce stress concentration in the polymer matrix, absorb or transfer energy, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the material, and has hydrophobic properties.

[0017] This invention selects E-40, an organosilicon source with a higher silicon content and lower cost than TEOS, as a polysiloxane. After modification with a silane coupling agent containing thiol groups, a click chemical reaction can occur to "rivet" the POSS cage-shaped nanocore to the flexible polysiloxane chain, thereby improving the mechanical strength and hydrophobic properties of the material. The introduced dynamic covalent bonds can achieve self-healing function during heating, thus completing scratch repair.

[0018] POSS-modified polysiloxane undergoes a gelation reaction under acid catalysis and is dried under critical conditions of ethanol. Above its supercritical point, the gas-liquid interface disappears to avoid the surface tension of the liquid, thus preventing strong capillary contraction caused by the surface tension of the solvent from causing gel cracking. This results in a more uniform morphology and pore density of the prepared aerogel, and therefore, greater mechanical strength.

[0019] This invention prepares polyimide fibers containing carboxyl side chains and ketone groups by reacting 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,3'-diaminobenzophenone, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, and 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride. The carboxyl side chains are further chlorinated to obtain acyl chloride side chains, which react with previously prepared aerogels modified with silane coupling agents containing amino groups. The ketone and amino groups undergo a Schiff base reaction, forming an imine bond, a typical dynamic covalent bond that enables self-healing and remodeling of the material, as well as good biodegradability. The acyl chloride and amino groups undergo an affinity substitution reaction, achieving cross-linking of organic and inorganic materials, further enhancing the material's mechanical properties. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity of POSS is utilized to improve the hydrophobicity of the polyimide, resulting in a significant decrease in the contact angle of the prepared aerogel.

[0020] The polysiloxane aerogel composite material prepared by this invention has a uniform pore density, high mechanical strength and good hydrophobicity. It can achieve self-healing when heated, which significantly reduces maintenance and replacement costs and has broad application prospects. Detailed Implementation
