Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0050] In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in its actual use or operating state, specifically the orientation shown in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device. Furthermore, in the description of this application, the term "comprising" means "including but not limited to". The terms first, second, third, etc., are used merely as illustrative purposes and do not impose numerical requirements or establish a numerical order.
[0051] In this application, "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. A and B can be singular or plural.

[0053] Various embodiments of this application may exist in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a hard limitation on the scope of this application; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values within that range.

Furthermore, whenever a numerical range is referred to herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the referred range.
[0054] Existing foaming systems have at least the following problems: 1. Regarding the foaming agent system, cyclopentane single system has high density and is easily deformed at low temperature, butane has poor solubility and is easy to escape, binary compound system is difficult to balance low thermal conductivity and high flow performance at the same time, some ternary compound schemes introduce HFO foaming agents, but the dosage is too high, which leads to increased costs. 2. In terms of the balance between curing and strength, the direct addition of traditional catalysts can easily lead to reaction failure during storage, and single isocyanate modification cannot achieve both rapid demolding and high foam strength. 3. In terms of process adaptability, atmospheric pressure foaming has insufficient fluidity, and the entire negative pressure process is prone to foaming agent loss and cell rupture, which cannot meet the filling requirements of ultra-thin refrigerator cavity. 4. Performance coupling contradictions are prominent. It is difficult to coordinate and optimize low density and high strength, high flow and low thermal conductivity, and rapid demolding and dimensional stability. Existing technologies have not formed a systematic solution.
[0055] The technical solution of this application solves at least one of the above-mentioned problems.
[0056] The technical solution of this application is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a composition comprising a first component and a second component.
[0057] The first component includes a polyether, a foaming agent, and a microencapsulated catalyst. The microencapsulated catalyst includes a core and a shell covering the core. The core is made of amine catalysts and metal catalysts, and the shell is made of polymers.
[0058] The second component includes isocyanate.
[0059] It is understood that the first component is the white component for synthesizing polyurethane foam, and the second component is the black component for synthesizing polyurethane foam. The white and black components are mixed and reacted to form polyurethane foam.
[0060] The composition provided in this application includes a first component and a second component, which can be used to prepare polyurethane foam. The microencapsulated catalyst in the first component has a core-shell structure, with the core being a composite of an amine catalyst and a metal catalyst, and the shell being a polymer material. The core-shell structure can isolate the core from direct contact with the combined polyether and the blowing agent, and can rupture and release under specific mixing pressure to play a catalytic role, thus solving the contradiction of storage stability. The shell layer prevents the amine catalyst and the metal catalyst from reacting and becoming ineffective with the combined polyether and the blowing agent in a premature manner, extending the storage period of the raw materials. It can achieve "on-demand catalysis". During mixing, the shell layer is ruptured by a certain mechanical shear force to precisely release the amine catalyst and the metal catalyst, and control the milky white time and gel time. It can also improve process adaptability. The composite catalytic system of amine catalyst and metal catalyst can balance the foaming and curing rates. With a certain foaming process, the demolding time can be effectively shortened. The configuration of the composition can also optimize the foam performance. Through foaming preparation, polyurethane foam with environmental friendliness, low thermal conductivity, low density, high flowability, fast demolding and high strength can be obtained.
[0061] In some embodiments, the amine catalyst includes one or more of dimethylcyclohexylamine, triethylenediamine, and N,N-dimethylbenzylamine.
[0062] In some embodiments, the metal catalyst includes one or more of dibutyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate, and bismuth isooctanoate.
[0063] In some embodiments, the polymer includes one or more of polyurea, polyamide, and polyurethane.
[0064] For example, the microencapsulated catalyst comprises a core formed of dimethylcyclohexylamine and dibutyltin dilaurate, and a polyurea shell covering the core.
[0065] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the microencapsulated catalyst is 5 μm to 20 μm, for example, it can be 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm or any two of the above values.
[0066] Furthermore, the average particle size of the core is 3 μm to 16 μm, for example, it can be 3 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 16 μm, or any range between two of the above values. Within the range of the average particle size of the core, the amine catalyst and the metal catalyst can exert good catalytic function.
[0067] The average thickness of the shell layer is 1 μm to 2 μm, for example, it can be 1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.8 μm, 2 μm, or any two of the above values. Within the range of the average thickness of the shell layer, the storage stability of the microencapsulated catalyst can be ensured, and the shell layer can be ruptured under appropriate pressure during the preparation of polyurethane foam to expose the amine catalyst and the metal catalyst to exert their catalytic effect.
