Description

Carbon nano tube dispersing agent and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon nanotubes, and particularly relates to a carbon nanotube dispersing agent, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) were found in 1991 and have been known for 30 years. The carbon nano tube has excellent performances such as extremely high modulus, tensile strength, ultra-high toughness and the like, and becomes a preferred additive of the high-performance composite material. However, since the carbon nanotubes are nano-materials, they are extremely easy to aggregate, and if they cannot be dispersed in the material effectively, their reinforcing effect on the material will be greatly reduced. An important issue in the current carbon nanotube research is to solve the dispersion of carbon nanotubes in various media such as solvents, polymers, cements, ceramics, etc., and the compatibility between interfaces.
The dispersion technology of CNTs can be classified into physical dispersion and chemical dispersion from the current literature. The physical dispersion method mainly comprises high-energy ball milling, ultrasonic oscillation, electric field induction, high-speed shearing, centrifugal stirring and the like. The chemical dispersion method mainly comprises a mixed acid oxidation method, a surfactant method and the like. Research shows that the agglomeration phenomenon of CNTs can not be overcome basically by using a physical dispersion method, and the length-diameter ratio of CNTs is easy to reduce, so that the CNTs can be shortened when being treated by using a physical method. [ Wu Xiwang, xiaoFeng, etc. ] -method and mechanism for dispersing nanotubes. Material guidance: summary, 2011, 25:16]
The mixed acid oxidation method can oxidize the surfaces of CNTs, and the surfaces of CNTs are provided with hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups and the like, so that the dispersion of CNTs in an aqueous system is promoted. However, this approach also tends to disrupt the microstructure of CNTs and thus affect their properties, particularly electrical properties. The surfactant forms micelle layer or adsorption layer on the surface of CNTs through non-covalent bond, and promotes the dispersion of CNTs through steric hindrance rejection. The method can also improve the compatibility of CNTs and other substances, has no damage to the structure of CNTs, and has limited capability of overcoming agglomeration. At present, scholars at home and abroad comprehensively and cooperatively use a plurality of dispersing methods for the dispersing process of CNTs, and obtain good effects. [ Cui Hongzhi, yang Jiaming, lin, development of carbon nanotube dispersing technology and carbon nanotube and cement-based composite materials, material guide A: review, 2016,30:91]
It is considered that both physical and chemical dispersion of carbon nanotubes may deteriorate the properties of carbon nanotubes, such as aspect ratio and conductivity. Accordingly, the current dispersion technology of carbon nanotubes is still further improved.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the invention is exemplary and intended to be illustrative of the invention and not to be construed as limiting the invention.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a carbon nanotube dispersant is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbon nanotube dispersant contains a copolymer of poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate.
Thus, the carbon nanotube dispersing agent of the embodiment of the invention is obtained by a random copolymerization method of at least two different functional monomers, namely, a copolymer containing at least one nonionic hydrophilic monomer and at least one monomer containing at least one benzene ring structure. The inventor finds that the poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid has a benzene ring structure, and the benzene ring structure is similar to a five-membered ring or a six-membered ring structure on the carbon nano tube, so that a pi-pi superposition-like effect can be generated with the carbon nano tube, and the copolymer is easy to adsorb on the surface of the carbon nano tube; and the side chain of the copolymer, namely poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate, can provide steric hindrance, so that the aggregation of the carbon nano tubes is effectively prevented, the dispersing effect is outstanding, and meanwhile, the dispersibility of the carbon nano tubes in other resins is enhanced.
In addition, experiments prove that after the carbon nanotube dispersing agent provided by the embodiment of the invention is added, the dispersibility of the carbon nanotubes is obviously improved in water or an organic solvent, so that the carbon nanotube dispersing agent provided by the embodiment of the invention is a universal dispersing agent. And the dispersing effect is outstanding, the using amount is very small, and the minimum using amount is only 10% of the total mass of the carbon nano tube, so that the cost can be reduced, and the influence of the dispersing agent on the performance of the resin composite material, such as processability, mechanical property, durability and the like, can be obviously reduced.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of preparing a carbon nanotube dispersant, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the method comprising: poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate are subjected to copolymerization reaction. Therefore, the method for preparing the carbon nanotube dispersing agent has the advantages of low cost of raw materials, simple synthesis method, only one-step copolymerization reaction, and easiness in carrying out the copolymerization reaction.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the copolymerization of poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate may be performed in an organic solvent, for example, in an alcohol solvent, an ester solvent, a ketone solvent, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, N-methylpyrrolidone, or N, N-dimethylformamide. Therefore, the copolymerization reaction is easy to carry out, and the reaction conditions are warm. After the copolymerization reaction is completed, the solvent may be recovered by evaporation.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned copolymerization is preferably performed in N, N-dimethylformamide, whereby the effect of the copolymerization can be further improved.
