Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicone film technology, specifically to a scratch-resistant silicone film and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Silicone films, with their excellent flexibility, resistance to high and low temperatures, and chemical stability, have been widely used in various fields such as electronic device packaging, new energy battery protection, and precision instrument surface protection. As the protection requirements of end products continue to increase, the scratch resistance of silicone films has become one of the key performance indicators. During product handling, assembly, and use, the surface of the film is easily scratched by friction and collision, which not only affects the integrity of the appearance but may also damage the protective function and lead to damage to the substrate.
[0003] To improve scratch resistance, existing technologies typically employ modification methods such as adding inorganic fillers (e.g., silica, alumina) or coating the surface with abrasion-resistant coatings. However, these approaches have significant limitations: inorganic fillers have poor compatibility with the silicone matrix, easily agglomerating and resulting in uneven internal structure of the membrane, which affects both mechanical properties and makes it difficult to achieve stable scratch resistance; surface coating processes increase production steps and costs, and the coating's adhesion to the substrate is insufficient, leading to easy peeling off after long-term use.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a scratch-resistant silicone film to solve the corresponding technical problem. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The matrix consists of 60-80 parts of silicone, 8-15 parts of core-shell composite filler, 3-6 parts of elastomer toughening agent, 4-8 parts of composite crosslinking agent, 0.1-0.3 parts of platinum catalyst, 0.01-0.05 parts of retarder, 0.5-1.5 parts of antioxidant, and 0.05-0.15 parts of photoinitiator.
[0008] As a further technical solution, the matrix silicone is a compound of terminal vinyl silicone oil and polyvinyl silicone oil in a ratio of 3-5:1, wherein the viscosity of the terminal vinyl silicone oil is 50,000-80,000 cps and the vinyl content is 0.3%-0.8%.
[0009] As a further technical solution, the core of the core-shell composite filler is nano-silicon nitride, and the shell is a fluorinated modified organosilicon elastomer graft layer. The fluorinated modified organosilicon elastomer is copolymerized from methyl vinyl siloxane and trifluoropropyl methyl vinyl siloxane, wherein the mass percentage of trifluoropropyl methyl vinyl siloxane is 20%-30%.
[0010] The particle size of the nano-silicon nitride in the core-shell structured composite filler is 25-45 nm, and the number average molecular weight of the fluorine-modified organosilicon elastomer is 5000-15000.
[0011] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the core-shell composite filler includes the following steps: placing nano-silicon nitride in a 1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, activating it at 80-90℃ for 2-3 h, washing it with deionized water until the washing solution is neutral, and drying it at 110-130℃ to constant weight to obtain hydroxylated nano-silicon nitride; placing the hydroxylated nano-silicon nitride in a high-pressure reactor, introducing γ-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane vapor, and reacting it at 140-160℃ and 0.3-0.5 MPa for 3-5 h to form a grafting transition layer on the surface of the nano-silicon nitride; adding methyl vinylsiloxane, trifluoropropylmethyl vinylsiloxane and azobisisobutyronitrile initiator to the high-pressure reactor, and polymerizing it in situ at 90-110℃ for 1.5-2.5 h, cooling it to room temperature after the reaction, and then centrifuging and drying it to obtain the core-shell composite filler.
[0012] As a further technical solution, the elastomer toughening agent is a polysiloxane microsphere with a particle size of 50-200 nm.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the composite crosslinking agent is a mixture of hydrogen-terminated silicone oil and amino silicone oil in a ratio of 2-3:1, wherein the hydrogen content of the hydrogen-terminated silicone oil is 0.1%-0.3%.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the platinum catalyst is a chloroplatinic acid-vinylsiloxane complex; the retarder is 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol; the antioxidant is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol; and the photoinitiator is 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone.
[0015] The method for preparing a scratch-resistant silicone film includes the following steps:
[0016] (1) Substrate mixing: Add the matrix silicone, core-shell structure composite filler and elastomer toughening agent to a vacuum kneader and stir for 2-2.5 h at 80-90℃ and -0.08~-0.1MPa. Then add the composite crosslinking agent, platinum catalyst, retarder, antioxidant and photoinitiator in turn, and continue to stir for 1-1.5 h under the above vacuum conditions to obtain the premixed adhesive.
