Description

POLYVINYLAMINE-BASED MATERIAL WITH STABILITY CHARACTERISTICS IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER AND PROCESS FOR ITS PRODUCTION
This invention relates to a polyvinylamine-based material with stability characteristics in the presence of water and process for its production.
It is known that polyvinylamine (PVAm) is a cationic polyelectrolyte, which posses the highest concentration of amminic groups amongst the various polymers which make up this category, such as polyallylamine, polyethylenimine and chitosan. Due to this intrinsic characteristic, polyvinylamine can be advantageously used in different sectors, including that of modifying surfaces and/or e/o interfaces.
Due to its considerable reactivity, it is possible to create links of the polyvinylamine with various kinds of supports or polymers. In the case of processing paper, the presence of PVAm on the cellulose fibres allows a better adhesion between the latter to be obtained, thereby improving the resistance of paper film to abrasion. This behaviour is particularly useful in the case of packaging. Again in this sector, polyvinylamine is suitable for modifying polymers in order to render the surfaces antibacterial, thereby improving the conservation di food.
Moreover, polyvinylamine is often able to combine the adhesion of two surfaces with characteristics which are not immediately compatible (for example, silicone and rubber), but which are polar.
Another sector where PVAm has interesting properties its that of membranes. In fact, thanks to the presence of numerous amminic groups, this polymer is a possible compound for improving the transport of CO2 from one side of the membrane to the other. Moreover, since there are many amminic groups similar CO2, this compound could be incorporated in membranes for separation of the CO2, thereby facilitating its absorption.
One of the advantages of PVAm, which is appreciated in many of its applications, is its high solubility in water. For some sectors, such as, for example, that of membranes, the high solubility in water of PVAm becomes, however, a disadvantage, since the membranes must often work in damp conditions, and maybe actually in water. In fact, in the presence of high contents of water, PVAm gels, or even dissolves, thereby destroying the membrane.
This leads to the solution proposed according to this invention, which aims to provide a mechanically stable material based on PVAm which can be used as a membrane for the separation of CO2, as an additive for cellulose-based products, protective coating, adhesive agent, substrate for biological applications, etc.
These and other results are obtained according to the invention with a PVAm-based material with the addition of one or more compounds which contain laminar particles and preferably graphene and its derivatives, obtained by means of a thermal treatment of a mixture of PVAm and of said one or more compounds, which remain stable both in the presence of high moisture content and in direct contact with water.
In order to obtain the mechanical stability of the PVAm it is mixed with compounds which contain laminar particles and preferably graphene and its derivatives (few layer graphene, graphene nanoplates, graphene CVD, nano graphite, graphene oxide, graphite oxide, graphene nanoribbons, graphene quantum dots, etc) which have been prepared or are in solutions with dispersants which contain at least:
- an ether group, preferably with a number of repetitive units from 5 to 400 units, and more preferably an ethoxyl group, and
- at least one substituted aromatic group,
- where the substituent of the aromatic group can be a functional group such as: amines, amides, imides, amide isocyanates, sulphuric groups, phosphoric groups, carboxylates, phenolics, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, anhydride esters, styrenes, nitroaromatics, pyrimidine pyridines, imidazoles, azobenzenes, anthracene naphthenes, diphenols, halides, alkanes and alkenes with or without further aromatics present in chain.
In particular, the material according to the invention has been shown to be particularly efficient when obtained using graphene according to the teachings of patent EP2890633.
The preparation of the material according to the invention can alternatively be obtained with the normal mixing techniques used industrially or directly during the production of the laminar material.
The material obtained in this way is then treated at a temperature of between 20 and 500 °C, preferably between 80 and 250 °C, in order to obtain an optimum interaction between PVAm and the compound which contains the laminar material and its dispersant.
The product obtained in this way is mechanically stable even if it is immersed in water for months and it can perform its functions in sectors such as, by way of a non-limiting example: the production of membranes (supported or not), coatings to improve the mechanical properties, coatings to functionalize surfaces, materials for biological applications, adhesives, inks for offset, rotogravure, inkjet, spray printing.
The aim of the invention is to provide a polyvinylamine-based material with stability characteristics in the presence of water and process for its production which allows the limitations of the prior art polyvinylamine- based materials to be overcome and to obtain the technical results described above.
A further aim of the invention is that said polyvinylamine-based material and said process for its production can be implemented with substantially low costs, with regard both to the production costs and the management costs.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a polyvinylamine-based material with stability characteristics in the presence of water and process for its production which are simple, safe and reliable.
A first specific object of this invention therefore relates to a process for the production of a polyvinylamine-based material, comprising the following steps:
a) mixing of polyvinylamine together with one or more compounds which contain laminar particles dispersed in a dispersant containing:
- an ether group, and
- at least one substituted aromatic group, where the substituent of the aromatic group can be a functional group such as: amines, amides, imides, amide isocyanates, sulphuric groups, phosphoric groups, carboxylates, phenolics, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, anhydride esters, styrenes, nitroaromatics, pyrimidine pyridines, imidazoles, azobenzenes, anthracene naphthenes, diphenols, halides, alkanes and alkenes with or without further aromatics present in chain,
to obtain a polyvinylamine-based mixture:
b) treatment of said polyvinylamine-based mixture at a temperature of between 20 and 500 °C.
Preferably, according to the invention, said one or more compounds which contain laminar particles are selected amongst graphene and its derivatives, said ether group is a group comprising from 5 to 400 base units and said ether group is an ethoxyl group.
Moreover, again according to the invention, said temperature treatment is preferably performed between 80-250 °C, for a time of at least 5 seconds.
Further, according to the invention, after said mixing step and before said treatment in temperature step, there is preferably a step wherein said polyvinylamine-based mixture is deposited in the form of a membrane or coating; and, after said mixing step and before said treatment in temperature step, there is a step wherein said polyvinylamine-based mixture is mixed with adhesive mixtures, and more preferably said adhesive mixtures are mixtures based on vinyl, acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy and silicone adhesives.
A second specific object of this invention relates to a polyvinylamine- based material which can be obtained by means of the above-mentioned process.
A third and last specific object of this invention is the use of the above-mentioned polyvinylamine-based material for the production of membranes, additives for the paper sector, additives for paints, substrates for biological applications, hair gel, antibacterial products, additives for adhesives.
The invention is now described, by way of example and without limiting the scope of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

