Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coating technology, specifically a surface treatment process for green fluorescentizing motorcycle brake pads. Background Technology
[0002] Fluorescent coatings combine the properties of coatings and fluorescence, and have been widely used in traffic signs, road markings, safety signs, automotive parts, decorations and other fields. Currently, fluorescent coatings are required to have not only higher luminous intensity, but also more luminous wavelengths and better overall performance.
[0003] With the accelerated electrification transformation of the motorcycle transportation industry, the market size of traditional fuel motorcycles and new energy electric motorcycles continues to expand. As a core safety component of vehicles, the braking system is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade in terms of performance and quality requirements. Currently, consumers' demand for brake pads has evolved from a single safety function to a composite demand of "safety performance, visual recognition, and functional integration." When riding at night, the luminous brake pads form a green halo as the wheel rotates, significantly improving the visibility of the vehicle's sides and rear, helping other road users (cars, pedestrians) to spot the motorcycle in time and reducing the risk of nighttime traffic accidents. During repairs, the brake pads can be quickly located, especially in low-light garages or roadside emergency repair scenarios.
[0004] Chinese patent CN119432204A discloses a high-brightness luminescent thermosetting powder coating and its preparation method. In this scheme, fluorescent powder is used as the luminescent material, and glycidyl acrylate modified polycarbonate, hydrogenated bisphenol A epoxy resin and tetraphenol ethylene epoxy resin are used as the main components of the coating. Due to its relatively high transparency and purity, the light emitted by the fluorescent powder can penetrate the coating more easily, thereby enhancing the brightness at night. However, when the fluorescent powder is applied to brake pads, the long-term operation of the brake pads at high temperatures can easily cause the fluorescent material to quench, affecting the luminescent performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a green fluorescent surface treatment process for motorcycle brake pads, using a process containing Eu. 2+ The green fluorescent system has high emission color purity and high fluorescence intensity, which can clearly and visually mark brake pads at night, in low light and in complex road conditions. The fluorescent powder is loaded and dispersed by expanded pore silica to ensure uniform fluorescence distribution and good luminescence consistency of the coating. The spatial confinement effect of expanded pore silica can reduce the quenching of fluorescent powder by external substances. In addition, the functionalized polypropylene with hindered phenol structure is modified to significantly extend the effective life of the fluorescent function.
[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A surface treatment process for green fluorescentizing motorcycle brake pads includes the following steps: Step 1: Using polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymer as a template and 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene as a pore-expanding agent, tetraethyl orthosilicate is hydrolyzed and crystallized to obtain expanded pore silica; by evaporating the solvent at high temperature, green fluorescent powder is uniformly loaded onto the pores and surface of the expanded pore silica to obtain fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material.
[0007] Step 2: Dissolve PP-g-MAH in decahydronaphthalene as a solvent, and utilize its maleic anhydride groups to combine with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material to covalently graft polypropylene molecular chains onto the surface of the fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material, thereby obtaining the modified fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material.
[0008] Step 3: Using decahydronaphthalene as a solvent, the PP segments on the surface of the modified fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material are entangled with the functionalized polypropylene molecular chains to form a coating of the modified fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material by functionalized polypropylene, thus obtaining an aging-resistant green fluorescent powder.

