Abstract
Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for decomposing polyurethane materials, and more particularly to a method for decomposing materials containing a network crosslinked polyurethane acrylic resin. [Background technology]
[0002] Polyurethane acrylic resins have a wide design range, allowing their rigidity and flexibility to be adjusted according to needs, and their molecular structure offers advantages such as good corrosion resistance, good abrasion resistance, good adhesion, good heat resistance, good mechanical properties, and good wettability with various fibers, making them suitable for the structural design of composite materials. However, because of these excellent properties, these composite materials are difficult to decompose and recover, ultimately causing problems such as a shortage of landfill sites and environmental pollution, making the decomposition and recovery of waste composite materials an important issue.
[0003] Polyurethane-acrylic resin composite materials are difficult to recover by melting or dissolving them because the polyurethane-acrylic resin is in a three-dimensional network-like crosslinked state. Conventional techniques have limited recovery to methods such as burial or incineration, which require significant amounts of energy and time and are expensive, and decomposition recovery technology is lacking. However, in the future, these two disposal methods, burial and incineration, will likely become impossible. Therefore, the only way to recover composite materials and achieve the goal of waste reduction is to develop a method that allows the resin to be decomposed.
[0004] Therefore, how to find a suitable decomposition solution to decompose polyurethane acrylic resin in order to achieve the purpose of recovery has become a goal of efforts by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[Figure 1] 1 is a step flow chart illustrating a method for decomposing a polyurethane acrylic resin material according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] 2 is a step flow chart illustrating a method for making a polyurethane acrylic resin according to another embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] 2 is a step flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a polyurethane acrylic resin according to another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0027] The following describes in more detail various embodiments of the present invention. However, these embodiments may be applications of various inventive concepts and may be specifically implemented within various specific scopes. The specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.
[0028] <Method for decomposing polyurethane acrylic resin materials>
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1. It shows a step flowchart of a method 100 for decomposing polyurethane acrylic resin material according to one embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, the method 100 for decomposing polyurethane acrylic resin material includes steps 110, 120, 130, and 140.
[0030] Step 110 is a step of curing a polyurethane-acrylic resin to provide a polyurethane-acrylic resin material. Specifically, the polyurethane-acrylic resin material of the present invention may be a cured polyurethane-acrylic resin product or a composite material containing the cured polyurethane-acrylic resin product. The cured polyurethane-acrylic resin product can be cured at room temperature or at an elevated temperature with the addition of a known accelerator and free radical initiator to form a network-like crosslinked cured product. The composite material containing the cured polyurethane-acrylic resin product is formed by impregnating the polyurethane-acrylic resin with fibers at room temperature or at an elevated temperature. The fibers may be, but are not limited to, glass fibers, carbon fibers, polyamide fibers, or combinations thereof.
[0031] Step 120 is a step of providing a decomposition solution containing at least a decomposable compound having at least a reactive NH / NH group and a reactive OH group. Specifically, the reactive NH / NH group and the reactive OH group are functional groups that can react with the polyurethane acrylic resin, allowing ammonolysis and alcoholysis to be carried out without damaging the fibers in the composite material. Specifically, the decomposable compound may have a structure shown in formula (i):
number
[0032] Step 130 is a mixing step in which the polyurethane acrylic resin material and the decomposition liquid are mixed to form a decomposition mixture.
[0033] Step 140 is a heating step in which the decomposition mixture is heated to a decomposition temperature and maintained for a decomposition time to decompose the polyurethane acrylic resin material, the decomposition temperature may be from 135°C to the boiling point temperature of the decomposition liquid, and the decomposition time may be from 2 hours to 24 hours.
[0034] Thus, the present invention achieves efficient decomposition by reacting a network-shaped cross-linked polyurethane acrylic resin material with a decomposition solution containing at least reactive NH / NH2 groups and reactive OH groups through ammonolysis and alcoholysis, and then increasing the temperature. The maximum decomposition temperature can be the boiling point of the decomposition solution, and excess decomposition solution can be used as a solvent during the decomposition process to dilute and suspend the fibers. After decomposition is complete, volatile substances can be separated by vacuum distillation. This volatile substance is the decomposition solution containing reactive NH / NH2 groups and OH groups, and can be reused repeatedly. Furthermore, when a composite material containing a cured polyurethane acrylic resin is decomposed, the polyurethane acrylic resin is decomposed and removed, resulting in recovered fibers free of plastic, thereby realizing a recycling mechanism that separates the fibers from the organic materials.
