Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lubricating materials, and relates to a preparation method of a wear-resistant and oxidation-resistant polyurea lubricant. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a kind of high polymer material generated by the reaction of isocyanate and amine compound, the polyurea material has excellent mechanical strength, outstanding high and low temperature resistance (can remain stable at minus 50 DEG C to 200 DEG C or even wider temperature range), good chemical inertness and anti-aging performance due to the hydrogen bond formed by the unique urea functional group, and exhibits significant advantages in lubricant modification and preparation.

[0003] By accurately designing the molecular structure of the polyurea, such as adjusting the ratio of soft segment (polyether, polyester, etc.) and hard segment (urea bond, urethane bond, etc.), selecting isocyanate monomers and amine chain extenders with different carbon chain lengths, the elasticity recovery and interface adsorption capacity of the material can be optimized; at the same time, combined with suitable preparation process (such as in-situ polymerization, emulsion polymerization, etc.), and reasonably compounded with anti-wear additives (such as nano metal oxides, sulfides, etc.), antioxidants (such as hindered phenolic antioxidants, amine antioxidants, etc.), the wear resistance and oxidation resistance of the polyurea lubricant can be further improved, so that it can still form a continuous, dense and not easy to break lubricating film under extreme working conditions, effectively resisting oxidation corrosion and friction loss.

[0004] The Chinese invention with the publication number CN108865373B discloses a kind of composite calcium sulfonate polyurea mixed grease and its preparation method, including mineral base oil, urea-based thickener, composite calcium sulfonate and polyisobutylene tackifier, which maintains the basic characteristics of urea-based grease such as high dropping point, easy pumping, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and combines the advantages of composite calcium sulfonate-based lubricant such as good water resistance and strong extreme pressure wear resistance.

[0005] The mineral base oil in the above scheme is a high-pressure hydrogenation series bright oil (i.e. 150BS, 175BS, 250BS, etc.), which is essentially a petroleum distillate. A small amount of unsaturated hydrocarbon bonds remaining in the molecular structure of the mineral base oil are easily attacked by oxygen at high temperatures, leading to a free radical chain oxidation reaction. The transmission system (gears, roller bearings) of steel annealing furnace and other equipment is in a high-temperature environment for a long time and needs to bear heavy load caused by the weight of the kiln body. During the long-term service of the above-mentioned grease, intermediate products such as resin and asphaltene will be gradually generated, and then dehydrated and dehydrogenated to form amorphous carbon. In addition, the chemical reaction between calcium ions in ash and carboxyl groups in carbon precursor will occur in a high-temperature environment, generating metal carboxylate that is insoluble in oil, cross-linking and solidifying loose carbon particles, and finally forming hard and stubborn coke-like substances on the inner wall of the gear box, bearing raceway and pipeline, causing the problem of lubricating grease circulation obstruction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined object, the specific embodiments, features and effects according to the present application are described in detail as follows in combination with the preferred embodiments.

[0035] Example 1: The present embodiment provides a wear-resistant and oxidation-resistant polyurea lubricant, which is prepared by the following steps:

[0036] S1: 0.75g of tungsten disulfide powder (particle size 100nm, purchased from Jiangsu Xianfeng Nanometer Material Technology Co., Ltd.), 0.03g of graphene oxide (purity 99.99%, purchased from Henan Wanying Refractory Material Technology Co., Ltd.), 0.07g of polyvinylpyrrolidone (K85 specification, purchased from Shanghai Aldrin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.), 0.29g of nickel chloride (purchased from Jinan Shengda Chemical Co., Ltd.) and 55mL of distilled water are added to a reaction kettle, ultrasonic treatment is performed for 35min, 0.3mL of 26wt% ammonia water, 0.15g of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride and 0.15g of silane coupling agent KH-550 are added, stirring is performed at 22℃ for 2h, hydrothermal treatment is performed at 105℃ for 18h, centrifugation is performed, filtration is performed, the filter cake is washed with distilled water and anhydrous ethanol respectively for 2 times, and drying is performed at 82℃ for 13h, to obtain a nano-composite powder.

[0037] Distilled water as a solvent makes the nickel chloride completely dissolved and ionized into nickel ions, and polyvinylpyrrolidone is combined with the surface of tungsten disulfide by hydrogen bond to form a steric barrier, and forms intermolecular forces with the graphene oxide sheet to jointly build a steric barrier to inhibit the agglomeration of tungsten disulfide, and ammonia water adjusts the pH of the system to 8 to form a stable and moderate complex with nickel ions, and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is adsorbed on the surface of tungsten disulfide and graphene oxide by electrostatic adsorption to enhance the dispersion stability, and KH-550 utilizes its amino group to form chemical bonds with the surface hydroxyl groups of tungsten dioxide and graphene oxide and nickel ions to further strengthen the site-oriented effect, and under the hydrothermal condition of 105℃, the complex is decomposed to release nickel ions and hydrolyzed to generate nickel hydroxide, which is in-situ deposited on the surface of tungsten disulfide and graphene oxide, and after 18h of insulation, the nickel hydroxide is dehydrated and decomposed into nickel oxide nanoparticles, which are uniformly grown on the surface and edge of the tungsten disulfide sheet to form a nanocomposite powder.

