[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a dust-free workshop organic gas adsorption gel, comprising the following ingredients;
[0039] The following preparation raw materials are weighed by mass fraction:
[0040] Bis 3-aminophenyl polydimethylsiloxane: 60-80 parts;
[0041] Acid ester compound: 10-30 parts;
[0042] 2,2'-azobis 2-methylpropionitrile: 1-10 parts;
[0043] Styrene and its derivatives: 1-5 parts;
[0044] Divinylbenzene: 0.1-0.5 parts;
[0045] Ultrapure water: 1-50 parts.
[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the gel is formed into a flexible gel body with a three-dimensional cross-linked network structure through in-situ radical polymerization, the surface and internal pores of the flexible gel body are rich in functional groups capable of physical adsorption and weak chemical interaction with a variety of organic volatile compounds, and the flexible gel body can continuously capture typical industrial VOCs components such as benzene, toluene, aniline, styrene, formaldehyde and the like in air under normal temperature and humidity conditions, and does not release any volatile by-products, and is suitable for distributed deployment in ISO Class 1-5 clean rooms.
[0047] Further, the number average molecular weight of the bis-3-aminophenyl polydimethylsiloxane is 100-5000, and the bis-3-aminophenyl polydimethylsiloxane main chain is composed of repeating -SiCH320- units, and 3-aminophenyl functional groups are grafted on both ends or side chains;
[0048] This structure endows the material with excellent flexibility, thermal stability and dual affinity for polar / non-polar VOCs;
[0049] The 3-aminophenyl functional groups form directional adsorption with oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing VOCs (such as formaldehyde, aniline) through hydrogen bonding, and the polydimethylsiloxane main chain produces strong physical adsorption with non-polar aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene through van der Waals force, thereby realizing broad-spectrum and efficient capture of complex mixed VOCs systems.
[0050] Further, the acid ester compound includes sorbitan oleate and sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether, and the mass ratio of sorbitan oleate to sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether is 1-5:1;
[0051] The HLB value of sorbitan oleate is 4.3, and the hydrophobic long-chain structure of sorbitan oleate is embedded in the gel network to enhance the solubility and diffusion capacity of non-polar VOCs; the HLB value of sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether is 15.0, and the hydrophilic polyoxyethylene segment of sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether forms a micro-aqueous phase region in the gel interior, which helps to maintain the structural stability of the material in a low-humidity environment and promotes the penetration and adsorption of polar VOCs.
[0052] Further, the purity of 2,2'-azobis 2-methylpropionitrile is not less than 99.0%, and as a radical initiator, it decomposes to produce primary radicals at 40-65°C in the gradient temperature process, initiates copolymerization of styrene monomers and polymerizable groups on the side chains of bis-3-aminophenyl polydimethylsiloxane, and the amount is controlled at 1-10 parts, which ensures a moderate polymerization rate and avoids local overheating to cause gel structure defects.
[0053] Further, the styrene and its derivatives include: 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol and 3,4-dimethoxy styrene, wherein the mass ratio of 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol to 3,4-dimethoxy styrene is 1-5:1;
[0054] The molecular structure of 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol contains phenolic hydroxyl and methoxy, which can retain active hydrogen donor sites after polymerization and form hemiacetal structure with aldehyde VOCs (such as formaldehyde); the two ortho methoxy groups of 3,4-dimethoxy styrene produce steric hindrance effect, inhibit excessive π-π stacking of benzene ring, and maintain the openness of gel pore channel.
[0055] Further, the divinylbenzene includes: meta isomer and para isomer, wherein the mass ratio of meta isomer to para isomer is 1-5:1, and the total vinyl content is 55-65%;
[0056] The amount of divinylbenzene is 0.1-0.5 parts, which reacts with the double bonds on the polysiloxane side chain and the styrene monomers in the polymerization process to form a three-dimensional network structure;
[0057] The crosslinking density of the three-dimensional network structure maintains the storage modulus G' of the gel in the range of 10^3-10^4 Pa at 25°C, which not only ensures that the material has sufficient mechanical strength to adhere to the vertical wall without flowing, but also maintains sufficient flexibility to withstand daily cleaning operations without breaking and falling off.