[0017] (2) UV pre-curing: The premixed adhesive is injected into a mold and irradiated with ultraviolet light at an intensity of 50-80 mW / cm. 2 The irradiation time is 30-40 seconds, which forms a preliminary cross-linked structure;
[0018] (3) Gradient curing: For materials that have been pre-cured by ultraviolet light, a temperature gradient curing process is adopted to control the surface temperature of the mold to 120-140℃ and the internal temperature of the mold to 80-100℃, and keep it at the temperature for 2-3 hours to form a gradient cross-linking structure.
[0019] (4) Surface treatment: The membrane material after gradient curing is subjected to plasma treatment with a power of 80-120W and a treatment time of 3-8min to obtain an anti-scratch silicone membrane.

[0021] As a further technical solution, the ultraviolet light wavelength in step (2) is 365-405nm.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0023] 1. In this invention, the matrix silicone oil, a composite of terminal vinyl silicone oil and polyvinyl silicone oil, provides suitable active sites for the crosslinking reaction due to its specific viscosity range and vinyl content, ensuring that the matrix itself has good flexibility and reactivity. This solves the embrittlement problem caused by insufficient or excessive crosslinking density of traditional single matrix silicone oil. The core-shell structured composite filler uses nano-silicon nitride as the core, whose high hardness provides rigid support for the membrane material. The fluorinated modified organosilicon elastomer graft layer effectively avoids the nano-filler from oxidizing due to its chemical compatibility with the matrix silicone oil. The agglomeration of the material reduces the surface energy of the membrane, thereby reducing scratches during friction and solving the problems of poor dispersion and weak bonding between inorganic fillers and the matrix. The elastomer toughening agent, polysiloxane microspheres, fills the voids inside the matrix and undergoes elastic deformation under stress, absorbing impact energy and significantly improving the toughness of the membrane, thus compensating for the brittleness of high-hardness materials. The composite crosslinking agent is a combination of hydrogen-terminated silicone oil and amino silicone oil. The two crosslinking agents work synergistically to form a uniform and stable crosslinking network, solving the problems of low crosslinking efficiency and loose network structure of single crosslinking agents.
[0024] 2. The synergistic effect of each component and process in the technical solution of this invention achieves complementary and optimized performance. The composite system of the matrix silicone provides a good dispersion carrier for the core-shell structure composite filler and elastomer toughening agent, so that the rigid filler and elastic microspheres are evenly distributed in the matrix, forming a rigid support-elastic buffer microstructure, which synergistically improves the scratch resistance and impact resistance of the membrane material. The crosslinking characteristics of the composite crosslinking agent are highly compatible with the gradient curing process. UV pre-curing rapidly forms a preliminary crosslinking structure through short-time high-intensity irradiation, avoiding material flow deformation in subsequent processes. Gradient curing, on the other hand, allows for... By controlling the temperature difference between the mold surface and the interior, the cross-linking reaction proceeds gradually from the outside to the inside, reducing the generation of internal stress and forming a cross-linking network with uniform internal and external properties. At the same time, combined with plasma surface treatment, the surface density of the membrane material is further improved, resulting in a combined improvement in scratch resistance and surface smoothness. The fluorinated shell of the core-shell structure composite filler works synergistically with antioxidants and photoinitiators, which not only reduces the surface friction coefficient of the membrane material, but also enhances the shielding ability against ultraviolet light and oxygen, slows down the aging and degradation rate, and solves the contradiction between scratch resistance and aging resistance of traditional silicone membranes.
[0025] 3. This invention achieves a breakthrough in the comprehensive performance of scratch-resistant silicone film through the deep integration of component compounding optimization and process innovation. The preparation process of this invention is simple, and the parameters are easy to control. The core-shell structure composite filler can be made in-house through a standardized process. The raw materials are readily available, the production cost is controllable, and it is suitable for large-scale industrial production. It can meet the high-performance requirements of protective film materials in high-end fields such as electronics, new energy, and precision manufacturing, and has significant practical value and market prospects.

