Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of high polymer materials, in particular to a shock absorber bumper block containing high-strength polyurethane composite material and a preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shock absorber bumper block is mainly applied in the automobile industry, and its main function is to serve as a buffer when the shock absorber stroke reaches the limit (for example, when the vehicle passes through a large pit, experiences severe bumps or causes the vehicle body to greatly pitch due to emergency braking), and it is severely compressed to serve as a "last line of defense" to prevent rigid collision of metal parts (piston rod and bottom of the oil cylinder) and thus protect the shock absorber assembly and the vehicle body structure. If the strength is insufficient, the bumper block will be crushed or permanently deformed, losing the buffering function. Modern high-performance bumper blocks usually use polyurethane material, which has excellent mechanical strength and wear resistance, but poor flame retardant performance, which can endanger people's lives and property safety.

In addition, the application uses isocyanate-modified attapulgite, which is uniformly dispersed in the composite material matrix. Since the isocyanate-modified attapulgite contains an isocyanate group, it can be cured on the surface of the attapulgite to form a crosslinked network structure, and the attapulgite is uniformly dispersed in the matrix, which can well play a supporting and reinforcing role, and can effectively improve the strength of the buffer block.

[0039] Comparative Example 1

[0040] The difference between the present comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (4), attapulgite is used instead of isocyanate modified attapulgite, and the remaining steps are substantially the same as those of Example 1.

[0041] Comparative Example 2

[0042] The difference between the present comparative example and Example 1 is that in step (4), tetra-epoxy magnolol is used instead of DOPO-based magnolol, and the remaining steps are substantially the same as those of Example 1.

[0043] Comparative Example 3

[0044] (1) 80 mmol of magnolol was added to a dispersion in dioxane solvent, 240 mmol of m-CPBA was added thereto, the mixture was stirred and mixed uniformly, slowly warmed to 40°C, and reacted for 40 h. After the reaction was completed, the filtrate was collected by suction filtration, extracted with a sodium carbonate solution, washed with deionized water, dried, and rotary evaporated to obtain di-epoxy magnolol. The reaction synthesis route is as follows:

[0045] ;

[0046] (2) 50 mmol of di-epoxy magnolol and 105 mmol of DOPO were dispersed in toluene solvent, stirred and dispersed, and then 0.4 mmol of triphenylphosphine was added thereto. Under nitrogen protection, the mixture was refluxed and reacted for 24 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was rotary evaporated, washed with deionized water, and dried to obtain DOPO-based magnolol. The reaction synthesis route is as follows:

[0047] ;

[0048] (3) 100 parts by weight of polyether polyol 4110, 5 parts by weight of DOPO-based magnolol, 2 parts by weight of silicone oil, 5 parts by weight of N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine catalyst, 2 parts by weight of deionized water, and 15 parts by weight of n-pentane solvent were stirred and mixed uniformly to obtain component A; 100 parts by weight of polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate (trade name PM-200) and 2 parts by weight of isocyanate modified attapulgite were stirred and mixed uniformly to obtain component B; components A and B were stirred and mixed uniformly, placed in a mold to foam, and after the foam was formed, it was first placed in an oven at 80°C for 4 h, then warmed to 120°C for 4 h of curing, and then cut into shape using a foam cutting machine to obtain a shock absorber buffer block containing a high-strength polyurethane composite material.

[0049] The limiting oxygen index of the sample was tested using an oxygen index analyzer;

[0050] The UL-94 of the sample was tested using a vertical burning tester;

[0051] The heat resistance of the sample is tested by using a thermal gravimetric analyzer, the temperature rising rate is 10℃ / min, and the temperature rising range is 50-800℃.

[0052] Table 1:

[0053] Limiting oxygen index (%) UL-94 (rating) 700℃ char yield (%) Example 1 28.7 V-0 11.4 Example 2 31.2 V-0 12.3 Example 3 33.4 V-0 12.8 Comparative Example 1 24.2 V-1 9.6 Comparative Example 2 19.8 - - Comparative Example 3 27.3 V-0 6.7

[0054] As shown in Table 1, the buffer block prepared by the application has good flame retardant performance and heat resistance. In Comparative Example 1, attapulgite is used instead of isocyanate modified attapulgite, and the unmodified attapulgite has poor dispersion performance in the organic matrix, which seriously affects the flame retardant performance and heat resistance of the buffer block. In Comparative Example 2, tetra-epoxy magnolol is used instead of DOPO-based magnolol, which does not contain a flame-retardant DOPO structure and cannot form an organic-inorganic synergistic flame-retardant system with modified attapulgite, so its flame retardant performance is the worst. In addition, it does not contain a benzoxazine structure and a rigid benzene ring structure with good heat resistance, so its heat resistance is also poor. In Comparative Example 3, it contains a flame-retardant DOPO structure, but it does not contain a benzoxazine structure compared with DOPO-based magnolol. The benzoxazine structure can absorb heat and cross-link at high temperatures to further improve the compactness of the buffer block. As the temperature rises, the benzoxazine structure can form a dense carbon layer on the surface of the matrix, which can hinder the transfer of heat and matter, helping to improve the flame retardant performance and heat resistance. However, Comparative Example 3 does not contain such a structure, so its heat resistance and flame retardant performance are not as good as those of the application.

[0055] The apparent density of the sample is evaluated according to ASTM D1622 by using an electronic balance, and the sample size is 50x50x25mm. 3 .

[0056] The compressive strength is tested by using a mechanical testing machine, and the sample size is 50x50x25mm. 3 , and the compression rate is 2.5mm / min.

[0057] Table 2:

[0058] Density (kg / m 3 ) Compressive strength (MPa) Example 1 72.0 0.35 Example 2 74.3 0.37 Example 3 75.1 0.38 Comparative Example 1 62.3 0.30 Comparative Example 2 57.9 0.28 Comparative Example 3 68.4 0.32

[0059] It can be seen from the table that the buffer block prepared by the application has high strength, the attapulgite is used instead of isocyanate modified attapulgite in Comparative Example 1, the unmodified attapulgite has poor dispersing performance in the organic matrix, thus affecting the strength and density of the buffer block, the uniformly dispersed organic modified attapulgite is used in the application, which can not only play a supporting and reinforcing role, but also form a large crosslinking density through the curing of the isocyanate groups on the surface, thus effectively improving the strength and density of the buffer block, the tetraoxirane thick oaks phenol is used instead of the DOPO-based thick oaks phenol in Comparative Example 2, which does not contain reactive hydroxyl groups, thus cannot form a dense crosslinking network structure, and the higher the crosslinking density, the better the mechanical properties, thus the mechanical properties of Comparative Example 2 are poor, Comparative Example 3 contains hydroxyl groups, but the mechanical properties are still poorer than those of the application, and the reason is speculated as follows: the Mannich reaction using enamine in the application can effectively increase the carbon chain, the longer the carbon chain, the greater the physical crosslinking density, and the better the mechanical properties.

[0060] In conclusion, the shock absorber buffer block containing the high-strength polyurethane composite material prepared by the application has good flame retardant performance, high-temperature resistance, large density and compressive strength.

[0061] The specific embodiments are only an explanation of the application, and are not a limitation of the application, and those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without creative contribution according to the needs after reading the specification, as long as the modifications are within the scope of the claims of the application, and are protected by the patent law.