[0058] Further, the resistivity of water is not less than 18.2 MΩ·cm, which is used to adjust the viscosity of the reaction system and participate in the formation of hydrophilic microzones;
[0059] The amount of water added is 1-50 parts, which is adjusted according to the water content requirement of the target gel; when the amount is less than 10 parts, the gel is hydrophobic dominant, which is suitable for low humidity environment; when the amount is more than 30 parts, a hydrated gel phase is formed, which is suitable for high humidity working conditions, but needs to be matched with acid ester compounds to prevent phase separation.
[0060] The application also provides a preparation method of the organic gas adsorption gel for dust-free workshop, which comprises the following steps:
[0061] S1. 60-80 parts of bis-3-aminophenyl polydimethylsiloxane, 10-30 parts of acid ester compound, 1-10 parts of 2,2'-azobis 2-methylpropionitrile, 1-5 parts of styrene and its derivatives, and 0.1-0.5 parts of divinylbenzene are placed in a sealed container and subjected to ultrasonic treatment in an ultrasonic shaker at a frequency of 20-50 MHz for 10-100 min, so that the components are fully dispersed and initially swelled;
[0062] S2. Add 1-50 parts of ultrapure water, continue to stir until the system is a uniform viscous fluid, and the apparent viscosity is 5000-50000 mPa·s (25℃, shear rate 10s⁻¹) ;
[0063] S3. Transfer the obtained viscous fluid into a mold, and place it in a vacuum drying oven to remove bubbles under a vacuum degree of 0.095-0.1 MPa for 30-60 min;
[0064] S4. Program the temperature to rise at a rate of 1-10℃ / min to 40-100℃, and react at this temperature for 2-6 h to complete the free radical polymerization and crosslinking curing;
[0065] S5. Soak the obtained gel block in ethanol for 1-10 times, each time for 30 min, wash with petroleum ether for 1-10 times, each time for 20 min, and finally dry at 30-50℃ under a vacuum degree of 0.08-0.1 MPa for 10-14 h.
[0066] Further, the ultrasonic oscillation treatment adopts a continuous wave mode, and the power density is 5-50 W / cm², so as to ensure that the polysiloxane chain segment is fully disentangled and forms a homogeneous prepolymer system with monomer molecules;
[0067] The pressure fluctuation range of the vacuum treatment stage is not more than ±0.002 MPa, so as to avoid the collapse of micropores in the gel or the wrinkling of the surface;
[0068] The gradient temperature rising process is divided into two stages: the first stage is to rise from room temperature to 65℃ at a rate of 3-5℃ / min, for activating the initiator; and the second stage is to rise from 65℃ to the final temperature of 80-100℃ at a rate of 1-2℃ / min, for promoting the crosslinking reaction to be complete;
[0069] In the ethanol cleaning step, the purity of ethanol is not less than 99.9%, and fresh solvent is replaced each time until the ultraviolet absorbance of the washing-out liquid at 210 nm is less than 0.01; the petroleum ether cleaning is used to remove acid ester compounds and low molecular weight oligomers that do not participate in the reaction, and the end point of cleaning is confirmed by thin layer chromatography detection.
[0070] The three-dimensional network structure of the gel is jointly constructed by a polydimethylsiloxane main chain, a styrene copolymer branch and a divinylbenzene crosslinking point, the specific surface area is 280-420 m² / g as determined by the BET method, the average pore size is 3.5-8.2 nm, and the pore volume is 0.35-0.62 cm³ / g;
[0071] The multi-level pore structure contains micropores (<2 nm) and mesopores (2-50 nm), which is suitable for adsorbing VOCs of different molecular sizes, and the Zeta potential of the gel surface is-8 to-15 mV in the pH range of 5-8, which is beneficial to adsorbing positively charged VOCs molecules through electrostatic action;
[0072] The thermal gravimetric analysis of the gel shows that the mass loss is less than 3% within 200°C, the dynamic mechanical analysis shows that the glass transition temperature is-45 to-30°C, the elongation at break is ≥350%, the tensile strength is ≥0.15 MPa, and the adhesion reaches 4B or above according to the ASTM D3359 standard test.
[0073] In practical application, the gel can be made into a sheet with a thickness of 0.5-3.0 mm, or directly applied to the surface of a clean room wall, ceiling, equipment cover, etc. by means of scraping or spraying, and can be peeled off in whole after the use cycle, avoiding the generation of fine particles. The waste gel is pyrolyzed at 150°C for 2h, and the VOCs desorption rate is >95%, and the residue can be safely landfilled.

