Description

폴리머 비드의 제조방법 {Preparation of polymer beads}Manufacturing method of polymer beads {Preparation of polymer beads}

본 발명은 모노머 팽윤방법에 의한 균일한 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 방법에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 현탁중합에 의해 입자크기가 1∼30㎛인 폴리머 비드를 제조하고, 이 폴리머 비드에 모너머, 가교제 및 개시제를 첨가하여 팽윤시킴으로써 최종적으로 1∼40㎛의 균일한 입자크기를 가진 폴리머 비드의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for producing uniform polymer beads by the monomer swelling method, and more particularly, to prepare polymer beads having a particle size of 1 to 30 µm by suspension polymerization, and to the polymer beads And finally to a method for producing polymer beads having a uniform particle size of 1 to 40 µm by adding and swelling an initiator.

통상 산업적으로 널리 사용되는 1∼40㎛ 크기의 입자를 가진 폴리머 비드의 제조방법으로는 현탁중합, 분산중합 및 유화중합 등이 있지만, 원하는 입자크기를 가진 균일한 입자분포를 가진 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 것은 용이하지 않다.In general, a method for preparing polymer beads having particles having a size of 1 to 40 μm widely used in industry includes suspension polymerization, dispersion polymerization and emulsion polymerization, but polymer beads having uniform particle distribution having a desired particle size are prepared. Is not easy.

현탁중합은 기계적 힘에 의하여 수용액상에 존재하는 단량체를 분산시켜 폴리머 입자를 제조하는 방법으로서, 이 방법에 의하여 제조된 폴리머 입자는 적어도 100㎛ 이상의 입자크기를 가지며, 기계적 힘에 의하여 입자들이 분산되어 있기 때문에 입자분포가 넓은 경향이 있다.Suspension polymerization is a method for producing polymer particles by dispersing the monomer present in the aqueous solution by mechanical force, the polymer particles produced by this method has a particle size of at least 100㎛ or more, the particles are dispersed by mechanical force As a result, the particle distribution tends to be wide.

따라서, 입자크기 및 입자분포를 조절하기 위해서는 별도의 장치가 요구되어지며, 이러한 장치를 사용하더라도 1∼40㎛ 정도의 입자크기를 가진 폴리머 비드는 얻을 수 있으나, 입자크기 분포가 넓어 균일한 입자를 가진 폴리머 비드를 얻기 힘든 단점이 있었으며, 이와 관련된 종래기술로는 미합중국 특허 제 4,017,670호, 제 4,071,670호, 제 4,085,169호 및 제 4,129,706호 등이 있었다.Therefore, in order to control the particle size and particle distribution, a separate device is required. Even when using such a device, polymer beads having a particle size of about 1 to 40 μm can be obtained, but the particle size distribution is wide so that uniform particles are obtained. There are disadvantages in that it is difficult to obtain the polymer beads having the above, and related arts include US Pat. Nos. 4,017,670, 4,071,670, 4,085,169, and 4,129,706.

또한, 분산중합은 중합되어지는 단량체가 용해되어지는 매질에서 중합이 이루어지기 때문에, 생성된 폴리머는 그 매질에 용해되어지지 않는다. 또한 이 방법은 응집 발생율이 높기 때문에 제조된 폴리머 비드의 가교도는 2% 미만이고, 10㎛ 이상의 입자크기의 폴리머 비드는 제조하기가 어려우며, 입자분포가 넓게 형성되는 단점이 있었다.In addition, since the dispersion polymerization is carried out in a medium in which the monomer to be polymerized is dissolved, the resulting polymer is not dissolved in the medium. In addition, since this method has a high incidence of aggregation, the degree of crosslinking of the prepared polymer beads is less than 2%, polymer beads having a particle size of 10 μm or more are difficult to prepare, and have a wide particle distribution.