[0035] According to the method 100 for decomposing a polyurethane acrylic resin material of the present invention, 40% or more of the total weight of the polyurethane acrylic resin is an oligomer, and has the structure shown in formula (I).
number
[0036] According to the method 100 for decomposing a polyurethane acrylic resin material of the present invention, the production of the polyurethane acrylic resin may refer to the following description of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows a step flow chart of a method 200 for producing a polyurethane acrylic resin according to another embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 2, the method 200 for producing a polyurethane acrylic resin includes step 210 and step 220.
[0037] Step 210 is a polyurethane polymerization step in which an isocyanate compound, an inhibitor, and a catalyst are mixed with diluted monomer, and the mixture is heated to a first temperature to obtain a first mixture, and a polyol compound is added to the first mixture, and the reaction is carried out while maintaining the first temperature to obtain a second mixture.
[0038] Step 220 is a polyurethane acrylate step in which a hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound is added to the second mixture and reacted while maintaining the first temperature to obtain a polyurethane acrylic resin.
[0039] The isocyanate compound may be a difunctional or polyfunctional isocyanate compound. The difunctional or polyfunctional isocyanate compound may be an aromatic ring isocyanate, and the aromatic ring isocyanate may be tolylene diisocyanate, polymethylene phenyl isocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, or a combination thereof. Specifically, the isocyanate compound may be one or more of MR200 (purchased from Dongcao), PM200 (purchased from Wanhua), M20S (purchased from BASF), 44V20 (purchased from Covestro), 5005 (purchased from Huntsman), NM (purchased from Dongcao), and MDI-50 (purchased from Wanhua), but is not limited thereto.
[0040] The inhibitor is an inhibitor that has been added to conventional free radical curing resins to ensure the storage stability (stability) of the resin, and an appropriate inhibitor may be selected from well-known inhibitors and added as needed, but a description thereof will be omitted here.
[0041] The catalyst may be organotin, organobismuth, or organozinc, and the amount of catalyst added may be 50 ppm to 200 ppm of the total content of the polyurethane acrylic resin.
[0042] The diluent monomer is a free radical curable diluent monomer and may be methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, isobornyl (meth)acrylate, (methyl)cyclohexyl acrylate, tetrahydrofuran (meth)acrylate, styrene, methylstyrene, vinyltoluene, or a combination thereof, and the first temperature may be 40°C to 80°C, preferably 50°C to 70°C.
[0043] The polyol compound may be a difunctional or multifunctional polyol compound, which may be polyoxyethylene ether, polyoxypropylene ether, polytetrahydrofuran, or a combination thereof. The number average molecular weight of the polyol compound is less than 2000. If the number average molecular weight of the polyol compound exceeds 2000, it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-rigidity composite materials.
[0044] The hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound may be hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (2-HPMA), hydroxypropyl acrylate (2-HPA), or a combination thereof.
[0045] The equivalent ratio of the NCO group of the isocyanate compound to the OH group of the polyol compound may be 1.5:1 to 10:1. If the NCO group / OH group ratio is less than 1.5, the polymerization molecular weight will be high and rigidity will be insufficient. If the NCO group / OH group ratio exceeds 10, the rigidity after curing will be too high and the decomposition efficiency will be low. Furthermore, in step 210, the NCO group of the isocyanate compound will remain, and the hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound in step 220 will be able to react with it. Therefore, the equivalent ratio of the OH group of the hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound to the NCO group of the isocyanate compound remaining after the reaction is 1:1 to 1.05:1.
[0046] The polyurethane acrylic resin contains an oligomer represented by formula (I). The oligomer has been described above, and therefore further description will be omitted here. Specifically, the polyurethane acrylic resin composition contains an isocyanate compound, a polyol compound, a hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound, and a diluent monomer. The oligomer is synthesized from the isocyanate compound, the polyol compound, and the hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound.
[0047] According to the method 100 for decomposing a polyurethane acrylic resin material of the present invention, the production of the polyurethane acrylic resin may refer to the following description of FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows a step flow chart of a method 300 for producing a polyurethane acrylic resin according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the method 300 for producing a polyurethane acrylic resin material includes steps 310, 320, and 330.
