Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, mainly to the field of polyurethane elastomer materials technology, and specifically to a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Polyurethane (PU), short for polyurethane, is a molecular structure containing repeating urethane segments (-NHCOO-) and urea bonds (-NHCONH-), composed of flexible soft segments and rigid hard segments (AB). n Linear block copolymers. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU), as one of the many forms of polyurethane materials, has an elastic modulus (E) between that of plastics and rubber. It has advantages such as low processing cost, good compression resistance, low density, good solvent resistance, and good aging resistance. It is widely used in automotive seals, industrial hoses, high-end cables, military engineering, and the electronics industry. It is one of the six synthetic materials with development potential.
[0003] However, while ordinary aliphatic TPUs possess advantages such as low yellowing and good weather resistance, achieving a balance between heat resistance, oil resistance, and mechanical properties is challenging. Most aliphatic TPUs can only maintain a long-term operating temperature of 80-100℃, and are prone to thermal degradation in environments above 120℃. Furthermore, they exhibit poor oil swelling resistance (easily experiencing volume expansion and decreased mechanical properties in oily media). Conventional aromatic TPUs, while offering slightly improved heat resistance, suffer from poor weather resistance and a tendency to yellow, failing to meet the comprehensive performance requirements of high-end applications. Simultaneously, existing TPUs are mostly prepared using a single chain extender. A single flexible chain extender leads to insufficient material strength and heat resistance, while a single rigid chain extender reduces toughness and makes the material brittle, further limiting TPU applications in high-end, high-temperature, and oil-resistant scenarios. Therefore, it is essential to implement corresponding modification measures in molecular structure design, raw material selection, and preparation processes to achieve a synergistic improvement in heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical properties, thereby expanding the application range of TPUs and extending their service life.
[0004] Chinese invention patent application CN202010912712.6 discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer with excellent heat resistance and its preparation method. This thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, prepared from polyester polyol, diisocyanate, and diol chain extender, exhibits strong aging resistance and a high softening temperature, but its oil resistance and toughness need improvement, and it fails to achieve a balance between rigidity and flexibility in its molecular chains. Chinese invention patent application CN201510433964.X discloses an oil-resistant and low-temperature-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer film and its preparation method. While the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer prepared by this invention shows significantly improved oil resistance compared to conventional TPU and excellent low-temperature toughness, it is prone to thermo-oxidative aging and insufficient thermal stability during long-term high-temperature use, making it difficult to meet the oil-resistant sealing requirements under high-temperature conditions.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a special thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material with excellent heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance and mechanical properties to meet the complex application environment of today, which will play a positive role in the large-scale application of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer materials. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of poor heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical property balance, and poor overall performance of existing thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer materials, and to propose a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material and its preparation method.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material, the raw materials of which include polydiol, diisocyanate, composite chain extender and catalyst; the R value (the ratio of the total molar number of isocyanate to hydroxyl and amino groups in the material) of the special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material is 1.00~1.05, and the content of hard segments is 30~50 wt%; The polydiol contains a cyclohexane ester ring structure and has a number average molecular weight of 1000-5000 g / mol; the diisocyanate is an aliphatic diisocyanate containing a benzene ring. The composite chain extender is a mixture of 1,3-bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)propane (BACP) and 2,5-diaminonorbornene (2,5-DAN) in an equimolar ratio (1:1).
[0008] This invention discloses a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material. It not only utilizes a polydiol containing a cyclohexane alicyclic structure to impart excellent hydrolysis resistance, oil resistance, and toughness to the polyurethane elastomer, enhancing the rigidity of the soft segment, but also leverages the sterically hindered aliphatic structure of a benzene-containing aliphatic diisocyanate to combine aromatic ring rigidity with aliphatic weather resistance, significantly improving the yellowing defect of polyurethane. Furthermore, the isocyanate group it contains has milder activity, ensuring a stable and controllable reaction. Simultaneously, it employs a composite chain extender composed of equimolar amounts of BACP and 2,5-DAN for chain extension treatment, thereby enabling the utilization of the propylene oxide in BACP... The alkyl flexible bridge improves the mobility of hard segment chains, and the bicyclic rigid structure in 2,5-DAN increases the rigidity of hard chains. It can also form a synergistic effect with the mildly active isocyanate group, achieving precise control of the rigid-flexible balance of hard segments, optimizing the crystal size of hard segments, and increasing the degree of microphase separation by generating dense urea bonds and hydrogen bonds. This significantly improves the mutual adverse effects between polydiol and diisocyanate, resulting in a significant improvement in the heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical property balance of the obtained thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. The comprehensive performance of the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer is significantly enhanced, making it suitable for large-scale application in complex environments.
[0009] The amounts of the polydiol, diisocyanate, and composite chain extender can all be calculated using the R value and the hard segment content, where R = n(NCO). 二异氰酸酯 / [n(OH) 聚二元醇 + n(OH) 扩链剂 Preferably, the amount of catalyst used is 0.01 to 0.03 wt% of the total amount of raw materials.
