Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of olefin polymerization, and in particular to a polypropylene resin with excellent low-temperature impact resistance and a preparation method thereof, and a polypropylene material. Background Art
[0002] The application of isotactic polypropylene is severely limited due to its high brittleness and poor transparency. In order to expand the application range of polypropylene, propylene and α-olefin are generally copolymerized to make random copolymer polypropylene to reduce its brittleness and improve its transparency. Existing random copolymer polypropylene products mainly use ethylene and propylene copolymerization, but the low molecular weight substances in ethylene-propylene random copolymer polypropylene are easy to migrate to the surface of the material, affecting the transparency and surface gloss of the material. Therefore, it is necessary to find other olefins to copolymerize with propylene to improve the performance of the product.
[0003] Commonly used α-olefins mainly include ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene. With the transformation and upgrading of domestic refining and chemical business, long-chain α-olefins such as 1-hexene and 1-octene will gradually replace 1-butene as comonomers, and the polyolefin products produced will have better performance and higher added value. Compared with propylene / ethylene copolymers, the melt strength, impact strength, transparency and weather resistance of propylene / 1-hexene copolymers can be significantly improved, and the crystals of propylene / 1-hexene copolymers are smaller and the phase structure is more uniform, which is beneficial to impact resistance.
[0004] The preparation process of olefin copolymers includes bulk method, gas phase method, solution method and slurry method. Bulk polymerization is divided into gas phase bulk method and liquid phase bulk method. The gas phase bulk method is to polymerize gaseous monomers into polymers under high temperature and pressure through catalysts, while the liquid phase bulk method is to polymerize liquid monomers into polymers under the action of catalysts. Slurry polymerization is a method of monomer polymerization reaction, which belongs to a type of precipitation polymerization. It refers to the polymerization reaction in which the initiator of the polymerization reaction and the formed polymer are not soluble in the monomer itself and the solvent (diluent); the solvent added in the slurry polymerization mainly plays the role of diluting the monomer concentration and discharging part of the reaction heat. Solution polymerization is that olefin monomers are dissolved in alkane solvents under the action of catalysts, and the polymerization reaction is carried out in the solution. Compared with bulk polymerization and slurry polymerization, the solvent in solution polymerization can be used as a heat transfer medium to make the system heat transfer easier and the temperature easier to control; the system viscosity is lower, the gel effect is reduced, and local overheating can be avoided. At present, the industrial polymerization process of polybutene-1 is mainly based on gas phase method, bulk method and slurry method.
[0005] For example, Chinese patent document CN201480058456.1 discloses that a multimodal copolymer of propylene / 1-hexene is obtained in at least two connected gas phase polymerization reactors using a Ziegler-Natta catalytic system, wherein the content of 1-hexene derived units is 0.6wt%-3.0wt%, which is suitable for the production of industrial panels; the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer obtained by this method has an impact strength of 8KJ / m at 0°C. 2 , and the bending modulus is 1520Mpa. Chinese patent document CN200880122494.3 discloses that a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer is obtained in at least two connected gas phase polymerization reactors using a Ziegler-Natta catalytic system, wherein the copolymer has a xylene soluble portion of less than 5% relative to the total weight of the copolymer, and the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer is particularly suitable for plastic tanks, especially expansion tanks.
[0006] Chinese patent documents CN201680068706.9, CN201880026510.2, and CN201880044856.5 provide a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer having a high haze value and a low sealing initiation temperature for producing a film, preferably a cast film or a BOPP film monolayer or multilayer, wherein at least one layer comprises the composition of the present disclosure. Chinese patent documents CN200880121585.5, CN201980057315.0, and CN201980056582.6 disclose a propylene / hexene-1 copolymer having a good balance of impact resistance (such as dart impact strength) and tear propagation resistance for producing blown films. Chinese patent document CN201980057350.2 provides a propylene / 1-hexene copolymer for producing a film, more preferably a cast film. Chinese patent document CN201510042369.3 discloses a copolymer of propylene and 1-hexene, which contains 5-9wt% of repeating units derived from 1-hexene, has a melting temperature of 125°C-140°C, and a melt flow rate of 0.1-3g / 10min, and is used to produce blown films with valuable mechanical and optical properties.