[0048] For details of steps 310 and 320, please refer to steps 210 and 220 above. Further explanation is omitted here. Specifically, step 330 is a dilution step in which the second mixture containing the hydroxy-containing (meth)acrylate compound is reacted at a first temperature (i.e., the third mixture), and then the temperature is lowered and a diluent monomer is added to obtain a polyurethane-acrylic resin. Specifically, step 330 relates to adjusting the working viscosity. The viscosity of the vacuum infusion resin is most preferably 100 cps to 250 cps, and the viscosity of the hand lay-up resin is most preferably 300 cps to 450 cps. Adding an appropriate amount of diluent monomer in step 330 controls the viscosity of the polyurethane-acrylic resin, thereby obtaining a polyurethane-acrylic resin suitable for subsequent applications of the polyurethane-acrylic resin material. The aforementioned applications refer to the manufacture of products using processes such as hand lay-up molding, compression molding, prepreg molding, pultrusion molding, fiber winding, resin transfer molding, and vacuum infusion molding. For details about the diluent monomer, please refer to the above, and further explanation is omitted here.
[0049] In addition, the dilution step in the polyurethane acrylic resin manufacturing method 300 of the present invention is determined according to the viscosity requirement of the working process. In the polyurethane acrylic resin manufacturing method 200 of the present invention, the polyurethane acrylic resin of the present invention can be obtained after the polyurethane acrylate step.
[0050] Thus, the polyurethane acrylic resin of the present invention is a degradable polyurethane acrylic resin obtained by subjecting a di- or higher functional isocyanate to a polyurethane chain extension reaction with a polyol, end-capping with a hydroxyl-containing acrylate compound, and further diluting with a free-radical curable diluent monomer according to the working viscosity.
[0051] Specifically, the reaction scheme for the preparation of polyurethane acrylic resin of the present invention is shown in Table 1 below, where M is a diluent monomer, which forms a network copolymer structure with the polyurethane acrylic resin after free radical curing.
[0052] [Table 1]
[0053] The decomposition reaction formula of polyurethane acrylic resin is shown in Table 2 below. The structure of polyurethane acrylic resin is presumed to form low molecular weight carbamate, low molecular weight ureido ester, polyol, and polyacrylic acid molecules through alcoholysis and ammonolysis, and the final decomposition products are aromatic amine compounds, oxazolidinone, carbamate alcohol amine, ureido diol, etc. through sustained action. [Table 2]
[0054] In another embodiment, 40% or more of the total weight of the polyurethane acrylic resin in the method for decomposing a polyurethane acrylic resin material of the present invention is an oligomer produced from the composition for producing a polyurethane acrylic resin of the present invention, and the oligomer has a structure represented by, but not limited to, formula (I) of the present invention.
[0055] The polyurethane acrylic resin material of the present invention can be applied to surface coatings, adhesives, 3D printing, or main body structure layers, and by adding fillers such as titanium white powder, silica, calcium carbonate, alumina, aluminum hydroxide, silicon carbide, or combinations thereof according to the function, it can be applied to the manufacture of automobile parts, marine parts, railway vehicle parts, sporting goods parts, aviation parts, wind turbine parts, furniture parts, and building parts.
[0056] The present invention is further illustrated by the following specific examples, so that those skilled in the art can fully utilize and practice the present invention without the need for undue interpretation. These examples are used to explain how to carry out the materials and methods of the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0065] The polyurethane acrylic resin material may be a cured polyurethane acrylic resin or a composite material containing the cured polyurethane acrylic resin. Specifically, cobalt isooctanoate (0.1% to 0.2%) and methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (1 to 2%) are added to the polyurethane acrylic resins of Synthesis Examples 1 to 5, and the mixture is cured at room temperature for 24 hours and then baked at 105°C for 2 hours to obtain the cured polyurethane acrylic resins of Synthesis Examples 6 to 10, respectively.

After washing the fiber with ethanol / water, the fiber can be easily recovered.
[0082] The resin type, fiber type, decomposition time (h), and decomposition state for Examples 7 to 10 are shown in Table 5 below. [Table 5]
[0083] As can be seen from the results in Table 5 above, after the composite material containing polyurethane acrylic resin and fiber is decomposed by the decomposition liquid containing reactive NH2 groups and OH groups, the polyurethane acrylic resin is decomposed and removed, thereby separating the resin from the fiber and leaving the fiber without any plastic attached, which can achieve the purpose of recovering and reusing the fiber.
[0084] As described above, the present invention uses a decomposition solution containing reactive NH / NH2 groups and OH groups and decomposes polyurethane acrylic resin materials by heating, thereby achieving a highly efficient depolymerization effect, and the decomposition solution after decomposition can be recovered and reused, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing waste.
[0085] Although the present invention has been disclosed above based on the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and a person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is based on the scope defined in the appended claims. [Explanation of symbols]
