Background technology
Shape-memory material refers to have original shape, after deformation is fixing, can changes external conditions, make it recover the polymkeric substance of original shape by methods such as heating.
The outside stimulus condition realizing shape memory effect has the chemical factor such as the physical factors such as heat energy, luminous energy, electric energy and potential of hydrogen, phase in version reaction and chelatropic reaction, according to the difference of outside stimulus condition, shape-memory material is divided into thermic induction type, photic induction type and chemical co-ordination type etc.Thermic induction type shape-memory material has a wide range of applications in medical material, sealing material, thermal control material field.
The memory function of thermic induction type shape-memory material mainly comes from its material internal and there is not exclusively compatible two-phase---keep the stationary phase of shaping article shape and be heated can occur that phase transforms can anti-phase, as crystalline transition or glassy transition.When temperature is elevated to more than second-order transition temperature or Tc, can anti-phase be elastomeric state by solid state transformation, high elastic deformation (alteration of form) can be there is under external force in material, this deformation is fixed when the temperature decreases, again raised temperature is to softening temperature, this deformation disappears, and material recovers is to original shape.
The thermic induction type shape memory functional material that in prior art prepared by differing materials and technique, its use temperature and purposes have bigger difference:
CN 00122353 discloses a kind of manufacture method of pyrocondensation pipe fitting, take polyethylene as main raw material, the use temperature of made heat-shrink tube is greater than 100 DEG C, because its pyrocondensation temperature is high, use temperature scope is restricted, in the material with memory of such as medical use, because material with memory needs to carry out pyrocondensation when the contact with human body, therefore, this material cannot be applied.
Have the technical scheme adopting polyvinyl chloride as material contracting with heat in addition in prior art, polyvinyl chloride take glass transition as phase transition point, and use temperature 80-90 DEG C, still exists the problem of polyethylene material contracting with heat.
The open using trans-polyisoprene of CN 1357572 and the blended pyrocondensation pipe fitting obtained through cobalt-60 radiosterilize of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, its deformation expansion only reaches 150%, and cobalt-60 radiosterilize gamma-ray contamination is serious, although its use temperature is at 60-80 DEG C, have must improve relative to the technical scheme of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, but because cobalt-60 radiosterilize gamma-ray contamination is serious, add that cobalt source is expensive, need to supplement for 2 years one, working cost is high, the process of useless source is more expensive, be almost the 6-7 in the source of purchasing doubly, processing bad meeting causes radiating material to leak, the U.S. prohibits, China is also at limit scale, therefore, suitability for industrialized production cannot be realized.
CN 101108909 discloses the shape-memory material that a kind of texturing temperature is less than 50 DEG C, its softening temperature is too low, in the summer in some area of China, air themperature can reach more than 40 DEG C, at this moment shape-memory material cannot use, and its crosslinked irradiation dose is 250kGy, and irradiation efficiency is low, and energy expenditure is larger.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the defect too high or too low for temperature of pyrocondensation in prior art, the invention provides the Low Temperature Thermal collapsed shape material with memory that a kind of pyrocondensation temperature is 60-70 DEG C, adopting polymkeric substance containing unsaturated carbon-carbon double bond with using trans-polyisoprene is blended, crosslinked obtain.
Compared with prior art, unsaturated polymer is in radiation field, and can activate and promote TPI structurizing, jointly form cross-linked structure, blend causes melt temperature to reduce.