The solution obtained in this way was stirred for 30 min. The solution was deposited, by spin coating, on a PTFE support and dried at 50 °C for one night. It was all subsequently treated at 180 °C in air for 1 hour.
Example 3

The solution obtained in this way was stirred with magnetic stirrer for 1 hour. Subsequently, the solution was immersed in a sonicator bath (LAVO ST3, 0.5kW) for 15 mins. The solution was spread, by means of a casting knife, on a microporous polysulfone support and dried at 50 °C for one night. It was all subsequently treated at 150 °C in air for 2 hours.

The solution was stirred with a magnetic stirrer for 1 hour and then sonicated in a water bath (LAVO ST3, 0.5 kW) for 30 mins. The solution was sprayed on cellulose acetate filter paper and dried at 60 °C for one night. The film was subsequently treated at a temperate of 1 10 °C in a vacuum for 1 hour.

A continuous film was obtained in this way with a thickness of approximately 60 micrometres. The above- mentioned film was treated at 150 °C for 1 .5 hours. A permeameter was used to measure the permeability of gas at a moisture content equal to 85% at 35 °C with a pressure in the order of 60 Barrer for carbon dioxide and 2 Barrer for nitrogen. The membrane was found to be stable for the entire duration of the test, which was 30 days.
Example 8 The material obtained from examples 1 -5 was formed in a continuous film and then treated at 200 °C for 5 minutes. A quartz spring balance was used to measure the absorption in mass of water vapour of the sample at 35 °C at 100% of relative humidity in the order to 0.5 g of water per dry gram of film. The sample, whilst increasing in size, remained hanging on the hook of the balance, thereby demonstrating the retention of the good mechanical properties.
The present invention is described by way of example only, without limiting the scope of application, according to its preferred embodiments, but it shall be understood that the invention may be modified and/or adapted by experts in the field without thereby departing from the scope of the inventive concept, as defined in the claims herein.
