The invention relates to a lampshade material. The lampshade material comprises the following raw materials in parts by mass: 100 parts of PMMA, 4-6 parts of an organic silicon material, 1-2 parts of methylacryloyl methoxyl silane, 0.5-1 part of polyethylene glycol, 0.4-0.8 part of an organic silicon photodiffusion agent, 1-1.5 parts of carboxymethylcellulose, 1-2 parts of nano negative ion powder, 0.5-1.5 parts of nano yttrium oxide, 2-5 parts of polytetrafluoroethylene ultrafine powder, 0.5-1.5 parts of an antioxidant and 0.5-1.5 parts of a light stabilizing agent. The invention further relates to a preparation method of the lampshade material. The lampshade material is good in light permeability and gentle in light, the thermal expansion coefficient of the lampshade material is matched with an LED chip, and the wafer of an LED lamp is not bent because of temperature change in normal operation, so that the LED lamp is solid and stable in overall structure in the use process, the service life can be prolonged, the lampshade material has an air purification function, the preparation method of the lampshade material is simple, the dispersing property of the lampshade material can be remarkably improved, the light transmittance rate and the haze degree are remarkably increased, and the mechanical property and the surface hardness are remarkably improved.
