Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional material preparation technology, and in particular to a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) composite film, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Laminated glass, a common type of safety glass, is widely used in transportation (automobiles or high-speed trains) and construction. This is because the interlayer in laminated glass structure provides the safety characteristic of preventing shards from flying everywhere when broken. As the core functional component of laminated glass, the performance of the interlayer directly determines its safety and durability. Polyvinyl butyral resin, a common material for interlayer glass, is of great significance for modification.

[0003] To improve the performance of polyvinyl butyral resin, some technicians have proposed adjusting the butyl content and the total proportion of triol-type hydroxyl groups to enhance its properties. However, this method only considers the total content of triol-type hydroxyl groups and does not address the impact of their segment distribution on performance. Practical applications show that the segment distribution of triol-type hydroxyl groups directly affects the intermolecular forces, compatibility with plasticizers, and film adhesion of polyvinyl butyral resin. Random distribution leads to fluctuations in the mechanical properties of polyvinyl butyral resin.

[0004] Furthermore, the existing preparation methods for polyvinyl butyral intermediate films are mainly single extrusion molding, which lacks process matching for the directional distribution of chain segments. This results in the inability to accurately control the distribution of triol-type hydroxyl segments, and the processing indicators such as film thickness uniformity and edge smoothness are prone to deviation.

[0005] Therefore, developing a polyvinyl butyral resin intermediate film with synergistic mechanical and processing properties is of great significance and application value. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a polyvinyl butyral composite film, its preparation method and application. The polyvinyl butyral composite film provided by the present invention has excellent synergy between mechanical properties and processing properties.

[0007] This invention provides a polyvinyl butyral composite film, comprising alternating layers of an X-type resin film and a Y-type resin film; the X-type resin film comprises a first polyvinyl butyral resin and a first plasticizer; the triol-type hydroxyl segments of the first polyvinyl butyral resin are distributed as follows: syndiotropic triol-type hydroxyl groups are distributed in the middle segment of the molecular chain, accounting for 60-70% of the triol-type hydroxyl groups; isotropic triol-type hydroxyl groups are distributed at both ends of the molecular chain, accounting for 20-30% of the triol-type hydroxyl groups; and atactic triol-type hydroxyl groups account for 10-15% of the triol-type hydroxyl groups; the Y-type resin film comprises a second polyvinyl butyral resin and a second plasticizer; the triol-type hydroxyl segments of the second polyvinyl butyral resin are distributed as follows: isotropic triol-type hydroxyl groups are distributed in the middle segment of the molecular chain, accounting for 50-60% of the triol-type hydroxyl groups; syndiotropic triol-type hydroxyl groups are distributed at both ends of the molecular chain, accounting for 30-40% of the triol-type hydroxyl groups; and atactic triol-type hydroxyl groups account for 10-15% of the triol-type hydroxyl groups.

[0011] Preferably, the Y-type resin film further includes an antioxidant; the Y-type resin film further includes an ultraviolet absorber.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the polyvinyl butyral composite film described in the above-mentioned scheme, comprising the following steps: (1) Polyvinyl alcohol, a first composite acid catalyst, water and a portion of n-butyraldehyde are mixed and subjected to a first acetalization reaction, a second acetalization reaction with the remaining n-butyraldehyde and aging to obtain a first polyvinyl alcohol butyraldehyde resin; the first polyvinyl alcohol butyraldehyde resin and a first plasticizer are mixed and subjected to melt extrusion and casting to obtain an X-type resin film. (2) Polyvinyl alcohol, second composite acid catalyst, water and part of n-butyraldehyde are mixed and subjected to a third acetalization reaction, a fourth acetalization reaction with the remaining n-butyraldehyde and aging to obtain a second polyvinyl alcohol butyraldehyde resin; the second polyvinyl alcohol butyraldehyde resin and the second plasticizer are mixed and subjected to melt extrusion and casting to obtain a Y-type resin film. (3) The X-type resin film and the Y-type resin film are compositely extruded to obtain the polyvinyl butyral composite film; There is no requirement for the time order of steps (1) and (2).

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the first composite acid catalyst comprises hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid; the mass ratio of hydrochloric acid to phosphoric acid is 2.5~3.5:1; the proportion of partial n-butyraldehyde to all n-butyraldehyde is 35~45%; the proportion of remaining n-butyraldehyde to all n-butyraldehyde is 55~65%; the temperature of the first acetalization reaction is 25~30℃, and the reaction time is 2~3 hours; the temperature of the second acetalization reaction is 40~45℃, and the holding time is 3~4 hours; the aging temperature is 70~75℃, and the holding time is 2~3 hours.

