Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical materials technology, specifically relating to a stain-resistant and high-strength polyurethane elastomer composition, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology

[0002] Polyurethane (PU) is a class of polymers whose molecular chains contain urethane groups (-NHCOO-). In addition to urethane groups, its molecular structure sometimes also contains ester, ether, and urea groups. It offers a high degree of freedom in structural design and a wide range of adjustable properties. It is widely used in various forms such as foams, synthetic leather, fibers, elastomers, coatings, and adhesives in many fields including aerospace, transportation, medical, construction, and textiles, and has become an indispensable synthetic material in daily life.

[0003] Polyurethane elastomers can be classified into three main categories according to their product processing methods: cast polyurethane elastomers (CPU), compounded polyurethane elastomers (MPU), and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPU). MPU has promising application prospects because its molding process is similar to that of fluororubber and silicone rubber used in existing smart wearables. As a rubber material, MPU requires the addition of various fillers for reinforcement to achieve good mechanical properties. However, in practical applications, it has been found that while adding fillers can effectively reinforce its mechanical properties, the fillers themselves have poor stain resistance and insufficient bonding with the rubber, leading to pores in the microscopic surface structure. This makes it prone to penetration and contamination, significantly negatively impacting its stain resistance.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the stain resistance of MPU by modifying fillers while ensuring mechanical properties is an urgent problem to be solved in its application in the field of smart wearables. Summary of the Invention

The aminosilane and long-chain alkylsilane exhibit a synergistic effect. Specifically, in the synergistic modification of silica by the aminosilane coupling agent and the long-chain alkylsilane coupling agent, the terminal primary amino group of the aminosilane can form extremely strong hydrogen bonds, and even covalent bonds, with the urethane, urea, and isocyanate groups in the polyurethane, greatly improving the interfacial adhesion between silica and polyurethane and enhancing its reinforcing effect. Meanwhile, the long alkyl chains of the long-chain alkylsilane, through entropy repulsion and low surface energy, can construct a robust hydrophobic and oleophobic layer after being added to the polyurethane, significantly improving the stain resistance of the polyurethane elastomer.

[0020] Experiments have shown that the polyurethane watch strap prepared by the method of the present invention has significantly improved mechanical properties and stain resistance. In particular, the polyurethane elastomer prepared in Example 2 has increased tensile strength by 6.1%, elongation at break by 9.0%, elongation at a given point by 13.8%, and tensile strength by 13.2%. This demonstrates that the method of the present invention can obtain a stain-resistant and high-strength polyurethane elastomer, which has a broader application prospect in the field of smart wearables.

[0021] Obviously, based on the above description of the present invention, and according to common technical knowledge and conventional methods in the field, various other modifications, substitutions or alterations can be made without departing from the basic technical concept of the present invention.

However, this should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments. All technologies implemented based on the above-described content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Figure 1 The images, from left to right, show polyurethane watch straps of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 after being marked with a marker (A) and after being wiped with alcohol (B). Detailed Implementation

[0024] The raw materials and equipment used in this invention are all known products, obtained by purchasing commercially available products.

[0025] In the specific embodiment, the polyurethane elastomer is a self-made product, prepared by the following method: 1000g (0.5mol) of polycarbonate diol (average molecular weight 2000) was added to a three-necked flask and mixed. After removing water at 110℃ under vacuum for 2 hours, nitrogen gas was introduced. Then, 262g (1mol) of 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate and 45g (0.5mol) of 1,4-butanediol were added at 100℃ and mixed for 5 minutes. Then, 0.1% of the mass of dibutyltin dilaurate catalyst (the sum of the masses of polycarbonate diol, 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, and 1,4-butanediol) was added and mixed for 5 minutes. The mixture was then poured into a tray and placed in a 70℃ oven for 5 hours to cure, and the polyurethane elastomer was obtained.

