Lignin/styrene butadiene rubber composite solid particle and synthetic method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of rubber composite materials, and particularly relates to lignin/styrene butadiene rubber composite solid particles and a synthesis method thereof.
Background
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) is a random copolymer of butadiene and styrene. It is the backbone product of the first large variety of synthetic rubber and rubber industry, and is one of the rubbers which realize industrial production at the earliest. However, since the styrene butadiene rubber is a non-self-reinforcing rubber, the styrene butadiene rubber must be used in combination with a reinforcing agent, and the commonly used reinforcing agent includes carbon black, white carbon black, organic resin, lignin and the like, wherein the lignin is a natural organic polymer with an aromatic ring structure and is second to cellulose in nature, but no way for resource utilization of industrial lignin is found by people so far, and more than 95% of lignin is directly discharged into rivers or is burnt after concentration, so that environmental pollution and resource waste are caused. At present, researchers add lignin into styrene butadiene rubber to improve the mechanical properties of the rubber, such as tensile strength, stress at definite elongation, wear resistance and the like, improve the ultraviolet resistance and aging resistance of the rubber, and prolong the service life of rubber products.
In the traditional lignin/styrene butadiene rubber compounding process, lignin powder and styrene butadiene rubber are compounded in a mixing mode, but the method has the defects of uneven dispersion, easy agglomeration and the like of lignin particles in a rubber material, and the method preferably uses ultrafine lignin powder for improving the dispersibility, so that the ultrafine lignin powder is easy to float, pollution is brought to the operating environment, and potential safety hazards exist.
In order to solve the above problems in the process of compounding lignin and styrene butadiene rubber, research on co-precipitation of lignin and styrene butadiene rubber in liquid phase has become a hot spot in recent years. For example, patent CN102718995A discloses an industrial lignin reinforced rubber and a preparation method thereof, which is characterized in that: (1) comprises lignin dispersion, latex and a small amount of plasticizer and processing oil, or comprises multicomponent lignin dispersion, latex and a small amount of plasticizer and processing oil; (2) the lignin dispersion is taken as a lignin suspension in water, the mass part of the lignin is 5-30%, the multi-component lignin dispersion is a lignin and inorganic filler suspension in water, and the mass ratio of the lignin to the water is 5-30: 95-70; (3) in lignin dispersions and multicomponent lignin dispersions, hydroxymethylation of lignin modifies lignin. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing lignin, (2) preparing lignin dispersion, (3) preparing latex, (4) coprecipitating and coagulating, and (5) preparing industrial lignin reinforced rubber. The invention combines the lignin and the drying process of the rubber production process without reducing the physical and mechanical properties of the rubber compound, thereby reducing the power consumption of rubber mixing.
However, when liquid phase coprecipitation of the lignin/styrene butadiene rubber composite material is performed, due to the introduction of lignin molecules, on one hand, rubber particles are coated, and on the other hand, the lignin does not have a crosslinking characteristic, so that crosslinking between normal rubber particles is reduced, the particle size of the obtained lignin/styrene butadiene rubber composite material is too small, and the phenomena of glue leakage (the rubber particles fall from a chain belt gap) and glue flying (the rubber particles are blown up by drying air flow) can occur in the subsequent drying process of the belt type drying oven, so that equipment failure and rubber loss are caused. Therefore, no relevant report is provided on how to solve the problem that the colloidal particles are too small in the liquid phase coprecipitation process of the lignin/styrene butadiene rubber composite material.