[0015] The present invention also provides the application of the polyvinyl butyral composite film described in the above-described scheme or the polyvinyl butyral composite film obtained by the preparation method described in the above-described scheme as an interlayer film in laminated glass.

[0016] The present invention also provides a laminated glass, comprising an interlayer and glass plates adhered to both sides of the interlayer; the interlayer is a polyvinyl butyral composite film as described in the above-described scheme or a polyvinyl butyral composite film prepared by the above-described scheme.

[0017] This invention provides a polyvinyl butyral composite membrane. The polyvinyl butyral composite membrane provided by this invention structurally comprises two alternating layers of resin membranes (X-type resin membrane and Y-type resin membrane). This invention constructs a molecular structure of "rigid support + flexible compatibility" by directionally controlling the distribution of triol-type hydroxyl segments in the polyvinyl butyral resin of the two resin membranes. This synergistically improves the mechanical properties (e.g., puncture resistance) and processing properties (e.g., processing stability) of the polyvinyl butyral composite membrane, and the synergy between mechanical and processing properties is excellent. Specifically, in the X-type resin membrane, the isomeric triol-type hydroxyl groups (with higher rigidity) are concentrated in the middle segment of the molecular chain, providing mechanical support; the isomeric triol-type hydroxyl groups (with better flexibility) are distributed at both ends of the molecular chain, improving compatibility with plasticizers. In the Y-type resin membrane, the isomeric triol-type hydroxyl groups are concentrated in the middle segment of the molecular chain, enhancing the inter-chain forces; the isomeric triol-type hydroxyl groups are distributed at both ends of the molecular chain, improving its interfacial bonding with adjacent membrane layers. This invention constructs a micro-gradient that combines rigidity and flexibility through the aforementioned multi-layer composite structure, thereby synergistically improving the overall mechanical properties and interlayer bonding force of the material.

[0018] This invention also provides a method for preparing the polyvinyl butyral composite film described in the above-mentioned scheme. The core innovation of the preparation method provided by this invention lies in the directional control of the segmental distribution of isotropic, meta-isotropic, and atactic triol hydroxyl groups in the polyvinyl butyral resin through a segmented condensation reaction, combined with specific butyl content, plasticizer addition amount, and composite molding, enabling the polyvinyl butyral composite film to possess excellent penetration resistance, transparency, and processing stability. The preparation method provided by this invention has high precision and is compatible with existing industrial production equipment.

[0019] The inventors have discovered that the reactivity of segmented condensation reactions is significantly affected by temperature and steric hindrance. At lower temperatures (e.g., 25–40 °C) and with lower catalyst activity, n-butyraldehyde preferentially reacts with hydroxyl groups at the ends of the molecular chain, which are more mobile and have less steric hindrance, readily forming isomeric triol structures. However, at higher temperatures (e.g., 40–55 °C) and with higher catalyst activity, the reaction focuses on hydroxyl groups in the middle of the molecular chain, which have greater steric hindrance, thus favoring the formation of meta-isomeric triol structures. This invention utilizes segmented temperature control ("low temperature first, then high temperature") combined with a segmented dropwise addition method of n-butyraldehyde to guide the preferential generation and enrichment of triol-type hydroxyl groups with specific configurations at predetermined positions (ends or middle segments) of the molecular chain, thereby achieving directional control of chain segment distribution. Subsequent aging further stabilizes this microstructure and prevents chain segment rearrangement at high temperatures.

[0020] This invention also provides the application of the polyvinyl butyral composite film described in the above-described scheme or the polyvinyl butyral composite film prepared by the above-described scheme as an interlayer film in laminated glass. The polyvinyl butyral composite film provided by this invention is suitable for use in laminated glass, especially for the preparation of high-end safety glass in transportation (automobiles, high-speed rail) or construction fields, and has broad application prospects.

[0021] This invention also provides a laminated glass. The laminated glass provided by this invention has good safety and high stability, and is suitable for high-end applications in the construction or transportation sectors. Attached Figure Description

[0116] 2. Preparation of resin (b): According to the above patented method, polyvinyl alcohol (degree of polymerization 1500, degree of alcoholysis 99.5 mol%) was reacted with hydrochloric acid catalysis and n-butyraldehyde dropwise to obtain resin (b) with butyl content of 61 mol% and total triol hydroxyl content of 27.8%, with non-directional chain segment distribution design.

