Graphene grafted modified phenolic resin material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of phenolic resin materials, and particularly relates to a graphene grafted modified phenolic resin material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Among the three commonly used thermosetting resins, phenolic resin has the advantages of easy obtainment of raw materials for preparation, simple production process and equipment, relatively low price, good thermal stability, high heat resistance, strong mechanical property and the like of the product size, and becomes an indispensable functional material which is widely applied in industry. However, with the continuous development of the current industrial application, the traditional phenolic resin can not meet the use requirements of some fields such as aviation field, and the modification of the phenolic resin is urgently needed. Therefore, it is a hot point of research to use phenolic resin as a matrix material and other reinforcing materials to prepare phenolic resin matrix composite materials by a certain method so as to improve certain properties of the phenolic resin matrix composite materials.
At present, most reports are found about graphene/phenolic resin composite materials prepared mainly by a physical blending method, for example, chinese patent CN 10469367B discloses a preparation method of a graphene-containing phenolic resin-based composite material, which comprises adding phenolic resin into a graphene oxide solution, heating and stirring to be semisolid under ultrasonic dispersion, and drying to obtain a modified phenolic resin. The graphene oxide/phenolic resin composite material prepared by using a physical blending method not only needs to solve the problems of compatibility and interface between phenolic resin and graphene oxide, but also has limited performance improvement due to more defects on the surface of the graphene oxide.
In order to overcome the problems of compatibility and interface, some add surfactants, such as graphene solution containing surfactants, to the phenolic resin material in the synthesis process of graphene modified phenolic resin disclosed in chinese patents CN 104292745A and CN 104231539 a, to avoid the aggregation of graphene, but the amount of the added surfactant is high, which may limit the improvement of the material performance to a certain extent. In addition, graphene oxide and a surfactant are added in the phenolic resin synthesis to solve the problem of uneven mixing of graphene oxide in the phenolic resin, for example, in chinese patent CN 104403066A, graphene oxide and a larger amount of surfactant are added in the phenolic resin synthesis.
We have also found that there are very few reports of preparing composites by physically blending unmodified graphene as a reinforcing material with a phenolic resin matrix material, and the analytical reasons may be that unmodified graphene is less dispersible and compatible in the matrix material than graphene oxide.
Thus, there is a need for a way to link or mix the phenolic resin and the (unmodified) graphene such that the performance of the phenolic resin is improved while avoiding the problem of poor compatibility between the (unmodified) graphene and the phenolic resin.

Detailed Description
The features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and appreciated from the following detailed description of the invention.
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a graphene grafted modified phenolic resin material, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, preparing chloromethylation phenolic resin;
step 2, preparing azide phenolic resin;
and 3, mixing the azide phenolic resin with the graphene, reacting, and separating to obtain the modified phenolic resin material after the reaction is finished.
In the step 1, phenolic resin and a chloromethylation reagent react in a solvent I to obtain chloromethylated phenolic resin.
The phenol resin in the present invention is a generic term for a resinous polymer obtained by polycondensation of phenol and aldehyde in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst, and may be, for example, a resin synthesized from phenol and formaldehyde.
In a preferred embodiment, the chloromethylating agent is selected from the group consisting of chloromethylated alkyl ethers, such as ClCH2O(CH2)nCH3Or (ClCH)2O)2(CH2)nWherein n is 1 to 6, preferably 1, 4-dichloromethoxybutane. At present, the most usedThe method is widely characterized in that formaldehyde, trioxymethylene, paraformaldehyde and hydrochloric acid are matched to be used as chloromethylation reagents, so that the toxicity is low, the price is low, the reaction time is long, and the yield is not high; ClCH2OCH3And (ClCH)2)2O can also replace HCHO-HCl to be used as a chloromethylation reagent, has high activity and good reaction selectivity, but is extremely toxic, corrosive and difficult to store and transport; and ClCH2Si(CH3)3、ClSi(CH3)2HCHO and the like can also be used as chloromethylation reagents, and have the advantages of no toxicity, high yield, good reaction selectivity, difficult preparation, high price and limited application range. The long-carbon-chain chloromethyl alkyl ether selected in the invention has the advantages of high boiling point, high activity and safe and effective use, makes up the defects of the chloromethylation reagents, and is a better choice for the chloromethylation reagents.
