Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of foaming materials, and specifically relates to a copolymerized high-crystalline polypropylene material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Compared with ordinary polypropylene products, high crystalline polypropylene (HCPP) has a higher crystallization temperature, a short product molding cycle, and can meet the production requirements of thin-wall and lightweight. It is widely used in the automotive, home appliance and other fields.
[0003] At present, there are two main ways to prepare highly crystalline polypropylene: (1) using a highly active and high-performance catalyst system and a new polymerization process technology to improve the relative molecular mass distribution of polypropylene and increase the isotacticity of polypropylene, thereby improving the crystallization performance of polypropylene and increasing the melting enthalpy of polypropylene (PP) from the general 65~85 J / g to more than 90 J / g; (2) adding high-end nucleating agents to polypropylene resins to increase the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of the polymer, change the crystal morphology of polypropylene, and refine the grains.
[0004] However, the rigidity of HCPP prepared by adding nucleating agents alone is limited, and the amount of nucleating agents added is large, resulting in high production costs. Therefore, the mainstream method is to use improved catalysts and polymerization process technologies to prepare high crystalline polypropylene.

The present invention has no particular restrictions on the source of the above-mentioned additives, and they can be general commercial products.
[0040] In the present invention, in order to ensure that the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material has a high flexural modulus, good impact resistance and excellent processing performance, the present invention preferably has a crystallization enthalpy ΔH of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material. c [kJ / kg] and the relative molecular weight distribution PD satisfy the following formula (1); the flexural modulus FM [MPa] of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material and the content of xylene solubles satisfy the following formula (2); the simply supported beam impact strength a of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material k [kJ / m 2 ] and the content of xylene solubles satisfy the following formula (3); the intrinsic viscosity ratio k and the melt index MFR [g·10min -1 ] satisfies the following formula (4);
[0041] PD 2 +55≤ΔH c ≤PD 2 +98 (1)
[0042] -XS 1.34 +924≤FM≤-XS 2.04 +2300 (2)
[0043] XS 0.22 ≤a k ≤4XS 0.35 (3)
[0044] 4log 1.11 k≤MFR≤7log 1.04 k(4).
[0045] In the present invention, the relative molecular weight distribution PD of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material is measured by gel permeation chromatography in SN / T 4183-2015 using trichlorobenzene as solvent. In the present invention, PD is usually 2-6, preferably 3.5-5, and more preferably 3.5-4.
[0046] It should be noted that the crystallization enthalpy ΔHc [kJ / kg] and the relative molecular weight distribution PD of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material of the present invention satisfy the relationship of formula (1):
[0047] PD 2 +55≤ΔH c ≤PD 2 +98 (1)
[0048] In the invention, the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material needs to have a high degree of crystallinity. 2When the relationship of +55≤ΔHc is not satisfied, that is, the crystallization enthalpy is too low, the stereoregularity of polypropylene is poor, the crystallinity is low, and it is not conducive to processing; and when ΔHc≤PD in formula (1) 2 When the relationship of +98 is not satisfied, that is, the melting enthalpy is too high, the process is difficult to implement.
[0049] In the present invention, the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material preferably satisfies the following relation (1): PD 2 +60≤ΔH c ≤PD 2 +93, preferably: PD 2 +65≤ΔH c ≤PD 2 +88.
[0050] The crystallization enthalpy in the above formula (1) is measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC1) according to the method described in GB / T 19466.3-2004, and the obtained DSC curve is processed.
[0051] In the present invention, the xylene soluble content of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material is measured using 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as solvent, using a rapid fully automatic polyolefin xylene soluble content analyzer (CRYSTEX QC) according to the mid-infrared spectroscopy method of GB / T 24282-2021.

[0054] In the present invention, the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material needs to have a suitable and high bending modulus. When the relationship -XS1.34+924≤FM in formula (2) is not satisfied, that is, the bending modulus is low, indicating that the rigidity of the polypropylene is insufficient and cannot meet the rigidity requirements of the overall product after processing; when the relationship FM≤-XS2.04+2300 in formula (2) is not satisfied, that is, the bending modulus is too high, the impact performance is generally poor, and it is difficult to achieve rigidity balance performance.

