Inorganic filler-toughened, Reinforced Polypropylene mixture and preparation method thereof
The present invention relates to a kind of adopt Inorganic Fillers Filled have excellent toughness and inflexible polypropylene composite and preparation method thereof concurrently.
The toughness reinforcing common employing of polymkeric substance is with polymkeric substance and elastomer blended method, and its shortcoming is in toughness reinforcing, and the rigidity of material significantly descends.The compound rigidity that improves of polymkeric substance and filler, but the toughness of material is descended.On the other hand, the molecular weight of polymkeric substance has very big influence to toughness, and along with the decline of molecular weight, toughness significantly reduces, and therefore is difficult to obtain having concurrently the material of high workability and high tenacity.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of existing remarkable toughening effect, can keep Inorganic Fillers Filled polypropylene composite of good rigidity or high workability and preparation method thereof again.
Polypropylene composite of the present invention contains polypropylene, mineral filler and coupling agent.Mineral filler wherein is the compounded mix that process white and other mineral filler are constituted; Coupling agent comprises silane coupling agent and other coupling agent.
Said other mineral filler can be one or more in lime carbonate, talcum powder, mica, wollastonite, kaolin, aluminium hydroxide, the magnesium hydroxide; Said other coupling agent can be one or more in stearic acid and its esters, titanate ester, the aluminium esters of gallic acid coupling agent.
The ratio of process white and other mineral filler is generally 3: 7~9: 1 (wt) in the said compounded mix.When other mineral filler surpasses when a kind of, can arbitrary proportion between them.The ratio of silane coupling agent and other coupling agent is generally 4: 6~8: 2 (wt) in the said coupling agent.When other coupling agent surpasses when a kind of, can be arbitrary proportion between them.
Also can contain polypropylene other resin in addition in the mixture of the present invention, with further increase toughness.These other resins comprise high density polyethylene(HDPE) (HDPE), new LDPE (film grade) (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or polystyrene (PS).
Polypropylene in the mixture of the present invention (PP) can be the homopolymer of propylene or the multipolymer of propylene and ethene.
The amount of the contained composition of mixture of the present invention is by weight percentage: polypropylene 10~95 (being preferably 60~90); Other resin 0~20; Filler adds coupling agent 5~90 (being preferably 10~40), and wherein the amount of coupling agent is that 0.5~2%wt of amount of filler (is preferably 1~2%wt); The total amount of polypropylene and other resin is no more than 95 (preferably being no more than 90).
The preparation method of mixture of the present invention is: earlier surface treatment being carried out in mineral filler, specifically is that compound inorganic stuffing is heated to 90~130 ℃, adds silane coupling agent earlier, and high-speed stirring 2~5 minutes adds other coupling agent again, continues to stir 2~5 minutes; Then surface treated filler and resin one being reinstated common process and equipment (as twin screw extruder, single screw extrusion machine, Banbury mixer or two roller mills etc.) mediates, extrudes and make required toughness reinforcing, Reinforced Polypropylene mixture.
Can be that carrier is made filling master batch with the part resin earlier with surface treated mineral filler, make required mixture with remaining resin again.
According to above-mentioned preparation method, also can when filler and resin compounded, add an amount of superoxide, can improve the flowability of product like this.The add-on of superoxide can be determined routinely according to the mobile property of required mixture.Used superoxide can be benzoyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide (DCP), di-t-butyl peroxide or tertbutyl peroxide.
Mixture of the present invention is because its filler is the compounded mix that process white and other mineral filler constitute, and handle through doing the surface step by step with silane coupling agent and other coupling agent, wherein two or more fillers and two or more coupling agents produce synergistic function, polyacrylic toughness is significantly improved, and rigidity also increase simultaneously.So mixture of the present invention can have good toughness and rigidity simultaneously concurrently.
Mixture of the present invention also can become and has high workability and high tenacity concurrently, perhaps has the high filled polypropylene mixture of high tenacity.In addition, the product surface smooth finish made from mixture of the present invention is good, can be used for making various electric appliance casings, auto parts etc.
Below by embodiment mixture of the present invention and positively effect thereof are described further.
Except that commercially produced product, all adopt following prepared in embodiment that is provided and the comparative example:
Filler: do the surface by method noted earlier and handle;
Equipment: engagement type twin screw extruder in the same way, screw diameter 35mm, 28, six sections heating of length-to-diameter ratio;
Processing condition: first section and the 6th section Heating temperature are 200 ± 10 ℃, 230 ± 10 ℃ of other each sections, 100 rev/mins of screw speeds.
Below respectively showing listed is the proportioning components (wt) and the performance comparison of part embodiment of the present invention and comparative example.Except that table 1-1, the embodiment that contains filler in other each table and comparative example all adopt with show 1-1 in the identical coupling agent of embodiment 2.
Table 1-1 and 1-2 explanation adopt silane with other coupling agent and by the inventive method filler to be carried out step-by-step processing, can make filler bring into play toughening effect preferably.
Show 2-1 and 2-1 explanation employing compounded mix (embodiment 2 to 4) and have more significant toughening effect than the single filler of employing (comparative example 5 to 6), and the loading level increase, toughness also increases, and meanwhile the rigidity of material does not have decline, even also has raising.
Do not have single talcum powder remarkable although the rigidity after table 2-3 and 2-4 explanation compounded mix are filled improves, the latter makes loss in toughness too big, and the compounded mix system has good rigidity/flexible balance, can obtain to have concurrently excellent toughness and inflexible material.
Table 3-1 and 3-2 illustrate that other resin is to effect of material performance.Add other an amount of resin such as HDPE or LDPE and can further improve toughness, but rigidity is low slightly.
Table 4-1 and 4-2 are that mixture of the present invention compares with existing some business-like resin dedicated performance.The result shows that under similar melt flow rate (MFR) and flexible situation, mixture of the present invention has rigidity preferably.Under similar melt flow rate (MFR) and inflexible situation, mixture of the present invention has toughness preferably.Also explanation adding superoxide can obviously improve the flowability of material simultaneously, though toughness of material is descended to some extent, but still reach higher level (embodiment 12,13), can yet be regarded as has the material of high workability and high tenacity concurrently.Table 1-1