Then, fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material was added and the reaction was continued for 1-2 h. The mixture was filtered and the product was washed 2-4 times with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, respectively. The product was then dried under vacuum at 60-70℃ for 1-2 h to obtain the modified fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material.
[0017] Furthermore, the ratio of PP-g-MAH, decahydronaphthalene, and fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material is 10-12g: 100-130mL: 1-2g.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. This invention uses Eu-containing... 2+ The green fluorescent system has high emission color purity and high fluorescence intensity, which can clearly and visually mark brake pads at night, in low light and in complex road conditions. The fluorescent powder is loaded and dispersed by expanded pore silica to ensure uniform fluorescence distribution and good luminescence consistency of the coating. The spatial confinement effect of expanded pore silica can reduce the quenching of fluorescent powder by external substances. In addition, the functionalized polypropylene with hindered phenol structure is modified to significantly extend the effective life of the fluorescent function.
[0023] 2. This invention forms a dense organic protective layer on the surface of fluorescent hybrid materials by grafting and modifying PP-g-MAH and coating with functionalized polypropylene. This isolates oxygen and moisture, significantly improving the thermal stability and weather resistance of the fluorescent filler. The functionalized polypropylene itself contains hindered phenolic structures, which have excellent aging resistance. Combined with the nitrile rubber matrix, the overall fluorescent coating can adapt to the temperature rise environment during brake pad operation, and will not fade or fail after long-term use.
[0024] 3. This invention utilizes PP-g-MAH to chemically modify fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid materials. Maleic anhydride groups form chemical bonds with hydroxyl groups on the silica surface, and polypropylene segments are grafted onto the filler surface. This solves the problems of large polarity differences and weak interfacial bonding between inorganic fluorescent fillers and organic polypropylene and nitrile rubber. The modified fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material has significantly improved compatibility with the rubber matrix, is uniformly dispersed in coatings, and exhibits no obvious phase separation or particle agglomeration, resulting in a dense internal structure of the coating.

[0047] In the examples and comparative examples: 1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene was purchased from Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd., CAS No.: 108-67-8, molecular weight: 120.19.

[0051] Light magnesium oxide was purchased from Changsha Rongqing Chemical Products Co., Ltd., CAS No.: 1309-48-4.
[0052] The polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymer (polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene block copolymer) was purchased from Henan Weitixi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., CAS No.: 106392-12-5.
[0053] The functionalized polypropylene was purchased from Polymics, model number HP200.
[0054] The decahydronaphthalene was purchased from Shandong Yuxuan Chemical Products Co., Ltd., CAS No.: 91-17-8.
[0055] The nitrile latex was purchased from Shandong Wang's Brothers Rubber & Plastics Technology Co., Ltd., model: LXNBR-827.
[0056] The NGBBP motorcycle / ATV semi-metallic brake pads were purchased from Anhui Xiangchi Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd.
[0057] Performance tests were conducted on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3. The tensile strength of the aging-resistant green fluorescent coating was tested according to GB / T 528-2009, and the tensile strength was tested again after the coating was placed at 300℃ and 60% relative humidity for 50 hours. The heat resistance of the aging-resistant green fluorescent coating was tested according to GB / T 1735-2009, and the salt spray resistance was tested according to GB / T 1771-2007. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 As shown in Table 1, ordinary silica lacks ordered mesoporous and expanded pore structures, making it unable to load and spatially confine fluorescent powder. The fluorescent powder is prone to agglomeration, resulting in uneven fluorescence distribution and decreased brightness in the coating. Furthermore, the fluorescent powder is more easily quenched by the external environment, significantly shortening the fluorescence lifetime. Ordinary silica has a small specific surface area, weak bonding force with the rubber matrix, low internal density of the coating, low tensile strength, and substandard heat resistance and salt spray resistance. The loose coating structure cannot meet the long-term operating requirements of brake pads.
[0058] In Comparative Example 2, the PP-g-MAH chemical grafting process was not performed. The fluorescent mesoporous silica hybrid material was still a highly polar inorganic material, which had a huge difference in polarity from the non-polar functionalized polypropylene. This resulted in severe phase separation and filler agglomeration problems. There was no chemical bonding or molecular chain entanglement at the inorganic-organic interface, resulting in extremely poor bonding force, reduced tensile strength, and an inability to form a continuous and dense polypropylene protective layer. The phosphor was easily quenched and failed when directly exposed to a thermal environment. The coating cracked and powdered severely at high temperatures, and blistered and peeled off over a large area under salt spray conditions.
[0059] Comparative Example 3 only has PP-g-MAH surface grafting, without a complete functional polypropylene coating layer, which cannot effectively isolate oxygen and moisture, and lacks the synergistic protection of hindered phenolic structure. It has poor thermal stability, the coating protective layer is not dense, the tensile strength is low, and it softens and peels at high temperatures. It cannot adapt to the braking temperature rise conditions of brake pads. The coating structure is not complete enough, and long-term use is prone to coating peeling and rapid fluorescence decay.
[0060] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