[0058] XS 0.22 ≤a k ≤4XS 0.35 (3)
[0059] The copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material of the present invention needs to have a high impact strength. When XS in formula (3) 0.22 ≤a k When the relationship is not satisfied, that is, the simply supported beam impact strength is low, indicating that the toughness of polypropylene is poor, which limits its application in life; when a in formula (3) k ≤4XS 0.35 When the relationship is not satisfied, that is, the impact strength is too high, the rigidity of the product will be sacrificed.
[0060] In the present invention, the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material preferably satisfies the following relation (3): XS 0.35 ≤a k ≤4XS 0.25 , preferably: XS 0.44 ≤a k ≤4XS 0.14 .
[0061] The simply supported beam impact strength in the above formula (3) is tested using a simply supported beam pendulum impact tester (CEAST-9050) according to the method described in GB / T 1043.1-2008. The specific test method is to impact a notched specimen, select an appropriate pendulum, raise it to a fixed height, and impact the specimen supported as a horizontal beam once at a constant speed, with the impact line facing the single notch.
[0062] The intrinsic viscosity of the xylene soluble matter of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material of the present invention and the intrinsic viscosity of the crystalline phase are tested using a rapid fully automatic polyolefin xylene soluble content analyzer (CRYSTEX QC) and measured according to the mid-infrared spectroscopy method in accordance with GB / T24282-2021, and the viscosity ratio k is obtained by further calculation.
[0063] In the present invention, the intrinsic viscosity ratio k of the xylene soluble matter to the crystalline phase of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material is related to the melt index MFR [g·10min -1 ] satisfies the relationship in formula (4):
[0064] 4log 1.11 k≤MFR≤7log 1.04 k (4)
[0065] When the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene of the present invention satisfies formula (4), the formed high crystalline polymer product has good fluidity and is conducive to molding processing.
[0066] In the present invention, the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material preferably satisfies the following relationship (4): 4.5log 1.11 k≤MFR≤6.7log 1.04 k, more preferably: 5.5log 1.11 k≤MFR≤6.5log 1.04 k.
[0067] The melt flow rate in the above formula (4) is measured at 230°C under a load of 2.16 kg according to GB / T 3682.1-2018.

[0069] homopolymerizing propylene in the presence of a catalyst, a co-catalyst, an external electron donor and hydrogen to obtain homopolymerized polypropylene powder;
[0070] Then, homopolymerized polypropylene is subjected to gas phase ethylene-propylene copolymerization reaction with propylene, ethylene and hydrogen in a certain ratio to obtain ethylene-propylene copolymerized polypropylene powder;
[0071] Then the polypropylene powder is mixed with additives, and a copolymerized high-crystalline polypropylene material is obtained through extrusion and granulation.

[0075] In the present invention, the temperature of the homopolymerization reaction and the gas-phase ethylene-propylene copolymerization reaction should be lower than the melting temperature of the copolymerized high crystalline polypropylene material. Specifically, in the present invention, the temperature of the homopolymerization reaction and the temperature of the gas-phase ethylene-propylene copolymerization reaction are independently 0-150° C., preferably 30-100° C., and more preferably 60-90° C. The time of the homopolymerization reaction is 0.2-5 h, preferably 0.5-2 h, and the time of the gas-phase ethylene-propylene copolymerization reaction is 0.1-2 h, preferably 0.1-1 h.

The present invention has no particular restrictions on the direct polymerization method or the two-stage polymerization method, and conventional technical solutions well known to those skilled in the art can be used. Among them, in the present invention, the two-stage polymerization method divides the polymerization process into bulk polymerization and gas-phase ethylene-propylene copolymerization polymerization. Therefore, the present invention preferably uses a two-stage polymerization method.