In a preferred embodiment, the solvent i is selected from any one or more of acetone, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or n-butanol, preferably acetone.
In a preferred embodiment, a catalyst is further added during the preparation of the chloromethylated phenolic resin, and the catalyst is selected from Lewis acid, preferably selected from any one or more of zinc chloride, stannic chloride, ferric chloride, aluminum chloride or copper chloride.
The reaction mechanism of the phenolic resin and the chloromethylation reagent in the step 1 may be: first, an alkyl carbonium ion (e.g., one produced under catalysis of a Lewis acid)+CH2OCH2CH2CH2CH2OCH2Cl) on a benzene ring, then carrying out nucleophilic substitution reaction on free chloride ions, and breaking ether bonds to obtain the chloromethylated phenolic resin, wherein the total reaction formula is as follows:
the catalyst is used for promoting the chloromethylation reagent to form a carbonium ion so as to perform electrophilic substitution reaction on a benzene ring of a phenolic resin molecule, for example, tin tetrachloride is used as the catalyst, 1, 4-dichloromethoxybutane is used as the chloromethylation reagent, and the catalytic reaction is as follows:
SnCl4+ClCH2OCH2CH2CH2CH2OCH2Cl→+CH2OCH2CH2CH2OCH2Cl+SnCl5 -
in a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the catalyst, phenolic resin and chloromethylating agent is 1: (1.5-4): (10-20). The catalyst dosage influences the methylation rate of the phenolic resin, the catalyst dosage is less, the generation rate of the alkyl carbonium ions is low, and further the chloromethylation rate is low, but if the catalyst dosage is too much (exceeds the proportion), the concentration of the alkyl carbonium ions is rapidly increased in a short time, so that the chloromethylation reaction rate is too high, the cross-linking reaction among phenolic resin macromolecules can be promoted, the cross-linking is a dechlorination process, and the chloromethylation degree of the phenolic resin is reduced on the contrary at the moment.
In a further preferred embodiment, the chloromethylating reagent is added dropwise to the reaction system. The reaction rate can be controlled by the dropwise adding mode, and the phenomenon that the whole chloromethylation reaction rate is too high due to the generation of a large amount of alkyl carbonium ions is avoided, so that the cross-linking reaction caused by chloromethylation of a large amount of benzene rings on the macromolecules of the phenolic resin is avoided.
In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of the total weight of the phenolic resin, the catalyst and the chloromethylation reagent to the volume of the solvent I is 1 (2.5-4.0), and in this range, the solvent I can sufficiently dissolve the reaction raw materials, and the concentration of the raw materials is not too small, so that the chloromethylation reaction can be carried out at a high speed.
In a preferred embodiment, the temperature of the chloromethylation reagent is gradually increased in the dropping process, and the chloromethylation reaction of the phenolic resin is carried out for 4-10 h at 45-65 ℃, preferably for 5-8 h at 50-60 ℃.
In a preferred embodiment, after the reaction in step 1 is completed, the temperature is reduced to room temperature, a large amount of water is added into the reaction system, so that the chloromethylated phenolic resin is separated out from the organic solvent, and the chloromethylated phenolic resin is obtained by centrifugation or filtration, washing with water and drying.
In the step 2, reacting the chloromethylated phenolic resin with the azide in a solvent II to obtain the azide phenolic resin.
In a preferred embodiment, the azide compound is selected from sodium azide, potassium azide or acyl azide, preferably sodium azide.
In a preferred embodiment, the solvent II is selected from any one or more of N, N-dimethylformamide, N-dimethylacetamide, toluene, p-xylene and ethylbenzene, and is preferably N, N-dimethylformamide.
In a preferred embodiment, after the azide compound is added into the solvent II, the chloromethylated phenolic resin is added in a dropwise manner, and stirring is carried out during the dropwise addition process and the reaction process, so that the azide reaction is accelerated.
In a preferred embodiment, the molar ratio of the chloromethylated phenolic resin to the azide compound is 1 (1.5-4). The azide compound is excessive relative to the chloromethylated phenolic resin, so that the azide reaction is fully performed, and the reaction rate and the yield are improved.
