Problems solved by technology

[0002] The general-purpose polystyrene foam is widely used in shock absorption, packaging, heat insulation, sound insulation and heat preservation, and the production scale is continuously expanding. However, due to the lack of toughness, strength and energy absorption of this type of material, its application range is limited
General-purpose polyethylene foam has good toughness and low temperature resistance, but its strength is poor and its rigidity is small, which also affects the expansion of its application range.
[0003] Polyethylene is a crystalline material with high strength and toughness, while polystyrene has high modulus and tensile strength, but poor toughness, and the material itself is very brittle and prone to fracture
Due to the difference in chemical structure, crystallization behavior, etc. between these two materials, the compatibility between these two polymers is extremely poor
The blending and foaming of polyethylene and polystyrene has been reported (Journal of Cellular Plastics, 2006, 42 (2): 153-163; Journal of Cellular Plastics, 2000, 36 (5): 397-421; Chinese invention patent, Application number: 86107089), due to the poor compatibility of polyethylene and polystyrene, people try to obtain a foam material with both common characteristics from polyethylene and polystyrene blending, although adding a compatibilizer, the total The mixture is also prone to phase separation of polyethylene and polystyrene, which affects processing and foam product performance

Abstract

The invention relates to a polyethylene-polystyrene foam, which is formed in a way that polystyrene is grafted on a molecular chain of polyethylene to connect the polyethylene with the polystyrene by a covalent chemical bond, wherein the grafting ratio mass percent of the grafted polystyrene is 25-60%, and the volume density of the polyethylene-polystyrene foam is 27-208kg/m<3>. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out pre-irradiation treatment on the polyethylene; and adding the polyethylene after the pre-irradiation treatment, dispersant, functional monomer, emulsifying agent, nucleating agent and homopolymerization depressor to a reaction vessel to be subject to suspension graft polymerization reaction, adding foaming agent, cooling the reaction product, filtering, washing with water, drying, and heating to obtain the polyethylene-polystyrene foam. The polyethylene-polystyrene foam has the advantages of excellent mechanical property, favorable rebound elasticity, good stress cracking resistance, high impact absorbing capacity and the like, combines the flexibility of polyethylene foam and the rigidity of polystyrene foam, and is used in the fields of vehicles, buildings, packaging, heat preservation, heat insulation and the like.
