A solution of polyglycol maleate terephthalate in an unsaturated monomer or oligomer; 25 to 100 parts by weight, rosin and 1 to 7 parts by weight. Succinic acid.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the production of artificial amber based on unsaturated polyester and rosin and can be used as heat-resistant coatings, composite materials, molded articles.

Natural amber is a complex mixture of organic substances, namely volatile terpenes and sesquiterpenes, soluble diterpenoids (alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, resin acids) and insoluble cross-linked polymer, which is 75-80% of the mass of amber.

For natural amber, the inconsistency of the chemical composition is characteristic. A distinctive feature of Baltic amber, succinite, and amber from other deposits is the content of significant amounts of succinic acid (3-8 wt.%).

The closest in technical essence is the composition for artificial amber, which includes a solution of polyglycolmaleinate phthalate in an unsaturated monomer or oligomer and rosin. Amber includes an initiating system - peroxide and a curing accelerator.

The method for obtaining artificial amber consists in mixing a solution of polyglycol male terminal terephthalate in an unsaturated monomer or oligomer followed by curing. The curing is carried out with an initiating system at room temperature for 90 days. A material similar in properties with natural amber is obtained (melting point, density, high gloss after polishing).

The disadvantage of the known technical solution is the duration of the curing process, the non-technological process due to the use of explosive peroxides, insufficiently high values ​​of hardness, heat resistance, resistance to organic solvents.

The technical object of the invention is to increase the hardness, heat resistance, resistance to organic solvents, simplify the curing process.

The problem is solved by the fact that the composition for artificial amber, including a solution of polyglycol-maleate titanium phthalate in an unsaturated monomer or oligomer, and rosin, additionally contains succinic acid, with the following composition ratio, mass parts:

  • A solution of polyglycol malnate-phthalate in an unsaturated monomer or oligomer 100
  • Rosin 25-100
  • Succinic acid 1-7

The stated task is also solved by the fact that in the process for obtaining artificial amber, consisting in mixing a solution of polyglycolmaleinate phthalate in an unsaturated monomer or oligomer and rosin, followed by curing, succinic acid is additionally used, the components of the composition are mixed and the mixture is cured -radiation at a radiation dose of 8-20 Mrad at room temperature.

In Table. 1 shows the elemental composition of artificial amber at different weight ratios of resin and rosin.

COMPOSITION FOR ARTIFICIAL AMBER AND THE METHOD OF OBTAINING ARTIFICIAL AMBER

In the IR spectra of artificial amber (according to the invention), there are absorption bands characteristic of natural amber: 1140, 1160, 1250, 1740 cm -1 (absorption bands of stretching vibrations C = 0 and C-O-C groups of esters); 940 cm -1 (absorption band of deformation vibrations of OH carboxyl group); 1700-1710 cm -1 (vibrations C = O of the carboxyl group); 3450 cm -1 (stretching vibrations of OH carboxyl group); 885, 1410, 3090 cm -1 (the absorption bands of the valence and deformation vibrations of the C-H of the unsaturated bond of the type CR 1 R 2 = CH 2 , 995, 1420, 1660, 1800, 3090 cm -1 (absorption bands of the unsaturated bond -CH = CH 2 ), 1380, 1455, 2875, 2930 cm -1 (bands of deformation and stretching vibrations of СН in the groups СН 2 and СН 3 ).

In Table. 2 presents data on the physicochemical properties of artificial amber, depending on the conditions for its production. Radiative polymerization of pure rosin (see, example 1 of Table 2) leads to the formation of a product similar to the initial rosin for brittleness and solubility in organic solvents, but with a higher melting point. Radiative polymerization of a mixture of resin and rosin at a ratio of 1: 1 (see, example 2 of Table 2), and leads to the formation of a brittle product, but less soluble in alcohol, ether, turpentine. The introduction of succinic acid into the starting composition increases the hardness and thermal stability of the polymer product and reduces its solubility in organic solvents. According to its physico-chemical properties, this artificial amber is close to the hedanite, a variety of Baltic amber, which is more fragile (hardness 1.5-2 on the Mohs scale) and greater solubility in organic solvents compared to succinite.

Table continuation

As the amount of resin in the original composition increases to a resin / rosin ratio of 2: 1 (see Examples 12-22 of Table 2), a solid, transparent polymeric material is formed. The use of succinic acid as a component of the original composition increases the hardness, thermal stability, and decreases the solubility in organic solvents of the resulting polymeric material (see Examples 13, 14, 19-22 of Table 2). According to its physicochemical properties, this artificial amber is close to succinite. It is easily processed and polished.

The introduction of succinic acid into the starting composition at a resin: rosin ratio of 3: 1 and 4: 1 (see Examples 25, 33-36, 41-44) increases the thermal stability, hardness of artificial amber, and reduces its solubility in organic solvents. This composition of the mixture makes it possible to obtain artificial amber, which is close to or identical with succinite in its physico-chemical properties, and in terms of thermostability, hardness and resistance to organic solvents superior to natural amber (see Examples 33, 41).

Thus, the composition for artificial amber according to the invention and the method for its preparation allows to obtain transparent artificial amber with increased hardness, heat resistance, resistance to organic solvents, application of the radiation curing method, simplifies the technology of artificial amber preparation.
