Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adhesive technology, specifically relating to a high-strength, environmentally friendly, water-based reversible adhesive and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Adhesives (also known as binders) are functional substances that can tightly bind different materials together through surface adhesion and cohesion. However, traditional adhesives (such as solvent-based products like benzene and esters) release large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production and use, leading to air pollution, toxic residues, and poor biodegradability. They are also often accompanied by a pungent odor, posing a serious threat to the environment and human health. Furthermore, their irreversibility results in a series of application limitations, such as difficult recycling, significant resource waste, high manufacturing and maintenance costs, and restrictions on sustainable development. Reversible adhesives, on the other hand, are one of the key technologies for achieving a circular economy, green manufacturing, and intelligent maintenance. They solve not only the problem of "adhesion" but also the challenge of "disassembly." Offering unprecedented flexibility in product design, resource recycling, and specialized processes, it is widely used in electronics and smart manufacturing (such as temporary component mounting and testing, screen bonding), the automotive industry (NVH components, temporary protective films, removable panels), packaging and consumer goods (recyclable packaging, reusable packaging), biomedicine (removable dressings, temporary fixation of medical devices), and construction and building materials (temporary positioning of prefabricated components, installation of display building materials). Therefore, developing adhesives that combine reversible bonding properties with environmental friendliness has become a key path to overcoming industry bottlenecks.
[0003] While the reversible silicone adhesive disclosed in the patent (solvent-free, reversible, easy-to-clean moisture-adhesive silicone adhesive and its preparation method, CN117625120A) can achieve reversible adhesion, its preparation method is relatively complex and costly. Furthermore, it contains sulfur and recalcitrant materials, posing significant risks to human health and the environment. In addition, it requires a long time to achieve adhesion and exhibits low bond strength. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention discloses a high-strength, environmentally friendly, water-based reversible adhesive and its preparation method. A novel, high-strength, environmentally friendly, water-based reversible adhesive is directly prepared by adding a certain amount of organic acid and alcohol to deionized water in a specific ratio using a one-pot method. The aim is to address the problems of existing organosilicon adhesive preparation methods, which are complex, costly, have complex compositions, contain some non-degradable materials, easily cause environmental pollution, require long bonding times, and have low adhesion strength.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A high-strength, environmentally friendly, water-based reversible adhesive is made by uniformly mixing deionized water, organic acid, and alcohol in a mass ratio of 10~50:20~70:20~70.
[0006] Preferably, the organic acid is one or a combination of tannic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, and succinic acid.
[0007] Preferably, the alcohol is one or a combination of xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, glucose, sucrose, fructose, and maltose.
[0008] A method for preparing a high-strength, environmentally friendly, water-based reversible adhesive includes the following steps: first, organic acids and alcohols are mixed in a certain mass ratio, and then added to a certain mass ratio of deionized water. The mixture is stirred at 95 ℃ until a homogeneous solution is formed, thus obtaining the high-strength, environmentally friendly, water-based reversible adhesive.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention, a high-strength, environmentally friendly water-based reversible adhesive and its preparation method, are as follows: 1. The prepared reversible adhesive does not pollute the environment, is biodegradable, has no pungent odor, is relatively safe for users, and is unlikely to cause allergies. 2. The preparation method is simple, requiring only a one-pot process. 3. The prepared reversible adhesive can bond to various substrates such as ceramics, metals, wood, glass, and plastics, and can achieve non-destructive debonding through heating. 4. The prepared reversible adhesive has high adhesion strength. 5. The raw material cost is low, making it easy to mass-produce. 6. The bonding time of the reversible adhesive is shorter than that of current technologies. Attached Figure Description
