Description

Method for preparing PDMS film by coaxial electrostatic spray deposition
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing a PDMS film by electrostatic spraying, in particular to a method for preparing a PDMS film by coaxial electrostatic spraying deposition.
Background
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a common membrane separation material. The membrane formed by crosslinking the PDMS polymer chain can be used for recycling organic matters in water, treating VOCs in gas and coupling alcohol fermentation and membrane separation. The current commercial PDMS membranes are prepared by a coating method, and the thickness of the PDMS membranes is generally more than 10 mu m, so that the permeation flux of the membranes is low. Taking 5 wt% ethanol aqueous solution as an example, the membrane flux is generally lower than 1000 g m at 40 DEG C -2 h -1 . The low flux of the PDMS membrane can lead to the defects of large filling area, high equipment investment and the like of the membrane, and the industrial large-scale separation requirement is difficult to meet.
Electrostatic spray deposition is a more advantageous method of film formation than coating. The electrostatic spraying can accurately regulate and control key parameters such as the structure, the morphology and the like of the membrane on the micro/nano scale. In a steady spray regime, the monodisperse droplets produced by the taylor cone spray pattern range in size from a few nanometers to hundreds of microns. Under the synergistic effect of the flow field-temperature field-and the electric field, the micro-nano liquid drops directionally move towards the substrate and stably deposit on the surface of the substrate, and finally, the micro-nano ultra-thin film is formed. For example, mcfitcheon et al produced a single layer of about 15 nm ultrathin polyamide membrane with a surface roughness of less than 2nm using electrostatic spraying, significantly improved water permeability and desalination efficiency with the desired selectivity ensured. In addition, the polymer film is prepared by adopting electrostatic spraying, and the large-scale preparation of the film can be realized by simply amplifying the substrate. Chinese patent (CN 202110095371.2) describes an electrospray solution formed by dissolving polyamine/polyol monomers and polybasic acid chloride monomers/polybasic acid chloride and nanomaterial additive mixtures in a single/mixed organic solvent, respectively, and then atomizing and depositing the solution into films, respectively. Furthermore, chinese patent (CN 201880062762.0) describes a slurry that can be used for electrostatic spray deposition, comprising a solvent, a first polymer dissolved in the solvent, and polymer particles comprising a second polymer and dispersed in the solvent. The slurry is allowed to deposit stably on the substrate by electrostatic spraying and forms a film with a granular and microporous structure.
In the process of preparing PDMS films, it is difficult to work with the electrostatic spray described above. Mainly characterized in that if PDMS polymer and cross-linking agent are premixed and stirred, and then are injected into an electrostatic spray nozzle, the size of sprayed fog drops is large, the dispersibility is poor, the fine regulation and control capability on a deposited active layer is greatly weakened, even the nozzle is blocked, and the spraying process is not sustainable. If electrostatic spraying is used to alternately deposit PDMS polymer and crosslinking agent on a substrate, a delay of crosslinking reaction is caused, and too short a reaction time may result in insufficient crosslinking and poor film forming performance.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a method for preparing the PDMS film by coaxial electrostatic spray deposition, which realizes the accurate control of the thickness and the surface morphology of the PDMS film, effectively reduces the thickness of the PDMS film and improves the permeation flux of the PDMS film.
The main technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a method for preparing a PDMS film by coaxial electrostatic spray deposition, which is characterized by comprising the following main steps.
(1) Electrospray solution preparation of PDMS polymers.
According to the mass parts, 1 part of PDMS monomer and 9 parts of solvent are placed in a container, and after 50 min of stirring in a magnetic stirrer, a proper amount of polar soluble substances are added, and uniformly stirred for 5 min, so as to obtain an electrospray solution of the PDMS monomer.
(2) Electrospray solution preparation of the crosslinking agent.
