Preparation method of shape-stable phase-change material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of phase change heat storage (cold accumulation), and particularly relates to a flexible phase change heat storage (cold accumulation) material which is resistant to migration and deformation and prepared by gelation of a phase change heat storage (cold accumulation) material.
Background
In phase change heat storage (cold storage) material applications, in order to meet the requirements of different application fields, a variety of phase change materials have been found to meet the temperature requirements of different application fields. For example, the phase-change material applied to the field of low-temperature preservation comprises inorganic salt solution with the phase-change temperature of-30-24 ℃, paraffin, polyethylene glycol (PEG), organic alcohol and the like; the paint is applied to air-conditioning energy conservation and building constant temperature environments, and contains inorganic salt hydrate, paraffin, PEG, organic acid and the like. These phase change heat storage (cold storage) materials have solid-liquid transition before and after phase change, and therefore these phase change materials are collectively called solid-liquid phase change materials. Solid-liquid phase change materials which are not subjected to any coating (loading) and gelation modification are liquid above the phase transition temperature, and in order to prevent the solid-liquid phase change materials from leaking in the using process, the following three types of methods are mainly adopted at present: the solid-liquid phase-change material is packaged by a plastic container or bag, the shape-stable phase-change material is prepared by physical adsorption or capacity increasing of the solid-liquid phase-change material, and the solid-liquid phase-change material with reactivity, such as PEG, is converted into the solid-solid phase-change material by polyurethane synthesis through chemical reaction. However, the current methods such as packaging the phase change material in the plastic container have the disadvantages of extra weight of the container, increased transportation cost, poor recycling of the container, high use cost, and the like. Flexible polyethylene plastic bags are widely used to package inorganic phase change cold storage agents such as ice bags; although the problem of plastic containers is solved, when the polyethylene flexible package is applied to encapsulation of solid-liquid phase change materials such as paraffin, organic alcohol and the like, the polyethylene and other flexible package materials have poor barrier property, organic phase change material molecules always permeate outwards in the storage and use processes, and transportation objects are easily polluted. In severe cases, the penetrated organic micromolecular phase change material can also generate fire and other hidden dangers under the electrostatic action. In addition, the existing flexible polyethylene packaging bag has poor deformation resistance, particularly after a large amount of phase-change materials are loaded and sealed, the problem that a large amount of liquid is gathered at the lower end and only a small amount of phase-change materials are arranged at the upper end easily occurs due to the influence of gravity, the uniform distribution of the phase-change materials is not facilitated, the problem of nonuniform temperature distribution and the like is caused, and partial medicinal products are caused to lose efficacy. The problem of leakage of the solid-liquid phase change material can be solved by adopting an adsorbent such as a porous material or a high specific surface powder material to adsorb the solid-liquid phase change material, but the traditional cheap porous material such as expanded graphite, silicon dioxide, wood powder and the like has low load capacity (generally only 100-200%) on the solid-liquid phase change material, so that the enthalpy value of the shape-stable phase change material prepared by the method is low. In recent years, in order to increase the loading capacity of the solid-liquid phase change material and realize a high phase change enthalpy value, inorganic aerogel materials such as mesoporous carbon materials and graphene prepared by a sacrificial template method, an ice template-freeze drying method and the like are reported in succession, and the inorganic aerogel material has a very high loading capacity (more than 1000%) of the solid-liquid phase change material and a phase change enthalpy value almost equivalent to that of the solid-liquid phase change material. However, the materials have the disadvantages of high manufacturing cost, incapability of realizing industrialized application and the like. In fact, when the load of the solid-liquid phase-change material in the shape-stable phase-change material exceeds 900%, the phase change enthalpy value of the solid-liquid phase-change material is almost consistent with that of the original solid-liquid phase-change material, the load is continuously increased, the lifting space of the phase change enthalpy value is not large, and the solid-liquid phase-change material is obviously leaked just like water in sponge after the material is extruded due to the excessive load. Although the solid-solid phase change material can well solve the leakage of the solid-liquid phase change material, the solid-liquid phase change material also has the problems of low phase change enthalpy value and the like, which are mainly caused by the fact that the solid-liquid phase change material is grafted to a molecular chain and is influenced by a crosslinking system, and the crystallization of a phase change molecular chain segment is hindered and is incomplete.
Therefore, the development of a packaged shape-stable phase-change material system with high load (more than 400%), excellent barrier property and deformation resistance has important significance for phase-change heat storage (cold accumulation) systems, particularly for cold chain transportation of pharmaceuticals, fruits, seafood and the like at present.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects and shortcomings of the existing phase change material, the invention provides a method for constructing a shape-stable phase change material with high solid-liquid phase change material load capacity by adopting a solid-liquid phase change material self-template method, and a phase change heat storage (cold accumulation) material system is constructed by adopting a multi-layer composite flexible packaging material with a grid structure to package the shape-stable phase change material. According to the method, solid-liquid phase-change material molecules crystallize like spherical, flaky or needle crystals in the crystallization process of the organic solid-liquid phase-change material to form a rejection effect on other molecules, so that a high-molecular coating material is effectively concentrated among the crystals, and a network-shaped cross-linked high-molecular structure is further formed through a cross-linking reaction, so that the shape-stable phase-change material with high solid-liquid phase-change material loading capacity (or coating rate) is realized; meanwhile, in order to enable the phase-change heat storage (cold accumulation) system to have the deformation resistance, the material is packaged in a flexible blocking packaging material with a grid structure to form the phase-change heat storage (cold accumulation) system with high phase-change enthalpy value, migration resistance and deformation resistance.

Then loading the mixed solution into a composite packaging material which is provided with grids and is migration-resistant, sealing and then placing the composite packaging material below the phase change temperature of the phase change material at 0-20 ℃ and keeping the temperature for 12-30h, so that the thermosetting polymer material prepolymer or the crosslinkable polymer material and the corresponding crosslinking agent are "excluded" from the crystals by the crystallization of the phase change material, and concentration enrichment of the prepolymer or the crosslinkable polymer material and the corresponding crosslinking agent is formed outside the crystals, thus being beneficial to forming a polymer gel network between the phase change material crystals, and being beneficial to reducing the dosage of the gel material, namely improving the loading capacity of the phase change material and the phase change enthalpy value of the shape-stable phase change material. And finally, placing the system at 40-120 ℃, and enabling the prepolymer or the crosslinkable high polymer material to fully react with a corresponding crosslinking agent to form a gel network and coat the phase-change material, so that the phase-change material with high load capacity, high phase-change enthalpy and stable shape can be obtained.

In the phase-change material, the paraffin with the phase-change temperature of 0-140 ℃ is selected as the paraffin, and the esterification products of organic alcohol, organic acid, higher fatty acid and alcohol are capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, dodecanol, tetradecanol, cetyl alcohol, propyl palmitate, isopropyl stearate and butyl stearate.
The mass ratio of the SBS or the SEBS to the peroxide cross-linking agent to the phase-change material is 100:0.1-1.0: 300-1000.