[0007] Chinese patent document CN201280035049.X discloses a tape of propylene / 1-hexene copolymer, in which the hexene content of the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer is 0.3wt%-5.0wt%; the melt flow rate is 0.3g / 10min-11g / 10min; the melting point is higher than 145°C, preferably between 146°C and -159°C; the tape of the propylene / 1-hexene copolymer has high tensile strength.
[0008] It can be seen that the existing propylene / 1-hexene copolymer mainly adopts the method of gas phase polymerization. According to different application requirements, the mechanics, fluidity, transparency and other aspects are improved to varying degrees by adjusting the monomer hexene content and gas phase polymerization parameters. However, the existing propylene / 1-hexene copolymer polypropylene materials need to be further improved in low temperature impact resistance, especially for polypropylene materials used in injection molding products in the fields of medical tube materials, medical packaging and food packaging. However, the existing methods of adjusting the monomer hexene content and gas phase polymerization parameters are not ideal for further improving the low temperature impact resistance of propylene / 1-hexene copolymer polypropylene materials. There are many factors affecting the performance of polypropylene materials, such as the selection of high copolymerization performance catalysts, the selection of polymerization processes, the regulation of monomer content, etc., and these factors have an impact on a certain performance or comprehensive performance. Therefore, how to select a catalyst with high copolymerization performance to further improve the low temperature impact resistance of propylene / 1-hexene copolymers to meet the needs of injection molding products in the fields of medical tube materials, medical packaging and food packaging is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects:
[0055] The existing preparation method of propylene / hexene copolymer generally adopts metallocene catalyst or conventional commercial Ziegler-Natta catalyst, combined with gas phase polymerization, mainly adopts pilot plant with multiple reactors in series, which is only applicable to pilot and industrial tests, and the process is complicated. The use of bulk polymerization has the problem that propylene / hexene copolymer is easily soluble in propylene monomer, resulting in the easy sticking of the polymerization product to the reactor. In the slurry polymerization process, propylene / hexene copolymer has the problem of swelling in the solvent and is easy to agglomerate. Therefore, in order to improve the low-temperature impact resistance of propylene / 1-hexene copolymer, most of them are improved on the basis of the existing gas phase polymerization method, such as controlling the monomer content, but the effect is not ideal. The inventor has jumped out of the limitation of the existing improvement direction, using a catalyst with high copolymerization performance, that is, a catalyst system containing a specific composite internal electron donor to control the hexene copolymerization amount and its distribution, combined with the solution polymerization method, significantly improving the low-temperature impact resistance of propylene / 1-hexene binary copolymer (i.e. polypropylene resin), and the obtained polypropylene material can meet the application requirements in the fields of medical tube materials, medical packaging and food packaging, injection molding products and other fields.
[0056] Beneficial effect 1: The polypropylene resin base material provided by the present invention has high impact strength, especially low-temperature impact strength (-20°C impact resistance can reach 3-7KJ / m 2 ), and its haze is also low below 30%. After adding a permeability enhancer to the polypropylene resin, the haze can be reduced to below 20%, which is suitable for pipe materials, packaging materials, etc. Adding antioxidants, acid scavengers and permeability enhancers to the polypropylene resin base material at the same time, the obtained polypropylene material has excellent low temperature resistance and impact resistance: (-20℃) is 3-7KJ / m 2, haze <15%, ash content 0.0038%-0.006%, melting point 145-155℃, with high low-temperature impact strength, high transparency and low ash content, which makes up for the shortcomings of the existing technology and can be used for the preparation of injection molded products in the fields of medical tube materials, medical packaging and food packaging that have high requirements on low-temperature impact and transparency.