[0068] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the amine catalyst, the metal catalyst, and the polymer in the microencapsulated catalyst is (40-50):(10-20):(30-50), for example, 40:15:50, 42:12:45, 45:10:40, 48:18:35, 50:20:30, or any range between two of the above ratios. Within this mass ratio range, it is beneficial for the amine catalyst and the metal catalyst to work synergistically to improve the catalytic effect, and for the polymer to be effectively encapsulated and protected.
[0069] In some embodiments, the functionality of the polyether composition is 2.5 to 3, for example, it can be 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, or any range between two of the above values. It should be noted that the higher the functionality of the polyether composition, the higher its hydroxyl content, which means that the polyether composition has better reactivity and processability.
[0070] In some embodiments, the combined polyether comprises one or more of polyether polyols, polyester polyols, and aromatic polyether polyols.
[0071] For example, in one specific embodiment, the combined polyether comprises, by weight, 60-70 parts of polyether polyol, 20-30 parts of polyester polyol, and 5-10 parts of aromatic polyether polyol.
[0072] In some embodiments, the blowing agent includes cyclopentane (CP), isobutane (i-C4), and 2-methylpentane (2-MP). This application employs a ternary compound blowing agent, overcoming the limitations of traditional binary compound agents. The branched structure of 2-methylpentane reduces the viscosity of the foaming system, improves fluidity, synergistically reduces cell density with isobutane, and synergistically reduces thermal conductivity and improves environmental friendliness with cyclopentane.
[0073] In some embodiments, the foaming agent further includes an auxiliary nucleating agent. The auxiliary nucleating agent is beneficial for further promoting the foaming and nucleation of the composition, thereby improving the nucleation quality.
[0074] Furthermore, the auxiliary nucleating agent includes HFO-1233zd.
[0075] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the cyclopentane, isobutane, 2-methylpentane, and the auxiliary nucleating agent in the foaming agent is (60~80):(15~25):(3~8):(0.5~2), for example, 60:20:5:2, 65:18:6:1.2, 70:15:8:1, 75:22:3:0.8, 80:25:4:0.5, or any range between two of the above ratios. Within this mass ratio range, it is beneficial for the foaming agent to achieve high-quality foaming.
[0076] In some embodiments, the first component further includes a nano-reinforcing agent.
[0077] In some embodiments, the surface hydroxyl content of the nano-reinforcing agent is less than or equal to 0.3 wt%, for example, it can be 0.3 wt%, 0.2 wt%, 0.1 wt%, or lower. Within the range of the surface hydroxyl content of the nano-reinforcing agent, the nano-reinforcing agent exhibits good compatibility with polyurethane foam. It should be noted that the surface hydroxyl content of the nano-reinforcing agent refers to the mass of hydroxyl groups divided by the mass of the nano-reinforcing agent.
[0078] In some embodiments, the nano-reinforcing agent comprises silane coupling agent-modified nanomaterials.
[0079] Furthermore, the silane coupling agent includes one or more of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550), γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-560), and γ-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-570).
[0080] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the nanomaterial is 50 nm to 100 nm, for example, it can be 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, 100 nm, or any range between two of the above values. Within the range of the average particle size of the nanomaterial, the nanomaterial has good processability, can fill defects in the cell walls of polyurethane foam, and improve the strength and dimensional stability of polyurethane foam.
[0081] In some embodiments, the nanomaterial includes one or more of calcium carbonate, talc, and silicon dioxide.
[0082] The silane coupling agent modified nanomaterial can fill tiny defects in the foam cell walls, reduce pores and stress concentration, improve foam compression strength, reduce foam low-temperature deformation rate, enhance the structural stability of the ultra-thin refrigerator body, prevent body deformation in low-temperature environments, refine the foam cell structure, help improve the foam closed-cell rate, further reduce the thermal conductivity, and help meet the new energy efficiency standards.
[0083] In some embodiments, the first component further includes silicone oil.
[0084] In some embodiments, the HLB value of the silicone oil is 4 to 6, for example, it can be 4, 4.5, 5, 5, 6, or any range between two of the above values. It should be noted that the HLB value represents the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, which is a physicochemical parameter characterizing the relative strength of the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of the silicone oil.
