The invention discloses a nanosilicon dioxide modified
polyurethane elastomer and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of enabling polyether glycol,
isocyanate and micromolecular dihydroxy
alcohol to be subjected to addition
polymerization reaction to prepare a
polyurethane prepolymer as a component A; uniformly mixing a chain
extender, ethyl
silicate and a
silane coupling agent, carrying out in-situ
hydrolysis on ethyl
silicate to form nanosilicon dioxide particles, performing surface hydrophobicity modification on the nanosilicon dioxide particles by using the
silane coupling agent, and removing a
solvent in the mixture to obtain a component B; uniformly mixing the component A and the component B according to a certain ratio, degassing, pouring and carrying out
vulcanization molding to obtain the nano-modified
polyurethane elastomer. By using the preparation method, the uniform dispersion of
silicon dioxide particles in polyurethane is realized, the enhancement effect of nanoparticles is sufficiently taken, the prepared
polyurethane elastomer is obtained by crosslinking the nanosilicon dioxide particles, and the
heat resistance and
chemical stability of the
polyurethane elastomer can be remarkably improved; in addition, the nanosilicon dioxide modified
polyurethane elastomer can meet the requirements of a sealing element for
mechanical strength,
wear resistance, high elasticity and oil resistance and has a wide market prospect.