[0057] Beneficial effect 2: The polypropylene resin provided by the present invention is prepared by a solution method. After the polymerization reaction is completed, the solvent can be recycled by flash evaporation, and a propylene-hexyl copolymer with good catalyst morphology replication can be obtained. The polymer has good fluidity, the particles do not stick together, and the polymer structure is not destroyed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0063] If no specific experimental steps or conditions are specified in the examples, the conventional experimental steps or conditions described in the literature in the field can be used. If no manufacturer is specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional reagent products that can be obtained commercially.
[0064] (I) Test method:
[0065] (1) Melting temperature (melting point):
[0066] The measurement was performed using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The DSC model was Q2000, produced by PerkinElmer. The temperature was rapidly raised from 50°C to 200°C and kept constant for 5 minutes to eliminate the thermal history; the temperature was reduced to 50°C at a rate of 10°C / min and kept constant for 5 minutes to obtain the crystallization temperature Tc and crystallization enthalpy change ΔHc of the polymer; after keeping constant for 5 minutes, the temperature was raised to 200°C at 10°C / min to obtain the melting temperature Tm and melting enthalpy change ΔHm of the polymer.
[0067] Copolymer composition:
[0068] The chain microstructure of polypropylene was tested using a DMX 300M NMR spectrometer (produced by Bruker) using a temperature-increasing NMR technique. 80 mg to 100 mg of the copolymer was dissolved in 0.5 ml of deuterated o-dichlorobenzene reagent and heated to 383 K for NMR carbon spectrum scanning, with the number of scans being 3000.
[0069] Specimen preparation:
[0070] The standard specimens required for mechanical property testing are injected by SZ-15 hydraulic injection molding machine with an injection pressure of 100kgt / cm 3 , injection time 9.5 seconds, holding pressure 15 seconds, injection temperature 180°C. The injection molded specimens were placed in a desiccator at room temperature for more than 24 hours, and the notched impact specimens were milled with a standard notch on a notch type sample making machine, and continued to anneal in a desiccator at room temperature for more than 24 hours.
[0071] Impact strength test:
[0072] After the specimens were made according to the above preparation method, the notched impact strength of the samples was measured on a CSI-137C impact testing machine according to ASTM D256 standard. Low-temperature simply supported beam impact strength test: First, the sample with a standard notch milled was placed in a -20°C freeze drying oven for 2 hours for constant temperature cooling, and then its impact strength was quickly tested after being taken out.
[0073] Melt index test:
[0074] The test was conducted using a 556-0031 melt indexer from Haake, Germany, with a load of 2.16 kg and a temperature of 230°C.
[0075] Haze test:
[0076] The test was conducted using the EEL57D haze meter from the British company Diffusion, with a sample thickness of 1 mm.
[0077] Ethylene content test:
[0078] The test was conducted using a Nicolet iS50 Fourier infrared spectrometer from the American thermo scientific company.
[0079] Polarized light microscope:
[0080] The test was conducted using a BX 51 microscope from Japan's OLYMPUS company.
[0081] (II) Synthesis of dicarboxylic acid ester internal electron donor represented by formula I (the dicarboxylic acid ester internal electron donors in the following examples and comparative examples are all prepared by the following method)
[0082] The dicarboxylic acid ester internal electron donor is prepared by esterification reaction of the corresponding acid anhydride and alcohol. The reaction formula is as follows: specifically, dianhydride and isobutyl alcohol (as reactants and water-carrying agent) are used as reactants, concentrated sulfuric acid is added, stirred and heated until a water layer appears in the water separator, and the reaction is continued for 2 hours under stirring at this temperature. After the reaction is completed, it is washed with distilled water, 5wt% sodium carbonate solution, and saturated sodium chloride solution in sequence, and then dehydrated with calcium hydride and purified by reduced pressure distillation. After gas chromatography analysis, the corresponding dicarboxylic acid ester internal electron donor compound with a purity greater than 98% is obtained.