Taking 1 part of PDMS in the step (1) as a standard, taking 0.1-1 part of a cross-linking agent, taking 0.01 part of a catalyst and 9-9.9 parts of a solvent according to parts by mass, placing the mixture in a new container, and uniformly stirring for 5 min to obtain an electrospray solution of the cross-linking agent.
(3) And preparing the macromolecule separation membrane by coaxial electrostatic spray deposition.
And (3) respectively connecting the two electrospray solutions obtained in the step (1) and the step (2) to two sides of the coaxial spray head. The two solutions are delivered by a syringe pump at a flow rate of 0.6-1.5 ml h -1 The distance between the spray head and the substrate film was set to 3-8 cm, and a constant high-voltage electric field of 5-9 kV was applied. The spray head circularly scans above the base film, and the moving speed is 0.2-6 mm s -1 . And (5) circulating for a certain number of times to obtain the formed PDMS film. And (3) placing the film in an oven at 60-120 ℃ and drying 8 h to obtain a PDMS film finished product.
In step (1), the PDMS polymer may be hydroxyl-terminated or vinyl-terminated. The hydroxyl-terminated PDMS polymer uses dibutyl tin dilaurate as a catalyst, and the vinyl-terminated PDMS polymer uses platinum as a catalyst.
In the step (1) and the step (2), the solvents of the two solutions may be the same or different. The solvent is based on a nonpolar organic solvent including, but not limited to, n-heptane, isooctane, toluene, pentane, chloroform, and the like.
The polar substance added in the step (1) may be added to the vessel of the step (2) alone. Importantly, the solution incorporating the polar material requires a shell attached to the coaxial spray head.
The relative proportions of the two solutions in step (1) and step (2) can also be suitably adjusted depending on the choice of the particular solvent and catalyst, as well as the experimental requirements.
For step (3), in the coaxial spray device, the PDMS polymer solution may be either a shell or a core, and it is recommended that the PDMS polymer solution be a shell.
The base film in step (3) should have a porous structure. Pore structures of the base film include, but are not limited to, finger pores, mesh pores, and the like. Materials from which the base film is constructed include, but are not limited to, polymeric films, metallic films, ceramic films, and the like. The pore size of the base film is in the range of 5 nm-10 μm. And plugging the pore canal of the base film by adopting a template agent before spraying, and removing the template solvent after spraying.
In the technical scheme of the invention, the membrane structure can be regulated and controlled by changing the operating conditions such as spray voltage, spray height, spray speed, spray cycle number and the like. The regulation and control of the membrane structure can also be realized by changing the concentration of the PDMS polymer solution, the concentration of the cross-linking agent solution and the proportion between the polymer and the cross-linking agent.
Compared to prior art solutions, the present study has the following advantages.
(1) The invention has the advantages of easy obtaining of the equipment operated, simple preparation process of the membrane, application to large-area spray deposition and hopeful realization of large-scale industrial separation application.
(2) The technology can adopt a coaxial electrostatic spray deposition method, enhances the diffusion mass transfer of solutes, optimizes the crosslinking reaction of monomers, improves the crosslinking rate of the monomers, and obviously improves the crosslinking density of the separation membrane. The stability of the membrane separation and the service life will be significantly improved.
(3) The micron-sized charged liquid drops generated by electrostatic spraying are utilized to realize the precise control of the surface appearance, and the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties and selective adsorptivity of the membrane can be regulated.
(4) The preparation method realizes micron-scale fine regulation. The good dispersion performance of the liquid drops ensures the uniform distribution of the film liquid and ensures the uniform thickness of the selective layer. By changing the cycle spraying times, the controllable growth of the separation membrane can be realized, and the advantage of precisely controlling the membrane thickness is played. The method can greatly reduce the thickness of the membrane and remarkably improve the permeation flux of the membrane.
(5) The PDMS membrane prepared by the method can be used in the field of molecular separation, including but not limited to alcohol-water separation, removal of VOCs in water, gas separation, fermentation and membrane separation coupling and other processes.