Other preparation processes are the same as those in the above patent.

[0118] Comparative Example 3 This comparative example uses only an X-type resin membrane, and the preparation method is the same as in Example 1, except that the thickness of the single membrane is 0.6 mm.

[0119] Comparative Example 4 This comparative example prepared a polyvinyl butyral composite membrane with a triol-type hydroxyl segment distribution exceeding the specified range. The preparation method was the same as in Example 1, except that: 1. Preparation of polyvinyl butyral resin (x"): The curing temperature was adjusted to 60℃ to obtain polyvinyl butyral resin (x") with 60 mol% butyl content and 10% total triol hydroxyl content. The chain segment distribution was: 55% syndioid (middle segment), 35% isomorphic (both ends) and 10% random (low proportion of syndioid middle segment).

[0120] 2. Preparation of polyvinyl butyral resin (y"): The curing temperature was adjusted to 90℃ to obtain polyvinyl butyral resin (y") with 65 mol% butyl content and 30% total triol hydroxyl content.

[0122] Test Example 1 The performance of the polyvinyl butyral composite films or intermediate films prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested according to the following standards: 1) Total light transmittance: According to GB / T2680-2021 "Test Methods for Solar and Optical Performance of Architectural Glass"; 2) Penetration resistance: According to JISR3212 "Test methods for safety glass for automobiles", a 2.26kg steel ball was dropped freely to test and the average penetration resistance height was recorded; 3) Thickness uniformity: Using a high-precision thickness gauge (accuracy ±0.001 mm), 10 test points were randomly selected, and the maximum deviation was calculated; 4) Thermal stability: After being placed in an 80 ℃ oven for 100 hours, observe whether the film layer shows warping, bubbling, or discoloration. The test results are shown in Table 1 and... Figures 1-2 As shown: Table 1 Performance test results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0123] According to Table 1 and Figures 1-2As can be seen, in terms of penetration resistance, the penetration resistance height of the embodiments of the present invention is 7.5~8.2m, which is significantly higher than that of Comparative Example 1 (random distribution, 6.5m), Comparative Example 2 (existing patent, 7.5m), and Comparative Example 4 (distribution out of range, 6.8m). This indicates that the present invention can effectively improve the mechanical properties of the polyvinyl butyral composite film by directionally regulating the distribution of triol-type hydroxyl segments. Example 5, due to its simple structure (only two layers), has slightly lower penetration resistance, highlighting the importance of optimizing multilayer composite structures.

[0124] Regarding transparency: the total light transmittance of the embodiments of the present invention is 89.8~91.5%, maintaining the inherent high transparency of the polyvinyl butyral composite film, proving that the directional regulation of the chain segment distribution of the present invention does not impair its optical performance.

[0125] Regarding thickness uniformity: the maximum deviation of thickness uniformity in the embodiments of the present invention is ≤ ±0.010 mm, which is better than that of Comparative Example 1 (±0.012 mm) and Comparative Example 2 (±0.015 mm), demonstrating the advantages of the precision molding preparation method of the present invention.

[0126] Regarding thermal stability: the embodiments of the present invention showed no abnormalities after thermal aging, while Comparative Examples 1 and 4 showed slight discoloration, indicating that the chain segment distribution design of the present invention has better compatibility with the plasticizer system and better thermal stability.

[0127] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects by directionally controlling the segment distribution of triol-type hydroxyl groups in polyvinyl butyral resin, combined with a precise preparation method: Significantly improved mechanical properties: The directional distribution of triol-type hydroxyl groups forms an intramolecular gradient structure of "rigid mid-section + flexible end" or "flexible mid-section + rigid end", which makes the penetration resistance of the polyvinyl butyral composite film reach 7.5~8.2m, which is better than the comparative example.

[0128] Excellent processing and overall performance: The molecular chain segments are evenly distributed, and it has good compatibility with plasticizers. Polyvinyl butyral composite film has no defects such as warping or bubbles during the molding process, has high thickness uniformity (deviation ≤ ±0.010mm), and strong thermal stability.

[0129] Highly feasible for industrial implementation: The preparation method can be fully utilized with existing polyvinyl butyral intermediate film production equipment, without the need for large-scale equipment modification, and the production cost is controllable, making it easy to scale up and promote.

[0130] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above; however, these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the above embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
