TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of silicone surfactants, and in particular to a fluorine-containing polyether silicone, a preparation method thereof, and a polyurethane foam. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hard polyurethane foam has shown significant advantages in thermal insulation materials due to its excellent thermal insulation performance, and has become the preferred choice in high-end application fields such as building energy saving, industrial pipeline insulation, cold chain and deep cooling equipment, and liquefied gas storage and transportation. Compared with natural insulation materials (such as rock wool) and other synthetic insulation materials (such as expanded polystyrene EPS and extruded polystyrene XPS), hard polyurethane foam has a lower thermal conductivity and can achieve the same or even better thermal insulation effect at a thinner thickness, thereby showing outstanding performance in energy saving efficiency and space utilization.
[0003] The thermal insulation performance of hard polyurethane foam mainly depends on its surface quality and internal cell structure. An ideal thermal insulation foam should have the characteristics of no obvious defects on the surface, fine and uniform internal cells, and high closed cell rate. However, during the preparation of the foam.
[0004] During the growth of the bubbles, the liquid film is thinned and broken due to the capillary force, the liquid migrates from the bubble wall to the edge, the gas in bubbles of different sizes can diffuse from small bubbles to large bubbles, and the bubbles may also merge due to collision, further damaging the uniformity of the cells.
[0005] To suppress the above problems, foam stabilizers are generally used in industry, the main component of which is a comb-like polyether silicone surfactant with siloxane as the main chain and polyether as the side chain. It can emulsify the foaming raw materials, promote uniform mixing, ensure the coordination of foaming and crosslinking reactions, reduce the surface tension of the material, and make it easier for the air mixed in the stirring process to form a large number of bubble nuclei, laying the foundation for fine and uniform cell structure. More importantly, the foam stabilizer plays a key role in the bubble stabilization mechanism. When the liquid film is thinned due to local stretching, the surface active agent concentration decreases, triggering a surface tension gradient, prompting the surface active agent molecules to migrate to the thin area and bringing the underlying liquid backflow, thereby repairing the liquid film. At the same time, the surface active agent can reduce the surface tension of the liquid film, reduce the pressure difference between bubbles of different sizes, inhibit gas diffusion, and alleviate bubble coarsening. In addition, the close arrangement layer formed by the surface active agent on the surface of the liquid film not only blocks gas diffusion, but also significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the liquid film, avoiding the rupture of the bubble during the growth process due to external shear force and reducing surface defects.
[0006] The structural characteristics of the polyether organosilicon surfactant have a significant influence on the thermal insulation performance of the foam. By regulating the length of the siloxane backbone, the grafting structure, the number and the position of the polyether side chain, the spatial configuration and the interfacial behavior of the copolymer can be effectively optimized, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the polyurethane foam. However, with the continuous expansion of the application field of the polyurethane foam and the increasingly stringent performance requirements, it is difficult to meet the demand for thermal insulation performance of high-end applications by relying on the conventional adjustment of the structure of the polyether organosilicon copolymer.
[0007] Since the organic fluoropolymer has extremely low surface tension, the introduction of the polyether organosilicon surfactant into the organic fluoropolymer can effectively reduce the surface tension of the material, and promote the entry of air to form more bubble cores during stirring. During the foaming process, the fluorine-containing segment can be adsorbed on the interface of the bubble liquid film, further reducing the surface tension of the liquid film. Based on the surface tension gradient generated by the Marangoni effect, the local weak points caused by liquid film drainage can be repaired, the merging of bubbles and the rupture of liquid film can be inhibited, thereby stabilizing the cell structure, improving the closed cell rate, and enhancing the thermal insulation performance of the polyurethane foam.
[0008] For example, patent CN117024747A discloses a fluorine-containing polyether organosilicon copolymer, which is formed by grafting a polyperfluoropropylene oxide modified allyl polyglyceryl ether and an allyl polyether onto a hydrogen-containing polymethylsiloxane backbone. It can be used as a foam stabilizer to reduce the thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam. However, the synthesis path adopted by this patent has certain limitations: after chlorination of the polyperfluoropropylene oxide monocarboxylic acid, it reacts with the allyl polyglyceryl ether and is grafted. Due to steric hindrance, the fluorine compound groups and the hydroxymethyl groups are spaced apart on the side chain, which weakens the ability of adjacent hydroxymethyl groups to reduce the surface tension of the fluorine compound. In addition, only one polyperfluoropropylene oxide modified segment is grafted onto each siloxane backbone, which further limits its surface activity effect. Therefore, the performance of this copolymer as a foam stabilizer in reducing the thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam is limited.
[0009] In order to break through the bottleneck of the existing molecular structure design and fully utilize the potential of fluorine-containing polyether organosilicon copolymer in foam stabilization and thermal insulation enhancement, it is necessary to develop new fluorine-containing polyether organosilicon surfactants based on the existing architecture to promote a new round of breakthroughs in the thermal insulation performance of polyurethane foam.
