Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyoxyethylene ether materials technology, specifically to a quaternary ammonium salt type pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether composition and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Quaternary ammonium salt surfactants are widely used in fabric care, personal hygiene, cosmetics, oilfield chemicals, and materials processing due to their excellent softening, antistatic, emulsifying, bactericidal, and strong adsorption properties to negatively charged surfaces. Among them, polyoxyethylene ether compounds based on the pyrrolidine structure have attracted much attention due to their good hydrophilicity and biodegradability. The polyoxyethylene ether structure has good hydrophilicity and flexibility, which can effectively improve the water solubility, low-temperature stability, and compatibility with different systems of quaternary ammonium salt surfactants. Compared with traditional straight-chain alkyl tertiary amines or imidazole rings, the pyrrolidine ring structure, due to the conformational restriction of its ring structure, can form more stable and sterically more rationally oriented cationic centers. This not only enhances the chemical stability of the molecule but also improves its packing efficiency at the interface, thereby improving surface activity. However, the pyrrolidine structure and the numerous ether bonds present in the polyoxyethylene ether segments are prone to oxidative degradation under heat, oxygen, and long-term storage conditions, leading to molecular structure destruction and performance degradation, which has become an important factor limiting the further application of this type of surfactant. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare a quaternary ammonium salt type pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether composition with low surface tension and excellent antioxidant stability.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN120271997A discloses a pyrrolidine compound polyoxyethylene ether composition and its preparation method. This invention further accelerates the reaction rate and prevents the oxidation and discoloration of N-hydroxyethylpyrrolidine by using a negative pressure feeding method in the reactor, thereby increasing the yield of N-hydroxyethylpyrrolidine. The pyrrolidine compound polyoxyethylene ether composition is prepared by mixing pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether with different polymerization numbers, sodium pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, and sodium pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether carboxylate in a certain mass ratio. This composition can adjust the proportion of pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether with different lengths to change its hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity balance, so as to have excellent hydrophobic-hydrophilic, dispersion, and wetting properties, but its antioxidant properties still need to be improved.

[0033] Table 1 Performance Test Data
[0034] As can be seen from Table 1, the quaternary ammonium salt type pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether compositions prepared in Examples 5-7 of this application have good surface tension and antioxidant capacity.
[0035] The quaternary ammonium salt-type pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether compositions prepared in Examples 5-7 of this application possess both excellent surface tension regulation and antioxidant properties, primarily due to the synergistic effect between molecular structures. Specifically, the quaternary ammonium salt structure introduced into the quaternary ammonium salt-type pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether molecule endows the molecule with stable positive charge characteristics, significantly enhancing its solubility in the aqueous phase and its interfacial directional adsorption capacity. The pyrrolidine ring structure improves the molecule's structural rigidity and interfacial anchoring ability, enabling it to form a dense and ordered adsorption layer at solid-liquid and gas-liquid interfaces. Long-chain alkyl groups, as hydrophobic groups, help reduce the system's free energy at the interface, thereby effectively reducing surface tension. Simultaneously, the long, flexible polyoxyethylene ether segments in the molecule possess both good hydrophilicity and spatial compliance, improving the molecule's dispersion stability in the aqueous phase and promoting its rapid spreading at the interface. Furthermore, the triazine ring structure in the antioxidant molecules added to the composition serves as a stable backbone unit, contributing to improved thermal stability and structural durability. The long, flexible ether chain enhances the compatibility and dispersibility of the antioxidant in the composition system. The hindered phenolic structure efficiently captures free radicals generated in the system, inhibiting the occurrence of oxidative chain reactions. After the quaternary ammonium salt-type pyrrolidine polyoxyethylene ether molecules are compounded with the antioxidant molecules, the surface-active components form a stable adsorption layer at the interface, while the antioxidant is uniformly distributed throughout the system, continuously exerting its free radical inhibition effect. This allows the composition to significantly improve its overall antioxidant capacity while reducing surface tension, ensuring its performance stability during use.
