Silicone rubber foaming material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of foaming materials, in particular to a silicone rubber foaming material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Compared with the traditional impact-resistant material, the shear thickening material has excellent damping performance and reversible soft-hard conversion characteristics. In its natural state, a shear thickening material can maintain good flexibility and when impacted, it can harden rapidly against the impact.
The shear thickening materials can be largely classified into shear thickening gels and shear thickening fluids, wherein the shear thickening gels have more excellent structural stability and high and low temperature resistance characteristics. However, since the shear thickening gel has strong cold flow properties, it cannot maintain its original shape in a natural state. Therefore, in the conventional art, a porous material is often used as a skeleton to coat the shear thickening gel to give it a certain shape. Although simple and effective, the adsorption force between the shear thickening gel and the porous material is weak, so that the structural stability of the shear thickening gel is poor.
The silicone rubber and the shear thickening gel have good compatibility, and the blending material of the silicone rubber has good high and low temperature resistance, electrical insulation property, radiation resistance and chemical stability, and has excellent mechanical property and damping property. In addition, the foaming material prepared based on the blending material has the excellent performances of light weight, good recovery, compression resistance and the like, and is an ideal shock absorption and impact resistance material. However, the blend material of the shear thickening gel and the silicone rubber has strong self-adhesion, and the blend material is directly foamed, so that the foam wall is very easy to adhere after being repeatedly compressed in the use process of the obtained foam material, and irreversible deformation is caused.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on this, it is necessary to provide a silicone rubber foam material and a method for producing the same in view of the above-mentioned problems; the silicon rubber foaming material obtained by the preparation method is difficult to adhere when repeatedly compressed foam walls are used, has the advantages of high rebound, low compression deformation and the like, has excellent comprehensive performance, and can be better applied to the fields of shock absorption and shock resistance.

According to the invention, on one hand, by adopting the expanded microspheres as the foam body, not only can the excellent rebound resilience of the expanded microspheres be utilized to enable the compression deformation of the foam cells in the silicone rubber foaming material to be reversible and improve the resilience of the silicone rubber foaming material, but also the size, the number density and the distribution of the foam cells can be adjusted by changing the content of the expanded microspheres and the foaming temperature and time, so that the foam cells in the silicone rubber foaming material have controllability. On the other hand, the shear thickening gel prepared based on the polydimethylsiloxane, the boric acid and the derivatives thereof and the organic solvent has less impurity residues, higher boron content and more excellent shear thickening property, and is more beneficial to improving the impact resistance of the silicone rubber foaming material.

Detailed Description
The silicone rubber foaming material and the preparation method thereof provided by the invention are further described below.
The preparation method of the silicone rubber foaming material provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
s1, preparing polydimethylsiloxane, boric acid and derivatives thereof and an organic solvent into a polydimethylsiloxane solution, performing polycondensation reaction, and then removing unreacted boric acid and derivatives thereof and the organic solvent to obtain a shear thickening gel;
s2, mixing 1-10 parts by mass of the shear thickening gel with 100 parts by mass of vinyl-containing silicone rubber to obtain a silicone rubber base material;
s3, mixing the silicone rubber base stock with 1 to 20 parts by mass of nanocellulose, 1 to 10 parts by mass of expanded microspheres and 0.01 to 0.5 part by mass of organic peroxide cross-linking agent to obtain silicone rubber compound; and
and S4, performing preforming, crosslinking and foaming on the silicone rubber compound to obtain the silicone rubber foaming material.
Unlike the traditional solvent-free method for preparing the shear thickening gel, the shear thickening gel prepared by adding the organic solvent based on the polydimethylsiloxane, the boric acid and the derivatives thereof in the step S1 has fewer impurity residues, higher boron content and more excellent shear thickening property, and is more beneficial to improving the shock resistance of the silicone rubber foaming material.
Specifically, in the step of preparing the polydimethylsiloxane, the boric acid and the derivatives thereof and the organic solvent into the polydimethylsiloxane solution, the polydimethylsiloxane, the boric acid and the derivatives thereof and the organic reagent are preferably stirred at a rotation speed of 60rpm-720rpm for 1h-5h at a temperature of 20 ℃ to 60 ℃ to obtain the polydimethylsiloxane solution. Then, the polydimethyl siloxane solution is heated to 100-140 ℃ for polycondensation reaction, and the reaction is carried out for 6-12 h under the stirring speed of 60-480 rpm, thus obtaining the polyborosiloxane solution.

