Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of polymer materials technology, and in particular to a polypropylene composite material, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Polypropylene has become one of the mainstream materials for the production of automotive interior and exterior parts due to its excellent comprehensive properties such as light weight, balanced mechanical properties, convenient processing and molding, and controllable cost. It is widely used in the manufacturing of various interior parts such as dashboards, door panels, and pillars, and plays an important role in promoting the lightweight and low-cost development of automotive interiors.

[0003] However, existing polypropylene materials still suffer from numerous technical defects that urgently need to be addressed in practical automotive applications, severely hindering their application effectiveness and future development. On one hand, the linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CLTE) of existing polypropylene materials is generally high, making automotive interior parts prone to thermal deformation under harsh conditions such as high temperatures and direct sunlight in summer. This leads to decreased dimensional stability of components, resulting in warping, increased gaps, and other problems, affecting the assembly precision and reliability of the interior components. On the other hand, the material releases a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during processing and molding. These VOCs emit irritating odors, directly damaging the air quality inside the vehicle and harming the health of passengers, failing to meet the stringent environmental performance requirements of the current automotive industry. To address these issues, the industry has conducted relevant research and proposed two main improvement solutions: First, adjusting the CLTE value by adding fillers, modifiers, and other components to the polypropylene substrate. However, this approach often comes at the cost of sacrificing other key properties such as material toughness and processing fluidity, making it difficult to achieve a balance in overall performance. Second, using low-odor raw materials or adding odor adsorbents to reduce VOC content and odor. However, the selection range of existing low-odor raw materials is narrow, and adsorbents suffer from problems such as unreasonable formulation design and imperfect preparation processes. Their ability to remove odor and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) is limited, and they also increase the material preparation cost, making it impossible to achieve large-scale application.

[0004] In conclusion, developing a polypropylene composite material that combines low CLTE value, low odor, and good scratch resistance has become an urgent technological need in the field of automotive interior materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a polypropylene composite material with low CLTE value, low odor, and good scratch resistance, as well as its preparation method and application.

[0008] Wherein, the pore size D1 of the silica gel adsorbent is the average diameter of the pores in the porous structure inside the silica gel adsorbent; the test method is to use a pore size analyzer to calculate the specific surface area, pore size distribution, and total pore volume of the material through nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, and the test standard is GB / T 21650.2-2008. The silica gel described in this application is an inorganic silica gel with a porous structure, CAS number 112926-00-8. The outer diameter D2 of the carbon nanotube refers to the diameter of the carbon nanotube from the outer surface to the outer surface, that is, the distance between the two farthest points on the outer periphery of the carbon nanotube; the method used is based on direct imaging and image analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the relevant standard is GB / T 26826-2011; As an embodiment of this application, the particle size D50 of the silica gel adsorbent is ≤50μm; in one embodiment, the particle size D50 of the silica gel adsorbent is ≤30μm; in another embodiment, the particle size D50 of the silica gel adsorbent is a range of one or any two of the following: 1μm, 2μm, 5μm, 8μm, 10μm, 15μm, 18μm, 20μm, 25μm, 28μm, 30μm, 35μm, 38μm, 40μm, 45μm, 48μm, and 50μm. The particle size of the silica gel adsorbent is determined by using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer with a laser beam of 630nm wavelength, a scattering angle of 90°, and a testing time of 300s, measuring the angle and intensity distribution of the scattered light to calculate the particle size.

[0009] As an embodiment of this application, the carbon nanotube can be a single-walled carbon nanotube or a multi-walled carbon nanotube.

[0010] As an embodiment of this application, the length of the carbon nanotube is 3-55 μm; in one embodiment, the length of the carbon nanotube is one or any two of the following: 3 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 28 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 38 μm, 40 μm, 45 μm, 48 μm, 50 μm, and 55 μm.

[0012] This application provides a polypropylene composite material that, through the synergistic effect of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes, addresses the issue of material odor emission by forming a physically cross-linked structure within the system, achieving a low coefficient of linear expansion (CLE) and excellent scratch resistance. The compatibility between the D50 outer diameter of the carbon nanotubes and the pore size of the silica gel adsorbent allows the carbon nanotubes to migrate into the porous adsorbent during melt shearing, forming a physical overlap that connects the adsorbents into a cross-linked network. Firstly, the silica gel adsorbent rapidly captures and adsorbs low-emission odor molecules generated during the melt shearing of the material. Simultaneously, the cross-linked network confines these pre-adsorbed odor molecules within the porous adsorbent, further reducing odor interference and enhancing the adsorption effect. Secondly, the cross-linked network restricts molecular chain slippage, reducing the degree of internal molecular chain movement caused by temperature changes, minimizing macroscopic dimensional changes, and imparting a low CLE characteristic to the material. Thirdly, the cross-linked network improves the material's rigidity, and the addition of carbon nanotubes induces increased crystallinity in the polypropylene, increasing surface hardness and giving the material excellent scratch resistance.

