Description

A bio-based organosilicon surfactant, its preparation method and application

[0001] Cross-reference of related applications

[0002] This disclosure claims priority and benefits to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024106848624, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on May 30, 2024, entitled "A Bio-based Organosilicon Surfactant and Its Preparation Method and Application", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of polyurethane preparation technology, and more specifically, to a bio-based organosilicon surfactant, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0004] Polyurethane foam stabilizers are additives that play a crucial role in the preparation of polyurethane foam. Their main function is to adjust the foam's cell structure, making it more uniform and fine, while also improving its stability and preventing problems such as foam collapse and agglomeration. Foam stabilizers have a significant impact on the cell structure, strength, thermal conductivity, and air permeability of rigid polyurethane foams, playing an irreplaceable role. Organosilicon surfactants, with their unique surface activity and dispersing properties in polyurethane foams, are also frequently used as polyurethane foam stabilizers in production.

[0005] Typically, the raw materials used in polyurethane foam production are mostly derived from fossil-based materials such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Fossil-based materials are stable, easy to process, relatively low in cost, and easy to standardize production; however, they are non-renewable resources and are gradually being depleted. Furthermore, the overexploitation and use of fossil resources has led to energy depletion, climate change, and environmental pollution. Bio-based materials, on the other hand, are a new type of material manufactured using renewable biomass, including crops, trees, other plants, and their residues and contents, through biological, chemical, and physical methods. Bio-based materials are usually made from renewable resources, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources and contributing to sustainable development. Secondly, bio-based materials are relatively easy to degrade in the natural environment, making them more environmentally friendly and effectively mitigating the environmental pollution pressure caused by fossil-based materials.

[0006] Fossil-based polyether polyols are a primary raw material for polyurethane foam production. Currently, much research focuses on preparing bio-based polyether polyols to replace fossil-based polyether polyols, while research on bio-based polyurethane foam stabilizers is relatively scarce. Therefore, given the trend of bio-based materials replacing fossil-based materials, it is necessary to accelerate the development of green, environmentally friendly bio-based foam stabilizers to replace existing foam stabilizers, thereby reducing the use of fossil-based materials and carbon emissions. Simultaneously, by introducing the unique structures of bio-based materials, their application performance can be improved, enhancing the quality of polyurethane foam and meeting the diverse application requirements of rigid polyurethane foams.

[0007] In view of this, this disclosure is hereby made.

The formulations are as follows:

[0246] Table 1. Rigid polyurethane foam formulation

[0247] Preparation of rigid polyurethane foam: The formulation is shown in Table 1. During polyurethane foam preparation, the components of the formulation are mixed and stirred at 6000 r / min. Before the foam freely expands, it is poured into a standard mold (mold temperature 25℃) to produce polyurethane foam.

Polyurethane foam prepared with the bio-based silicone surfactant synthesized in this disclosure has better flow properties and a higher flow index.

[0256] In summary, the present disclosure provides a bio-based organosilicon surfactant and its preparation method. Using epoxy-terminated polyether as the hydrophilic group, and introducing bio-based substances through an epoxy ring-opening reaction, the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of the organosilicon surfactant are adjusted to a certain extent, thereby improving its surface activity. Introducing this structure can reduce the thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam, increase its flow index, and improve its thermal insulation performance. This provides a new route for the synthesis of bio-based organosilicon surfactants. The surfactant preparation method is simple, easy to operate, and suitable for industrial production.

[0257] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure, and are not intended to limit them. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure. Industrial applicability

[0258] This disclosure provides a novel organosilicon surfactant with a comb-like structure, consisting of a hydrophobic siloxane as the main chain and hydrophilic polyether as the side chain. The polyether side chains are grafted with bio-based substances via an epoxy ring-opening reaction, thereby modulating the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of the organosilicon surfactant to a certain extent and improving its surface activity. Using this bio-based organosilicon surfactant as a polyurethane foam stabilizer can reduce the thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam, increase its flow index, and improve its thermal insulation performance. The synthesis method of this bio-based organosilicon surfactant is simple, easy to operate, and suitable for industrial production.