[0085] In some embodiments, the surface tension of the silicone oil is 20mN / m to 25mN / m, for example, it can be 20mN / m, 21mN / m, 22mN / m, 23mN / m, 24mN / m, 25mN / m or any range between two of the above values.
[0086] Thus, under the aforementioned conditions, the silicone oil has high fluidity, which can promote the flow of foam and ensure uniform foam dispersion.
[0087] Furthermore, the silicone oil includes one or more of polyether-modified silicone oil and fluorine-modified silicone oil.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first component further includes water. It is understood that water is used as a solvent.
[0089] In some embodiments, the first component, by mass parts, comprises: The composition includes 100 parts of polyether, 8-15 parts of foaming agent, 0.8-1.5 parts of microencapsulated catalyst, 1-3 parts of nano-reinforcing agent, 1.2-1.8 parts of silicone oil, and 0.6-1 parts of water.
[0090] Thus, within the range of mass fractions of each raw material in the first component, it is beneficial for the components to work together to improve the stability of the first component and the quality of nucleation and foaming of the first and second components.
[0091] In some embodiments, the NCO content of the isocyanate is 28% to 32%, for example, it can be 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, or any range between two of the above values. It should be noted that the NCO content of the isocyanate refers to the mass percentage of isocyanate (-NCO) groups contained in 100g of isocyanate.
[0092] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the isocyanate is 180 mPa·s to 220 mPa·s, for example, it can be 180 mPa·s, 185 mPa·s, 190 mPa·s, 195 mPa·s, 200 mPa·s, 210 mPa·s, 220 mPa·s, or a range between any two of the above values. It should be noted that the viscosity in this application represents the force required to move two fluid layers 1 meter apart relative to each other at a speed of 1 meter per second at 25°C.
[0093] Under the above conditions, isocyanates exhibit suitable properties and are suitable for preparing polyurethane foams.
[0094] In some embodiments, the isocyanate comprises a polycarbonate polyol-modified isocyanate. After modification with polycarbonate polyol, the isocyanate exhibits better compatibility with the first component.
[0095] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the combined polyether to the isocyanate is 100:(130~150), for example, it can be 100:130, 100:135, 100:140, 100:145, 100:150, or any range between two of the above ratios. Within the range of the above mass ratio, it is beneficial for the combined polyether and the isocyanate to co-foam in the preparation of polyurethane foam, thereby increasing the yield and avoiding waste of raw materials.
[0096] Secondly, please refer to Figure 1 This application also provides a method for preparing a composite foamed material, comprising the following steps: Step S11: Provide the first component and the second component; Step S12: Perform foaming treatment on the first component and the second component to obtain a composite foam material.
[0097] The first component includes a polyether, a foaming agent, and a microencapsulated catalyst. The microencapsulated catalyst includes a core and a shell covering the core. The core is made of amine catalysts and metal catalysts, and the shell is made of polymers. The second component includes isocyanate.
[0098] It should be noted that the first and second components can refer to the composition in the first aspect above, and will not be repeated here.
[0099] In some embodiments, the storage temperature of the first component is 28°C to 32°C, for example, it can be 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, 31°C, 32°C or any two of the above values.
[0100] The storage temperature of the second component is 8℃~12℃, for example, it can be 8℃, 9℃, 10℃, 11℃, 12℃ or any two of the above values.
[0101] It should be noted that the preparation method of the first component and the second component involves mixing the raw materials and storing them at a certain temperature. A dynamic temperature-controlled storage process is selected based on the composition of the first component and the second component to improve the storage stability of the first component and the second component.
[0102] It should also be noted that the microencapsulated catalyst can be prepared by interfacial polymerization. Specifically, an amine catalyst and a metal catalyst are first mixed uniformly in a certain proportion to obtain a composite catalyst, and then polymer monomers are polymerized on the surface of the composite catalyst droplets to form a shell.
[0103] In some embodiments, before mixing the first component and the second component, the method further includes: preheating the first component to a first temperature and preheating the second component to a second temperature.
[0104] In some embodiments, the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is 18°C to 23°C, for example, it can be 18°C, 19°C, 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C or any two of the above values.
[0105] Furthermore, the first temperature is 35℃~40℃, for example, it can be 35℃, 36℃, 37℃, 38℃, 39℃, 40℃ or any range between two of the above values.
