Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer foam composite materials, and particularly relates to an antistatic EVA foam composite material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) is a type of random copolymer formed by the copolymerization of polar vinyl acetate monomer and non-polar ethylene monomer. Because of the polar and non-polar groups on its main chain, it has good mechanical and processing properties, while not lacking in flexibility and elasticity. Therefore, EVA is often used to prepare foam materials and is widely used in packaging, building materials, sports equipment, footwear and other fields. As a new type of functional material, the conductive composite material prepared by compounding conductive fillers and polymer materials has the advantages of excellent conductive properties, low cost and easy processing. It is widely used in products such as sensors and current protection devices. In the study, it was found that the conductive composite material showed pressure dependence under pressure and exhibited piezoresistive behavior. The conductive foam material is a type of material that has good conductivity and the cushioning, energy absorption, shockproof and other properties of foam materials. It also has good compressibility and a certain degree of resilience, which has become a hot topic for scientists to study.

[0003] Patent application number CN200810023439.0 provides an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer open-cell foamed profile and a method for manufacturing the same, comprising the following main raw materials: a mixture of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and low-density polyethylene, a filler, a foaming agent, a cross-linking agent, a foaming aid, a flame retardant, and white oil. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer open-cell foamed profile is prepared through mixing, refining, open refining, preforming, primary foaming, secondary foaming and other process steps. The foaming ratio of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is 15-30, but the limiting oxygen index of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can only reach about 18%, and the material is extremely flammable, which greatly limits its application range; Patent application number CN200810155834.4 provides a conductive ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foamed profile and a method for manufacturing the same , including the following main raw materials: a mixture of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and low-density polyethylene, a filler, a foaming agent, a foaming aid, a cross-linking agent, a lubricant, and conductive carbon black. Through the process steps of mixing, preforming, compression molding, shaping, cooling, etc., the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer foamed profile prepared is light in weight, good in cushioning performance, and low in volume resistivity. It can be reprocessed by slotting, stamping, bonding, etc. to adapt to various uses. Conductive carbon black, as an inorganic filler, plays an important role in organic polymer systems. In the fields of batteries, electronics, etc., it can give products conductive or antistatic effects. However, due to the poor compatibility of conductive carbon black with organic polymer materials, it is difficult to disperse evenly in the matrix. Direct filling can easily lead to disadvantages such as decreased mechanical properties and embrittlement of the material. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an antistatic EVA foam composite material and a preparation method thereof. The EVA foam composite material provided by the present invention not only has suitable density and resilience, but also has excellent antistatic properties, mechanical properties and flame retardant properties.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is: An antistatic EVA foam composite material comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-100 parts of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, 40-60 parts of low-density polyethylene, 2-4 parts of conductive filler, 2-5 parts of foaming agent, 1-2 parts of foaming aid, and 1-3 parts of crosslinking agent, wherein the conductive filler is modified graphene oxide; The preparation method of the modified graphene oxide is: S1.

[0006] Graphene oxide is obtained by oxidation and exfoliation of natural graphite by strong oxidants. The hybridization type of carbon atoms in the original graphite structure is sp 2The two-dimensional sheet material of carbon structure has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, large specific surface area, good barrier property and excellent antistatic performance. However, due to the van der Waals force and π-π effect between graphene sheets, graphene oxide is very easy to agglomerate in organic systems, and the dispersion of graphene oxide in organic systems is severely limited. How to improve the dispersion uniformity of graphene oxide in organic systems has become a hot topic for scientists to study nowadays. The present invention first uses 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and epoxyphenylpropane as raw materials, and an epoxy ring-opening reaction occurs under the catalysis of N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine to obtain product 1; then, product 1 and phosphoric acid are used as raw materials to undergo an esterification reaction to obtain product 2; finally, product 2 is used as a modifier, and an organic molecular chain is grafted on the surface of graphene oxide by silanization reaction to obtain modified graphene oxide. The grafting of organic molecular chains improves the interface dispersibility and compatibility of graphene oxide in organic systems, and improves the antistatic and mechanical properties of the material.

[0007] In order to obtain modified graphene oxide and improve its compatibility with organic systems and its dispersibility in organic systems, the molar ratio of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, epoxyphenylpropane, and N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine in step S1 is 0.9-1.1:1:0.03-0.06; the mass volume ratio of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is 0.22-0.34 g / mL; the molar ratio of product 1 to phosphoric acid in step S2 is 1:1 .1-1.3; the mass volume ratio of the product 1 to 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is 0.2-0.3g / mL; the mass ratio of the graphene oxide powder and the product 2 in step S3 is 1:3-5, the amount of graphene oxide powder added to N,N-dimethylformamide is 0.005-0.015g / mL, the ultrasonic power is 400-600W, and the ultrasonic time for ultrasonically dispersing the graphene oxide powder in N,N-dimethylformamide is 20-40min.

[0008] Furthermore, the foaming agent is azodicarbonamide; the foaming aid is prepared by mixing equal masses of zinc stearate and zinc oxide; the crosslinking agent is prepared by mixing 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane and triallyl isocyanurate, and the mass ratio of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane and triallyl isocyanurate is 6:1-3.

[0009] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an antistatic EVA foam composite material, comprising the following steps: firstly adding ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, low-density polyethylene and conductive filler into an internal mixer, and internally mixing at a temperature of 90-110°C for 10-20min, then adding a foaming agent, a foaming aid and a cross-linking agent, and internally mixing at a temperature of 150-180°C for 5-15min to obtain a mixture, and finally placing the mixture on a flat vulcanizer for hot pressing into a sheet, namely the antistatic EVA foam composite material; wherein the internal mixer has a rotation speed of 30-50r / min, and the specific operation of hot pressing into a sheet is: mold foaming at a pressure of 10MPa and a temperature of 170-180°C for 5-15min.

[0010] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The invention prepares modified graphene oxide through epoxy compound ring-opening reaction, esterification reaction and silylation reaction in sequence, and introduces siloxane, phosphate and benzene ring on the surface of graphene oxide. The introduction of phosphate esters makes the phosphate molecules excited and decompose when the material is exposed to a combustion source, producing phosphate acetal and gaseous phosphate free radicals. The acetal produced by the decomposition of phosphate acetal can react with hydrogen on the surface of the material to prevent the material from further decomposing. The phosphate free radicals react with oxygen in the air to form phosphate oxides, which in turn form a protective layer on the surface of the material to inhibit combustion. The introduction of benzene rings can improve the aggregation and agglomeration of graphene oxide powder in organic systems and improve the dispersion uniformity of the powder. The introduction of siloxanes can increase the interfacial adhesion between graphene oxide and raw materials such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and polyethylene. The introduction of a variety of organic functional groups on the surface of graphene oxide can not only increase its compatibility with organic systems, but also affect the dispersibility and reactivity of the material by increasing the steric hindrance between particles, so that the modified graphene oxide can be evenly distributed in the organic system and fully exert its function, thereby significantly improving the antistatic and mechanical properties of the foam composite material.

[0011] The present invention compounds ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, low-density polyethylene, modified graphene oxide, a crosslinking agent, a foaming agent and a foaming aid, and the components interact with each other, thereby reducing the amount of inorganic filler used, and significantly improving the antistatic property, mechanical property and flame retardant property of the composite material while ensuring the density and resilience of the EVA foam composite material.
