摘要: 以有机环三磷腈碱(CTPB)作为催化剂,在温和条件下催化六乙基环三硅氧烷(E3)开环聚合(ROP),以及E3与1,3,5-三甲基-1,3,5-三(3,3,3-三氟丙基)环三硅氧烷(F3)开环共聚合,制备了聚二乙基硅氧烷(PDES)和含有不同三氟丙基甲基硅氧(F)单元摩尔分数(0~46%)的聚(二乙基-ran-三氟丙基甲基)硅氧烷(PDES-ran-PTFPMS)。采用凝胶渗透色谱、核磁共振(NMR)表征了聚合物的组成和结构,利用差示扫描量热(DSC)和微观接触角对聚合物的性质进行研究。结果表明:成功制得PDES-ran-PTFPMS。当F单元摩尔分数高于6%时,可以有效抑制PDES的低温结晶性,且PDES-ran-PTFPMS具有极低的玻璃化转变温度(Tg = −134 ºC)。含氟聚乙基硅氧烷薄膜的接触角测试结果表明,F单元的引入有效提高了聚乙基硅氧烷的疏水性及降低了油的浸润性。

Abstract: In this contribution, the ring-opening copolymerization (ROP) of hexaethylcyclotrisiloxane (E3), and the ring-opening copolymerization E3 and 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tri(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) cyclotrisiloxane (F3) was catalyzed by organic cyclotrisiloxane base (CTPB) under mild conditions. CTPB showed high catalytic activity for the polymerization of E3 and F3. Linear polydiethylsiloxanes (PDES) and poly(diethyl-ran-trifluoropropyl methyl) siloxanes (PDES-ran-PTFPMS) with different trifluoropropyl methyl siloxane group (F) (mole fractions: 0~46%) were successfully synthesized. The composition and structure of the PDES-ran-PTFPMS copolysiloxanes were characterized in detail by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and the glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallization behavior of the polymers were comprehensively analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, and the water-oil contact angle of fluorine-containing polyethylsiloxane film was investigated by microscopic contact angle test. The chemical positions of the resonance peaks in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (1H-NMR and 29Si-NMR) were analyzed, indicating that the PDES-ran-PTFPMS copolysiloxanes was successfully prepared. The results of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) indicated that the crystallization of polydiethylsiloxane at low temperature can be entirely inhibited by the introduction of tri(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)-methyl siloxane groups. The obtained PDES-ran-PTFPMS copolysiloxanes has a low glass transition temperature Tg (−134 ºC), has very excellent low temperature performance, and is an ideal precursor material for low temperature resistant rubber materials. When the contents of the methyl-tri(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)siloxane group are higher than 6.0%, the crystallization behavior was inhibited. The results of contact angle test of fluorine-containing polyethylsiloxane film demonstrated that the introduction of tri(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)-methyl siloxane groups into the PDES chain can effectively improve its hydrophobicity and decrease the oil wettability. -