[0106] The second temperature is 15℃~20℃, for example, it can be 15℃, 16℃, 17℃, 18℃, 19℃, 20℃ or any range between two of the above values.
[0107] Preheating the first and second components before mixing helps improve their activity and facilitates preparation for foaming. Maintaining a certain temperature difference can prevent poor compatibility of the components after mixing and the easy volatilization and escape of some components.
[0108] In some embodiments, the foaming process includes a foam injection stage, a filling stage, and a curing stage performed sequentially within the mold. It can be understood that the foam injection stage is the process of injecting the first component and the second component together into the foaming mold and mixing them; the filling stage is the process of the first component and the second component flowing and filling the foaming mold to form the mold shape; the curing stage is the process of the flowing raw materials solidifying after filling; and finally, demolding yields a polyurethane foam composite foam material.
[0109] In some embodiments, the foaming stage includes: injecting the first component and the second component, and mixing the first component and the second component.
[0110] Furthermore, the pressure at which the first component and the second component are injected is atmospheric pressure, for example, 101 kPa to 103 kPa.
[0111] The pressure for mixing the first component and the second component is 10MPa to 15MPa, for example, it can be 10MPa, 11MPa, 12MPa, 13MPa, 14MPa, 15MPa or any range between two of the above values; the time for mixing the first component and the second component is 8s to 12s, for example, it can be 8s, 9s, 10s, 11s, 12s or any range between two of the above values.
[0112] Under the conditions described above during the foaming stage, it is beneficial for the first component and the second component to be fully and evenly mixed.
[0113] It should be noted that after mixing the first and second components at a relatively high pressure, the pressure needs to be reduced to atmospheric pressure before the filling stage can proceed.
[0114] In some embodiments, the filling stage includes: reducing the pressure to a first pressure during a first time period, reducing the pressure to a second pressure during a second time period, and maintaining the pressure for a third time period.
[0115] Furthermore, the first time period is 1s to 3s, for example, it can be 1s, 2s, 3s or any range between the two values mentioned above.
[0116] The first pressure is 82 kPa to 88 kPa, for example, it can be 82 kPa, 83 kPa, 84 kPa, 85 kPa, 86 kPa, 87 kPa, 88 kPa or any range between two of the above values.
[0117] The second time period is 4s to 6s, for example, it can be 4s, 5s, 6s or any range between the two values mentioned above.
[0118] The second pressure is 65 kPa to 70 kPa, for example, it can be 65 kPa, 66 kPa, 67 kPa, 68 kPa, 69 kPa, 70 kPa or any two of the above values.
[0119] The third time period is 10s to 15s, for example, it can be 11s, 12s, 13s, 14s, 15s or any range between two of the above values.
[0120] Thus, under the conditions of the filling stage described above, pressure control using gradient negative pressure can avoid instantaneous loss of foaming agent and cell rupture, thereby improving foaming quality.
[0121] In some embodiments, the curing stage includes: holding at a third pressure for a fourth time period, and holding at a fourth pressure for a fifth time period.
[0122] Furthermore, the third pressure is the same as the second pressure. Specifically, the third pressure is 65 kPa to 70 kPa, for example, it can be 65 kPa, 66 kPa, 67 kPa, 68 kPa, 69 kPa, 70 kPa, or any range between two of the above values.
[0123] The fourth time period is 30s to 40s, for example, it can be 30s, 32s, 35s, 38s, 40s or any range between two of the above values.
[0124] The fourth pressure is atmospheric pressure, for example, it can be 101kPa~103kPa.
[0125] The fifth time period is 2.5 min to 3 min, for example, it can be 2.5 min, 2.6 min, 2.7 min, 2.8 min, 2.9 min, 3 min or any range between two of the above values.
[0126] Thus, under the conditions of the aforementioned curing stage, the foaming quality can be improved.
[0127] In some embodiments, the temperature of the cavity wall of the mold is greater than the temperature of the middle portion of the mold. It should be noted that the middle portion of the mold refers to the part in the center of the mold that is far from the cavity wall.
[0128] Specifically, the temperature of the cavity wall of the mold is 28℃~30℃, for example, it can be 28℃, 28.5℃, 29℃, 29.5℃, 30℃, or any two of the above values; the temperature of the middle part of the mold is 22℃~25℃, for example, it can be 22℃, 22.5℃, 23℃, 23.5℃, 24℃, 24.5℃, 25℃, or any two of the above values. By controlling the temperature of the cavity wall and the middle part, the foam can be guided to flow from the cavity wall to the middle part, solving the problem of narrow cavity and filling difficulty in ultra-thin refrigerators, while refining the cell structure.
