Preparation method of polyurethane/cellulose multifunctional shape memory polymer material
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a shape memory polymer material, in particular to a preparation method of a polyurethane/cellulose multifunctional shape memory polymer material.
Background
Polymeric shape memory materials are a class of stimulus-responsive materials that rely on a change in shape. The stimuli that induce the shape memory effect may be temperature, current, magnetic field, pH, humidity, light, etc. The material has the characteristics of large deformation and large-range adjustable mechanical property, and has the advantages of low price, light weight and easy processing and forming. In recent years, shape memory polymers show great application prospects in the field of intelligent materials due to excellent properties of the shape memory polymers, such as intelligent sensors, intelligent textile materials, the slow release direction of biomedical drugs and great application in the field of aerospace. Polyurethanes (SMPU) are shape memory polymers with hard and soft segments, which have the advantage that the shape memory function can be adjusted or changed by controlling the ratio of the hard and soft segments or by introducing other groups. SMPU has excellent mechanical property and good biocompatibility, the designable range of the memory temperature is wide, the deformation quantity is large, the shape memory effect is good, the processability is good, but the defects of slow shape recovery speed, poor repeated memory effect, low mechanical strength, single response function and the like exist due to the phase separation of soft and hard sections, and the traditional shape memory polyurethane material can not meet the requirements of the traditional shape memory polyurethane material in some fields such as aerospace and the like. The problems of improving the mechanical strength, the shape recovery rate, preparing the multi-response functional material and the like so as to widen the application field of the material are always needed to be solved.
Cellulose is an inexhaustible renewable resource. The cellulose has excellent physicochemical properties of high modulus, large specific surface area and the like, and compared with synthetic polymers, the cellulose also has the advantages of complete degradation, no toxicity, no pollution, easy modification, good biocompatibility, renewability and the like, is considered as a main raw material of world energy and chemical industry in the future, and is expected to replace glass fiber and other synthetic fibers. At present, a plurality of scientific researchers strengthen the polyurethane material by using cellulose, and a series of remarkable results are obtained, and the strength and the modulus of the polyurethane material are greatly enhanced due to the rigid three-dimensional hydrogen bond network formed by the introduction of the cellulose. However, most of the materials have a greatly reduced toughness while using cellulose to toughen polyurethane, so that how to well maintain the shape memory function of the polyurethane under the condition of controlling the polyurethane phase separation degree and prepare a polyurethane material with both strength and toughness to meet the requirements in the fields of aerospace and intelligent sensors is very demanding.
Rhodamine is an ideal material which has excellent optical properties, low cost and good stability and is often used as a fluorescent material and a biological probe. The compound has a great application prospect in the aspects of biosensors and drug slow release, but the compound is hardly reported to be used as a fluorescent agent and a structural component of a high polymer material so as to regulate and control the physical and chemical properties of the material.
