Description

Preparation method of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fluorine-containing plastics and preparation methods thereof, relates to a preparation method of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin, and particularly relates to a method for preparing the ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin by initiating an inorganic redox system.
Background
The ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) copolymer resin is used as a crystalline high polymer, has a melting point of 256-280 ℃, can be self-extinguished during combustion, is the most tough fluoroplastic, has high shear mechanical strength and low-temperature impact resistance, is the best of the existing fluoroplastics, maintains the good heat resistance, chemical resistance and electrical insulation performance of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), greatly improves the radiation resistance and mechanical performance, and has the tensile strength of 50MPa which is 2 times that of the PTFE. The use temperature is usually set between-65 ℃ and 150 ℃.
ETFE is prepared by copolymerizing two monomers of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, the copolymerization structure is divided into four types of block, random, graft and alternating, for the ETFE, the molecular rigidity and the crystallinity of the alternating structure are the highest, the structural defect that the molar ratio of the components deviates from 50/50 influences the crystal form of the polymer, so that the melting point and the glass transition temperature are reduced, and particularly when the ethylene ratio is higher, the difference between the decomposition temperature and the melting point of the polymer is smaller, so that the forming processing is not facilitated.
In the domestic related reports about ETFE, only the processing and application fields are involved, and no related patent report in the aspect of polymerization preparation is found; the foreign ETFE preparation process adopts an organic peroxide initiator, and has the advantages of no need of molecular tail end group treatment and high initiator cost and harsh storage and use conditions. In contrast, inorganic peroxides (such as ammonium persulfate and the like) have low cost and do not need special solvents, but the initiation temperature of the inorganic peroxide during the polymerization of ETFE needs to be higher than 60 ℃, while the low temperature in the copolymerization reaction is favorable for the formation of the ETFE with an alternating structure, and the initiation temperature of the inorganic peroxide is higher, so that the alternating structure is adversely affected.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin which adopts an inorganic initiation system and is beneficial to the ETFE copolymerization with an alternate structure.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme is as follows: a preparation method of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin is characterized by comprising the following steps:
the polymerization reaction kettle is connected with the gas mixing tank through a check valve, so that gas can only flow from the mixing tank to the reaction kettle in a one-way mode;
adding an ammonium persulfate solution with the mass percentage concentration of 1 thousandth into a polymerization reaction kettle, controlling the reaction temperature to be 10 ℃ and keeping the temperature constant, filling tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene monomers into the polymerization reaction kettle, enabling the absolute pressure-partial pressure ratio of the tetrafluoroethylene to the ethylene to be 7: 3, adding a ferrous sulfate solution with the mass percentage concentration of 1% within 2 hours at a constant speed, wherein the adding amount (volume ratio) is as follows: ferrous sulfate to ammonium persulfate ratio of 3 to 20; pressurizing the mixed gas in the gas mixing tank and then filling the pressurized mixed gas into a polymerization reaction kettle in the process of adding ferrous sulfate, and supplementing and adding subsequent monomers in a mixed gas mode to keep the polymerization reaction kettle at a constant pressure; finishing the reaction after 20 minutes after the ferrous sulfate solution is added, discharging the residual gas out of the reaction kettle by using a vacuum pump, opening the kettle and collecting the material;
repeatedly washing the obtained materials with deionized water for more than three times, and removing the residual initiator until the measured conductivity of the filtrate is reduced to below 1 mu S/m; and finally, drying at the temperature of not higher than 150 ℃ to obtain the ETFE copolymer resin in a solid powder state.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the method for preparing the ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene by initiating the inorganic redox system not only avoids the problems of high cost and harsh use conditions of organic peroxide, but also overcomes the defects of high initiation temperature and adverse influence on an alternate structure of the inorganic peroxide. The invention reduces the initiation temperature of inorganic peroxide, and the molecular structural formula of the prepared copolymer resin polymer is- [ CH2-CH2-CF2-CF2]nThe composite material has an alternating coalescence structure, high shear mechanical strength and good low-temperature impact resistance, maintains the good performance of PTFE, improves the radiation resistance and the mechanical performance to a great extent, and has tensile strength of 50MPa which is 2 times that of PTFE.
