Description

A kind of acrylic ester emulsion polymerization method of emulsifier-free
Technical field
The present invention relates to the water-and acrylate emulsion polymerisation process, the acrylic ester emulsion polymerization method that particularly relates to a kind of emulsifier-free, the water dispersible acrylic ester emulsion of environmental protection and public nuisance free can be provided, its resin emulsion particle diameter is little and the outward appearance that is evenly distributed is good, proportion is a bit larger tham water, low acid value, the storage stability is superior, and permeate well is easily constructed.The water tolerance of its dry coating is good, and tensile strength is good and wear resistant is superior.
Background technology
Traditionally, acrylic ester emulsion be with acrylic monomer in the aqueous solution, adopt low molecular weight emulsifier to react through emulsion polymerization, to monomer, water and/or solvent, initiator, emulsifying agent, under the effect and mechanical stirring of emulsifying agent, make monomer in water or other solvents, be dispersed into milk sap and carry out radical polymerization and get.If but in the time of need to making polymer solids, then must breakdown of emulsion, the multistep formality such as washing, dehydration, drying, production cost is high; And the impurity such as emulsifying agent is difficult for eliminating in the polymeric articles of gained, and affects electric property etc., and improper.
Resulting emulsion is when drying, and emulsifying agent easily oozes out in polymkeric substance, and pollute the surface of acrylic ester emulsion and reduce and other materials between Bonding strength, also inapplicable.
React caused problem for solving emulsifying agent participation emulsion polymerization, in patent documentation 1 (TOHKEMY 2006-206907 number), putting down in writing the non-ionic surfactant acrylic ester synthesizing emulsions such as use Triton X-100 (polyethyleneglycol octyl phenyl ether), polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene glycol decyl phenyl ether, though help anti-environmental pollution processed, but the compound of these Environmental Hormones is harmful, and is restricted in the use.
When usually carrying out emulsion polymerization, monomer is less in the solubleness of aqueous phase, be difficult for making drop to migrate to micella (micelle), give hydrotropy and need to add the organic solvents such as acetone or Virahol, also someone attempts adding co-emulsifier and under high-speed stirring, makes monomer be dispersed into the micron order monomer droplet in water and be made for main locus of polymerization.That is so-called mini-emulsion polymerization, to solve the problem of monomer indissoluble.
Above-mentioned fine emulsion polymerization can solve the problem of monomer indissoluble preferably, someone adopts oil-soluble initiator to make directly initiated polymerization in drop of monomer, monomer does not need by the transition process of drop to micella, and directly droplet nucleation is avoided the undissolved problem of monomer.
Adopt the compound emulsifying agent that is formed by ionogenic surfactant and long chain aliphatic alcohol or long chain alkane by the people, make monomer in miniemulsion, form stable nano-liquid droplet (30~500nm).Because the pressure difference between the large small droplets of the osmotic pressure that ionogenic surfactant and compound emulsifying agent produce counteracting monomer, reduce the monomer diffusion between the different size drop, thereby greatly improve the stability of small droplets, make miniemulsion obtain enough kinetic stabilities.Make by water, oil, tensio-active agent and auxiliary agent, can the thermodynamically stable milk sap of spontaneous formation.
But in polymerization process, change along with the water in the composing system, solvent, emulsifying agent and assistant for emulsifying agent or polymeric reaction temperature, can make surfactant molecule in solution, mutually be transformed into the structure of oil O/W, water W/O and doubly-linked ideotype (bicontinue) B.C three types in oil in water owing to the micella hydrophilic, that lipophilic group produces, form that median size is little, surface tension is low, the wettability perviousness is extremely strong, the better polymer micro-emulsion of stability.
In patent documentation 2 (Japanese kokai publication hei 7-331208 communique), in the presence of the macromolecule emulsifier of pointing out to consist of for principal constituent at reactive emulsifier, with styrenic and/or (methyl) alkyl acrylate (B) and vinylformic acid and/or methacrylic acid anionic property monomer (C), emulsification is composed glutinous agent resin and must be composed glutinous agent resin emulsion, with the water-based adhesive composition that contains acrylic ester polymer emulsion and/or sticking agent and form with latex.
But previous reaction emulsifying agent (A) refers to the usage ratio that has carbon-to-carbon double bond to have the interfacial agent of hydrophilic group and hydrophobic group in the molecule and accounts for the formation monomer component up to 10~50wt%, and needs in addition to compose glutinous agent resin participation reaction.
How to avoid emulsifying agent to participate in the problem points that reaction causes, the emulsion polymerization process or the part of resulting polymers that do not add emulsifying agent in the reaction process fully or only add micro-emulsifying agent (its concentration is less than critical micella concentration C MC) have the feature of macromolecule emulsifier, are the trend of the times of emulsion polymerization.This is the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization that does not add conventional emulsifier, can get the emulsion particle of surface cleaning, single dispersion, avoids simultaneously emulsifying agent on the impact of environment.
In addition, in patent documentation 1, when pointing out the acrylic ester synthesizing emulsion, water-solublely increase glutinous resin and do not use emulsifying agent to carry out letex polymerization by using, can improve the stability of freezing of acrylic ester emulsion, and can be after freezing thaw the time can re-use, satisfy these physical property fully with synthetic can making once, though the effect that shortens the operation stage is arranged.But adopt to increase glutinous resin be water-soluble, make the latex film shortcoming water tolerance of gained, and be not suitable for the coating aspect.
Wish solves the problem points of water tolerance, should from latex film in ionogen and the relevant latex colloidal particle stability of other low molecular content set about.And the latex colloidal particle stability is mainly determined by the surfactivity oligomer, and latex micelle surface charge density is larger, and then stability is better; The micelle surface stability still depends on the wetting ability of latex micelle particle surface, and wetting ability is larger, and then stability is better; This is that polarity because of the latex micelle causes particle surface and aqueous phase interface to interact reducing the Gibbs free energy at interface, enables to improve due to the stability of emulsion micelle particle.
Therefore avoiding adopting the pollution of non-ionic surfactant generation and the problem that co-emulsifier solves the monomer indissoluble, and do not add the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of conventional emulsifier, and when improving emulsion polymerization small droplets stability and improved the stability of latex micelle by the surfactivity oligomer, and the emulsion particle of surface cleaning, single dispersion, avoid simultaneously emulsifying agent on the impact of environment, be the problem that the present invention needs to be resolved hurrily.