Wherein, in the polydimethylsiloxane solution, the mass fraction of the polydimethylsiloxane is 10% -15%, the mass fraction of the boric acid and derivatives thereof is 0.5% -2.5%, and the mass fraction of the organic solvent is 82.5% -89.5%.

In one embodiment, the boric acid and its derivatives are selected from at least one of boric acid, triethyl borate, preferably boric acid.
In one embodiment, the organic solvent is at least one selected from toluene and xylene, preferably toluene.
In the step S2, as the shear thickening gel does not participate in the crosslinking of the vinyl-containing silicone rubber, 1 to 10 parts by mass of the shear thickening gel and 100 parts by mass of the vinyl-containing silicone rubber are selected for mixing, the reduction of the crosslinking degree of the silicone rubber caused by the excessive addition of the shear thickening gel can be avoided, the mechanical property of the foaming material is improved, and the preparation cost of the foaming material is effectively reduced.

Specifically, the nanocellulose is selected from silane coupling agent modified nanocellulose, preferably polymethyltriethoxy oxysilane modified nanocellulose; the cross section diameter of the nanocellulose is 1nm-300nm, and the length is 10 mu m-4000 mu m.
Compared with noble metal catalyst, the invention has the advantages of innocuity, environmental protection and low cost when selecting the organic peroxide cross-linking agent. Specifically, the organic peroxide crosslinking agent comprises at least one of dicumyl peroxide, bis (tert-butylperoxyisopropyl) benzene and tert-butylcumyl peroxide.
In one embodiment, the nano cellulose and the organic peroxide cross-linking agent are sequentially added into the silicone rubber base material to be mixed for 20min-100min under the vacuum condition of 40-80 ℃ at the rotating speed of 40-160 rpm, so as to obtain the silicone rubber premix, then the expanded microspheres are added into the silicone rubber premix to be mixed for 10min-30min at the rotating speed of 30-80 rpm under the temperature condition of 30-80 ℃ so as to obtain the silicone rubber compound, and the silicone rubber compound is parked at normal temperature for not less than 24h.
In another embodiment, the nanocellulose, the organic peroxide cross-linking agent and the expansion microsphere are sequentially added into the silicone rubber base material for mixing for 20min to 100min at the rotation speed of 40rpm to 160rpm under the vacuum condition of 40 ℃ to 80 ℃, obtaining the silicone rubber premix, then mixing the silicone rubber premix for 10-30 min at the temperature of 30-80 ℃ and the rotating speed of 30-80 rpm to obtain the silicone rubber compound, and standing the silicone rubber compound for at least 24h at normal temperature.
The expanded microsphere is a thermoplastic hollow polymer microsphere, liquid alkane is filled in the expanded microsphere, when the expanded microsphere is heated at a certain temperature, the thermoplastic shell of the expanded microsphere is softened, and the liquid alkane in the expanded microsphere is heated and gasified, so that the volume of the expanded microsphere is rapidly increased, and cells are formed. Therefore, in the cross-linking foaming process of the step S4, by adopting the expanded microspheres as the foam body, not only the excellent rebound resilience of the expanded microspheres can be utilized to enable the compression deformation of the foam cells in the silicone rubber foaming material to be reversible and improve the resilience of the silicone rubber foaming material, but also the size, the number density and the distribution of the foam cells in the silicone rubber foaming material can be regulated by changing the content of the expanded microspheres and the foaming temperature and time, so that the foam cells in the silicone rubber foaming material have controllability.
Specifically, the cross-linking foaming temperature is 150-200 ℃.
In order to obtain a finished product with a regular shape, the silicone rubber compound can be preformed at 30-60 ℃ and then crosslinked and foamed.
The invention also provides the silicone rubber foaming material obtained by the preparation method.
The silicon rubber foaming material obtained by the preparation method is difficult to adhere after repeatedly compressing the foam wall in the use process, has the advantages of high rebound, low compression deformation and the like, has excellent comprehensive performance, and can be better applied to the fields of shock absorption and impact resistance.

