Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of composite materials technology, specifically to a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, inorganic nano-UV shielding agents have gradually become core materials to replace organic absorbers due to their excellent UV shielding performance, high thermal stability, and chemical stability. Among them, nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are the most widely used. However, these conventional inorganic fillers have obvious shortcomings: First, the UV shielding band is narrow, and the shielding effect on long-wave UVA is limited, making it difficult to achieve efficient protection across the entire wavelength range. Second, they have strong photocatalytic activity, which can generate a large number of photogenerated carriers under UV irradiation, catalyzing the oxidative degradation of the surrounding polymer substrate, leading to fabric embrittlement and coating cracking. Third, the high surface energy of nanoparticles makes them prone to agglomeration in aqueous polymer systems, forming local agglomeration points, further aggravating local degradation of the substrate, and affecting the fabric feel and coating uniformity. Nano-cerium oxide (CeO2), as a novel rare-earth-based inorganic UV shielding material, has advantages due to its unique fluorite crystal structure and CeO2 content. 3+ / Ce 4+ Its reversible redox properties exhibit broad-spectrum UV absorption performance far exceeding that of traditional TiO2 and ZnO, simultaneously covering the entire UVA and UVB bands, and possessing high visible light transmittance without causing whitening of fabrics or coatings, making it a promising candidate for UV shielding. However, its strong catalytic oxidation activity easily leads to oxidative degradation of the polymer matrix, limiting its application in polymer composites. To address the issue of excessively high catalytic oxidation activity of nano-CeO2, existing technologies employ in-situ encapsulation of CeO2 with silane coupling agents for passivation, physically isolating active sites. Chinese invention patent CN101857713B discloses a water-dispersible polyester composite material with UV shielding function and its application. This invention addresses the high oxidizing power and easy agglomeration of nano-cerium dioxide by modifying nano-cerium dioxide with a silane coupling agent and then adding a composite antioxidant, achieving excellent UV shielding performance.

[0003] However, nano-cerium dioxide has strong oxidizing and catalytic properties, and the effect of adding antioxidants is poor. Furthermore, the addition of antioxidants can easily affect the properties of the polymer matrix. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the oxidizing properties of nano-cerium dioxide and manufacture high-performance UV-shielding composite materials has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the primary objective of this application is to provide a CeO2 polyurethane composition with UV shielding function and its preparation method. This application utilizes a sol-gel method to grow a SiO2 passivation layer in situ on the surface of nano-CeO2, effectively isolating the catalytic degradation of the polyurethane matrix material by nano-CeO2 and extending the service life of the coating composition. Then, by loading CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles onto GO (hydroxylated graphene oxide) sheets, the GO sheets act as a dispersion carrier, effectively dispersing the CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles within the matrix. Furthermore, the sheet-like barrier effect of GO further inhibits the migration of photogenerated carriers from CeO2, weakening its oxidative catalytic performance. While ensuring excellent UV shielding performance of the coating, the strong catalytic oxidation of CeO2 is effectively suppressed, extending the coating's service life.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function, the composition comprising an ultraviolet shielding filler, an aqueous polyurethane emulsion and a crosslinking agent; the ultraviolet shielding filler is obtained by generating a SiO2 passivation layer in situ on the surface of nano-CeO2 to obtain CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles, and then uniformly loading the CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles onto the surface of GO sheets.

[0007] Preferably, the solid content of the aqueous polyurethane emulsion is 30-40%.

[0008] It should be noted that the CeO2 polyurethane composition prepared in this application can be applied to the UV protection treatment of fabrics. Using a polyurethane emulsion with a solid content of 30%-40% can ensure that the roll-up rate is stable at 70-75% during the treatment process, so that the coating will not be too thin due to being too thin, nor will the fabric be stiff due to being too thick.

[0009] Preferably, the crosslinking agent is any one of SAC-100, RP-1, Y-2016 and Y-301.

[0010] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1, mix nano CeO2, anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, stir and sonicate, adjust the pH to 4-5, add diluted silane coupling agent dropwise, and react to obtain CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles;

[0012] S2, CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles were prepared into a dispersion, GO dispersion was added, stirred and sonicated, and reacted at a constant temperature to obtain the ultraviolet shielding filler;

[0013] S3, UV-shielding filler is added to polyurethane emulsion, stirred and impregnated, dispersed at high speed, ultrasonically treated, crosslinking agent is added, and stirred and mixed to obtain a CeO2 polyurethane composition with UV shielding function.

