AI Technical Summary
Poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) (TPX) material has extremely low surface energy and a lack of polar groups due to the highly regular arrangement of methyl side chains in its molecular chain, resulting in poor interfacial compatibility with polar materials. In addition, the tertiary carbon sites in the main chain are prone to free radical chain reactions, causing molecular chain breakage or cross-linking, limiting its application in composite materials and high-radiation environments.
By using a grafting solvent system and auxiliary solvent that does not contain benzyl hydrogen, unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers are introduced at the tertiary carbon site of the poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) backbone through free radical polymerization. Combined with precise control of the initiator addition rate and aging reaction time, the grafting rate is improved and side reactions are suppressed.
The preparation of poly-4-methyl-1-pentene grafted materials with high grafting rate (>3.5%) was achieved, which improved the material's interfacial compatibility and radiation resistance, making it suitable for applications such as high-adhesion composite films and flame-retardant cable sheaths.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of polyolefin compatibilizers, and in particular to a poly-4-methyl-1-pentene graft and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Poly (4-methylpentene-1) (TPX), a high-performance polyolefin material, exhibits properties such as a high melting point (approximately 235°C), low density (0.83 g / cm³), excellent optical transparency, and a low dielectric constant due to its unique molecular structure. It is widely used in microporous filtration membranes, high-end medical consumables (such as syringes and culture dishes), high-temperature resistant packaging materials, electronic and electrical insulation coatings (such as heat-resistant wires), and precision physical and chemical laboratory equipment. However, the highly regular arrangement of methyl side chains in the TPX molecular chain results in extremely low surface energy and a lack of polar groups, which makes the material have obvious application limitations: on the one hand, its non-polar characteristics lead to poor interfacial compatibility with polar materials (such as inorganic fillers, flame retardants, and metal substrates), and problems such as delamination and peeling are prone to occur in scenarios such as composite films and flame-retardant cables; on the other hand, the presence of a large number of tertiary carbon sites in the TPX main chain makes it prone to free radical chain reactions under light or thermal oxidation conditions, causing molecular chain breakage or cross-linking, manifested as yellowing of the material, deterioration of mechanical properties and insufficient radiation resistance, which seriously restricts its application in long-term outdoor exposure environments or high-energy radiation scenarios (such as nuclear power plant cable sheaths).
[0003] To address these deficiencies, existing techniques typically employ polar monomer grafting modification to introduce polar functional groups, such as carboxylic acid groups, into the TPX molecular chain. For example, patent application CN116218466A discloses a method for preparing an environmentally friendly, odorless, edge-sealing hot-melt adhesive. This method involves grafting maleic anhydride onto poly-4-methyl-1-pentene, which is then used as a compatibilizer in a polyolefin composite system to enhance the hot-melt adhesive's interfacial bonding properties. However, this technical solution only briefly describes the preparation process of the grafted material. The grafting reaction system is susceptible to side reactions (such as monomer self-polymerization and backbone degradation) during free radical initiation, resulting in low grafting efficiency. This makes it difficult to meet the demanding requirements for high-performance composite materials. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the problem that the current grafting rate of polar monomers in poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) grafts is low and cannot meet the application requirements of high adhesion, high compatibility, etc., this application provides a grafting modification method for preparing poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) grafts with a high grafting rate (greater than 3.5%).
[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides a poly 4-methyl-1-pentene graft, which is prepared by free radical polymerization of poly 4-methyl-1-pentene and a grafting monomer in a mass ratio of 100:3 to 30 in a mixed solvent; the mixed solvent contains a grafting solvent and an auxiliary solvent, the grafting solvent is an organic solvent free of benzyl hydrogen, and the auxiliary solvent is selected from at least one of dichloromethane, acetone, methyl acetate, trichloroethylene, and ethyl acetate; the grafting monomer contains an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer.
[0006] In any of the above technical solutions, the grafting solvent is selected from one of decahydronaphthalene, cumene, tert-butylbenzene, dichlorobenzene, and trichlorobenzene.