[0077] S2. 25 parts of ultrapure water are added, and stirring is continued until the system becomes a viscous fluid with an apparent viscosity of 25000mPa·s;
[0078] S3. The obtained viscous fluid is transferred to a mold, and is placed in a vacuum drying oven to remove bubbles under a vacuum degree of 0.095MPa for 45min, and the pressure fluctuation is not more than ±0.002MPa;

[0105] Experimental methods and procedures:
[0106] Sample preparation: The gel samples prepared according to Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were prepared into samples with a thickness of 0.5 to 3㎜, and cut into standard sizes required for subsequent testing.
[0107] Specific surface area, pore size and pore volume test (results shown in Table 1): Determined by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm BET method; the prepared gel samples were vacuum degassed at 100℃ for 2h to completely remove the adsorbed water and impurities in the samples, and then nitrogen adsorption-desorption test was performed at 77K liquid nitrogen temperature using a specific surface area and pore size analyzer, and the specific surface area, average pore size and pore volume of the sample were calculated by analyzing the obtained isotherm.
[0108] Surface Zeta potential test (results are shown in Table 1): The zeta potential was measured using a zeta potential meter. The gel sample was dispersed in ultrapure water with a resistivity of not less than 18.2 MΩ·cm to prepare a dispersion with a concentration of 0.1% w / v. The pH of the dispersion was adjusted to 5, 6, 7 and 8 with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide solution, respectively. The zeta potential value was then measured at each pH value. The final result was the average of multiple measurements.
[0109] Thermal stability test (results are shown in Table 2): The test was conducted using a thermogravimetric analyzer. Approximately 10 mg of gel sample was weighed and placed in the sample pan of the TGA instrument. Under nitrogen atmosphere protection, the temperature was increased from room temperature to 200°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and the mass change of the sample during this process was continuously recorded.
[0110] Glass transition temperature and mechanical property testing (results are shown in Table 2): The test was conducted using a dynamic mechanical analyzer. The gel sample was first processed into a standard dumbbell-shaped tensile specimen, and then mounted on the DMA fixture. The tensile rate was set to 10 mm / min for tensile testing. The glass transition temperature was determined by analyzing the obtained temperature-modulus curve, and the elongation at break and tensile strength of the material were calculated from the stress-strain curve.
[0111] Adhesion test (results shown in Table 2): The cross-cut adhesion test was performed according to ASTM D3359 standard. The gel was evenly coated or adhered to a clean standard steel plate surface. After complete curing, a 1mm × 1mm grid was cut into the gel surface using a cutting tool. Special adhesive tape was then applied and quickly peeled off. The extent of gel detachment in the grid areas was observed under a microscope, and the adhesion level was determined according to the standard rating chart.

[0116] From Table 1 and Table 2, we can see that:
[0117] Example 1 exhibits the best overall performance, with a specific surface area as high as 350.12 m² / g, an average pore size of 5.85 nm, good thermal stability, and excellent mechanical properties. This is achieved through the formulation ratio to form an ideal three-dimensional network structure.
[0118] The amount of bis(3-aminophenyl)polydimethylsiloxane is 70 parts, which enables the polydimethylsiloxane backbone to effectively adsorb non-polar organic gases through van der Waals forces, while the 3-aminophenyl functional groups of its side chain can capture polar gas molecules through hydrogen bonding.
[0119] Acid ester compounds are combined in a 3:1 mass ratio to regulate the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of the gel, ensuring structural stability while providing transport channels for gas molecules of different polarities. The special functional groups in the styrene derivative further enhance the interaction with specific gases, while an appropriate amount of divinylbenzene constructs a cross-linked network with both high specific surface area and good mechanical strength, thereby giving the gel efficient and broad-spectrum adsorption capacity.
[0120] Examples 2 to 5 mainly changed the amount of bis(3-aminephenyl)polydimethylsiloxane. The performance changes in Examples 2 to 5 reveal the decisive influence of this key component on the network structure.
[0121] When the amount is reduced to 60 parts, as in Example 2, the polysiloxane used as the skeleton and the carrier of the main functional groups is insufficient, resulting in a sparse three-dimensional cross-linked network structure. This directly causes the specific surface area to decrease to 320.45 m² / g. At the same time, due to the decrease in cross-linking density, the mechanical strength of the material is weakened and the thermal stability decreases.
