[0005] Chinese patent application No. 03141828.7 discloses a method for preparing unsaturated organic acid grafted polypropylene using a supercritical carbon dioxide medium. The unsaturated organic acid is acrylic acid or maleic anhydride, adding auxiliary monomers and initiators, and the grafting rate of acrylic acid In general, it can reach more than 5.5%, but the auxiliary monomer styrene must be used, which has high cost, high toxicity and serious environmental pollution.
[0008] Although both acrylic acid and maleic anhydride can be used as grafting monomers, maleic anhydride itself is grafted with short-chain branches or single molecules, so the probability of cross-linking reaction is very low, and there is no need to consider cross-linking problems during the reaction process; Acrylic acid is a graft monomer that is easy to self-polymerize and cross-link. As the grafting reaction continues, the cross-linking reaction of acrylic acid causes linear polypropylene to become a bulk polymer, and when the cross-linking reaches a certain After a certain degree, the acrylic acid grafted polypropylene (PP-g-AA) is neither soluble nor easy to melt. At this time, the material properties have undergone qualitative changes, and it is difficult to meet its adhesive and compatibilizer applications.
Gel rate (G gel %) is an important indicator for measuring the degree of cross-linking reaction, and the high gel rate undoubtedly limits the application of acrylic acid grafted polypropylene (PP-g-AA) as a compatibilizer
According to literature reports, except that the grafting rate prepared by the melt grafting method is low and no cross-linked products are seen; while other processes can obtain a higher grafting rate, but because the factors of the cross-linking reaction in the graft are not considered, the The prepared acrylic-grafted polypropylene does not work well as a compatibilizer and adhesive

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing polypropylene grafted with acrylic acid through supercritical carbon dioxide. The method comprises the following steps: (1) at a temperature of between 40 and 100 DEG C and the pressure of between 7 and 20 MPa, swelling polypropylene by the supercritical carbon dioxide and dissolving acrylic acid and an initiator; making acrylic acid and the initiator impregnate into a polypropylene matrix with the swelling and impregnation time of between 1 and 8 hours; (2) at the grafting reaction temperature of between 70 and 160 DEG C and the grafting reaction pressure of between 8 and 30 MPa, decomposing the initiator to initiate the grafting reaction; and (3) after reaction for 1 to 5 hours, carrying out decarbonation through pressure reduction so as to obtain the polypropylene grafted with the acrylic acid. The method with a simple operating process has no solvent reclaiming, thereby contributing to environmental protection. The prepared modified polypropylene has high grafting ratio, low crosslinking degree, even grafting and low graft degradation.