Comparative example 1 differs from example 1 in that the shear thickening gel was prepared using a solvent-free process, with no toluene added during the preparation.
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 differs from example 2 in that the shear thickening gel was prepared by a solvent-free process, with no toluene added during the preparation.
Comparative example 3
Comparative example 3 is different from example 1 in that nanocellulose is not added to prepare a silicone rubber foam material.
Comparative example 4
Comparative example 4 is different from example 2 in that the silicone rubber foaming material was prepared without adding nanocellulose.
Comparative example 5
Comparative example 5 is different from example 1 in that 10 parts by mass of hollow glass microspheres are used instead of 10 parts by mass of expanded microspheres.

TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003561575300000101
As is clear from Table 1, the transmittance of example 1 was 89.2%, the transmittance of example 2 was 85.3%, and the transmittance was equivalent to that of the hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (90.1%), and the purity was extremely high. In contrast, comparative examples 1 and 2, because the formulation for preparing the shear-thickening gel was solvent-free, the formulation produced a shear-thickening gel containing a large amount of unreacted boric acid particles, which had a light transmittance as low as 8.1%.
The shear thickening gels obtained in examples 1-2 and comparative examples 1-2 were tested for their rate dependence by a rotameter and showed that: during shearing, the storage modulus of the shear-thickening gels obtained in example 1 and example 2 were each from 10 as the angular frequency increased from 0.01rad/s to 500rad/s 2 MPa is increased to 10 6 MPa, exhibiting excellent shear hardening characteristics; whereas the storage modulus of the shear-thickening gel obtained in comparative example 1 was from 10 2 MPa is increased to 10 5 The storage modulus of the shear-thickening gel obtained in comparative example 2 is only from 10 MPa 3 MPa is increased to 10 5 MPa, which is due to the fact that the formulations of comparative examples 1 and 2 for preparing the shear-thickening gels have no solvent, the viscosity of the system is high, the reaction rate is low, and the products contain a large amount of free boric acid, resulting in poor shear hardening properties of the resulting shear-thickening gels.

In contrast, in comparative examples 3 to 4, since nanocellulose was not added, the density, mechanical properties, hardness, and rebound rate of the silicone rubber foam material obtained in comparative examples 3 to 4 were all reduced as compared with those in examples 1 to 3 to which nanocellulose was added; comparative example 6 since the addition amount of the shear thickening gel was excessive, the tensile strength, hardness and rebound resilience of the silicone rubber foam obtained in comparative example 6 were reduced as compared with example 1.
The silicone rubber foams obtained in examples 1 to 3 were able to absorb up to 89.1% of the impact force at 2500N, exhibited excellent impact resistance, and, during shearing, the storage modulus of the silicone rubber foams obtained in examples 1 and 2 was increased from 10 as the angular frequency increased from 0.01rad/s to 500rad/s 4 MPa is increased to 10 6 The good shear hardening properties are maintained at MPa. In contrast, the comparative examples 1-2 had poor shear hardening properties due to the absence of a solvent in the formulation for preparing the shear thickening gel, and the silicone rubber foam material obtained in comparative examples 1-2 was able to absorb as low as 70% of the impact force at 2500N, and therefore, the impact resistance of the silicone rubber foam material obtained in comparative examples 1-2 was poor.
