Table 1 shows the results of the performance tests of comparative examples 1 and 2.
TABLE 1
The polyurethane in the application example was prepared using the bio-based polyurethane chain extender prepared in example 1 of the present invention, which contains only a single imine bond; the polyurethane in the comparative example uses biomass vanillin as a raw material, firstly prepares vanillin dimer, and then completes the preparation of a chain extender by reacting with ethanolamine, wherein both ends of the vanillin dimer are imine bonds. The ratio of the polyether polyol to the isocyanate and the amount of the biobased chain extender used in the preparation of the two polyurethanes in the application examples and the comparative examples was the same. As can be seen from Table 1, the mechanical strength of the two polyurethanes is not very different and is substantially the same. And cutting off sample strips of the two polyurethane materials by a blade, and then completing self-repairing of the sample within 4 hours at 60 ℃. Tests show that the self-repairing efficiency of the two materials can reach higher levels of 94.68% and 95.74% respectively. The material can realize self-repairing under mild conditions, and can meet most of use requirements.
In addition, the material is placed in a hydrochloric acid solution with the concentration of 0.1mol/L for 24 hours, most of samples can be degraded, and the degradation rate of the samples can reach 83.56%. The degradation condition of the surface material is mild, and the degradation rate can reach a higher level. Thereby greatly reducing the pollution degree of the waste materials to the environment.
Taken together, the polyurethane of the application examples has an imine bond content of only half that of the comparative examples, but the degradation rate of the first damaged self-repairing efficiency is equivalent to that of the comparative examples, which proves that the polyurethane prepared by using the chain extender prepared by the invention can maintain excellent self-repairing performance and degradation performance. However, as the repair times increase, after ten damaged repairs are performed, the strength of the polyurethane prepared by the comparative example is only 48.67% compared with the original strength, the self-repair efficiency of the polyurethane is greatly reduced, and the repair efficiency of the polyurethane prepared by the application example is still at a higher level and reaches 88.46%. In the process of repairing multiple damages, because the two ends of the vanillin dimer in the comparative example are imine bonds, the vanillin dimer also has stronger cohesive energy, and the vanillin dimer gradually crystallizes and precipitates in the processes of breaking and recombining the imine bonds, so that the loss of the imine bonds is caused, and the self-repairing efficiency is greatly reduced. In the application embodiment of the invention, the chain extender structure only contains a single imine bond, so that the problem that the self-repairing efficiency is affected due to the reduction of the imine bond caused by the loss of small molecular substances in the repairing process is avoided, the repeated repairing times of the material can be greatly increased, and the service life of the material is further prolonged. The chain extender can be prepared by using biomass vanillin as a raw material at a lower temperature, and the raw material and various solvents used in the chain extender can be recycled, so that the cost can be greatly reduced, the pollution degree to the environment can be reduced, and the chain extender has the potential of large-scale production.
The biomass vanillin is used as a raw material, the preparation of the bio-based chain extender containing imine bonds can realize repeated self-repair of the material for many times, the self-repair performance is not reduced along with the damage-repair cycle times, the safety reliability and the service life of the material under the high-loss environment are improved, and the application of the bio-based raw material and the degradability can also reduce the dependence on fossil raw materials and relieve the environmental pollution problem.
Therefore, the bio-based polyurethane chain extender prepared by the invention not only can degrade the material, but also can endow the material with multiple self-repairing performance, and prolongs the service life of the material.
