Description

Fluorine-containing polymer water-based dispersion emulsion and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fluorine-containing aqueous polymer dispersion emulsion without a fluorine-containing surfactant, and also relates to a preparation method of the fluorine-containing aqueous polymer dispersion emulsion.
Background
The fluorine-containing polymer has the characteristics of good weather resistance, wide application temperature range, excellent dielectric property, non-adhesiveness, low friction and the like. These properties make fluoropolymers increasingly used in industrial, consumer and military applications.
Specific examples of the common fluorine-containing polymer include Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a copolymer of Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and Hexafluoropropylene (HFP), perfluoroalkoxy copolymer (PFA), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) copolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride copolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and the like.
The fluoropolymer may be prepared by suspension polymerization (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,855,191), emulsion polymerization (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,635,926), solution polymerization (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,642,742), gas phase polymerization (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,861,845) and the like. The most common polymerization methods currently used include suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization.
A common method for preparing the fluorine-containing polymer by adopting the emulsion polymerization method comprises the steps of polymerizing fluorine-containing monomers in emulsion by using a fluorine-containing surfactant to form fluorine-containing polymer emulsion (wherein the content of the fluorine-containing polymer is 10-40 wt% generally), then removing the fluorine-containing surfactant which generally influences the performance of products, adding a certain amount of hydrocarbon surfactant to stabilize the polymer emulsion, and finally increasing the content of the fluorine-containing polymer of the obtained polymer emulsion to 50-70 wt% by concentration.
The reason for the common use of fluorosurfactants in the preparation of fluoropolymers by emulsion polymerization is because other common surfactants do not result in a stable polymer emulsion and emulsion breaking of the resulting product emulsion is often observed.
In addition, the fluoropolymer emulsion prepared by using the fluorine-containing surfactant needs a step of removing the fluorine-containing surfactant so as to prevent the fluorine-containing surfactant from influencing the environment and generating a biological continuous aggregation effect to influence the health of human bodies. Conventional methods for eliminating fluorosurfactants (e.g., ammonium perfluorooctanoate surfactant) from fluoropolymer emulsions include thermal concentration, ultrafiltration, and ion exchange.
For example, U.S. patent application No. 2005070633 discloses a method for removing fluorosurfactant from aqueous fluoropolymer emulsions by ion exchange, which specifically discloses adding an effective amount of nonionic surfactant to an aqueous fluoropolymer emulsion and mixing thoroughly to stabilize the aqueous emulsion, then contacting the resulting mixture with an anion exchange resin, and thoroughly contacting the aqueous fluoropolymer emulsion and anion exchange resin by agitation. The process of this us patent enables the amount of ammonium perfluorooctanoate in the aqueous fluoropolymer emulsion to be reduced to the desired level.
The existing method for preparing fluorine-containing polymer by emulsion polymerization has two defects:
(a) the need to use fluorosurfactants during the polymerization process, which are generally not environmentally friendly; and
(b) special steps are required to remove the fluorosurfactant so that it does not affect the properties of the final product, resulting in increased production costs.
For example, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or its salt is a synthetic chemical that is a necessary processing aid in the manufacture of high performance fluoropolymers. The prepared high-performance fluorine-containing polymer has special properties, and is widely applied to the fields of civil articles such as aviation science and technology, transportation, electronic industry, kitchen and the like, textile, paper, fire-fighting foam, paint, stone protection and the like. Although no established research results show that the perfluorooctanoic acid or the salt thereof can cause harm to human health, the perfluorooctanoic acid or the salt thereof has the characteristics of high stability and difficult degradation in the environment, and becomes a novel global persistent environmental pollutant at present. Therefore, in the preparation of such high performance fluoropolymers, it is desirable to avoid the use of perfluorooctanoic acid or its salt compounds as much as possible.
To overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the art proposes a number of methods to replace or reduce the use of perfluorooctanoic acid or its salts in fluoropolymer emulsion polymerization.
For example, International patent application No. WO9717381 discloses a process for preparing homopolymers or copolymers of Chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) which employs a redox initiator system to initiate the polymerization and which is supplemented with initiator several times during the polymerization and is therefore a surfactant-free aqueous emulsion polymerization. The method can well control the particle size and the distribution of polymer particles, and can prepare stable emulsion with solid content of up to 50% under the condition of no emulsifier. However, this method requires the addition of both reducing and oxidizing agents, which means that additional feeding routes and control devices are required, and the simultaneous feeding inevitably increases the risk of failure in the polymerization process.
US patent application US2004041878 develops a process for the preparation of emulsifier free fluoropolymers. The method also employs a redox system as an initiating system comprising one or more fluoroolefins capable of reducing an oxidizing metal ion and an oxidizing metal ion. The method adjusts the fluoropolymer molecular weight by adding a chain transfer agent and either an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent is added during the polymerization process instead of both, or oxidizing metal ions are added to initiate the polymerization and oxidizing metal ions are added during the polymerization process. However, this method has disadvantages in that the kind of the fluoroolefin in the initiating system is limited, and the fluoropolymer produced by this method is generally an amorphous or semi-crystalline fluoropolymer.
It is desirable to produce fluoropolymers without or substantially without low molecular weight fluorosurfactants, which are harmful to humans, thereby reducing the environmental burden and reducing manufacturing costs without the need for subsequent steps to remove the fluorosurfactants.
Accordingly, there remains a need in the art to develop a method for preparing aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion emulsions that does not require the use of fluorosurfactants, thereby eliminating the need for a subsequent fluorosurfactant removal step.
