Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical-grade PET film, in particular to a high-definition flexible optical film and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of display technology, flexible display devices, such as foldable mobile phones, rollable televisions, and wearable devices, are gradually becoming a new trend in the market. One of the core components of these devices is their screen cover or surface optical film, which is required to not only have high light transmittance, low haze, and other characteristics of traditional optical films, but also have excellent flexibility, folding resistance, and impact resistance. However, the balance between flexibility and strength of super-flexible optical films is difficult to achieve. Reducing the thickness for flexibility will weaken the material strength, and frequent bending can easily cause molecular chain rupture, affecting the light guiding performance. In addition, stretching and shearing stress are generated during frequent folding, thus easily causing scratches or cracks. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application solves the technical contradiction that high definition and super flexibility cannot be reconciled by synergistically modifying the nanoparticles and optimizing the overall formulation and process.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A high-definition flexible optical film is obtained by melt extrusion, asynchronous bidirectional stretching, in-situ heat relaxation, and cooling and winding of the following raw materials in weight parts:

[0006] PET master batch 100 parts;

[0007] PEN master batch 5-10 parts;

[0008] Flexible polyester elastomer 6-12 parts;

[0009] Nano-composite dispersion liquid 10-16 parts;

[0010] The nano-composite dispersion liquid includes 20-30 wt% modified nanocellulose crystals (mCNC), 15-25 wt% hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer (SEBS), 10-15 wt% stearic acid surface-coated nano-barium sulfate (SA-BaSO4), and the balance of ethylene glycol. The addition method is to inject the extruder through the side feeding device in the middle section of the extruder.

[0011] Further, the modification method of the modified nanocellulose crystals is as follows: the nanocellulose crystals are dispersed in anhydrous ethanol, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH570) is added, the temperature is raised to 70°C and refluxed overnight. After the reaction is completed, the mixture is centrifuged, washed and dried. The dried solid is redispersed in tetrahydrofuran, 2-vinyl-2-oxazoline, acrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate are added, the mixture is stirred and mixed evenly, nitrogen gas is purged for 30 min, then benzoyl peroxide is added, and the reaction is carried out under nitrogen protection for 4-6 h. After the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is poured into a large amount of n-hexane, allowed to stand to precipitate, filtered, washed and dried to obtain the final product.

[0012] Further, the mass ratio of γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane to nanocellulose crystals is 5~10:1; the molar ratio of 2-vinyl-2-oxazoline, acrylic acid, glycidyl methacrylate, and benzoyl peroxide is 1~3:3~6:2~5:0.01~0.1.

[0013] Furthermore, the hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer is a linear triblock copolymer with polystyrene as the end block and ethylene-butene copolymer obtained by hydrogenating polybutadiene as the middle elastic block.

[0014] Furthermore, the preparation method of the stearic acid surface coated with nano-barium sulfate is as follows: disperse nano-barium sulfate in deionized water, heat to 60°C, add stearic acid accounting for 3-8% of the mass of nano-barium sulfate, stir at high speed to emulsify for 1-2 hours, centrifuge after the reaction is completed, wash and dry to obtain the product.

[0015] Furthermore, the preparation process of the nanocomposite dispersion is as follows: modified cellulose nanocrystals, SEBS, and barium sulfate nanocoated with stearic acid are sequentially added to ethylene glycol, and high-speed shear emulsification is carried out at 50~60℃ for 0.5~1 hours to form a uniform and stable suspension.

[0016] Furthermore, the flexible polyester elastomer is obtained by melt blending TPEE and maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene at a mass ratio of 2:1, wherein the grafting rate of maleic anhydride in the maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene is 1% to 2%.

[0017] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the high-definition flexible optical film as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1. After thoroughly drying PET masterbatch, PEN masterbatch and flexible polyester elastomer, mix them evenly and feed them into an extruder. In the middle section of the extruder, add nano-composite dispersion through a side feeding device, mix with PET and extrude through a die to form a cast sheet.

[0019] S2, the cast sheet is first stretched longitudinally, the longitudinal stretching ratio is 2.5~3.0:1, the temperature is 85~95℃; then transversely stretched, the transverse stretching ratio is 3.8~4.5:1, the temperature is 110~120℃;

[0020] S3, the film sheet after transverse stretching is in the film drawing clamp, and is subjected to heat relaxation treatment at 150~160℃ for 3~8 seconds, so that the film sheet is retracted by 3%~5%;

[0021] S4, cooling and winding: the film sheet after relaxation treatment is cooled, edge cut and wound, and the film is obtained.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0023] 1. By using the refractive index matched modified nano-barium sulfate and highly dispersed modified nanocellulose crystals, the light scattering is effectively reduced, and the high-definition optical performance is greatly improved;

[0024] 2. By modifying the nanocellulose crystals with vinyl siloxane, active sites are introduced on the surface, and then in-situ radical polymerization with 2-vinyl-2-oxazoline, acrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate can improve the high compatibility and thermal stability with the PET substrate, so that it can effectively transfer and disperse stress; SEBS and composite flexible polyester elastomer synergistically toughen, and the internal stress is released and the flexible microstructure is constructed by combining asynchronous stretching and heat relaxation process, so as to give the film super-soft characteristics;

[0025] 3. The nanocomposite dispersion liquid is injected in-situ through side feeding, which avoids the pre-drying and high-speed shearing damage of nanoparticles, improves the dispersion uniformity and processing efficiency, and has high stability; the components have good compatibility, the film size is stable, and there is no rainbow stripe.

[0088] Table 1

[0089]

[0090] In combination with the data in Table 1, observing Comparative Examples 1-3, the nanocomposite dispersion prepared in the present application is fed into the middle section of the extruder through the side feeding device, which can effectively improve the dispersion compatibility of the nanoparticles in the PET substrate, avoiding stress concentration leading to the decrease of flexibility and light transmittance; the free radical grafting polymerization modification of nanocellulose crystals effectively enhances its interface bonding capacity, which is also one of the key features to realize high definition and super flexibility; the introduction of flexible components can further enhance the toughness of the material on the basis of adding the nanocomposite dispersion, and has little effect on the improvement of its optical properties.

[0091] Examples 1-3 are high-definition super-flexible optical films prepared by feeding the nanocomposite dispersion into the middle section of the extruder through the side feeding device, combined with asynchronous stretching and in-situ heat relaxation. Asynchronous stretching induces anisotropic orientation of molecular chains and nanoparticles, which preliminarily optimizes the structure; the subsequent heat relaxation effectively releases internal stress and causes slight shrinkage of the mCNC network, forming a flexible microstructure in the matrix that can effectively dissipate bending energy, thereby giving it extremely high folding resistance.
