Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of synthetic materials technology, and in particular to a waterproof and breathable TPU film and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films are widely used in outdoor clothing, medical protective equipment, and electronic product packaging due to their excellent elasticity, abrasion resistance, low-temperature resistance, and processability. An ideal TPU film needs to have "waterproof and breathable" functions, that is, it can block the penetration of external liquid water while allowing water vapor molecules such as sweat to escape, maintaining wearing comfort.
[0003] In existing technologies, the main approaches to achieving air permeability in TPU films include: 1) Microporous air permeability method, which involves forming a large number of interconnected submicron-sized pores within the film, allowing water vapor to diffuse but blocking liquid water. However, the microporous structure is prone to clogging or failure due to stains and washing under long-term use or water pressure, resulting in poor waterproof durability. 2) Hydrophilic non-porous air permeability method, which relies on the adsorption-diffusion-desorption of water molecules by hydrophilic segments in the film body or added hydrophilic agents. Although this method avoids pore clogging problems, it usually has low air permeability efficiency, and hydrophilic components are prone to migration and precipitation under high temperature and high humidity environments, leading to performance degradation.
[0004] CN115537139B specifically relates to a waterproof and breathable TPU high and low temperature film and its preparation method. The waterproof and breathable TPU high and low temperature film includes, from top to bottom, a breathable and waterproof membrane layer, a TPU foam membrane layer, a mesh hot melt adhesive layer, and a release film layer. The TPU foam membrane layer has multiple spaced-apart air vents penetrating both the upper and lower surfaces of the TPU foam membrane layer. The TPU foam high and low temperature film of this invention has a simple structure, good breathability and waterproof performance, excellent mechanical properties, is easy to use, and highly practical. Its preparation method is simple to operate, easy to control, has low production costs, and stable product quality, which is conducive to large-scale industrial production. However, it has the following drawbacks: the multi-layer composite process is complex, resulting in low production efficiency and high costs; and the penetrating air vents easily lead to liquid water leakage, resulting in poor waterproof durability.
[0005] Therefore, developing a dense, non-porous, waterproof, and breathable TPU film is a technical challenge that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a waterproof and breathable TPU film comprising the following components by weight: 100-120 parts TPU, 1-2 parts sodium bicarbonate, 1.2-2 parts citric acid monohydrate, 1-2 parts polyvinylpyrrolidone K30, 0.3-0.8 parts zinc stearate, 1-2 parts nanocellulose, 3-5 parts crosslinking agent, and 10-15 parts pore-forming agent. Zinc stearate, acting as a dispersant and heat stabilizer, decomposes first during extrusion, forming a micro-regional thermal barrier around the polyvinylpyrrolidone K30. Sodium bicarbonate then decomposes, and citric acid begins to melt and react with sodium bicarbonate; the temperature difference between their decomposition forms a time gradient. Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 exhibits partial compatibility in molten TPU and migrates to the film surface in a shear flow field, carrying some sodium bicarbonate along with it, thus forming a spatial gradient. Sodium bicarbonate decomposes to produce carbon dioxide, and citric acid decomposes to produce carbon dioxide and release water of crystallization. The water vapor expands rapidly at high temperatures, creating a dual foaming dynamic. Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 not only serves as a dispersion medium for the foaming agent, but its amide groups also act as bubble stabilizers during the foaming process, preventing bubble coalescence and ultimately forming a gradient pore size distribution from the surface to the inner layer. Nanocellulose forms a three-dimensional network structure in the film, significantly reinforcing and toughening it. It also refines the microphase separation structure of TPU, extending the tortuosity of the diffusion path for water vapor molecules. This improves mechanical properties, while its surface hydrophilic groups also participate in water molecule transfer, synergistically promoting moisture permeability.
[0007] Furthermore, the pore-forming agent is composed of 10-12 parts sodium chloride and 3-5 parts PEG-10000. Water-soluble pore-forming agents are a common method for creating pores, but they are difficult to form interconnected channels. This invention achieves better technical results through the synergistic effect of two pore-forming agents. Sodium chloride forms a hard template in TPU, and after dissolving, it forms the main channels. PEG-10000 is partially compatible with TPU, forming nanopores during phase separation, and after dissolving, it forms secondary channels. The two types of channels are interconnected to form a tertiary channel structure. At the same time, PEG-10000 has a dual function of plasticizing and pore-forming. During processing, PEG-10000 acts as a plasticizer, reducing the melt viscosity of TPU and promoting the uniform dispersion of sodium chloride. After cooling, PEG-10000 crystallizes and separates from the TPU phase, and after dissolving, it forms micropores.
[0008] Furthermore, the crosslinking agent is composed of 2-3 parts urea, 1-2 parts boric acid, and 0.2-0.5 parts ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. At the TPU processing temperature, urea reacts with boric acid to form a borate-urea complex. This complex can form coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds with urethane bonds, urea bonds, etc., in the TPU. Simultaneously, urea itself can form hydrogen bonds with the TPU, enhancing intermolecular forces. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate promotes the reaction.