그리고, 유화중합은 수용성 개시제와 유화제, 단량체를 사용하여 수용액 상에서 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 방법으로서 이와 관련하여, 미합중국 특허 제 4,522,953호에서는 유화중합에 의한 다공성 폴리스티렌 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 기술을 제시하였지만, 유화제 사용에 의해 입자분포는 매우 좁으나 1㎛ 이상의 입자크기를 가진 폴리머 비드를 제조하기 어렵다는 단점이 있었다.In addition, emulsion polymerization is a method of preparing polymer beads in an aqueous solution using a water-soluble initiator, an emulsifier, and a monomer. In this regard, US Patent No. 4,522,953 discloses a technique for preparing porous polystyrene polymer beads by emulsion polymerization. Particle distribution is very narrow by use, but has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to produce a polymer bead having a particle size of 1㎛ or more.

이에 본 발명자들은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 연구 노력하던 중, 현탁중합에 의해 입자크기가 1∼30㎛인 폴리머 비드를 제조하고, 제조된 폴리머 비드에 모너머, 가교제 및 개시제를 첨가하여 팽윤시킴으로써 가교도가 높고 1∼40㎛ 의 균일한 입자크기를 가진 폴리머 비드를 제조할 수 있다는 것을 알게 되어 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다.The inventors of the present invention, while trying to solve the above problems, while producing a polymer beads having a particle size of 1 ~ 30㎛ by suspension polymerization, swelling by adding a monomer, a crosslinking agent and an initiator to the prepared polymer beads The present invention was completed by knowing that polymer beads having a high degree of crosslinking and having a uniform particle size of 1 to 40 μm can be prepared.

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 좁은 입자크기 분포를 가지는 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 방법을 제공하는 데 있다.Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing polymer beads having a narrow particle size distribution.

이와같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 폴리머 비드의 제조방법은 이온교환수, 폴리머 안정제 용액에 단량체, 가교제 및 지용성 개시제 용액을 첨가하여 고속 교반 후 이 용액을 균질기(homogenizer)로 균질화한 다음 60∼90℃에서 중합하여 시드 폴리머 라텍스를 제조하는 단계; 및 상기 시드 폴리머 라텍스를 상온으로 하강시키고, 단량체, 가교제 및 지용성 개시제 용액을 적가하여 팽윤시킨 후 중합하여 입자크기 1∼40㎛의 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 단계로 구성된 것임을 그 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, the method of preparing the polymer beads of the present invention comprises adding a monomer, a crosslinking agent and a fat-soluble initiator solution to the ion exchange water and the polymer stabilizer solution, and then homogenizing the solution with a homogenizer after high-speed stirring. Polymerizing at ˜90 ° C. to produce seed polymer latex; And lowering the seed polymer latex to room temperature, swelling by dropwise adding a monomer, a crosslinking agent and a fat-soluble initiator solution, and polymerizing the same to prepare polymer beads having a particle size of 1 to 40 μm.

이와같은 본 발명을 더욱 상세하게 설명하면 다음과 같다.The present invention will be described in more detail as follows.

(1) 시드 폴리머 라텍스의 제조(1) Preparation of Seed Polymer Latex

본 발명에 따른 폴리머 비드를 제조하는 방법은 우선 현탁중합을 통해 시드 폴리머 라텍스를 제조하는 단계이다. 즉, 반응기에 이온교환수, 단량체, 가교제, 지용성 개시제 및 안정제를 투입하여 100∼1000 rpm의 고속으로 교반하여 프리혼합 용액을 제조하고, 이 용액을 반응기에서 토출하여 균질기(homogenizer)를 통해 안정한 입자형성 용액을 제조한다. 그 다음 이 용액을 다시 반응기에 투입하여 내부온도를 60∼90℃로 승온시켜 1∼30㎛의 입자크기를 가진 시드 폴리머를 제조한다.The method for producing the polymer beads according to the present invention is a step of first preparing a seed polymer latex through suspension polymerization. That is, ion-exchanged water, monomers, cross-linking agents, fat-soluble initiators and stabilizers are added to the reactor and stirred at a high speed of 100 to 1000 rpm to prepare a premixed solution, and the solution is discharged from the reactor to stabilize through a homogenizer. Prepare a particle forming solution. Then, this solution was added to the reactor again to raise the internal temperature to 60 ~ 90 ℃ to prepare a seed polymer having a particle size of 1 ~ 30㎛.