In a preferred embodiment, the chloromethylated phenolic resin and the azide react at the temperature of 40-65 ℃ for 12-48 h.
In a preferred embodiment, the product is isolated after the reaction is complete. If the solvent II is water-soluble, a large amount of deionized water can be added into the reaction solution, stirred, kept stand, separated from solid matters, washed by the deionized water and dried to obtain the azide phenolic resin.
In the step 3, the azide phenolic resin and the graphene are mixed in a solvent III for reaction, and the modified phenolic resin material is obtained by separation after the reaction is finished.
In a preferred embodiment, the graphene is selected from unmodified graphene. Graphene which is widely used for material modification at present is graphene oxide, a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups are contained on the graphene oxide, the dispersibility of the graphene oxide in a solvent is better than that of unmodified graphene, however, the introduction of the oxygen-containing functional groups destroys the regular lattice structure of the graphene, and the irreversible change causes the conductivity of the graphene oxide to be poor and has loss in physical and chemical properties.
The unmodified graphene consists of benzene six-membered rings without any unstable bonds, has high chemical stability and excellent mechanical properties, but has weak interaction with other media, and strong van der Waals force exists between graphene sheets, so that aggregation is easily generated. The azide phenolic resin is reacted with graphene, so that the phenolic resin is grafted to the graphene, the mechanical property and the thermal property of the phenolic resin are enhanced, and the problem that the compatibility of unmodified graphene and the phenolic resin is poor is solved.
In a preferred embodiment, the solvent iii is selected from any one or more of N-methylpyrrolidone, N-dimethylformamide, N-dimethylacetamide, nitrobenzene, ethylene glycol or dimethyl sulfoxide, and the solvent iii is a high boiling point solvent to satisfy the reaction of the phenol azide resin and graphene at a higher temperature.
In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the azido phenolic resin to the graphene is 1 (0.001-0.1), preferably 1 (0.005-0.05), and more preferably 1 (0.005-0.02).
In a preferred embodiment, in order to make the azide phenolic resin and the graphene fully contact in the solvent III, the mixed system is subjected to ultrasonic dispersion, preferably by using 40-120 KHz ultrasonic waves for 15-40 min.
In a preferred embodiment, the azide phenolic resin and the graphene react at the temperature of 140-200 ℃ for 15-30 h, preferably at the temperature of 160-180 ℃ for 18-24 h.
In a preferred embodiment, the reaction is carried out under an inert atmosphere, which is nitrogen or argon, preferably nitrogen.
In a preferred embodiment, after the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is cooled and separated to obtain a solid material, and the solid material is washed and dried to obtain a final product. The separation mode comprises filtration or centrifugation, preferably at 5000-9000 rpm for 5-15 min. The cleaning solvent is selected from water, ethanol or acetone.
In step 1 of the present invention, the chloromethylation reagent can be prepared as follows: mixing alcohol, formaldehyde and a catalyst, reacting, and performing aftertreatment to obtain a product. The alcohol is the corresponding alcohol after the chloromethylation reagent, namely the long carbon chain chloromethyl alkyl ether is dechlorinated, namely ClCH2O(CH2)nCH3Corresponding to HO (CH)2)nCH3,(ClCH2O)2(CH2)nCorresponding to HOCH2(CH2)n- 2CH2OH。
In a preferred embodiment, the formaldehyde has a (mass/volume) concentration of 35% to 40%.
In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of thionyl chloride (SOCl)2) Phosgene (COCl)2) And phosphorus trichloride (PCl)3) Preferably, phosphorus trichloride.
In a preferred embodiment, the volume ratio of the alcohol, formaldehyde and catalyst is 100: (220-400): (120-200), and the molar ratio is 10: (25-50): (10-25).
In a preferred embodiment, since the reaction is exothermic, the addition of a catalyst such as phosphorus trichloride also gives off a large amount of heat, and the catalyst is selected to be added dropwise slowly with stirring, to facilitate control of the reaction temperature. Preferably, the reaction system is reacted in an ice-water bath.
In a preferred embodiment, the reaction system is reacted for 2-5 hours at a temperature of 10-25 ℃. The reaction for preparing the chloromethylation reagent is a homogeneous reaction, while the reaction product is not water-soluble, and the product is continuously separated out from a water phase reaction system along with the reaction, so that the synthesis reaction is favorably carried out, the separation of the product is convenient, and the purity of the product is high.

