Description

Fluororubber raw rubber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fluororubber materials, and particularly relates to fluororubber raw rubber and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Fluororubbers are synthetic high-molecular polymers containing fluorine atoms in the main chain or side chain carbon atoms, and are usually vulcanized in practical use. Peroxide (or radical) cured fluororubbers were originally developed and commercialized by dupont in the united states in the early 70 s of the 20 th century, and then developed by japan large gold company and the asu-wei company. The rubber has excellent performances of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and the like peculiar to fluororubber, also has outstanding performances of hot tearing property, superheated steam resistance, organic medium resistance and the like, and has wide application in the fields of electronic and electric industry, chemical industry, mechanical industry, national defense industry and the like.
The industrial unvulcanized fluororubber is prepared by emulsion polymerization of fluoromonomers (such as vinylidene fluoride (VDF), hexafluoropropylene (HFP), tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and the like) and vulcanization point monomers (such as CSM) in a certain proportion by taking water as a reaction medium. For example, CN 104098730A discloses a fluororubber with low Mooney and high fluorine content and a preparation method thereof, and the fluorine content of the fluororubber prepared by introducing special modified monomers and adjusting the proportion of other monomers is up to more than 72%, and the Mooney viscosity is less than or equal to 30.CN 105111353a discloses a preparation method of special low temperature resistant fluororubber, which makes the prepared fluororubber resistant to low temperature of minus 40 ℃ by adopting photochemical reaction and special fluoromonomer.
However, the fluororubber prepared by the method has the advantages of low molecular weight, wide molecular weight distribution, and poor processing fluidity and vulcanization performance in the processing process. In recent years, with the expansion of applications of fluororubbers, the requirements on the performances of fluororubbers are increasing, and the existing fluororubbers cannot meet the market demands. Therefore, a fluororubber material with higher molecular weight, narrower molecular weight distribution and better vulcanization performance and processing fluidity is to be researched to meet the requirements of practical application.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the invention aims to provide fluororubber raw rubber and a preparation method thereof. Compared with fluororubber raw rubber prepared by using a single initiator, the fluororubber raw rubber has higher molecular weight and narrower molecular weight distribution, and good vulcanization performance and processing flowability.
To achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a raw fluororubber, comprising the steps of:
taking a main monomer and a vulcanization point monomer as raw materials, taking water as a reaction medium, and performing emulsion polymerization reaction in the presence of an initiator and a chain transfer agent to generate fluororubber raw rubber;
wherein the initiator comprises a first initiator and a second initiator, the first initiator is added when the chain is initiated, and the second initiator is added after the polymerization reaction reaches the chain growth period;
the first initiator comprises ammonium persulfate and potassium persulfate in a mass ratio of (1-4) 1 (e.g., may be 1:1, 1.2:1, 1.5:1, 1.8:1, 2:1, 2.2:1, 2.5:1, 2.8:1, 3:1, 3.2:1, 3.5:1, 3.8:1, or 4:1, etc.);
the second initiator comprises ammonium persulfate and potassium persulfate in a mass ratio of 1 (2-5) (e.g., may be 1:2, 1:2.2, 1:2.5, 1:2.8, 1:3, 1:3.2, 1:3.5, 1:3.8, 1:4, 1:4.2, 1:4.5, 1:4.8, or 1:5, etc.);
the mass ratio of the first initiator to the second initiator is 1 (0.5-3), for example, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:1.2, 1:1.5, 1:1.8, 1:2, 1:2.2, 1:2.5, 1:2.8 or 1:3, etc.
The main monomer in the present invention refers to a main monomer used for synthesizing the fluororubber raw rubber by polymerization, that is, a monomer except for a vulcanization point monomer among all monomers used for preparing the fluororubber raw rubber. The vulcanization point monomer refers to a monomer providing vulcanization points for the raw fluororubber. The time to reach the chain extension period can be determined according to methods conventional in the art, typically 30-50 minutes after chain initiation in the present invention.
Compared with fluororubber raw rubber prepared by using a single initiator, the fluororubber raw rubber prepared by using the method has the advantages that the first initiator and the second initiator with specific components and proportions are respectively adopted in a chain initiation period and a chain growth period, the decomposition rate of the initiator is effectively controlled and complemented by utilizing the synergistic effect of the first initiator and the second initiator, the chain initiation rate can be controlled, the chain growth rate is improved, the number of free radicals generated in different reaction periods is balanced, and other materials, process conditions and steps are combined, so that the fluororubber raw rubber with higher molecular weight, narrower molecular weight distribution and better vulcanization performance and processing fluidity is obtained. If the molecular weight distribution of the obtained polymer is wider, the low molecular weight polymer is increased, and the low molecular weight polymer chain is shorter, so that the content of the crosslinking point monomer in the low molecular weight polymer is relatively smaller in the peroxide vulcanization process, and the low molecular weight polymer cannot form a compact crosslinked network after vulcanization. And the presence of low molecular weight polymers can also cause rubber sticking phenomena and the like due to the relatively high temperature (160-200 ℃) during the vulcanization process.