[0122] When the amount is increased to 80 parts, as in Example 5, although the specific surface area is improved, excessive long-chain molecules may cause the network structure to be too dense and the pore size distribution to change, which in turn affects the diffusion rate of gas molecules inside the gel.
[0123] Therefore, the dosage of 70 parts in Example 1 is a balance point that can maintain the openness and stability of the network structure while ensuring sufficient adsorption sites.
[0124] Examples 6 to 9 demonstrate the influence of different mass ratios within the ester compounds. The ratio of sorbitan oleate to dehydrated sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether ranges from 1:1 to 5:1, with each component dominating hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, respectively.
[0125] When the ratio is 1:1, as in Example 6, there is a relatively large amount of hydrophilic components, which leads to excessively large hydrophilic microdomains inside the gel. This to some extent disrupts the uniformity of the structure, resulting in parameters such as specific surface area and pore volume being slightly lower than the optimal state.
[0126] When the ratio is increased to 4:1, as in Examples 8 and 9, the hydrophobic properties are enhanced, which is more conducive to the adsorption of nonpolar organic gases. However, compared with the 3:1 ratio in Example 1, its hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance is not optimal, and it may not be stable enough, especially in environments with changing humidity.
[0127] The 3:1 ratio in Example 1 allows the two ester molecules to achieve optimal synergy in the microscopic phase of the gel network, jointly constructing an efficient gas adsorption and transport pathway.
[0128] Comparative Example 1 showed that replacing bis-3-aminophenyl polydimethylsiloxane with ordinary polydimethylsiloxane significantly degraded its performance, confirming the importance of the 3-aminophenyl functional group.
[0129] Ordinary polydimethylsiloxane can only rely on van der Waals forces for physical adsorption. The lack of amino functional groups prevents it from forming hydrogen bonds with polar organic gas molecules containing oxygen and nitrogen, resulting in a narrower adsorption spectrum and a significant decrease in its ability to capture key pollutants such as formaldehyde and aniline.
[0130] Meanwhile, the absence of amino groups also affects the polymerization reactivity with monomers such as styrene derivatives, resulting in insufficient integrity of the final three-dimensional network structure. This manifests as a significant reduction in specific surface area and weakened network strength, thereby comprehensively affecting the adsorption performance and mechanical stability of the gel.
[0131] Comparative Example 2 did not contain any ester compounds. The performance data of Comparative Example 2 indicate that these compounds play a key role as surfactants and structure-directing agents in the system.
[0132] The absence of acid ester compounds makes it difficult for hydrophobic polysiloxane segments and monomers to form a uniform and stable prepolymer system with hydrophilic ultrapure water, leading to phase separation. This microscopic heterogeneity directly causes a decrease in the network structure order of the final gel, a reduction in specific surface area, and an unsatisfactory pore size distribution.
[0133] The hydrophobic chains of sorbitan oleate and the hydrophilic chains of dehydrated sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether originally worked together to construct hydrophilic-hydrophobic microdomains within the gel that facilitate gas diffusion. Their absence reduces the transport efficiency of gas molecules within the gel, thereby affecting the overall adsorption kinetics and capacity.
[0134] Comparative Example 3 replaced specially made styrene and its derivatives with ordinary styrene, sacrificing the specific adsorption capacity brought by the functional groups.
[0135] Ordinary styrene monomers only provide aromatic ring structures after polymerization and mainly rely on π bonds for physical adsorption. However, the 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol and 3,4-dimethoxystyrene used in this invention introduce active groups such as phenolic hydroxyl and methoxy groups. The phenolic hydroxyl can react with aldehyde gases such as formaldehyde to form hemiacetal, achieving chemical adsorption. The methoxy group prevents excessive stacking of benzene rings through steric hindrance and maintains the openness of the pores.
[0136] Due to the lack of these specific functional groups, the chemical adsorption pathway of Comparative Example 3 is interrupted, and it relies solely on physical adsorption, resulting in a decrease in the adsorption capacity and selectivity for specific polar VOCs. This makes its purification effect in complex gas environments less effective than that of Example 1.
[0137] Based on the preferred embodiments of the present invention described above, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