[0129] The method for preparing the composite foamed material disclosed in this application employs a synergistic modification of a microencapsulated composite catalyst and a nano-reinforcing agent. Microencapsulation technology enables "on-demand catalysis," shortening demolding time. The nano-reinforcing agent fills cell defects, improving strength and low-temperature stability, thus resolving the contradiction between rapid demolding and high strength and dimensional stability. A ternary synergistic foaming system is used, where the branched structure of 2-methylpentane reduces system viscosity, synergistically reducing density with isobutane, and HFO-1233zd refines the cell structure. Dynamic temperature control and partial storage address the compatibility issues of the ternary components, achieving a synergistic effect of low thermal conductivity, low density, and high flowability. A gradient negative pressure-mold temperature control coupling process is employed. Gradient negative pressure avoids instantaneous loss of the foaming agent, while zoned mold temperature control guides foam flow, solving the problems of narrow cavities and filling difficulties in ultra-thin refrigerators, further refining the cell structure and reducing thermal conductivity. The resulting composite foamed material can meet the refrigerator industry's transformation needs for "new energy efficiency, thinness, low cost, and high efficiency."
[0130] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a composite foaming material, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0131] The composite foaming material provided in this application embodiment can meet the requirements of environmental protection and low thermal conductivity, satisfying the requirements of the new energy efficiency standards; achieve a balance between low density and high strength, avoiding insufficient structural support for ultra-thin refrigerator cabinets; high fluidity adapts to thinness, ensuring that the complex cavities of ultra-thin refrigerators are filled without dead corners, avoiding local voids; and rapid demolding improves efficiency, reduces production cycle time, and increases production capacity; in addition, there is no need to modify existing production equipment, reducing raw material costs and taking into account both industrial feasibility and economy.
[0132] Fourthly, embodiments of this application also provide a refrigerator, which includes a cabinet, and the interlayer of the cabinet is provided with the above-mentioned composite foam material, or the composite foam material prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.
[0133] In addition to refrigerator insulation, the composite foam material provided in this application embodiment can also be widely used in cold chain equipment such as cold chain containers and refrigerated trucks, and has broad market application prospects.

[0146] The foam density, thermal conductivity, compressive strength, flow distance, low-temperature deformation rate, and closed-cell rate of the composite foamed materials in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0153] Table 1
[0154] From Table 1, we can obtain: The foam densities of Examples 1-5 are all ≤31kg / m³, which is 5-7kg / m³ lower than the comparative example, demonstrating the low-density advantage of the ternary foaming system. The thermal conductivity of Examples 1-5 is all ≤18.8mW / (m·K), meeting the new energy efficiency standards, which is 1.4-3.3mW / (m·K) lower than the comparative example. This is attributed to the nucleation effect of HFO-1233zd and the refinement of the foam cells by gradient negative pressure. The flow distance of Examples 1-5 is all ≥358mm, which is 25-82mm higher than the comparative example, meeting the filling requirements of ultra-thin refrigerators (cavity width ≤35mm). The core reason is the guiding effect of 2-methylpentane in reducing the viscosity of the system and the temperature control of the partitioned mold. The demolding time of Examples 1-5 is all ≤3.5min, which is 1.7-2.5min shorter than the comparative example, and the production efficiency is increased by more than 40%. This is due to the "on-demand catalysis" of the microencapsulated composite catalyst and the accelerated curing by gradient negative pressure.
[0155] The method for preparing composite foamed materials provided in this application solves the compatibility problem of ternary components: the compatibility of 2-methylpentane with cyclopentane and isobutane is precisely controlled, and the problem of easy escape of isobutane is solved by dynamic temperature-controlled storage; a balance between catalytic efficiency and storage stability is achieved: the thickness of the microcapsule shell and the rupture pressure need to be matched with the production process to avoid failure during storage or insufficient release during mixing; the quality of the foam is improved by optimizing the gradient negative pressure parameter to avoid foaming agent loss and foam rupture; and the multi-performance coupling synergy solves the contradiction between low density and high strength, high flow and low thermal conductivity, and achieves a balance through the integrated design of components and processes.
