Background technology
Vinylbenzene-acrylic ester emulsion has many outstanding advantages, photostabilization, weathering resistance, resistance to acids and bases and erosion resistance as excellence, be widely used at aspects such as coating, tackiness agents, but because vinylbenzene-acrylic ester emulsion has shortcomings such as tint retention, water tolerance and tack difference.The organo-siloxane main chain is the Si-O-Si key, has the kindliness of height, and its high and low temperature resistance is good, and surface energy is low and have excellent water-resistance.
Adopt high-low temperature resistant, the low polyfunctional group organosilicon functional monomer that reaches water-tolerant of surface energy that vinylbenzene-ACRYLIC EMULSION is carried out modification, and it is made nanoemulsions, then organosilicon modified styrene-acrylate nano emulsion coating can significantly improve the hardness of filming, tensile strength, ventilation property, wear resistance, sticking power, anti-stickly put forth effort, water tolerance, chemical solvent resistance, scrub resistance, weathering resistance and contamination resistance.
At present, vinylbenzene-acrylic ester emulsion is carried out in the research of modification at polyfunctional group organosilicon function monomer, usually adopt mechanical blending or means such as grafting copolymerization process, segment copolymerization method and interact network method, as US4491650, day disclosure special permission communique [putting down] 02127458, EP297505 etc., but these methods all are solvent polymerization method basically.The emulsion copolymerization method of adopting is also arranged, as the CN1319616A[publication number], the CN1251843[publication number] etc., but that obtain all is conventional emulsions (latex particle size is greater than 100nm).
Along with requirement on environmental protection improves day by day, various countries are strict day by day to the regulation of VOC quantity discharged, and the exploitation water-borne coatings has become coating researchist's goal in research.Emulsion polymerization modified phenylethylene-acrylic ester emulsion mainly is to utilize the organosilicon function monomer contain vinyl-functional or performed polymer and vinylbenzene, acrylic ester monomer to carry out emulsion copolymerization, but both at home and abroad about organic siloxane modified vinylbenzene-acrylic ester emulsion polymeric present Research, remain in some problems from present.As owing in the letex polymerization existence of water is arranged, hydrolysis-condensation reaction can take place in the alkoxyl group in the organo-siloxane, has a strong impact on the stability in storage of polymer emulsion; Because there are huge spread in organo-siloxane and vinylbenzene, acrylate on molecular structure and polarity, can being separated etc. in various degree appear because of compatibility problem, therefore to the selection of comonomer difficulty relatively.Adopt that conventional the organic siloxane modified vinylbenzene of emulsion polymerization synthetic-acrylic ester emulsion stability is bad, the organo-siloxane addition is little, is difficult for and other monomer copolymerization.