또한, 상기 프리혼합 용액을 제조함에 있어 충분히 고속으로 교반하지 않으면 균질기를 거친 후 안정하고 원하는 입자형성을 얻을 수 없게 된다.In addition, in the preparation of the premixed solution, if it is not stirred at high speed sufficiently, it is impossible to obtain stable and desired particle formation after passing through a homogenizer.

또한, 상기 균질기를 거치지 않고 프리혼합 용액을 고속 교반후 바로 중합시킬 경우 응집현상이 발생할 뿐만 아니라 100㎛ 이상의 입자분포가 매우 넓은 폴리머 비드가 제조되므로 주의해야 한다.In addition, when the premixed solution is polymerized immediately after high-speed stirring without passing through the homogenizer, not only agglomeration occurs but also polymer beads having a very large particle distribution of 100 μm or more are prepared.

(2) 폴리머 비드의 제조(2) Preparation of Polymer Beads

두 번째 단계로 상기 1단계에서 제조된 시드 폴리머 라텍스를 상온으로 냉각시킨 다음, 단량체, 가교제 및 지용성 개시제 용액을 적하하여 1∼10시간 동안 교반하여 팽윤시킨다. 그 후, 내부온도를 60∼90℃로 다시 승온시켜 최종 크기 1∼40㎛인 폴리머 비드를 제조한다.In the second step, the seed polymer latex prepared in Step 1 is cooled to room temperature, and then the monomer, crosslinking agent and fat soluble initiator solution are added dropwise, and stirred for 1 to 10 hours to swell. Thereafter, the internal temperature is raised to 60 to 90 ° C. to produce polymer beads having a final size of 1 to 40 μm.

2단계에서 사용되는 단량체, 가교제 및 지용성 개시제 용액은 1단계에서 형성된 입자분포가 넓은 가교된 시드 폴리머 비드 입자 사이로 침투하여 그 속에서 팽윤함으로써 입자를 안정하게 만든다. 또한 입자크기가 상이한 시드 폴리머 비드에 불균일 침투함으로써, 폴리머 비드의 입자크기를 균일하게 하는 역할을 한다.The monomer, crosslinking agent, and fat soluble initiator solution used in step 2 penetrates through the wide crosslinked seed polymer bead particles formed in step 1 and makes the particles stable by swelling therein. In addition, the non-uniform penetration of seed polymer beads having different particle sizes serves to make the particle size of the polymer beads uniform.

따라서, 상기 팽윤시간이 1시간 보다 적으면 단량체들이 효과적으로 침투하지 못하여 입자분포가 넓어지게 되고 응집현상이 발생되거나 원하는 구형의 입자를 얻기 힘들며, 또한 10시간을 초과하게 되면 생산성이 저하되는 문제가 있으므로, 팽윤시간은 1∼10시간, 바람직하기로는 3∼8시간이다.Therefore, when the swelling time is less than 1 hour, the monomers do not effectively penetrate and thus the particle distribution becomes wider, and agglomeration phenomenon or a desired spherical particle is difficult to obtain, and when the time exceeds 10 hours, there is a problem that productivity decreases. The swelling time is 1 to 10 hours, preferably 3 to 8 hours.

한편, 상기 각 단계에서 사용되는 이온교환수는 이온교환기를 거쳐 생성된질소기류 하에서의 저항치가 5MΩ이상인 순수로서, 전체 단량체에 대하여 100∼500 중량부로 사용한다.On the other hand, the ion-exchanged water used in each step is pure water having a resistance value of 5 MΩ or more under the nitrogen gas generated through the ion exchanger, and is used in an amount of 100 to 500 parts by weight based on the total monomers.

또한, 단량체로는 방향족 비닐계 단량체, 탄소원자수 1∼20 사이의 아크릴산 또는 메타크릴산 알킬에스터 단량체 및 탄소수 1∼20 사이의 아크릴산 또는 메타크릴산 플루오르알킬에스터 단량체 중에서 선택된 1종 이상의 것을 사용한다.As the monomer, at least one selected from an aromatic vinyl monomer, an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid alkyl ester monomer having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid fluoroalkyl ester monomer having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is used.

The content is 0.1 to 5.0 parts by weight based on the total polymer beads.