[0026] Example 1: Preparation of polyurethane elastomer composition 1.1 Preparation of Composite Modified Silica The aminosilane is 8g of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550), and the long-chain alkylsilane is 4g of n-hexadecyltriethoxysilane; the total mass of the aminosilane coupling agent and the long-chain alkylsilane is 12% of the mass of silica, and the mass ratio of aminosilane to long-chain alkylsilane is 1:0.5; the specific steps are as follows: (1) Take 100g of fumed silica (fumed silica produced by fumed silica production, with a specific surface area of ​​200m²) 2 / g) was vacuum dried at 110℃ for 6 hours to completely remove moisture; then it was put into a 2000ml three-necked flask equipped with a reflux condenser, a constant pressure dropping funnel and a mechanical stirrer, and 1200ml of anhydrous toluene was added. Under nitrogen protection, it was stirred and dispersed at 75℃ for 1 hour to form a uniform suspension, thus obtaining a silica suspension. (2) First step modification (grafting aminosilane): 8g KH-550 was diluted with 50ml of anhydrous toluene and slowly added dropwise to the suspension. The dropping speed was controlled to ensure that the dropping was completed within 30 minutes. Then, the reaction was carried out under nitrogen protection at 75℃ and refluxed for 3 hours to obtain amino-modified silica reaction solution. (3) Second step modification (grafting long-chain alkylsilane): Under nitrogen protection at 75°C, 4g of n-hexadecyltriethoxysilane was diluted with 50ml of anhydrous toluene and then slowly added dropwise to amino-modified silica reaction solution. After the addition was complete, the reaction was continued to be refluxed at 75°C for 2 hours. (4) After the reaction is complete, the solid product is collected by natural cooling to room temperature, filtered, washed three times with anhydrous toluene to remove unreacted substances, and finally, the filter cake is vacuum dried at 80°C for 10 hours to obtain composite modified silica.

[0027] 1.2 Preparation of Polyurethane Watch Straps (1) By weight, 100 parts of polyurethane elastomer are added to a two-roll mill and plasticized at room temperature. Then, 20 parts of composite modified silica, 1.5 parts of triallyl isocyanurate and 2 parts of bis(2,5)5 are added and mixed evenly. The roll gap is adjusted to less than 1 mm to wrap the rolls, and the rolls are thinly wrapped in a triangular shape and rolled up. Finally, the roll gap is adjusted to 2.2 mm to produce the sheet and the compound is obtained. (2) Place the compound into the mold and vulcanize for 5 minutes under a pressure of 16 MPa and a temperature of 160 °C to obtain a polyurethane watch strap.

[0028] Example 2: Preparation of polyurethane elastomer composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference lies in the preparation of the composite modified silica in 1.1: 6g of aminosilane, N-aminoethyl-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 6g of long-chain alkylsilane, octadecyltrimethoxysilane; the total mass of the aminosilane coupling agent and the long-chain alkylsilane is 12% of the mass of silica, and the mass ratio of aminosilane to long-chain alkylsilane is 1:1.

[0029] Example 3: Preparation of polyurethane elastomer composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference is in the preparation of the composite modified silica in 1.1: 10g of aminosilane N-(aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and 10g of long-chain alkylsilane octadecyltrimethoxysilane; the total mass of aminosilane coupling agent and long-chain alkylsilane is 20% of the mass of silica, and the mass ratio of aminosilane to long-chain alkylsilane is 1:1.

[0030] Example 4: Preparation of polyurethane elastomer composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference lies in the preparation of the composite modified silica in 1.1: 6g of aminosilane, N-(aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, and 9g of long-chain alkylsilane, octadecyltrimethoxysilane; the total mass of the aminosilane coupling agent and the long-chain alkylsilane is 15% of the mass of silica, and the mass ratio of aminosilane to long-chain alkylsilane is 1:1.5.

[0031] Comparative Example 1: Preparation of Polyurethane Elastomer Composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference is that in 1.1 the composite modified silica was not modified, and in 1.2 the polyurethane watchband was prepared by directly using the composite modified silica instead of silica obtained by vacuum drying at 110°C for 6 hours without any chemical modification.

[0032] Comparative Example 2: Preparation of Polyurethane Elastomer Composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference is in the preparation of the composite modified silica in 1.1: only steps (1), (2), and (4) are performed; 12g of KH-550 is used in step (2); the total reaction time for steps (1) and (2) is 4 hours; (only aminosilane is grafted, and long-chain alkyl is not grafted).

[0033] Comparative Example 3: Preparation of Polyurethane Elastomer Composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference is in the preparation of the composite modified silica in 1.1: only steps (1), (3), and (4) are performed; 12g of n-hexadecyltriethoxysilane is used in step (3); the total reaction time for steps (1) and (3) is 4 hours; (only long-chain alkyl groups are grafted, and aminosilanes are not grafted).

[0034] Comparative Example 4: Preparation of Polyurethane Elastomer Composition Referring to Example 1, the only difference is in the preparation of 1.1 composite modified silica: aminosilane and long-chain alkylsilane are mixed to modify silica in one step: specifically, 8g KH-550 and 4g n-hexadecyltriethoxysilane are mixed simultaneously in 1200ml anhydrous toluene, and then added dropwise to the silica suspension. After the addition is complete, the mixture is refluxed at 75°C for 4 hours.