[0038] S2: 0.75g of nanocomposite powder and 35mL of anhydrous ethanol were added to the reaction kettle, ultrasonic dispersion was performed for 17min, 1.0g of ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, purchased from the State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) was added dropwise, ultrasonic dispersion was performed for 17min, the nanocomposite powder was uniformly dispersed with the ionic liquid, 12MPa pressure was applied for grinding for 5h, and the temperature was kept at 85℃ for 13h, and then the temperature was cooled to room temperature to obtain ionic liquid modified nanocomposite powder.

[0039] The imidazole cation of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate is combined with the negative sites on the surface of the tungsten disulfide sheet and graphene oxide in the nanocomposite powder by electrostatic interaction and van der Waals force, and the tetrafluoroborate anion forms a hydrogen bond with the surface hydroxyl groups of nickel oxide, and meanwhile, the solvent mediation effect of ethanol promotes the formation of a structured solvation layer of the ionic liquid on the surface of the nanoparticles.

[0040] S3: 30g of urea, 1.7g of resorcinol, 6.5g of 40wt% glyoxal aqueous solution, 3.5g of ammonium chloride, 3g of 0.2wt% sodium lignosulfonate, and 175mL of deionized water were added to the reaction kettle, stirring was performed at 600r / min for 12min, 85g of poly-alpha-olefin (PAO40) was added, and homogenizing shearing emulsification was performed at 22℃ and a speed of 5250r / min for 6min to obtain a stable oil-in-water emulsion, stirring was performed at 400r / min for 6min, 0.9mL of n-octanol was added dropwise for defoaming, 60g of 37wt% formaldehyde aqueous solution was added, the pH value was adjusted to 3 with 1mol / L hydrochloric acid, the temperature was slowly increased to 37℃, and the temperature was kept for 35min, then the temperature was increased to 62℃ at a speed of 1℃ / min, and the temperature was kept for 3h, vacuum filtration was performed, the filter cake was washed with deionized water, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol alternately, and freeze-drying was performed for 25h to obtain a microcapsule powder.

[0041] Sodium lignosulfonate was used as an anionic emulsifier. Its hydrophilic sulfonic acid groups were oriented towards the aqueous phase, while its hydrophobic groups were adsorbed onto the surface of polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil droplets. Combined with high-shear homogenization, PAO was broken into tiny droplets and formed a stable oil-in-water emulsion. Ammonium chloride enhanced the emulsion stability by adjusting the ionic strength of the aqueous phase, laying the foundation for dispersion in subsequent reactions. Next, formaldehyde aqueous solution was added. Under acidic conditions, urea and formaldehyde first underwent a hydroxymethylation reaction to generate a water-soluble polyurea-formaldehyde prepolymer. Resorcinol reacted with the prepolymer through its phenolic hydroxyl groups. The hydroxymethyl group forms an ether bond, while the glyoxal rapidly crosslinks with the amino group of the urea molecule due to its highly active aldehyde group. The two work synergistically to enhance the activity and crosslinking density of the prepolymer. At the same time, the prepolymer is oriented to adsorb onto the oil-water interface by electrostatic attraction. Subsequently, by gradient heating, the prepolymer undergoes rapid polycondensation reaction and continuous deposition and crosslinking, forming a dense and high-strength shell on the surface of the oil droplets. The polyα-olefin is then encapsulated inside the shell to form microcapsules. The addition of n-octanol eliminates bubbles during emulsification and stirring, preventing the formation of pores in the shell.

[0042] S4: Add 125g of microcapsule powder to the reaction vessel and heat to 82℃. Then add 7g of octadecylamine (industrial grade, purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) and 30g of hexamethylene diisocyanate. React at 400r / min for 50min. After the reaction is complete, raise the temperature to 110℃, add 17mL of distilled water to remove excess hexamethylene diisocyanate, keep warm for 25min, raise the temperature to 185℃, and stir and refine for 30min. After stirring and refining, cool to room temperature and grind three times with a three-roll mill, controlling the grinding pressure at 0.4MPa to obtain the polyurea lubricant matrix.

