Technical Field
The invention belongs to a preparation method of microcapsules, relates to a method for preparing isocyanate microcapsules by mercaptan-isocyanate click chemical reaction, and particularly relates to a self-repairing microcapsule prepared by adopting an amine catalysis mercaptan/isocyanate click method and encapsulating aliphatic isocyanate with low activity by using aromatic isocyanate with high activity.
Background
Researchers imitate the self-repairing function of organisms to design self-repairing materials, and the self-repairing materials have the function of self-healing damage after being damaged. At present, self-repairing materials are gradually applied to exploratory applications (such as protective coatings of ships, submarines and aerospace vehicles) in various industrial fields. Microcapsule type self-repairing material, namely, microcapsules containing active repairing agents are embedded in a polymer material body in advance to realize the repair of matrix cracks. Compared with other methods for preparing externally-applied self-repairing materials, the method is simple to operate and mature in preparation technology; in addition, compared with the intrinsic self-repairing material, the microcapsule self-repairing material does not need to change the material structure, and has small influence on the material performance. The traditional methods for preparing microcapsules, such as in-situ polymerization, interfacial polymerization and solvent volatilization methods, and microfluid and electrostatic spraying methods which need special equipment, mainly have the following defects: 1, the preparation process is complex, the flow is long and the energy consumption is large; 2 special equipment is required to be built, and the cost is high. In addition, isocyanates are one-component repair agents in corrosion protection coatings that are difficult to coat.
The existing method for coating isocyanate mainly comprises a method for preparing isocyanate microcapsules by carrying out interfacial polycondensation reaction on isocyanate prepolymer and alcohol or amine, but the reactions need heating and have longer reaction time. The invention introduces the rapid and efficient mercaptan-click reaction into the field of isocyanate coating, and provides a method for coating low-activity isocyanate by using the activity difference of isocyanate through the reaction of mercaptan and high-activity isocyanate, and the method can be finished within 20min without external energy (heating, UV and the like). Provides a new method for simple, efficient and green coating of isocyanate.
