Description

Aqueous polyurethane dispersion and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of polyurethanes, and specifically relates to an aqueous polyurethane dispersion and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Over the past few decades, waterborne polyurethane dispersions based on polyester, polyether, and polycarbonate polyols as soft segments have been extensively researched and applied by academia and industry. They offer performance comparable to oil-based systems while being environmentally friendly and pollution-free during use, leading to their widespread use in coatings, adhesives, and other fields. Polyester, polyether, and polycarbonate polyurethane or polyurethane-urea aqueous dispersions are often designed as larger molecular weight block polymers. However, these waterborne polyurethanes share a common characteristic: a large number of highly polar ester, ether, and carbonate bonds give the polymer chain segments a high overall polarity, resulting in poor adhesion to low-surface-energy substrates. Furthermore, since most of these soft segments can crystallize and hydrogen bonds exist between them and the hard segments, their low-temperature stability is limited. Furthermore, the large number of polar segments and most polar organic solvents dissolve like in like, leading to challenges in the solvent resistance of polyurethane films, limiting the application scenarios of waterborne polyurethanes.

[0003] At present, there are several methods to improve the above-mentioned problems. For example, the polarity of the polymer can be tuned by low-polarity substrate treatment agents or by introducing silicon-containing or low-polarity side chains into water-based polyurethane, thereby improving its adhesion to low-surface-energy substrates, but the degree of improvement is extremely limited; for example, the crystallization can be destroyed by introducing irregular segments or monomers, thereby improving the low-temperature resistance of the emulsion, but this will sacrifice the high cohesive energy brought by the crystallization to a certain extent; for example, the organic solvent resistance of polyester, polyether, and polycarbonate water-based polyurethane films can be improved by introducing cross-linking or increasing the molecular weight, but this method itself is an unfavorable factor for the film-forming property of the emulsion and needs to be balanced and adjusted as appropriate.

[0004] CN113711383A discloses a binder composition for electrodes that exhibits high durability even when using active materials with large volume changes. The polyurethane resin is obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate, an olefin polyol containing more than 1.5 active hydrogen atoms and / or a carbonate diol having less than 6 carbon atoms between carbonate bonds, a compound having a hydrophilic group and more than one active hydrogen atom, and a chain extender. The obtained resin has excellent electrolyte stability, electrode active material / electrode sheet adhesion, and the ability to inhibit expansion and rebound of the electrode active material coating as an electrode binder. However, on the one hand, the polyurethane resin provided in the disclosure can only use alicyclic isocyanates and / or aromatic isocyanates. On the other hand, the disclosure does not discuss or limit the structure of polyolefin polyols and hydrogenated polyolefin polyols, especially the alkyl side chain content.

[0005] CN114698377A discloses a method for preparing and using a polyolefin-based waterborne polyurethane, characterized by excellent storage stability and excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates. The polyolefin polyol used in the polyolefin polyol comprises a weight ratio of ethylene to an α-olefin having 3 to 8 carbon atoms (ethylene / α-olefin) of 5 / 95 to 65 / 35, and the α-olefin portion (A1) has an isotacticity of 1 to 50%. However, the polymer system of the polyolefin-based waterborne polyurethane disclosed herein contains a large number of cis / trans (Z / E) isomers, which compromise the flexibility of the soft segment. Due to its configuration and steric hindrance, the soft segment struggles to achieve a high level of phase separation. The presence of the α-olefin (1,2-vinyl) also exacerbates this drawback.

[0006] In summary, current conventional water-based polyurethane products contain a large number of highly polar ester bonds, ether bonds, and carbonate bonds, which make the overall polarity of the polymer chain segments relatively high, resulting in poor swelling properties of the polyurethane film, greatly limiting its application in solvent environments. In addition, in existing polyolefin-based water-based polyurethane products, since they mostly use highly rigid hard segments, it is difficult to achieve a balanced strength and elongation at break of the polyurethane film produced.

[0007] Therefore, developing an aqueous polyurethane dispersion with both excellent mechanical properties and solvent resistance is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

[0008] Summary of the Invention

[0009] The following is a summary of the subject matter described in detail herein. This summary is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0010] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, a preparation method and application thereof. The aqueous polyurethane dispersion selects hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol as the soft segment and limits the mass percentage of hydrogenated 1,2-vinyl units in the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol to no more than 85%, thereby being able to have both excellent solvent resistance and excellent mechanical properties, having high modulus, breaking strength and breaking elongation, and can be used as automotive interior adhesive, electronic adhesive or battery adhesive.

[0011] To achieve this goal, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] In a first aspect, the present application provides an aqueous polyurethane dispersion, wherein the raw materials of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion include hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol and polyisocyanate;

[0013] The mass percentage of hydrogenated 1,2-vinyl units in the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol is not higher than 85%, for example, 80%, 75%, 70%, 65%, 60%, 55%, 50%, 45% or 40%.

