Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of plastic alloys, in particular to a lightweight impact-resistant PC / ABS and application of the lightweight impact-resistant PC / ABS to a robot shell. BACKGROUND

[0002] According to the specific type of the robot, engineering plastics, metals and the like can be selected as the robot shell material, wherein the PC / ABS alloy combines the impact resistance and heat resistance of PC and the easy processability and cost advantage of ABS, and is the current mainstream choice for the robot shell, and especially, reducing the overall weight is crucial for prolonging the endurance and cooperation capability of the robot.

[0003] Polycarbonate (PC) is a general term for polymers containing carbonate groups in the molecular chain, which is a glassy amorphous polymer almost colorless, has good optical properties, good surface gloss performance and high transparency. The high molecular weight resin of PC has high toughness, good impact strength and dimensional stability, and can still maintain high mechanical strength in a wide temperature range. At the same time, the creep resistance of PC is better than that of nylon and polyformaldehyde, and the dimensional change and cold flow deformation caused by water absorption are very small. In addition, the molecular polarity of PC is small, the glass transition temperature is high, and the water absorption rate is low, so it has excellent electrical insulation performance. At the same time, the dielectric strength of PC is particularly high, the corona resistance is high, and the electrical properties of PC are almost not affected by temperature, and the heat resistance is high, which is an excellent high-frequency insulating material. However, the high rigidity and large steric hindrance of the PC molecular chain, the high melt viscosity, the difficult processing, the large residual stress of the product, the easy stress cracking, the poor solvent resistance and wear resistance. ABS is a terpolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene, and has excellent mechanical properties of balance of toughness, hardness and rigidity. The ABS resin is between engineering plastics and general plastics in performance, has good molding processability, mechanical properties and chemical resistance, but is flammable and has poor weather resistance.

[0004] PC / ABS alloy is the earliest industrialized PC alloy product, and is one of the most important PC alloys. The compatibility of the two components in the PC / ABS blend system determines the full play of the mechanical properties of each component in the composite material. The similarity of the molecular structure of the polymers in the blend system can increase the compatibility between the molecules, and both PC and ABS molecular chains contain a large number of benzene ring structures. From the thermodynamic point of view, the PC / ABS blend can be regarded as a blend of PC / SAN / PB, in which PC and SAN resin have good compatibility, but PC and PB rubber have poor compatibility. SAN accounts for the majority in ABS resin, which is the continuous phase, so PC and ABS have certain compatibility, and the compatibility increases with the increase of the content of SAN. However, it is necessary to increase the content of rubber to obtain an alloy with excellent impact resistance. Hollow glass microspheres are a kind of micron-sized lightweight materials, which have the advantages of lightweight, low thermal conductivity, high strength and good chemical stability, and the density is much lower than that of various plastic materials. It is hoped that the combination of hollow glass microspheres and plastic materials can prepare lightweight and high-strength plastic materials, but the hollow glass microspheres are easily broken in the shearing process of the extruder, which can easily lead to the appearance of cavities and pores, thereby reducing the mechanical properties of the composite material.

[0058] Toughening and compatibilizing agent: self-made, the preparation method is as follows:

[0059] As shown in Table 1, different proportions of monomers and initiator (azobisisobutyronitrile, AIBN, 0.4wt%) were mixed in an A tank, and extruded by a two-stage extruder system, wherein the first-stage extruder was a TDE-40 type co-rotating twin-screw extruder (diameter 41.3 mm, length-diameter ratio 68), and the second-stage extruder was a TDY-40 type counter-rotating tight intermeshing twin-screw extruder (diameter 41 mm, length-diameter ratio 60), both produced by Nanjing You Sen Machinery Co., Ltd., and connected in series; the mixture in the A tank was injected into the first barrel of the first-stage extruder by a metering pump, which controlled the feeding speed and pushed the monomer solution forward. The second-stage extruder was equipped with a vacuum device at the 10th barrel near the die, which was used to remove the residual monomers in the polymerization system; before the polymerization reaction started, the extruder was heated to 220°C, and the inside was cleaned of impurities with dry argon, then the cooling water pump was started to cool down, and when the temperature dropped to 160°C, the main machine oil pump and screw were started, then the monomer solution was pumped into the extruder, and the screw speed was gradually adjusted to 65 rpm. After 40 minutes, the noodle-shaped copolymer began to be extruded from the die, and after the state was stable, the polymer strip was cut into particles to obtain the toughening and compatibilizing agent, and the residual monomers in the polymer were removed by the vacuum devolatilization device on the second-stage extruder.

[0062] Infrared analysis of amino-branched polysiloxane, branched polysiloxane, and toughening and compatibilizing agent 1 was performed using a Vertex 70 Fourier transform infrared spectrometer from Bruker, Germany.

Additionally, at 1669 cm⁻¹... -1 The C=O stretching vibration peak of amide I band was observed at 1450-1489 cm⁻¹. -1 A benzene ring skeletal vibration peak was observed at 1148 cm⁻¹. -1 Asymmetric stretching vibration peaks of COC were observed at 1020-1100 cm⁻¹. -1 The presence of the broad Si-O-Si peak indicates the successful synthesis of the toughening and compatibilizing agent.

[0072]

[0073] The lightweight impact-resistant PC / ABS prepared in the examples and comparative examples was injection molded into a sample bar, and the following performance tests were conducted, and the results are shown in Table 3, respectively.

[0074] 1. Density: The PC / ABS alloy was tested by the density bottle method of GB / T 4472-2011 standard, and the rod-shaped structure with a length of 5 cm and a diameter of 0.5 cm was prepared;

The monomer ratio of the toughening compatibilizer in Comparative Examples 1-6 is not within the protection scope of the claims, and the impact resistance or heat resistance is affected. In Comparative Example 7, a commercially available toughening agent is used, although the density is close to that of Example 1, the interfacial strength of the hollow glass microspheres and the resin matrix and the toughening agent is not high, so the impact strength of the system is low. In Comparative Example 8, no hollow glass microspheres are added, and the density is higher, reaching 1.18 g / cm 3 In Comparative Example 9, although the hollow glass microspheres are added, the particle size is not added according to the gradation, the hollow glass microspheres are affected by the shear stress of the extruder, the breakage rate is higher, which leads to a higher density and poorer mechanical properties. In Comparative Example 10, the hollow glass microspheres are not coated with the amino-terminated branched polysiloxane, and the breakage rate is also high and the impact strength of the material is low.
