Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a recyclable and environmentally friendly adhesive, specifically, to a bio-based polyurethane hot melt adhesive and its preparation method that achieves thermally reversible crosslinking based on bio-based polyol soft segments and multi-level hydrogen bonding. Technical Background
[0002] Hot melt adhesives, as solvent-free and environmentally friendly adhesive materials, are widely used in packaging, textiles, electronics, and automotive industries. Polyurethane hot melt adhesives have attracted much attention due to their excellent bonding properties, good flexibility, and weather resistance. From a molecular structure perspective, polyurethane hot melt adhesives also possess the characteristics of block copolymerization composed of soft and hard segments. Their microscopic phase separation structure and tunable molecular design provide a foundation for performance optimization. Under the global trend of environmental protection and sustainable development, using bio-based raw materials (such as bio-based polyols) to replace petroleum-based raw materials in the synthesis of polyurethane hot melt adhesives not only meets the needs of green and low-carbon development but also provides new ideas for expanding their application areas.
[0003] However, bio-based polyurethane hot melt adhesives still face key bottlenecks in practical applications. On the one hand, their mechanical properties and adhesive strength are generally lower than those of petroleum-based products, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-strength applications. On the other hand, the impact of thermal reversibility and structural stability on adhesive performance during repeated melting and processing has not been fully addressed. It is worth noting that how to achieve a synergistic improvement in adhesive strength while maintaining good flowability and reversible adhesive performance has become a key research focus in this field. Chinese invention patent CN120310511B discloses a bio-based polyurethane hot melt adhesive and its preparation method, which reportedly possesses high hydrolysis resistance, high initial tack, and high bond strength. Chinese invention patent CN115926722B discloses a method for preparing a recyclable bio-based thermosetting polyurethane hot melt adhesive, which reportedly features low melt viscosity, high peel strength, and recyclability.
[0004] The present invention aims to construct a bio-based polyurethane hot melt adhesive that combines thermal reversibility, high peel strength and recyclability by introducing bio-based soft segments and synergistically enhancing the role of disordered hydrogen bonds in hard segments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a bio-based polyurethane hot melt adhesive. The hot melt adhesive prepared by this method has excellent bonding strength, thermal reversibility and recyclability, thereby achieving green sustainability throughout the entire product life cycle.

[0010] (3) The application of the bio-based reversible crosslinked polyurethane hot melt adhesive prepared in (2) above as a hot melt sealant in the field of electronic devices is characterized in that the tensile shear strength of the hot melt adhesive on the stainless steel substrate is 0.45-0.5 MPa, and the bonding interface can be separated after heating at 100 °C for 10 minutes; the experimental method is relatively simple, has good biocompatibility, and can be used for large-scale production.
[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