[0014] The aqueous polyurethane dispersion provided by the present application can introduce a large number of alkyl chains into the polyurethane molecular chain segment by selecting hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol with a mass percentage of 1,2-vinyl units not higher than 85% as a soft segment and combining it with polyisocyanate, thereby effectively adjusting the polarity of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion, making it have unprecedented low polarity and a more flexible chain structure, thereby enabling it to have excellent solvent resistance as well as high breaking strength, elongation at break and modulus, which is more advantageous in high-stress application scenarios; wherein the structural formula of the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol is n represents the degree of polymerization of the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol, and a represents the number of 1,2-vinyl units;

[0015] In addition, although the present application uses hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol with a mass percentage of no more than 85% as the soft segment, since the fatty backbone of hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol is entirely composed of sp 3 Hybridized carbon-carbon single bond composition, sp 3The hybridized carbon-carbon single bond can rotate freely, so during high-speed shearing, the large steric side chain can be caused to rotate to the outside by mechanical energy supply, completing the conformational energy barrier crossing, and ultimately promoting the lowest energy conformation, effectively ensuring the degree of microphase separation of the soft and hard segments, thereby providing better emulsion stability, cohesion and solvent resistance; and precisely because the prepared block polymer contains ultra-low polarity fatty long chains and a large number of alkyl side chains, the overall glass transition temperature (Tg) of the obtained aqueous polyurethane dispersion is very low, and can be controlled between -10 and -80°C through formula adjustment. Therefore, the aqueous polyurethane dispersion provided by the present application also has excellent low-temperature resistance and is easy to activate as an adhesive.

[0016] In one embodiment, the mass percentage of hydrogenated 1,2-vinyl units in the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol is 65-85%. On the one hand, if the mass percentage of hydrogenated 1,2-vinyl units in the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol is lower than 65%, it is easy to cause the polymer segments of the prepared aqueous polyurethane dispersion to be too flexible and too soft after film formation, which is not conducive to blocking the internal penetration of organic solvents, thereby reducing the mechanical properties and solvent resistance. On the other hand, if the mass percentage of hydrogenated 1,2-vinyl units in the hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol is higher than 85%, it is easy to cause the polymer segments of the prepared aqueous polyurethane dispersion to have too many side chains, which adhere to each other, thereby increasing the viscosity of the emulsion and having poor processing performance. At the same time, during film formation, the internal morphological cavity is too large due to steric hindrance between the segments, which is not conducive to microphase separation, and also leads to unsatisfactory mechanical properties and solvent resistance.

[0113] Comparative Example 1

[0114] A waterborne polyurethane dispersion is prepared, which differs from Example 1 only in that LBH-P3000 is used in an equal molar amount to replace HLBH-P3000, and other substances, amounts used, and preparation methods are the same as those in Example 1.

[0115] Comparative Example 2

[0116] A waterborne polyurethane dispersion is prepared, which differs from Example 1 only in that GI2000 is used in an equal molar amount to replace HLBH-P3000, and other substances, amounts used, and preparation methods are the same as those in Example 1.

[0117] Performance testing:

[0118] (1) Solid content: Take an appropriate amount of waterborne polyurethane dispersion and place it in a container made of tin foil. Weigh the weight before and after placing it at 150°C for 20 minutes to calculate its solid content.

[0119] (2) Particle size: tested using a Malvern particle size analyzer;

[0120] (3) 100% modulus, breaking strength, and elongation at break: The aqueous polyurethane dispersion was spread onto a polytetrafluoroethylene film-forming mold to obtain a polyurethane film with a thickness of 0.5 mm. The polyurethane film was then cut into dumbbell shapes as test specimens. Finally, the polyurethane test specimens were tested using a Tesla machine, MTS Model E43, at a pulling speed of 10 mm / min.

[0121] (4) Solvent resistance: The aqueous polyurethane dispersion was spread into a polytetrafluoroethylene film-forming mold to obtain a film with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a length of 2 cm. 2 and a width of 2cm 2 The polyurethane film was prepared and the original mass of the polyurethane film was recorded. Then, in a glove box, the polyurethane film was immersed in an electrolyte (the solvent was diethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, and propylene carbonate in a volume ratio of 1:1:1, and the lithium salt was 1M LiPF6) and sealed. The film was placed in an oven at 50°C for 2 days. The polyurethane film was taken out and the surface was wiped dry with absorbent paper. After recording the mass, the percentage of mass increase was calculated.

[0122] The aqueous polyurethane dispersions provided in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were tested according to the above test method. The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0123] Table 1

[0124] According to the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the waterborne polyurethane dispersion provided by the present application can have both excellent solvent resistance and mechanical properties;

[0125] Specifically, the polyurethane films prepared from the aqueous polyurethane dispersions provided in Examples 1 to 6 had a 100% modulus of 1.2 to 4.9%, a breaking strength of 2.0 to 8.6 MPa, and an elongation at break of 194 to 627%. Solvent resistance tests showed that the percentage increase in mass before and after immersion in the electrolyte was 17 to 34%.

[0126] Compared with Examples 1 to 6, since the soft segment of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion provided in Comparative Example 1 is polybutadiene polyol, the mechanical properties and solvent resistance of the prepared polyurethane film are poor;

[0127] Compared with Examples 1 to 6, since the mass percentage of hydrogenated 1,2-vinyl units in the soft segment of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion provided in Comparative Example 2 is too high, the mechanical properties and solvent resistance of the polyurethane film after being made are also deteriorated;

[0128] Furthermore, by comparing the data of Examples 1, 7, and 8, it can be seen that if the amount of polyisocyanate added to the raw materials of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion is relatively too high (Example 7), the hardness after film formation will be too high, the elongation at break will be only 76% (it cannot be stretched to 100%, so there is no 100% modulus data), and the solvent resistance will be poor; and if the amount of hydrogenated polybutadiene polyol added to the raw materials of the aqueous polyurethane dispersion is relatively too high (Example 8), the tensile strength of the film will be low; neither of them can have both excellent mechanical properties and solvent resistance.