The copolymerization reaction described above may also be carried out in an inorganic solvent, for example, in water or brine, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the method for preparing the carbon nano tube has the advantages of mild conditions, low cost, no pollution and no special environmental requirement.
According to the specific embodiment of the invention, in the method for preparing the carbon nanotube dispersing agent, the mass ratio of the poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate to the poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid serving as a copolymerization reaction raw material is (2-4): 1. the inventors have found that, in the above mass ratio, it is possible to ensure that there are both sufficient benzene ring groups to cause the dispersant to adsorb onto the carbon nanotubes and sufficient poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether groups to provide steric hindrance to cause the carbon nanotubes to disperse. In addition, the mass ratio can be adopted to effectively prepare qualified copolymer, preferably the molecular weight of the copolymer is 5000-200000, if the mass ratio is too large or too small, the molecular weight of the copolymer finally prepared can be influenced, and if the molecular weight is too small, the volume steric hindrance provided by the dispersing agent is not large enough, and the dispersing effect is poor; if the molecular weight is too large, the dispersant molecules may be simultaneously connected to a plurality of carbon nanotubes, so that the nanotubes are more unevenly dispersed.
According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing a carbon nanotube dispersing agent according to the above embodiment specifically includes: (1) The mass ratio of N, N-dimethylformamide, poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate to poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid is 40:4: (1-2) mixing, and introducing nitrogen to deoxidize for 20 minutes; (2) Adding a proper amount of azodiisobutyronitrile as an initiator, and carrying out copolymerization reaction on the poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate and the poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid for 5-8 hours at the temperature of 60-100 ℃; (3) The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the carbon nanotube dispersant.
Therefore, the copolymer of poly (ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylic acid and poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylic ester can be effectively prepared by adopting the method. Particularly, by adopting the reaction conditions, the copolymer with proper molecular weight can be prepared, and further the dispersion effect of the carbon nano tube can be obviously improved.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a carbon nanotube dispersion slurry, which uses the carbon nanotube dispersing agent described in the previous embodiments according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Thus, in the carbon nanotube dispersing slurry prepared by using the carbon nanotube dispersing agent in the previous embodiment, the carbon nanotubes have good dispersing effect and almost no agglomeration phenomenon. Therefore, the carbon nano tube dispersion slurry is adopted to prepare the composite material, so that the carbon nano tube can be uniformly dispersed in various materials, the performances of high modulus, high stretching, ultrahigh toughness and the like of the carbon nano tube can be furthest exerted, and the reinforcing effect of the composite material can be remarkably improved. Meanwhile, as the dispersibility of the carbon nano tube is good, the maximum enhancement effect can be achieved by using the minimum dosage, so that the dosage can be reduced, and the cost for preparing the composite material is reduced.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing the carbon nanotube dispersion slurry specifically includes: and dissolving the carbon nanotube dispersing agent into a solvent in advance, and then adding the carbon nanotubes for dispersing so as to obtain the carbon nanotube dispersing slurry. Thus, the dispersion effect of the carbon nanotubes can be further improved by adopting the above-mentioned mixing effect.
According to the specific embodiment of the invention, after the carbon nanotubes are added, the carbon nanotubes can be uniformly dispersed by grinding, ultrasonic, high-speed dispersion and the like.
According to the embodiment of the invention, in the method for preparing the carbon nano tube dispersion slurry, the mass ratio of the carbon nano tube to the carbon nano tube dispersing agent is (10-1): 1-10, namely that the minimum using amount of the carbon nano tube dispersing agent can be 10% of the carbon nano tube.

Therefore, the carbon nanotube dispersing agent can disperse carbon nanotubes with the concentration of 0.1-10% by weight, so that a good dispersing effect can be achieved on the carbon nanotubes with high concentration.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube dispersion slurry prepared above may be single-walled carbon nanotubes or multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Therefore, the carbon nanotube dispersing agent provided by the embodiment of the invention has good dispersing effect on single-wall carbon nanotubes and multi-wall carbon nanotubes, and the application range of the carbon nanotube dispersing agent is obviously improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the solvent in the carbon nanotube dispersion slurry prepared as described above may be water or an organic solvent.