[0014] Preferably, the specific process of S1 is as follows: nano CeO2, anhydrous ethanol and deionized water are mixed and stirred at 300-400 rpm at room temperature for 15-20 min, followed by ultrasonication at 150-200W power for 20-30 min, adjusting the pH to 4-5, and then diluted silane coupling agent is added dropwise while maintaining a stirring rate of 350-400 rpm throughout the process, completing the addition within 30 min. Then, the reaction is carried out at 55-65℃ and a stirring rate of 550-650 rpm for 3.5-4.5 h. After centrifugation, washing and drying, CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles are obtained; the particle size of the nano CeO2 is 50-80 nm.

[0015] It should be noted that at a constant temperature of 55-65℃, the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of KH-570 can be accelerated, promoting the condensation of silanol groups and CeO2 surface hydroxyl groups to form a dense and uniform SiO2 coating layer. During the stirring process, the system homogeneity can be ensured, avoiding the agglomeration of CeO2 particles, while promoting the full reaction. This ensures that KH-570 is completely hydrolyzed to form a complete SiO2 coating layer.

[0016] Preferably, the silane coupling agent diluted in S1 is obtained by diluting KH-570 in anhydrous ethanol at a mass ratio of (1-1.3):40.

[0017] It should be noted that diluting KH-570 with anhydrous ethanol can reduce its concentration and avoid excessively high local concentrations after addition, which could lead to rapid hydrolysis, aggregation of silanol groups, and the formation of an uneven coating layer. Adding KH-570 at a dropping rate of 1 drop / second can ensure that KH-570 is evenly dispersed in the system and comes into full contact with CeO2 particles, achieving uniform coating.

[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of nano CeO2, anhydrous ethanol, deionized water and silane coupling agent is (4.5-5.5):(150-160):(45-55):(39-42).

[0019] Preferably, the specific process of S2 is as follows: CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water are mixed and stirred at 400-500 rpm for 10-15 min to prepare a dispersion. GO dispersion is added, and the mixture is stirred at 350-400 rpm at room temperature for 20-25 min, followed by ultrasonication at 180-200W power for 50-60 min while maintaining stirring at 300 rpm. Then, the mixture is stirred at 500-550 rpm at 55-65℃ for 4-4.5 h. After centrifugation, washing, and drying, the UV-shielding filler is obtained. The GO dispersion is obtained by adding GO powder to deionized water and then ultrasonicating. The mass ratio of GO powder to deionized water is (1-3):1000. The hydroxyl content of the GO powder is 3-4 wt.%.

[0020] It should be noted that in this step, controlling the mass ratio of CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles to GO to be 20:1 ensures that the GO sheets can be fully loaded with CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles, avoiding insufficient or excessive GO addition that could lead to sheet stacking. During the addition of the GO dispersion, the addition rate needs to be controlled to avoid uneven GO dispersion caused by excessively rapid addition. After initial loading of the CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles onto the GO sheets through stirring and sonication, the reaction continues at a constant temperature of 55-65℃. This promotes the formation and stabilization of hydrogen bonds between the CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles and the GO sheets, enhancing the binding force and preventing the CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles from detaching from the GO sheets.

[0021] Preferably, the mass ratio of CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles, anhydrous ethanol, deionized water and GO dispersion in S2 is (4.5-5.5):78.9:50:(225-275).

[0022] Preferably, the specific process of S3 is as follows: the ultraviolet shielding filler is added to the polyurethane emulsion, stirred at 450-550 rpm at room temperature for 10-15 min, then dispersed at 5000-6000 rpm for 15-20 min, then ultrasonically treated at 180-200W power for 15-20 min, and allowed to stand for 72 h. If no precipitation occurs, a crosslinking agent is added, and the mixture is stirred at 200-300 rpm for 10-15 min. The viscosity of the emulsion is adjusted to 200-300 mPa·s at room temperature to obtain a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function. The mass ratio of the ultraviolet shielding filler, polyurethane emulsion and crosslinking agent is (5-8):(90-95):(1-2).

