Description

Preparation method of physical thermal expansion high-molecular foaming agent
Technical Field
The invention relates to a physical thermal expansion high-molecular foaming agent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Since the 21 st century, the development of ocean engineering, aerospace, engineering plastics, etc. has become one of the most interesting problems all over the world, and various countries have been paying more attention to the development and optimization of novel lightweight materials. In order to solve the problems of density and strength of the traditional material, the light material can well combine two contradictory characteristics of low density and high strength, and break through the limitation of low specific strength of the traditional material, at present, a method of adding a physical thermal expansion high-molecular foaming agent is adopted at home and abroad to prepare the light material.
The physical thermal expansion high molecular foaming agent is a high molecular particle which has a core-shell structure, the particle diameter is between 5 and 100um, the core is an inert hydrocarbon, and the shell is a thermoplastic polymer. When the microsphere is heated to a certain temperature, the polymer shell is softened, the inert hydrocarbon generates internal vapor pressure to promote the microsphere to expand, and the volume of the expanded particles can be increased to dozens or even hundreds of times of the original volume. After the particles are cooled, the polymer shell is not retracted, and the density is from 400-1200kg/m3Reduced to 20-30kg/m3
Since the advent of physical thermal expansion polymeric blowing agents, there has been an increasing level of emphasis on these agents. The physical thermal expansion high polymer foaming agent has the greatest advantages of light weight, small, uniform and controllable closed cell structure of the introduced material, and overcomes the problems of different pore sizes, temperature and time dependence during gas diffusion and the like generated in the foaming process of the material. Its another great characteristic is that it has uniform foaming ratio, can make the total density of the whole material reduce under the condition of not influencing the material performance, and make the surface of the formed material more beautiful. At present, the physical thermal expansion high molecular foaming agent is widely applied to the industries of coating printing, foam industry, engineering plastics, leather, papermaking, sealant, paint explosives, cable insulation layers and the like.
As early as the 60's of the 20 th century, Morehouse and Tetreault, the dow chemical, developed thermoplastic expanded microspheres encapsulating a liquid blowing agent using suspension polymerization technology. From the beginning of the 80 s of the 20 th century, a few companies such as aksunobel chemical company in sweden and Songban company in Japan have commercialized a technology for producing a thermal expansion microsphere polymer foaming agent. Over the years, various thermally expandable microsphere polymeric blowing agents have experienced an ongoing progression from manufacture to use. The research shows that the patent applications related to the thermal expansion microsphere high polymer foaming agent in the years 2002-2011 reach the peak, but most of the patents focus on the application of the thermal expansion microsphere high polymer foaming agent in various aspects, and surprisingly, only a small number of the patents discuss the synthesis preparation and the performance of the thermal expansion microsphere high polymer foaming agent. Especially, the research on the domestic physical thermal expansion polymer foaming agent is late, most of the attention points are focused on the application of the foaming agent, and the preparation method is neglected.