[0009] Furthermore, the TPU is polyether-type 58887A, manufactured by Lubrizol. Polyether-type 58887A TPU is a high-performance, low-temperature resistant thermoplastic polyurethane material with excellent elasticity and abrasion resistance. It maintains good mechanical properties at low temperatures and has excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for film preparation.
[0010] Furthermore, the TPU film also includes 1-2 parts of a nano-sized gallic acid-zinc coordination compound, which is prepared by dissolving gallic acid and zinc chloride in ethanol at a molar ratio of 2:1, reacting for 1 hour, adding water to precipitate the precipitate, filtering, washing, and drying to obtain the nano-sized gallic acid-zinc coordination compound. In the gallic acid-zinc coordination compound, zinc ions and ortho-diphenol hydroxyl groups form dynamic coordination bonds, forming a gallic acid-zinc ion cross-linked network. When damaged by water, it self-repairs, forming a self-healing waterproof layer.
[0011] Furthermore, the sodium chloride particle size is 10~20μm.
[0012] Furthermore, the foaming process in the TPU film is carried out by a synergistic gradient foaming of sodium bicarbonate-citric acid monohydrate-polyvinylpyrrolidone K30, wherein polyvinylpyrrolidone migrates to the surface during processing, carrying some of the foaming agent, forming a gradient distribution of small pores on the surface and large pores in the inner layer.
[0013] Furthermore, the above-mentioned method for preparing the waterproof and breathable TPU film includes the following steps: S1. Add all components to a high-speed mixer in proportion, mix for 8 minutes, and then vacuum dry to obtain the mixture; S2. Add the mixture obtained in step S1 into a co-rotating twin-screw extruder, gradually increase the temperature between 170 and 220°C, stir, melt, extrude, water cool, and pelletize to obtain masterbatch. By gradually increasing the temperature, the components can melt and decompose at different stages, achieving the ideal foaming effect. S3. Add the masterbatch obtained in step S2 to a single-screw blown film machine, set the barrel temperature to 180°C and the die temperature to 180°C, and obtain a film with a thickness of 20~30μm. S4. The film obtained in step S3 is first immersed in water at 40~60℃ to dissolve sodium chloride, and then immersed in warm water at 30~50℃ to dissolve PEG-10000, to obtain the dissolved film; S5. Immerse the dissolved film obtained in step S4 into a tannic acid ethanol solution with a concentration of 1~3g / L for 0.5~2min, and dry to obtain a waterproof and breathable TPU film. After tannic acid treatment and impregnation, the tannic acid is adsorbed on the surface of the pores, providing abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups and enhancing hydrophilicity.
[0014] Further, the waterproof and breathable TPU film obtained in step S5 is treated with triethoxy-1H,1H,2H,2H-tridecylfluoro-N-octylsilane vapor for 20-40 minutes, and then dried to obtain the treated waterproof and breathable TPU film. The triethoxy-1H,1H,2H,2H-tridecylfluoro-N-octylsilane vapor treatment followed by vapor deposition forms a low surface energy monolayer on the surface, creating an asymmetric wettability gradient pore structure with an "inner hydrophilic and outer hydrophobic" orientation. Water vapor is rapidly adsorbed from the inner surface (hydrophilic), transported by capillary forces, and escapes from the outer surface (superhydrophobic), while liquid water cannot enter due to the high hydrophobicity of the outer surface and the tortuous nature of the pores.
[0015] Further, the dissolved film prepared in step S4 is transferred to a high-pressure reactor, heated to 40°C, and carbon dioxide is injected to 100 bar. This is maintained for 4 hours to allow for full carbon dioxide permeation. Then, the pressure is reduced at a programmed rate of 0.5 MPa / s to further open the pores, followed by the processing in step S5. The carbon dioxide further enhances permeability and improves product performance.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. Excellent waterproof and breathable properties: The prepared waterproof and breathable TPU film has both high hydrostatic pressure resistance (>30kPa) and high water vapor permeability (>10500g / (m²·24h)).
[0017] 2. Excellent mechanical properties and durability: The three-dimensional reinforcing network of nanocellulose and the rigid-tough combination of the TPU matrix endow the film with high strength and high toughness. The moderate cross-linking network constructed by the reactive cross-linking agent effectively locks in the functional components, and the hydrolysis-resistant stabilizer provides chemical protection. Together, they ensure that the film maintains stable performance under repeated washing, long-term use and harsh environments.
[0018] 3. Processability and environmental friendliness: All components are highly compatible and can be prepared using conventional melt processing methods (blown film). The process is simple and efficient, suitable for large-scale production. The film does not contain plasticizers or other easily migrating small molecules, making it environmentally friendly.