[0023] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0024] This application utilizes the hydrolysis reaction of a silane coupling agent to generate a SiO2 passivation film in situ on the surface of nano-CeO2, thereby neutralizing the CeO2 surface layer. 3+ / Ce 4+ The active sites are completely sealed, preventing photogenerated charge carriers from escaping from the CeO2 surface and avoiding contact with the polyurethane molecular chains, thereby inhibiting the photocatalytic oxidation performance of CeO2. Simultaneously, the SiO2 coating layer undergoes a condensation reaction with the hydroxyl groups on the CeO2 surface, forming stable Si-O-Ce chemical bonds. This not only improves the density and adhesion of the coating layer but also stabilizes oxygen vacancy defects on the CeO2 surface, reducing the generation of photogenerated charge carriers and further decreasing its oxidation catalytic activity. Furthermore, loading CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles onto GO sheets utilizes the excellent conductivity of the GO sheets to capture the small number of photogenerated charge carriers escaping from CeO2, further preventing their migration to the polyurethane matrix, thus weakening the photocatalytic oxidation performance of CeO2. Ultimately, this improves the mechanical properties and weather resistance of the coating composition and extends the coating's service life. Attached Figure Description

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function and its preparation method:

[0045] 1. Nano-CeO2 particles (65 nm in diameter), anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water were mixed and stirred at 400 rpm at room temperature for 20 min, followed by sonication at 200 W for 30 min.

[0053] Comparative Example 1

[0054] This comparative example provides a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function and its preparation method. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that a SiO2 passivation film is not coated on the CeO2 surface. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0055] Comparative Example 2

[0056] This comparative example provides a CeO2 polyurethane composition with ultraviolet shielding function and its preparation method. Compared with Example 1, the difference is that CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles are not loaded onto GO sheets, but CeO2@SiO2 core-shell structured particles are directly used as ultraviolet shielding fillers. The remaining steps are the same as in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] To demonstrate the advantages of this application, UV shielding performance and anti-aging performance tests were conducted on Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2.

[0058] Test sample preparation: The CeO2 polyurethane compositions with UV shielding function prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were coated onto the substrate, cooled, and then peeled off to obtain the test samples.

[0059] The testing method is as follows:

[0060] Ultraviolet (UV) shielding performance test: The samples were placed in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer for testing. The test wavelength range was 200-800 nm, with a wavelength interval of 10 nm. The transmittance T(λ) of the spectrum at each wavelength was obtained. Based on the spectral transmittance of the 280-400 nm UV band, the average UV transmittance of this band was calculated. The UV shielding efficiency SR(%) was calculated for each group of samples according to the formula: UV shielding efficiency SR(%) = 100% - average UV transmittance. The transmittance curve of the full-band spectrum of Example 1 is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0061] Anti-aging performance test: The sample was placed in a xenon lamp aging test chamber with a xenon lamp irradiation intensity of 1000W / m. 2The samples were continuously irradiated at 40℃ and 50% humidity for 1000 hours, and the morphological changes were observed. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Table 1. Test results of UV shielding efficiency and anti-aging performance of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0063]

[0064] As shown in Table 1, Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 all exhibit excellent UV shielding performance. This is because CeO2 in the polyurethane composition has good UV absorption capacity, effectively absorbing and shielding most UV rays. Therefore, this also proves that the polyurethane composition prepared in this application has excellent UV shielding performance. However, in terms of anti-aging performance, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are significantly weaker than Examples 1-4. This is because Comparative Example 1 did not have a SiO2 passivation film during preparation, which led to the oxidative decomposition of the polyurethane matrix by CeO2 under photocatalysis, reducing the service life of the polyurethane matrix and causing premature yellowing and cracking of the coating. Comparative Example 2 did not have a GO sheet loaded, resulting in yellowing of the sample. This may be because a small number of photogenerated carriers escaped from the gaps in the SiO2 passivation film, and the lack of the GO sheet's capture effect on the escaped carriers led to the oxidation of the polyurethane matrix, resulting in yellowing. In summary, the CeO2 polyurethane composition prepared according to this application has excellent UV shielding and anti-aging properties, and can be applied to fields such as UV-resistant outdoor coatings and UV-resistant textile finishing agents.

[0065] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this application.