[0010] Preferably, the polydiol is one or more of 1,4-cyclohexanediethanol, 1,3-cyclohexanediethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol (1,4-CHD), cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid bis(hydroxyethyl) ester, and polysaccharide-1,4-cyclohexanediethanol diol (PSCH); most preferably, the polydiol is polysaccharide-1,4-cyclohexanediethanol diol (PSCH).
[0011] Preferably, the number-average molecular weight of the polydiol is 1500-2500 g / mol.
[0012] Preferably, the isocyanate (NCO) content in the diisocyanate is 32.0~33.5wt%; more preferably, it is 32.7±0.5wt%.
[0013] Preferably, the diisocyanate is m-phenylenedimethyl diisocyanate (m-XDI), hydrogenated m-phenylenedimethyl diisocyanate (H6XDI), or hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate (H6XDI).12 One or more of MDI, tetramethyl isophthalimide diisocyanate (TMXDI); most preferably, the diisocyanate is tetramethyl isophthalimide diisocyanate (TMXDI).
[0014] Preferably, the catalyst is one or more of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) and organic bismuth catalyst; most preferably, it is dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL).
[0015] Preferably, the R value (the ratio of the total molar number of isocyanates to hydroxyl and amino groups in the material) of the special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material is 1.02.
[0016] Preferably, the hard segment content of the special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material is 40%.
[0017] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention further provides a method for preparing a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material, comprising the following steps: (1) Prepolymerization reaction: The polydiol is mixed with a portion of the composite chain extender and dehydrated for 1.5-2.5 h at 100-110℃ and vacuum degree ≤-0.095MPa. Then, the temperature is lowered to 65-75℃, the catalyst and diisocyanate are added, and the mixture is stirred evenly. The prepolymerization reaction is carried out for 30-50 min to obtain the end-capped prepolymer. (2) Chain extension reaction: Cool the end-capped prepolymer to 55-65℃, add the remaining composite chain extender, stir and react for 5-10 minutes until the viscosity of the system increases, and obtain the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer semi-finished product; (3) Molding and curing: The material will be molded and cured at 95-120℃ to obtain a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material product.
[0018] This invention discloses a method for preparing a special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material. The method employs a semi-prepolymer stepwise chain extender process, achieving effective control over the polymerization reaction of the polyurethane elastomer by precisely controlling the timing and amount of the composite chain extender. This weakens the adverse interactions between the polydiol and diisocyanate, resulting in a polyurethane elastomer with better rigidity-flexibility balance, and higher uniformity in heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, the preparation method offers good controllability, mild reaction conditions, and simple steps, making it suitable for large-scale production of special aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer materials.
[0019] In step (1), preferably, the R value (ratio of the total molar number of isocyanate to hydroxyl and amino groups) of the end-capped prepolymer is 1.6 to 2.0; more preferably, the R value of the end-capped prepolymer is 1.8. By adjusting the R value of the end-capped prepolymer, the viscosity of the prepolymer can be reduced, and excessive chain growth and gelation in the prepolymerization stage can be avoided, thereby affecting the product performance.
[0020] In step (1), the specific amount of the composite chain extender added is calculated from the R value of the end-capped prepolymer.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material of the present invention utilizes the cyclohexane alicyclic structure in polydiol to endow polyurethane elastomer with excellent hydrolysis resistance, oil resistance and toughness, and improve the rigidity of the soft segment; it utilizes the sterically hindered aliphatic structure of aliphatic diisocyanate containing benzene ring to combine the rigidity of aromatic ring and the weather resistance of aliphatic, effectively improving the defect of polyurethane's easy yellowing, and the isocyanate contained therein has a milder activity, which also ensures the stability and controllability of the reaction.
[0022] 2. The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material of the present invention uses a composite chain extender composed of BACP and 2,5-DAN in equal molar amounts for chain extension treatment. The propane flexible bridge in BACP improves the mobility of hard chain segments and the double-ring rigid structure in 2,5-DAN increases the rigidity of hard chains.
[0023] 3. The composite chain extender in the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material of the present invention can form a synergistic effect with the mildly active isocyanate group, thereby achieving precise control of the rigid-flexible balance of the hard segment, optimizing the crystal size of the hard segment, and increasing the degree of microphase separation by generating dense urea bonds and hydrogen bonds, thus significantly improving the mutual adverse effects between polydiol and diisocyanate.
[0024] 4. The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material of this invention has significantly improved the balance of heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance and mechanical properties. The comprehensive performance of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer has been significantly enhanced, making it suitable for large-scale application in more complex environments.
[0025] 5. The method for preparing thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer material of the present invention achieves effective control over the polymerization reaction of polyurethane elastomer, weakens the adverse effects between polydiol and diisocyanate, thereby making the prepared polyurethane elastomer have better rigidity-flexibility balance, and higher balance of heat resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance and mechanical properties.