Experimental example 1 Infrared Spectroscopy
The phenol resin in comparative example 1 and the graphene grafted modified phenol resin material prepared in example 3 were subjected to infrared analysis, and the results are shown in fig. 3. In this figure, the characteristic peaks of the phenolic resin in comparative example 1 are as follows: 3336cm-1Is a stretching vibration of the associated hydroxyl group; 2922cm-1Is an asymmetric stretching vibration absorption peak of aliphatic-CH 2-; 1601cm-1~1458cm-1C ═ C stretching vibration peak specific to benzene ring skeleton; 1235cm-1The stretching vibration peak of oxygen on the phenolic hydroxyl and carbon on the benzene ring appears; 813cm-1、758cm-1The corresponding-CH out-of-plane bending vibration peaks of the tri-substituted benzene and the di-substituted benzene are stronger, which indicates that the products of the di-substituted benzene and the tri-substituted benzene are more. After the azide reaction, the reaction solution is at 2100cm-1The right and left parts of the complex present with-N3But the azide peak of the grafted product disappeared and was 1274cm-1A new small peak appears, and is supposed to be an absorption peak of carbon-nitrogen bonds generated by grafting the phenolic resin and the graphene.
Experimental example 2 XRD analysis
The phenolic resin material in the comparative example 1, the unmodified graphene and the material synthesized in the example 3 are subjected to XRD tests, and the XRD spectrum is shown in figure 4.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the XRD pattern of the phenolic resin is 17.8 °, 25.3 °, 31.1 ° and 44.5 ° diffraction peaks, the XRD pattern of the unmodified graphene is 26.5 ° diffraction peaks, and the XRD pattern of the material synthesized in example 3 has diffraction peaks at 17.8 ° and 26.5 ° simultaneously, which indicates that the graphene graft modified phenolic resin material is synthesized in example 3.
Experimental example 3 thermal stability
The thermal stability of phenolic resin materials has a large impact on their processing and use properties. The phenolic resin of comparative example 1 and the material synthesized in example 3 were subjected to TG curve measurement.
As shown in fig. 5, it can be seen from the following figure that the thermal decomposition temperature of the phenolic resin is 100 ℃ when the weight loss rate is 5%, while the thermal weight loss rate of the graphene/phenolic resin material is only 1.9%, and the thermal decomposition temperature is 166 ℃ when the thermal weight loss rate reaches 5%, and the difference between the two is 66 ℃. The weight loss rate of the phenolic resin is slow between 100 ℃ and 330 ℃, but is faster than that of the graphene/phenolic resin material between 166 ℃ and 460 ℃. The phenol formaldehyde resin has obvious thermal weight loss phenomenon between 330 ℃ and 800 ℃, and the corresponding graphene/phenol formaldehyde resin material has obvious thermal weight loss phenomenon between 460 ℃ and 800 ℃. It can also be seen that the graphene/phenolic resin material has a higher carbon residue rate than phenolic resin, and the weight loss rate of the graphene/phenolic resin material in the whole process is obviously much lower than that of phenolic resin. These show that the thermal stability of the material can be greatly improved after the phenolic resin is grafted on the surface of graphene. This is also much better than the thermal properties of graphene/phenolic resin materials prepared by physical blending as described in the literature. At 1000 ℃, the carbon residue of the phenolic resin is 44.6%, while the final carbon residue of the material synthesized in example 3 is 54.2%, and the thermal stability of the phenolic resin added with unmodified graphene is remarkably improved.
Experimental example 4 mechanical Properties
The materials prepared in examples 1 to 3 and comparative example 2 and the phenolic resin in comparative example 1 were subjected to mechanical property measurement, and the results are shown in table 1.
As can be seen from table 1, the breaking strength of the graphene-grafted phenolic resin material gradually increases with the increase of the content of graphene (within a mass ratio of graphene to phenol azide resin being 0.5-2: 100), and the breaking strength of the graphene-grafted phenolic resin material is significantly improved compared with that of a phenolic resin not grafted with graphene, and the breaking strength of the phenolic resin is significantly enhanced by unmodified graphene compared with graphene oxide.
