Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyolefin fibers, and more specifically to a reinforced polyolefin resin composite fiber and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Polyolefin resins are a general term for thermoplastic plastics polymerized from simple olefin monomers (such as ethylene and propylene). They are the most produced and widely used synthetic polymer materials globally. Their family mainly includes polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), boasting a vast product system. These materials are favored due to their abundant raw materials, low cost, and excellent overall performance. Common characteristics include excellent chemical stability, superior electrical insulation, low density, and good processability. By adjusting catalysts, comonomers, and process conditions, their molecular structure can be precisely controlled, thereby producing products in various forms, from highly crystalline rigid plastics to elastic rubbers, to meet diverse needs. Polyolefins are ubiquitous in daily life. From common plastic bags, cling film, and beverage bottles to household appliances, automotive parts, industrial pipes, and fiber products, their applications cover almost all industrial sectors, including packaging, agriculture, automotive, medical, and electronics.

[0003] Patent CN109487365B discloses a dyeable polyolefin fiber, which is mainly composed of polyolefin, modified polyester, compatibilizer, and antioxidant. However, the existing technology has some shortcomings: polyolefin is an excellent insulator, but during use, it is prone to generating electrostatic sparks due to charge accumulation, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reinforced polyolefin resin composite fiber and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reinforced polyolefin resin composite fiber, wherein the composite fiber is prepared from high-density polyethylene, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder, modified nano-silica, modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes, polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride compatibilizer, antioxidant tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite and antioxidant pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate]; the modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes are prepared from multi-walled carbon nanotubes, concentrated nitric acid solution and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous solution; the modified nano-silica is prepared from nano-silica, γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane, acetic acid and ethanol aqueous solution.

[0006] Furthermore, the mass ratio of nano-silica, γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane and aqueous ethanol solution is 1:(0.15-0.25):(8-12).

[0007] Furthermore, the mass ratio of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, concentrated nitric acid solution, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous solution is 1:(8-12):(15-25).

[0008] Furthermore, the mass ratio of high-density polyethylene, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder, modified nano-silica, modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes, polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride compatibilizer, antioxidant tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite, and antioxidant pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid] is (60-70):(15-20):(2-3):(3-5):(4-6):(0.1-0.3):(0.2-0.4).

[0009] Furthermore, a method for preparing reinforced polyolefin resin composite fibers includes the following steps: (1) Preheat and dry high-density polyethylene resin at 80℃±5℃ for 2-2.2 hours; preheat and dry nano-silica with a particle size of 20-40nm and multi-walled carbon nanotubes with an outer diameter of 8-15nm and a length of 30-50μm under vacuum at 80℃±5℃ for 2-3 hours. (2) Mix γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane with an ethanol aqueous solution of 50-60% by mass, adjust the pH value to 5.5-6.0 with acetic acid, stir at 50-60℃ and 200-300rpm for 30-40 minutes, then add nano-silica, sonicate at 300-400W for 30-40 minutes, filter, wash with anhydrous ethanol 2-4 times, and then vacuum dry at 70-80℃ for 4-6 hours to obtain modified nano-silica; (3) Add multi-walled carbon nanotubes to a concentrated nitric acid solution with a mass fraction of 55-65%, and sonicate at 65-75℃ for 2-4 hours. The ultrasonic power is 300-500W and the frequency is 35-45kHz. After treatment, wash with deionized water until neutral, and then vacuum dry at 85-95℃ for 6-8 hours to obtain acidified multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Add the acidified multi-walled carbon nanotubes to a hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide aqueous solution with a mass fraction of 3-5%, stir at 60-70℃ at 400-600rpm for 3-5 hours, filter, wash with ethanol 3-5 times, and vacuum dry at 75-85℃ for 4-6 hours to obtain modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes. (4) Place half of the total mass of high-density polyethylene, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder, modified nano-silica, modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes, polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride compatibilizer with a grafting rate of 0.8-1.2%, antioxidant tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite and antioxidant pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid] in a mixer and mix at a speed of 600-800 rpm for 5-10 minutes to obtain a premix. (5) The premixed material is added to a twin-screw extruder for co-extrusion, and then water-cooled and pelletized to obtain composite masterbatch; (6) Mix the composite masterbatch and the remaining high-density polyethylene, then melt spin and cool to obtain nascent fibers; (7) The nascent fibers are stretched in two stages, and then heat-set in a heat-setting box at 100-120℃ in a relaxed state for 1-2 minutes. After oiling, the composite fibers are obtained by winding.

[0010] Furthermore, the molecular weight of high-density polyethylene resin is 120,000-150,000.

[0011] Furthermore, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder has a particle size of 20-30 μm and a molecular weight of 2-3 million.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (5), the temperature zones of the twin-screw extruder are: zone 1 165-175℃, zone 2 185-195℃, zone 3 195-205℃, zone 4 200-210℃, and die head 205-220℃. The screw speed is controlled at 200-400 rpm, and the length-to-diameter ratio is 39-41:1.

[0013] Furthermore, the conditions for melt spinning in step (6) are: spinneret orifice diameter 0.24-0.26 mm, spinning rate 60-100 m / min, and spinning temperature 200-230 ℃.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (7), the two-stage stretching is as follows: the first stage uses hot water stretching at 90-99℃ with a stretching ratio of 3-5 times; the second stage uses hot roller stretching at 100-120℃ with a stretching ratio of 2-3 times.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: 1. This invention employs γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane to perform surface grafting modification on nano-silica. The methoxy group at one end of this silane coupling agent molecule hydrolyzes to generate silanol groups, which then undergo a condensation reaction with the silanol groups on the surface of nano-silica to form Si-O-Si covalent bonds. This reduces the surface energy of the nano-silica and improves its interfacial compatibility with organic matrices. Secondly, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are acidified and modified with surfactants. Treatment with concentrated nitric acid introduces oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl groups into the tube walls. These functional groups subsequently bind with the quaternary ammonium cations in hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide through ionic bonds. The introduction of long alkyl chains significantly improves the nonpolar properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The dispersibility of the modified polyolefin matrix; the anhydride groups in the polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride compatibilizer molecules can strongly interact with the active groups (methacryloyloxy groups of silanes or quaternary ammonium salt cationic polar head groups on the surface of carbon nanotubes) on the surface of the modified filler, while its polyethylene segments are entangled with the resin matrix, thereby constructing an interfacial bridge between the filler and the matrix; ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder serves as a reinforcing phase to improve the strength of the fiber; nano-silica, as a hard dispersed phase, acts as a stress-bearing point and a friction resistance point, improving the stiffness and wear resistance of the fiber, while the uniformly dispersed modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes form conductive pathways in the matrix through mutual overlap, giving the fiber antistatic ability.

After hydrolysis, the silanol groups of γ-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane condense with the silanol groups on the surface of nano-silica to form Si-O-Si covalent bonds, improving the dispersibility and interfacial bonding of nano-silica in the organic phase. After acidification with concentrated nitric acid, the multi-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit improved dispersion on their walls. The introduction of oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl groups further binds to the quaternary ammonium cations in hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide through ionic bonds. The introduction of long alkyl chains enhances the compatibility between carbon nanotubes and polyolefin matrices. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder serves as a reinforcing phase to improve the strength and wear resistance of fibers. The maleic anhydride compatibilizer grafted onto polyethylene has an anhydride group in its molecule that can strongly interact with the active groups on the surface of the modified nanofiller, while its polyethylene segments become entangled with the resin matrix. This creates an interfacial bridge between the inorganic filler and the organic polymer matrix, preventing phase separation and ensuring effective stress transfer.