[0069] test:
[0070] Experiment 1: Scratch resistance test;
[0071] Referring to GB / T6739-2021, a 2H pencil was used to scratch the surface of the silicone film at a uniform speed and angle of 45° under a load of 500g, and the surface scratches were observed. Simultaneously, referring to GB / T1732-2021, a 1kg hammer was dropped from a height of 50cm onto the film material, and the surface damage was observed. The results are as follows:
[0072] Table 1
[0073] sample Pencil scratch rating Surface condition after impact Example 1 2H scratch-free No damage, no cracks Example 2 2H Minor Scratches No damage, slightly white Example 3 2H scratch-free No damage, no cracks Comparative Example 1 HB obvious scratches Localized damage, cracks appear Comparative Example 2 Slight scratches Localized damage, no cracks Comparative Example 3 H obvious scratches Localized damage, minor cracks Comparative Example 4 Slight scratches No damage, visibly white
[0074] As shown in Table 1, the scratch resistance of Examples 1-3 is significantly better than that of the comparative examples. The reasons are as follows: Comparative Example 1 lacks a core-shell composite filler, and the rigid core of nano-silicon nitride and the fluorinated elastomer shell cannot synergistically improve surface hardness and scratch resistance, resulting in a lower pencil scratch rating and easy breakage after impact. Comparative Example 2 lacks an elastomer toughening agent, resulting in insufficient toughness of the membrane material, making it prone to local breakage after impact, and also slightly reducing surface hardness. Comparative Example 3 uses a single-end hydrogen-containing silicone oil as a crosslinking agent, which cannot form a uniform crosslinking network, resulting in insufficient surface density of the membrane material and reduced scratch resistance. Comparative Example 4 uses isothermal curing, which cannot form a gradient crosslinking structure, resulting in uneven internal and external properties of the membrane material and weakened surface scratch resistance and impact resistance.
[0075] Experiment 2: Tensile property test;
[0076] According to GB / T1040.3-2006, dumbbell-shaped specimens were prepared, and the tensile speed was 50 mm / min. The tensile strength and elongation at break were tested, and the results are as follows:
[0077] Table 2
[0078] sample Tensile strength (MPa) Elongation at break (%) Example 1 8.5 380 Example 2 7.2 320 Example 3 9.1 410 Comparative Example 1 5.3 250 Comparative Example 2 6.8 280 Comparative Example 3 6.5 300 Comparative Example 4 7.0 310
[0079] As shown in Table 2, the tensile properties of Examples 1-3 are significantly better than those of the comparative examples. The reasons are as follows: Comparative Example 1 lacks a core-shell composite filler, thus failing to enhance mechanical properties through the interfacial interaction between the filler and the matrix, resulting in a significant decrease in tensile strength and elongation at break. Comparative Example 2 lacks an elastomer toughening agent, leading to insufficient toughness of the membrane material, reduced elongation at break, and a slight decrease in tensile strength. The single crosslinking agent in Comparative Example 3 cannot form a stable crosslinking network, resulting in a loose internal structure of the membrane material, and both tensile strength and elongation at break are lower than those of the examples. The isothermal curing in Comparative Example 4 leads to uneven crosslinking of the membrane material, internal stress concentration, and slightly inferior tensile properties compared to the examples.
[0080] Experiment 3: Aging resistance test;
[0081] According to GB / T16422.2-2014, the samples were placed in a xenon arc lamp aging test chamber with an irradiation intensity of 0.5 W / m² (340 nm), a temperature of 65℃, and a relative humidity of 50%. After aging for 1000 hours, the tensile strength retention rate and yellowing index were tested, and the results are as follows:
[0082] Table 3
[0083] sample Tensile strength retention rate (%) Yellowing index (ΔYI) Example 1 92 1.8 Example 2 88 2.3 Example 3 94 1.5 Comparative Example 1 75 3.5 Comparative Example 2 82 2.8 Comparative Example 3 80 3.2 Comparative Example 4 83 2.9
[0084] As shown in Table 3, the aging resistance of Examples 1-3 is superior to that of the comparative examples. The specific reasons are as follows: Comparative Example 1 lacks a core-shell composite filler, resulting in the loss of the UV resistance and antioxidant effect of the fluorinated modified layer. Simultaneously, the shielding effect of nano-silicon nitride is lost, leading to a decrease in tensile strength retention and an increase in the yellowing index. Comparative Example 2 lacks an elastomer toughening agent, making the membrane prone to cracking during aging, accelerating aging degradation, and reducing tensile strength retention. The crosslinking network formed by the single crosslinking agent in Comparative Example 3 has insufficient stability, and the crosslinking bonds are easily broken after aging, resulting in decreased aging resistance. The isothermal curing in Comparative Example 4 introduces defects into the internal structure of the membrane, making these defects prone to degradation during aging, resulting in slightly worse aging resistance than the examples.