[0035] Experimental Examples and Performance Testing of Polyurethane Elastomer Compositions 1. Experimental subjects Polyurethane watch straps prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4.

[0036] 2. Experimental Methods (1) Mechanical property test: Hardness test is conducted according to national standard GB / T531.1-2008, and the hardness is measured using a Shore A hardness tester; tensile strength, elongation at break and 100% elongation are tested according to national standard GB / T 528-2009; the strap tension is tested by a tensile tester, and the strap is stretched continuously until the punch cracks or the strap breaks, and the maximum tensile value is obtained. The test speed is 30mm / min.

[0037] (2) Stain resistance test: After writing with a marker, let it stand for 10 minutes, then wipe it off with alcohol and record the wiping results.

[0038] 3. Experimental Results As shown in Tables 1 and 2, compared with the unmodified Comparative Example 1, the elongation at break and tensile strength of the watch straps in Examples 1-4 were significantly improved. Specifically, the tensile strength, elongation at break, elongation at a given point, and tensile strength of the watch straps in Examples 1-2 were all significantly improved. This indicates that the polyurethane watch straps prepared by first modifying the silica with aminosilane and then modifying it with long-chain alkylsilane have better mechanical properties. In particular, when the total mass of the aminosilane coupling agent and the long-chain alkylsilane is 12% of the silica mass, and the mass ratio of aminosilane to long-chain alkylsilane is 1:0.5-1, the resulting watch straps exhibit significantly improved mechanical properties, with tensile strength increased by 2.0%-6.1%, elongation at break increased by 4.0%-9.0%, elongation at a given point increased by 6.9%-13.8%, and tensile strength increased by 7.4%-13.2%, without significantly affecting the hardness of the watch strap. Simultaneously, the stain resistance of Examples 1-4 was significantly improved.

[0039] For the one-step modification of Comparative Example 4, its stain resistance was improved compared to Comparative Example 1, but it was significantly worse than Examples 1-4. At the same time, its mechanical properties were not significantly improved. Compared to Comparative Example 1, only the elongation at break was improved, while the tensile strength, elongation at a given point, and tensile force were significantly reduced. This indicates that the one-step modification not only cannot effectively improve the performance of polyurethane elastomer, but is also detrimental to its mechanical properties.

[0040] Regarding the single modification of Comparative Examples 2 and 3, Comparative Example 2 is a single aminosilane modification, which significantly improves the mechanical properties compared to Comparative Example 1, but significantly reduces the stain resistance compared to Examples 1-4; Comparative Example 3 is a single long-chain alkylsilane modification, which does not significantly improve the mechanical properties. Compared to Comparative Example 1, only the elongation at break is improved, while the tensile strength, elongation at a given point, and tensile force are all significantly reduced, and the stain resistance is significantly reduced compared to Examples 1-4. This shows that using a single silane modification cannot achieve a comprehensive improvement in stain resistance and reinforcement performance, and cannot enable polyurethane elastomers to possess both excellent stain resistance and mechanical properties.

[0041] Meanwhile, modification with a single long-chain alkyl silane is not conducive to improving the mechanical properties and stain resistance of polyurethane watch straps, and modification with a single amino silane is not conducive to improving the stain resistance of polyurethane watch straps. However, through a two-step modification with amino silane, the mechanical properties and stain resistance of polyurethane watch straps are significantly improved simultaneously. This indicates that the amino silane and long-chain alkyl silane in this invention have a synergistic effect.

[0042] Table 1. Mechanical properties of polyurethane watch straps prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4 Table 2 shows the stain resistance of the polyurethane watch straps prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-4. Note: √ for complete erasure, ○ for most of the erasure, ▲ for a small portion of the erasure, and × for no erasure.

[0043] In summary, this invention first modifies silica with aminosilane, then adds long-chain alkylsilane for further modification, obtaining composite modified silica through a stepwise modification method. This composite modified silica is then blended with polyurethane elastomer, achieving a significant and simultaneous improvement in the mechanical properties and stain resistance of the polyurethane elastomer. Furthermore, the aminosilane and long-chain alkylsilane exhibit a synergistic effect. Example 2 demonstrates the best performance, with the total mass of the aminosilane coupling agent and long-chain alkylsilane being 12% of the silica mass, and the mass ratio of aminosilane to long-chain alkylsilane being 1:1. The resulting watchband exhibits significantly improved mechanical properties and stain resistance, with tensile strength increased by 6.1%, elongation at break by 9.0%, elongation at a given point by 13.8%, and tensile strength by 13.2%.
