Polysulfide sealant with room-temperature self-repairability and high elongation
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polysulfide sealant with room temperature self-repairability and high elongation, belonging to the technical field of sealants.
Background
The sealant prepared by taking polysulfide rubber as a main base material has good elasticity, water resistance, oxidation resistance, ultraviolet radiation resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and other properties, and is widely applied to the aspects of sealing buildings, oil tanks and the like. The polysulfide sealant material inevitably generates microcracks and local damage inside and outside the polysulfide sealant material due to the influence of external environment and mechanical fatigue in the long-term use process, the tiny defects are difficult to detect and repair, stress concentration points are easy to form, the overall mechanical property is reduced, and the service life is shortened. Therefore, the polysulfide sealant with self-repairing performance is developed, the maintenance and rework operation can be simplified, the material use is prolonged, and the resources are saved. The literature (Macromolecules, 2011, 44 (8): 2536-2541) reports that epoxy-terminated polysulfide resin is reacted with pentaerythritol tetra-3-mercaptopropionate to prepare a polymer with self-repairing properties, the tensile strength and the elongation at break of which are respectively 0.5MPa and 70 percent; the disconnected samples are mutually contacted at the temperature of 60 ℃ and are self-repaired for 30-60 minutes, the tensile strength is 0.35-0.45 MPa, and the elongation at break of the material is 45-65%. The literature (Chemistry of Materials, 2014, 26 (6): 2038-; the disconnected sample is repaired at room temperature for 12-24 hours under the catalysis of tri-n-butylphosphine, the tensile strength is 0.16-0.21 MPa, and the elongation at break is 66-100%. However, the elongation at break of the self-repairing polysulfide polymer material prepared by the method is less than 120 percent and is lower than that of the general polysulfide sealant, so the self-repairing polysulfide polymer material is not suitable to be used as the sealant.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention relates to a polysulfide sealant with room temperature self-repairability and high elongation.
The invention comprises the following components: 100 parts by weight of thiol-terminated liquid polysulfide rubber with a number average molecular weight of 2500-7000; 5-15 parts by weight of epoxy resin, wherein the epoxy resin is one or a mixture of aromatic or alicyclic epoxy resin; 2-8 parts by weight of an aromatic epoxy glycidyl ether modified liquid polysulfide oligomer; 0.05-5 parts by weight of 2, 4, 6-tris (dimethylaminomethyl) phenol (DMP-30) accelerator. Curing conditions are as follows: mixing, and curing at room temperature for 14 days, or at 50 deg.C for 2 days, or at 75 deg.C for 1 day. The sealant has the main properties: the tensile strength is 0.5-1 MPa, and the elongation at break is 350-800%; the disconnected sealants are contacted with each other at room temperature for 12-72 hours, and self-repairing of material performance can be realized, wherein the tensile strength is 0.45-0.95 MPa, the elongation at break is 320-720%, and the self-repairing rate reaches 80-97% (the self-repairing rate refers to the ratio of the tensile strength or the elongation at break after repairing to the tensile strength or the elongation at break of the material before cutting).
Wherein the liquid polysulfide oligomer modified by aromatic epoxy glycidyl ether is synthesized as follows: 100 parts by weight of terminal mercapto group liquid polysulfide rubber, 1000-5000 parts by weight of number average molecular weight, adding 5-20 parts by weight of aromatic epoxy glycidyl ether, uniformly stirring, reacting at 60-80 ℃ for more than 24 hours under the protection of nitrogen, monitoring reactant 2250cm by infrared spectroscopy-1When the content of the sulfydryl is reduced to be less than 0.5 percent or the strength of the sulfydryl absorption peak is not changed any more, stopping heating, and cooling to obtain the liquid polysulfide oligomer modified by the aromatic epoxy glycidyl ether. The aromatic glycidyl ether is preferably one or a mixture of several of the following compounds.
The room temperature self-repairability principle and the advantages of the polysulfide sealant of the invention are as follows: (1) the room temperature self-repairability of the polysulfide sealant is realized by adding the aromatic epoxy glycidyl ether modified liquid polysulfide oligomer. The main chain of the modified liquid polysulfide oligomer is polysulfide resin which is the same as the main material of the sealant; the end capping agent is aromatic epoxy glycidyl ether and is well compatible with curing agent epoxy resin. After the modified liquid polysulfide oligomer is added, the modified liquid polysulfide oligomer is easy to diffuse in a polysulfide sealant crosslinking network, so that the creep property of a sealant system chain segment is enhanced, the contact exchange probability of disulfide bonds between chain segments of a material section is improved, the formation of a new chain segment of the polysulfide network is facilitated, new crosslinking points are added, the room temperature self-repairability is improved, and the self-repairing rate reaches 80-97%. (2) The tensile elongation of the polysulfide sealant is 350-800%, and compared with the reported polysulfide polymer with self-repairing property, the polysulfide sealant has higher tensile elongation; the tensile elongation of the sealant can be regulated and controlled by changing the addition amount of the liquid polysulfide oligomer, and the application requirements of different occasions are met. (3) The polysulfide sealant of the invention also has room temperature processability: and (3) small fragments of the sealant with the diameter of less than 0.5cm can be remolded into a film at the die pressing temperature of 5-10 MPa for 12-72 hours, so that the reprocessing and recycling of the material are realized. (4) The polysulfide sealant has the advantages of easily obtained raw materials, simple synthesis and mild reaction conditions, and has good application prospect in the preparation of self-repairing materials and recycled materials.
