Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surfactant technology, specifically to a low interfacial tension surfactant, its preparation method, and its application in antifreeze glass water. Background Technology

[0002] Antifreeze windshield washer fluid, as a functional liquid in automotive washing systems, is primarily used to remove dust, oil, and rain / snow residue from the windshield surface in low-temperature environments. It is required to possess good antifreeze properties, wetting and spreading properties, and a certain degree of water and stain resistance. Current antifreeze windshield washer fluids typically consist of alcohol or glycol-based antifreeze agents, deionized water, conventional surfactants, and a small amount of functional additives. Surfactants play a crucial role in reducing surface tension and improving wetting and cleaning abilities. Commonly used surfactants are mostly anionic, nonionic, or amphoteric surfactants, such as fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers, alkylbenzene sulfonates, and alcohol ethers. Although the above-mentioned traditional surfactants have certain detergency, they still have the following shortcomings: (1) They have limited ability to reduce interfacial tension, making it difficult to form a rapidly spreading ultrathin liquid film on the glass surface, which affects the cleaning efficiency; (2) Their solubility and stability decrease under low temperature conditions, and precipitation or wetting performance decay is likely to occur; (3) They are difficult to form a durable hydrophobic molecular layer on the glass surface, and the waterproof effect is short-lived after rain; (4) The adsorption orientation ability of linear molecules with single structure at the gas-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces is limited, and the interface arrangement is not dense and stable enough. In recent years, surfactants with siloxane structures have attracted attention due to their high main chain flexibility and low surface energy; fluorinated surfactants have shown excellent interfacial activity due to the extremely low surface energy of perfluoroalkyl groups. However, traditional linear siloxanes or single fluorinated surfactants often have problems such as insufficient water solubility, limited environmental adaptability or poor interfacial stability, making it difficult to meet multiple performance requirements such as low interfacial tension, low temperature stability and interfacial durability.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN112044353A discloses a novel Gemini surfactant and its preparation method, as well as a novel comb-type surfactant and its preparation method. This invention uses vinylsilane as the main component and introduces polyether segments into its side groups to obtain a novel Gemini surfactant, which can improve the surface activity of the solution, reduce surface tension, and enhance the spreadability of the solution at different phase interfaces. Furthermore, by controlling the content of each group in the polyether, products with different HLB values ​​(hydrophilic-lipophilic balance values) can be synthesized; and by using a catalyst and a hydrosilylation reaction, the novel Gemini surfactant can be linked to a side-containing hydrogen silicone oil to obtain a novel comb-type surfactant with a comb-like structure, thereby improving the surface activity of the solution, reducing surface tension, and enhancing the spreadability of the solution at different phase interfaces. However, its stability at low temperatures remains insufficient.

[0004] Therefore, developing a low-interfacial-tension surfactant that can be stably dispersed in low-temperature systems and form a stable oriented molecular layer on the glass surface is of great significance for improving the wetting and spreading efficiency and low-temperature adaptability of antifreeze glass fluid.

[0014] In step S4, the molar ratio of intermediate 1 to intermediate 3 is 1:(3.05-3.08).

[0017] The reaction solvent in step S3 is isopropanol, and the reaction solvent in step S4 is anhydrous ethanol.

[0018] Application of a low interfacial tension surfactant in antifreeze glass fluid.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: The surfactant prepared by this invention has a three-armed spatial structure with cyclotrisiloxane as the core. Each arm contains a thioether bond, a secondary amine, a hydroxyl group and a quaternary ammonium salt. The quaternary ammonium salt is connected to a flexible ether chain and a difluorocarbon chain. The synergistic effect of the various structures significantly reduces its surface tension and improves its wetting performance and stability at low temperature. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The surface tension, low-temperature stability, and wetting properties of the surfactants prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0034] Surface tension test: The surfactants prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were prepared into 0.1 wt% aqueous solutions of surfactants. The surface tension at 25°C was determined by the plate method in standard GB / T 22237-2008 "Determination of Surface Tension of Surfactants".

[0035] Low-temperature stability test: The surfactants prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were prepared into a 5wt% surfactant ethylene glycol aqueous solution (the volume ratio of ethylene glycol to water was 9:1), placed in a low-temperature constant temperature chamber, and observed for 24 hours at -10℃ to see if any solids precipitated.

[0036] Wetting performance test: The surfactants prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were prepared into a 0.1 wt% surfactant aqueous solution. 5 μl of surfactant aqueous solution was dropped onto a clean quartz plate, and the contact angle was immediately measured using a contact angle meter. Three points were measured for each plate, and three plates were repeated for each sample. The average value was taken as the final result.

[0037] Table 1 Performance Test Data

[0038] As can be seen from Table 1, the surfactants prepared in Examples 1-3 of this application have low surface tension and contact angle, exhibiting excellent wetting properties and low-temperature stability.

[0039] The surfactants prepared in Examples 1-3 of this application form a three-arm spatial structure with cyclotrisiloxane as the core. Each arm contains a thioether bond, a secondary amine, a hydroxyl group, and a quaternary ammonium salt. Flexible ether chains and fluorocarbon chains are connected to the quaternary ammonium salt, giving the molecule both hydrophobic and hydrophilic functions. The cyclotrisiloxane provides spatial support, allowing the three arms to form a tripod-like stable adsorption at the gas-liquid interface. The fluorocarbon structure, as a superhydrophobic group, is tightly packed at the interface due to its extremely low surface energy, reducing surface tension through hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces between the fluorocarbon chains. The flexible ether chains form a hydrogen bond network with water molecules through ether-oxygen bonds, improving low-temperature fluidity, and simultaneously enhancing the dynamic spreading ability of the molecule at the interface through chain segment oscillation. The quaternary ammonium salt cationic head group maintains molecular dispersion stability through electrostatic repulsion, while the hydroxyl and secondary amine further enhance hydration and improve the wettability of the molecule. The flexible thioether bond balances the rigid framework and chain segment movement, ensuring interfacial activity over a wide temperature range. The synergistic effect of various structures in the surfactant molecule significantly reduces its surface tension, improves wetting properties and low-temperature stability.

[0040] The surfactant prepared in Comparative Example 1 has a two-arm structure, resulting in insufficient molecular density and uneven coverage at the interface. This reduces the dynamic spreading ability and adsorption stability of the chain segments, leading to a weakened surface tension reduction effect. Simultaneously, its low-temperature stability and wetting properties also decrease. The surfactant prepared in Comparative Example 2 has a four-arm structure, resulting in space congestion, restricted chain segment arrangement, and insufficient spreading of fluorocarbon and ether chains. This hinders dynamic chain segment movement, weakens synergistic effects, and reduces interfacial adsorption density, ultimately leading to a decrease in surface tension reduction, wetting properties, and low-temperature stability. The surfactant prepared in Comparative Example 5 replaces the hydrophilic ether chain with a completely hydrophobic long alkyl chain, resulting in poor aqueous solubility, irregular interfacial adsorption layer arrangement, restricted dynamic chain spreading, and the disappearance of hydrophilic synergistic effects, leading to a decrease in surfactant performance.

However, any modifications, alterations, and variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention based on the disclosed technical content are equivalent embodiments of the present invention.