[0007] This application significantly suppresses the ineffective consumption of free radicals in the solution grafting reaction by adopting a grafting solvent system that does not contain benzyl hydrogen. The presence of benzyl hydrogen in traditional solvents can lead to free radical chain transfer reactions, that is, free radicals capture benzyl hydrogen from solvent molecules to generate low-activity solvent radicals, thereby reducing the grafting efficiency. In this solution, the solvent that does not contain benzyl hydrogen cuts off this chain transfer path, forcing the free radicals to preferentially attack the tertiary carbon sites of the poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) (TPX) backbone, generating macromolecular free radicals (TPX·), which then combine with the double bonds of the unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers to form graft chains. This design concentrates the activity of the free radicals on the grafting reaction itself, effectively increasing the grafting rate to above 3.5%. At the same time, this application introduces an appropriate amount of auxiliary solvent to promote the diffusion and distribution of the monomer by adjusting the polarity and viscosity of the system. On the one hand, it avoids excessive free radical concentration in local areas that triggers self-polymerization side reactions of unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers, produces homopolymers, and reduces the grafting rate; on the other hand, the synergistic effect of the auxiliary solvent also compensates for the problem of excessive free radical attack on the main chain caused by the inertness of non-benzyl hydrogen solvents, shortens the residence time of large molecular free radicals (TPX·), ensures their rapid combination with monomers, and reduces the risk of β-scission of TPX caused by free radical retention, thereby maintaining the molecular weight stability of TPX and reducing its loss of mechanical properties.
[0008] In any of the above technical solutions, the amount of the grafting solvent is 600 to 1200% of the mass of the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene.
[0009] It is worth noting that the grafting solvent must have good solubility for TPX and be compatible with the reaction temperature of its free radical copolymerization, preferably with a boiling point greater than 100°C, to ensure reaction and dissolution efficiency. When the mass ratio of the grafting solvent to poly-4-methyl-1-pentene is less than 600%, TPX swells and cannot be completely dissolved to form a uniform solution.
[0010] In any of the above technical solutions, the amount of the auxiliary solvent is 5 to 25% of the mass of the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene.
[0011] In any of the above technical solutions, the unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer is selected from one or more of maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, maleic anhydride, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methyl maleate, itaconic anhydride, and methylmaleic anhydride.
[0012] In any of the above technical solutions, the reaction temperature of the free radical polymerization is 100-140°C.
[0013] In any of the above technical solutions, during the free radical polymerization process, the amount of initiator used is 1 to 10% of the mass of the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene.
[0014] In any of the above technical solutions, during the free radical polymerization process, the addition rate of the initiator is 1.0 to 3.0 wt% / min.
[0015] This application achieves a dynamic balance of free radical concentration by precisely controlling the initiator dripping rate. Slow dripping avoids the explosive growth of free radicals caused by excessive initiator in a short period of time, thereby reducing the formation of homopolymers and uncontrollable attacks on the main chain. Combined with a 1-6 hour aging reaction time, it ensures that the generated macromolecular free radicals are fully combined with the monomers, reducing side reactions caused by residual unreacted free radicals. While improving the grafting rate, it ensures the molecular weight retention rate and mechanical property stability of the TPX graft.
[0016] In any of the above technical solutions, the initiator is at least one of azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisoheptanenitrile, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, benzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl perbenzoate, dioctyl peroxydicarbonate, and percarbonate.
[0017] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a poly-4-methyl-1-pentene graft, which comprises: Mixing a portion of the grafting solvent, the poly-4-methyl-1-pentene polymer, the polar monomer, and the grafting auxiliary solvent, stirring and mixing; stirring at a temperature of 100 to 140° C. to form a poly-4-methyl-1-pentene solution; The grafting solvent and the initiator are uniformly mixed to prepare an initiator solution, and the initiator solution is added dropwise to the poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) solution to carry out a polymerization reaction. After the dropwise addition is completed, the reaction is allowed to mature for 1 to 6 hours. After the reaction is completed, the temperature is lowered to below 60°C, and the reaction solution is poured into acetone. After being allowed to settle, the reaction solution is soaked and washed with anhydrous ethanol, and vacuum dried to obtain a grafted product of poly (4-methyl-1-pentene).
[0018] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: This application utilizes solvent system optimization, precise process parameter control, and the synergistic effect of auxiliary solvents to efficiently prepare poly-4-methyl-1-pentene grafts with high grafting yields (>3.5%) and low side reaction rates. The resulting product exhibits excellent polarity tunability, yellowing resistance, and radiation resistance, and is widely applicable in applications such as high-adhesion composite films and flame-retardant cable sheathing, where interfacial compatibility and durability are critical. This technology overcomes the bottlenecks of low efficiency and numerous side reactions associated with traditional grafting modification. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
