Problems solved by technology

However, the common autoclave impregnation method also has some problems. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of the material, in order to achieve a uniform temperature of the material in the autoclave, it is usually necessary to add a dispersant-suspension (mainly water), which causes the material to be heated. Long time, high energy consumption, increased post-treatment process - separation and drying, reducing production efficiency
Usually, when the high-pressure reactor impregnation method is used to prepare elastomer foam beads, it is often difficult to obtain high-magnification foam beads. At the same time, with the increase of foam ratio, the cell diameter increases and the mechanical properties decrease.

Abstract

The invention discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane foaming bead particle and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of (1) extruding a foaming-level thermoplastic polyurethane resin composition, and granulating, so as to form the to-be-foamed particles with uniform shape and weight; (2) uniformly heating the to-be-foamed particles by screw conveying heating equipment to approximate the foaming temperature, conveying into a constant-temperature high-pressure reaction kettle, filling supercritical fluid, permeating and swelling to reach dispersion balance, so as to form a polymer-supercritical fluid homogeneous system; (3) controlling the pressure release speed in the system, and foaming and swelling the to-be-foamed particles, so as to form thefoaming bead particle with special structure. The preparation method has the advantages that the production process is clean and environmentally friendly, the efficiency is higher, the prepared foaming bead particle has light specific weight and high mechanical property, and the thermoplastic polyurethane foaming bead particle can be applied to the fields of package, shoes, sports articles and thelike.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new materials, and in particular relates to a thermoplastic polyurethane foamed bead and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Traditional foamed beads such as expandable polystyrene (EPS), expandable polyethylene (EPE), expandable polyolefin (EPO), etc., can no longer meet the needs of high-performance fields due to their low heat resistance. application, and the traditional foaming process often uses organic solvents, chlorofluorocarbons and other foaming agents, which seriously pollute the environment and products. [0003] Supercritical fluid foaming technology, the foaming process is clean, and will not pollute the environment and foamed products. Therefore, supercritical fluid foaming technology has attracted more and more attention from the society. The viscosity and diffusion coefficient of supercritical fluid (SCF, supercritical fluid) are close to gas, while the density an...
