Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fluoropolymer synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a chain segment regular tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer. BACKGROUND

[0002] The copolymer of hexafluoropropylene (HFP) and tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), namely FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), is a melt-processable fluoropolymer, which has superior chemical resistance and electrical insulation of PTFE-like polymers, and has the ability of extrusion and injection molding. The excellent performance of FEP makes it widely used in high-performance fields such as electronic insulation, chemical pipelines, chemical containers, etc.

[0003] Patent document: patent US20040072977A1 Aqueous emulsion polymerization process for producing fluoropolymers. The traditional industrial method for preparing FEP is mainly to use water phase emulsion or dispersion polymerization technology, and to copolymerize HFP and TFE by free radical method, such as. The process temperature is generally in the range of 10-100℃, and is preferably 30-80℃, the pressure is generally in the range of 4-30 bar (about 0.4-3.0 MPa), and the optimal pressure range is generally in the range of 0.8-2.0 MPa. Emulsifiers (such as PFOS, PFOA) are used to stabilize the dispersion system, to form a microemulsion in water, and to make the monomers polymerize in the particle core, so as to improve the reaction efficiency and product quality.

[0004] Although there are related patents and literatures reporting the preparation method of the system, the existing technology has the following deficiencies: Lack of systematic condition comparison: there are few systematic comparison studies on the performance indicators such as product conversion rate, molecular weight distribution, residual initiator content, etc. in the published data, especially the effect of different temperature and dosage combinations has not formed a complete system description.

[0005] Limited product performance: due to the insufficient optimization of the interaction among temperature-pressure-initiator, the melt flow index (MFI), molecular weight and processing performance consistency of the prepared FEP copolymer are often insufficient, which is difficult to meet the requirements of melt processability and physical performance at the application end.

[0006] Emulsifier residue problem: Although the patent document WO2020162512A1 Tetrafluoroethylene polymer production method and composition uses perfluorosulfonic acid emulsifier, there are technical challenges in degreasing, cleaning and eliminating residual emulsifier, which affects the performance and safety of the final resin.

[0007] Chain regularity problem: Patent document CN112358564A uses water as medium and organic peroxide of structural formula (1) as initiator to prepare polytetrafluoroethylene by precipitation polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. In addition, the polymer particle size and melt viscosity are controllable, which can meet the needs of different aspects. It does not require the chain regularity of the copolymer.

[0008] There is an urgent need for an FEP preparation method with optimized process parameters, which can realize high conversion rate, high molecular weight, low residual agent, and multi-batch controllable industrial preparation system by reasonably controlling the type and dosage of initiator, temperature and pressure, constant pressure feeding mode, and clear post-treatment agent removal steps. SUMMARY

[0009] Based on the above background technology, the present application proposes a preparation method of chain segment regular tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer.

[0010] The technical scheme is as follows: A preparation method of chain segment regular tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, according to mass fraction, comprising the following steps: a) After replacing the reaction kettle with nitrogen and vacuumizing, add 750-850 parts of deionized water; b) Introduce 350-450 parts of hexafluoropropylene monomer into the water phase; c) Increase the temperature in the kettle to 10-50℃; d) Add chain segment regularity promoter, 0.5-2 parts of surfactant, 0.1-1.2 parts of molecular weight regulator and 0.2-0.8 parts of initiator; e) Introduce tetrafluoroethylene monomer until the pressure in the kettle reaches 0.6-1.4 MPa, and the mass of TFE is 200-500 parts; f) Stir and continuously supply TFE monomer at the same time, and adjust the feed valve to keep the pressure in the kettle constant at 0.6-1.4 MPa; g) Maintain the pressure and temperature for 2.5-7 hours; h) After the reaction is completed, collect the material, and heat the obtained copolymer in a constant temperature oven at 40-80℃ for 2-5 hours to remove residual initiator and unreacted monomer.

[0011] Preferably, the oxygen content is not more than 10 ppm and the nitrogen content is not more than 5% after the reactor is vacuumed.

[0012] Preferably, the chain segment regularity promoter is added in an amount of 0.4-0.8 wt% of the total amount of hexafluoropropylene monomer.

[0013] Preferably, the chain segment regularity promoter is prepared by the following method: In the reactor, 3-7 parts of 3,3'-dipyridyl-6,6'-diamine, 9-18 parts of allyl glycidyl ether, 5-10 parts of 2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl methacrylate, and 150-300 parts of ethanol are added, and the temperature is raised to 85-95°C for 180-220 minutes. The product is recrystallized from ethanol, filtered, and vacuum dried to remove residual ethanol to obtain the chain segment regularity promoter.

[0014] Preferably, the ethanol recrystallization process is at a dissolution temperature of 70-80°C and a cooling temperature of 0-5°C.

[0015] Preferably, the vacuum drying process is at a temperature of 60-70°C and a vacuum degree of 0.09 MPa.

[0016] Preferably, the surfactant is a mixture of one or more of ammonium perfluoropolyether carboxylate, ammonium perfluorooctyl sulfonate, and perfluorooctyl sulfonamide.

[0017] Preferably, the molecular weight regulator is selected from methanol or diethyl malonate.

[0018] Preferably, the initiator is selected from perfluorobutyryl peroxide, or perfluoro(3,6-dioxaoctanoyl) peroxide, or perfluoro(2-methyl-3-oxahexanoyl) peroxide.

[0019] Reaction mechanism The amino group of 3,3'-dipyridyl-6,6'-diamine undergoes ring-opening addition with the epoxy group of allyl glycidyl ether, and the remaining amino group undergoes Michael addition with the double bond of dimethyl fumarate. Ethanol as a solvent can promote the dissolution of 3,3'-dipyridyl-6,6'-diamine, increase the reaction rate, and the rigid structure of the dipyridyl ring enhances the π-π interaction between the additive and the fluoromonomer, thereby improving the chain segment regularity of the copolymer.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: 1) By using constant pressure continuous feeding in the present method, pressure drop or uneven reaction caused by one-time supply is avoided, thereby significantly improving the conversion efficiency of HFP and TFE monomers.

[0021] 2) The method uses low temperature and low dose initiator, which can prolong the chain growth stage, reduce the chain termination frequency, and form higher molecular weight and more uniform polymer molecular weight distribution.

[0022] 3) The tensile strength and heat distortion temperature of the copolymer are effectively improved, and the performance deviation of different batches of products is effectively improved. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