[0043] The isocyanate group in hexamethylene diisocyanate undergoes an addition reaction with the amino group in octadecylamine to first generate a urea-structured prepolymer, which is then further crosslinked to form a three-dimensional network polyurea structure. The microcapsule powder is tightly encapsulated in the network structure, and its rough surface forms a mechanical interlock with the polyurea to prevent it from falling off during subsequent use, while retaining the self-lubricating function of releasing oil when the microcapsules rupture during friction.

[0044] S5: Add 60g of polyurea lubricant matrix and 20mL of acetone solution to the reactor, then add 0.75g of ionic liquid modified nanocomposite powder and 0.15g of hindered phenolic antioxidant 1010, sonicate for 2h, and volatilize the acetone at 82℃ and 600r / min to obtain wear-resistant and antioxidant polyurea lubricant.

Another clean steel ball was mounted on the spindle of the testing instrument. The rotational speed was set to 1770 r / min, the load was set and applied slowly, the motor was started, and the test run lasted 10 seconds. After the test, the wear trace diameters of the three balls were measured, P. B The value represents the maximum non-seize load; the higher the value, the better the lubrication performance.

[0065] Anti-wear performance: The anti-wear performance was determined according to SH / T 0202-1992 "Determination of Extreme Pressure Properties of Lubricating Grease (Four-Ball Test Method)". The test procedure is as follows: Fill the ball box with the sample, embed three clean steel balls into the box and assemble them, placing them on the ball seat. Install another clean steel ball on the spindle of the testing instrument. Set the rotation speed to 1200 r / min, the test force to 392 N, the time to 60 min, and the temperature to 75±2℃. Start the test when the set temperature is reached. After the test, measure the wear trace diameter of the three balls and record the coefficient of friction. The lower the value, the better the lubrication performance.

[0066] Antioxidant performance: The oxidation stability was determined according to SH / T 0325-1992 "Determination of Oxidation Stability of Lubricating Grease". The test procedure is as follows: 4.00±0.01g of sample was placed in each of five dishes, ensuring even distribution, and placed on a dish rack. The dish rack was placed in the oxygen bomb and the bolts were tightened to seal it. Oxygen was introduced until the pressure reached 689kPa, then the oxygen was released to remove internal air. This process was repeated four times until the oxygen pressure reached 593kPa at a temperature of 20-23℃. The oxygen bomb was allowed to stand overnight and checked for leaks. The oxygen bomb was placed in an oil bath at 99±0.5℃. When the pressure rose above 785±14kPa, oxygen was intermittently released until the pressure stabilized at 785±14kPa, and this was maintained for at least 2 hours. The oxygen bomb was then immersed in the oil bath, and the time was started, continuously oxidizing until the product specification time period (100h) was reached.

[0067] The test results are shown in the table below:

[0070] As shown in Table 1, the wear scar diameters of Examples 1-6 are smaller than those of Comparative Examples 1-3, and the maximum non-seize load (P) is smaller. BThe coefficient of friction in Examples 1-6 was higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-3, and the lowest coefficient of friction was lower than that in Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating that the lubrication performance of Examples 1-6 was better. This may be because the microcapsules ruptured during friction, releasing the poly-α-olefin core material to form a dynamic liquid lubricating film that filled the gaps at the friction interface. In the ionic liquid-modified nanocomposite powder, the interlayer slip characteristics of tungsten disulfide, the wear-resistant support of nickel oxide, and the friction-reducing effect of the ionic liquid were superimposed to form a composite lubricating film with physical lubrication, chemical adsorption, and hard phase support, which effectively reduced direct contact between friction surfaces and lowered the wear scar diameter and coefficient of friction. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 used base oil instead of microcapsules, which lacked the dynamic oil release function, and the lubricating film was easily lost. Comparative Example 2 removed the ionic liquid-modified nanocomposite powder, thus losing the multi-dimensional anti-wear synergistic effect. Comparative Example 3 did not use ionic liquid-modified nanocomposite powder, and the nanoparticles were prone to agglomeration, which could not uniformly exert the anti-wear effect, resulting in a decrease in lubrication performance.

[0071] As shown in Table 1, the oxidation stability of Examples 1-6 is higher than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, indicating that Examples 1-6 have better antioxidant performance. This may be because the high thermal stability of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate can inhibit the oxidation reaction, nickel oxide has a catalytic inhibitory effect on the oxidation of polyalphaolefins in the base oil, the sheet structure of graphene oxide can block oxidation diffusion, and the hindered phenolic antioxidant 1010 works synergistically with the above components to further delay the oxidative degradation of the polyurea matrix and polyalphaolefins. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 lacks the protection of the capsule shell, and the base oil is directly exposed and easily oxidized. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 lack the synergistic antioxidant effect of the ionic liquid-modified nanocomposite powder, resulting in significantly worse oxidation stability and a significant increase in pressure drop.