The preparation method of the polypropylene composite material includes the following steps: (1) Weigh each component according to its weight parts; (2) The above components are mixed and added to an extruder for melt dispersion, melt mixing, extrusion granulation, and the polypropylene composite material is obtained.

[0041] (3) CLTE test: The polypropylene composition was injection molded into a sample of 80×10×4mm, and the CLTE was tested using the sample according to the standard ISO11359-2:2021. Example 1 A polypropylene composite material comprises the following components in parts by weight: PP resin - 165 parts, silica gel adsorbent - 13 parts, carbon nanotubes - 13 parts, talc powder - 12 parts and antioxidant - 0.4 parts.

[0042] Example 2 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 1, differs only in the selection of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-2 and carbon nanotube-2 are selected.

[0043] Example 3 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 1, differs only in the selection of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-3 and carbon nanotubes-2 are selected.

[0044] Example 4 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 1, differs only in the selection of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-3 and carbon nanotube-3 are selected.

[0045] Example 5 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 1, differs only in the selection of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-3 and carbon nanotubes-4 are selected.

[0046] Example 6 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 1, differs only in the selection of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-3 and carbon nanotubes-5 are selected.

[0047] Example 7 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 1, differs only in the selection of silica gel adsorbent and carbon nanotubes; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-4 and carbon nanotubes-5 are selected.

[0048] Example 8 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 2, differs only in the choice of silica gel adsorbent; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-5 is selected.

[0049] Example 9 A polypropylene composite material, compared with Example 2, differs only in the choice of silica gel adsorbent; specifically, silica gel adsorbent-6 is selected.

[0050] Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 As shown in the table above, the polypropylene composite material prepared in the embodiments of the present invention has an odor of ≤4.0, ΔL ≤1.0, and CLTE ≤50. The polypropylene composite material prepared in the embodiments of the present invention has low CLTE value, low odor, and good scratch resistance.

[0051] A comparison of Examples 1-9 shows that when the pore size of the silica gel adsorbent is D1 and the outer diameter (D50) of the carbon nanotubes is D2, the prepared polypropylene composite material exhibits low CLTE value, low odor, and good scratch resistance when 0 ≤ D1 - D2 ≤ 17 nm. A comparison of Examples 3-6 shows that the overall performance is better when the outer diameter (D50) of the carbon nanotubes is 12 nm ≤ D2 ≤ 15 nm. A comparison of Examples 2 and Examples 8-9 shows that the larger the particle size (D50) of the silica gel adsorbent, the worse the scratch resistance.

[0052] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 10, the melt flow rate of PP resin has little effect on the final performance. The prepared polypropylene composite material has low CLTE value, low odor, and good scratch resistance.

[0053] A comparison of Examples 1 and 11-13 shows that the overall performance is better when the weight ratio of silica gel adsorbent to carbon nanotubes is (0.5-1):1. A comparison of Examples 1 and 14-16 shows that the overall performance is better when the mixture consists of 50-70 parts PP resin, 2-4 parts silica gel adsorbent, 2-4 parts carbon nanotubes, and 5-15 parts filler.

[0054] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, when the pore size of the silica gel adsorbent is D1 and the outer diameter of the carbon nanotube is D2, which does not satisfy 0≤D1-D2≤17nm, the carbon nanotube cannot migrate into the interior of the porous adsorbent, and the odor deteriorates significantly.

[0055] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-4, zeolite molecular sieves or diatomaceous earth were chosen to replace silica gel adsorbents because zeolite molecular sieves and diatomaceous earth are both rigid materials. The migration of carbon nanotubes into the adsorbent will cause breakage, reduce the ability to induce crystallization, increase the CLTE value, and reduce scratch resistance.

[0056] As can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 5-6, Comparative Example 5 does not contain silica gel adsorbent, has poor adsorption capacity, and has an extremely unpleasant odor. Comparative Example 6 does not contain carbon nanotubes, resulting in a poorer ability to induce crystallization, leading to an increase in the CLTE value and a decrease in scratch resistance.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the substance and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
